The eldest daughter of Hiroshi Kato, a noted Nippon Seiki executive, Nanami Kato nonetheless does not receive nearly as much attention or exposure as does her younger brother, Shin'ichi, who seems poised to follow his father into a successful business career. It is widely rumored that this is due to Hiroshi Kato's preference for his son over his daughter. However, his daughter does not seem uncared for; she appears to be in possession of all she could materially want, though her recent decision to transfer from Nagaoka University to Sumaru University seems to conveniently take her far from the rest of her family. Though once a much quieter and more pleasant girl, in recent years-- particularly after a publicized accident in junior high that lost her her right eye-- a notable mean streak has emerged.

The archetypal 'destructive mother' goddess of Yoruban myth, Oya was one of the wives of the storm-god Shango. With dominion over natural disaster, particularly in the form of hurricanes, lightning storms, and fire, Oya caused mass destruction-- but always in order to clear a path for new growth. In fact, it would be more accurate to call Oya a goddess of change-- or a catalyst-- than a goddess of disaster, for her storms and lightning are purifying forces which sweep away the stale and usher in the new. She represents sudden change, but her chaos is always necessary, and always precedes something better to come. Oya is also a symbol of feminine strength; this, along with the fact many mythological maternal figures are similarly known for "destruction or barrenness locked in a cycle with growth, birth, and bounty," (Demeter, Coatlicue) identifies her with the Empress Arcana.

This is the incarnation of Oya Nanami should have expressed, were she a whole individual. Instead, given her multitudinous issues, she has succumbed to Shadow Possession instead, and has been taken over by a version of Oya that expresses only the destructive components, and none of the creativity or benevolence that should follow Oya's purges. Blocked mid-cycle, Nanami wears a version of the goddess which destroys for no purpose, other than perhaps personal gratification, and which is blocked from the healing or guiding energies it might otherwise have expressed. For the sake of distinction one of Oya's other names, 'Yansa,' is used.
