She then takes Akiyuki back to the airship, Zanbani, and begins to worth with him on his condition.

She has the ability to hear the voices of Xam'd and humanforms, and even knew how to turn a Xam'd into its normal form and save them from turning to "stone".

Ishuu Benikawa
Nakiami's relationship with Ishuu can be described as rocky, at best. Ishuu appears to have no issue calling Nakiami a 'bitch' or 'attention whore,' simply for wanting to investigate Sentan Island.

Trivia

 * It has been noted that her character resembles Nausicaä from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
 * She cares for the Xam'd and even the Humanform weapons, much like Nausicaä cares for the insects of the Toxic Jungle and her Beat Kayak is similar to Nausicaä's glider


 * Madam Tenshin has given her the nickname "Cloud Rider"
 * It is revealed by Ishu that Nakiami is not her real name, rather it was just made up by the crew of the Zanbani after they heard her yelling at a younger Nakiami to "stop crying" (泣き止め nakiyame)
