Nanoha Takamachi's growth as a mage

Nanoha begins as an ordinary student who discovers the intelligent device Raising Heart and becomes involved in collecting dangerous Jewel Seeds. Her attempt to understand rather than simply defeat Fate Testarossa establishes the empathy that guides her later battles.

Raising Heart, Fate, and the Book of Darkness

In the A's storyline and its film adaptation, Nanoha fights alongside Fate and allies against the Wolkenritter and the Book of Darkness. Her precise long-range magic and determination to communicate are as important as her raw power.
