queen nakia

The current Tawananna (queen) of the Hittite Empire, serving as the antagonist of the series.

Nakia is a high priestess with control over the element of water and was formerly a princess of Babylonia. She was sent to marry the Hittite king, Suppililiuma, at the young age of fifteen.

She harbors deep resentment towards her family for using her as a peace offering to a king who already had multiple wives, placing her last in line for the throne. Nakia stopped at nothing to secure her position as queen, and her mind remains consumed by thoughts of revenge against those who made her life difficult.

She is responsible for summoning Yuri into the past, intending to use her as a sacrifice for a death curse aimed at the princes ahead of her own son in the line of succession.

Nakia's sole desire is to see her son become the king of the Hittites. She employs any scheme necessary to achieve this, whether by sending her loyal aide Urhi or using her powers as a high priestess to control people's minds.
