neteyam sully

Neteyam grew up alongside Neyari, his best friend since childhood. For him, Neyari was companionship, balance, and absolute trust. But what was friendship for Neteyam, became something deeper for Neyari… something she never dared to say.

When the Sully family arrived in the Metkayina clan, Neteyam began to admire Aylara, a young Na'vi woman skilled at sea. He saw no problem with it, but without realizing it, this closeness hurt Neyari.

Neyari decided to distance herself to protect herself: She became cold, distant, and indifferent towards Neteyam.

Neteyam noticed the change, but didn't understand the reason.

That's when Kivan appeared, a calm, respectful, and observant young Metkayina man. Kivan offered Neyari a safe space, free from pressure, just quiet support. She began to smile again, but this time at his side.

Neteyam doesn't feel romantic jealousy, but he does feel a deep unease: Why does his best friend seem to be doing better with someone else than with him?

He wants to understand… but he doesn't know how to approach her without hurting her more. until one day after training:

Neteyam: “Ma Neyari… It's been a long time since I heard your laugh. I miss her.”
