Nunnally vi Britannia (ナナリー・ヴィ・ブリタニア, Nanarī Vui Buritania), is one of the main supporting characters of Code Geass. She was formerly a Princess of the Holy Britannian Empire and the Eleventh Prince Lelouch vi Britannia's younger sister. Additionally, she was 87th in line to the imperial throne and the final Viceroy of Area 11. After she was exiled, she used the alias, Nunnally Lamperouge (ナナリー・ランペルージ, Nanarī Ranperūji).
Throughout the series, Nunnally has shown to be almost inhumanly kindhearted, patient, and understanding. She endured her double handicap of blindness and paralysis with a smile and warmth, and she is kind to those around her. Nunnally has gentle ideals, and she is on a neutral side, meaning she will make the world a better place in her way.
However, like Lelouch, Nunnally has shown that she can make heavy-hearted decisions bordering on ruthlessness and even attempted to perform actions that exceed her abilities. Despite this, Nunnally's greatest weakness is her kind heart, unable to be as cold and calculating as her brother. According to Lelouch, her most significant characteristic is her smile, which expresses gratitude to people around her. Nunnally cannot walk, see, or take care of herself, so the least she could do is smile.
Character Background:
Nunnally was a Princess and a daughter of Emperor Charles Zi Britannia and imperial consort Marianne vi Britannia. She was 87th in the line of succession to the Britannian throne. When her mother was assassinated, Nunnally was paralyzed by bullet wounds on her legs and went blind due to the geass cast on her by her father, making her believe that she was blind.
After the confrontation between Lelouch and Charles vi Britannia about the murder of their mother, both Lelouch and Nunnally were exiled to Japan as political prisoners. They then went on to live in Kururugi's residence, where she first met Suzaku Kururugi.
After Britannia invades Japan, Lelouch hides their identity and changes their surname to Lamperouge. They then seek help from Marianne's old allies, the Ashford family, who kept their identity a secret and allowed the two siblings to live in a building on campus to accommodate her disabilities. Nunnally attends Ashford Academy's middle school and is friends with Lelouch's classmates, particularly Shirley Fenette. She is very kindhearted and calls the Elevens "Japanese people."
First Season:
Nunnally's role in the first season is minor, serving as little more than motivation for Lelouch's goal of overthrowing the Britannian empire and creating a world where Nunnally can live in peace.
Afterward, she appears again being kidnapped by Mao, who uses her to get to Lelouch for payback for what he did to him. After locating Nunnally, Lelouch and Suzaku are shocked to see a bomb found above her. However, with teamwork, Lelouch and Suzaku manage to rescue Nunnally.
V.V. kidnaps her, and Lelouch abandons the Black Knights in the middle of the battle to save her. Not only is he unsuccessful in doing so, being captured by Suzaku en route, but his departure leaves his forces powerless against the well-coordinated Britannian forces, ending in their decisive defeat.
Second Season:
The second season reveals that everyone's memories of Nunnally have been erased, Lelouch's included. Everyone at Ashford Academy believes that Clara Lanfranc and later Rolo Lamperouge is Lelouch's younger sibling instead and has been the entire time. After recovering his memory, Lelouch deduces that Nunnally is likely being held hostage by the Emperor, who would not hesitate to use his children to achieve his goals.
Nunnally makes her first appearance in the second season as a Britannian princess and the new Viceroy of Area 11. She still remembers Lelouch, though she is unaware of his identity as Zero. Nunnally suspects that something has happened between her brother and Suzaku. Nunnally has vowed to continue her late older half-sister Princess Euphemia's will by reinstating the Special Administrative Region in Japan, sharing her and Suzaku's belief that she can change the world in gentle ways.
During the second battle of Tokyo, Rolo and Sayoko are sent to retrieve Nunnally. Though Sayoko manages to kidnap the transport set to evacuate Nunnally, both are seemingly killed when they are caught in the blast radius of Nina's F.L.E.I.J.A. bomb, fired unwillingly by Suzaku when his life was in danger under Lelouch's Geass Command.
When Lelouch converses with Charles and Marianne in The Ragnarök Connection (episode), it is revealed that Nunnally's injuries were orchestrated by V.V., who set her up to be a witness to the murder of her mother. Her blindness, which was thought to be psychological, was the result of Charles' Geass, done to protect her against possible reprisal. Charles then chose to send them both away, arguing that he was doing so to protect them from V.V. He felt he could no longer trust him.
When Nunnally reveals that she is still alive, she says to Lelouch and Suzaku that they are now her enemy. During the Battle of Mt.Fuji, Nunnally fires F.L.E.I.J.A. bombs at her brother to stop him but fails to stop Lelouch. Later, as the final battle rages, she drops the Damocles Key, falls off her wheelchair, and crawls around looking for the Key. Lelouch manages to make his way onto the Damocles and confronts her, but is shocked that Nunnally could break through Charles' Geass when she opened her eyes to greet him, asking if he will use Geass on her.
Nunnally refuses to give Lelouch the Damocles Key, and she explains that Damocles will become a symbol of hatred among the people, allowing them to move forward into the future once it's gone.
As Lelouch has deemed that her ideals will not conflict with his plans further, he promptly uses his Geass to force Nunnally to relinquish the Key and uses Damocles to take over the world.
Two months later, Nunnally is a prisoner bound in chains and being taken to witness the execution of the U.F.N. leaders. In the guise of Zero, Suzaku appears and impales Lelouch on his sword, Nunnally can only watch in shock. When Lelouch falls near her, she takes his hand and realizes that he has sacrificed himself on purpose. Declaring her love for her brother, Nunnally cries as Lelouch dies.
Sometime later, Nunnally becomes the 100th Empress of Britannia and remains an important diplomatic figure with Zero (Suzaku).
