Navire Sanchez

Pandoran born and raised, Navire knows the ins and outs of living on the hellish, bullet-riddled, blood-spattered, murder lands. What she knows more than surviving Pandora is hunting Vaults, and killing everything that gets in her way. She is no stranger to grief and has had her fair share of suffering, using Vault hunting as an outlet for release in the form of violent, uncensored murder.

Knowing no filter to her words and actions, Navire is impulsive and loud. She knows how to live well, and while she has a personal vendetta against Hyperion, has a soft spot for her so-called brother Blake. She doesn't aim to leave a legacy or be heroic by hunting the Vaults - all she wants is an adventure, and lots of loot to cash in on after.

Borderlands 1 & 2
Navire was born on Pandora on 27th August in a pack of feral cheetahs. She never got to meet her father who was taken away by Hyperion soldiers for slag experiments shortly after her birth. Just a month later, the pack was raided by Hyperion soldiers once more. Navire's mother shoved her and her brother into a cave where they couldn't be grabbed, though her mother was shot and killed. The rest of the pack were rounded up and taken away, though they left Navire and her brother alone. Together, they began to traverse Pandora. However, Navire's brother decided he wanted to go off on an adventure while Navire wanted safety. They split up after that, Navire never seeing her brother again.

Soon after splitting off from her brother, Navire was captured by Hyperion. She was put through horrible Eridium experiments which resulted in her current half-human form. With help from some other captives, Navire was able to escape the facility and run for her life. She ran into Reiss, who took pity on her and took her into Sanctuary. Under Reiss's care, Navire learned to fire a gun and protect herself. Other survival skills came naturally and she flourished within Sanctuary.

Grief soon struck her as Reiss was killed in the Marrowfields by Psychos. Navire was not aware until she was notified by Roland. Confused, upset, and frustrated, she took off from Sanctuary without a word and lived in the Dust for a year, alone and grieving. When she finally returned, she found a note addressed to her by Reiss when she was given access to his weapon stash. She inherited all his weapons though she doesn't use any of them and prefers to keep them for display.

Navire wasn't involved too much in the Vault of the Warrior. She lived in the Caustic Caverns after Handsome Jack's death, hunting Crystalisks for money and scouring the caverns for a shard of another Vault Key, able to be used to unlock the Vault of the Emperor on Eden 6. Shortly after acquiring the key shard, she met Blake in Sanctuary and took him under her metaphorical wing.

Borderlands 3
After the Vault of the Warrior was opened, Navire found herself busied with helping Rhys, Fiona, and their friends open the Vault of the Traveler. She wasn't too involved, though she guided the group of ragtag Vault Hunters through the Atlas biodomes and protect Cassius LeClemaine from Athena, though out of personal interest only. Once the Vault Hunters left the Atlas biodomes, Navire disappeared and only reappeared once the Vault of the Traveler was opened.

Navire returned to Sanctuary when it was under attack by Colonel Hector, though she left as soon as Sanctuary was safe once more after falling out with Lilith. She, Blake, and Array left and opened the Vault of the Emperor on Pandora in between the events of Colonel Hector's attacks on Sanctuary, and the Children of the Vault causing mayhem.

Navire failed to answer Lilith's initial call while the Crimson Raiders were still on Pandora. She was only found on Promethea, fighting in the Atlas vs Maliwan war for Atlas due to her friendship with Rhys. While attacking Maliwan, she stole Maliwan blueprints as well to give to Rhys so he could create elemental weapons as well. She informally agreed to help Atlas if there was nothing else on her plate.

Once Katagawa Jr. was killed, Navire boarded Sanctuary III to continue to assist the Crimson Raiders in taking down the CoV.

Personality
Upon first meeting Navire, one might notice pretty quickly how crass and unfiltered she can be. There is no thought to what she says, regardless if it may portray a bad image of her or hurt people. She says what's on her mind immediately, no matter if it's praise, insult, small talk, or big decisions. There is always something on her mind and will say it when given the chance. The only exception to this is Blake, her "brother" she took under her wing. To Blake, Navire is much nicer and softer, though she still doesn't sugar-coat anything.

Navire is no stranger to grief and lost her biological parents and an adoptive father. Her biological father disappeared shortly after her birth and her mother was shot in front of her by Hyperion soldiers, while her adoptive father Corporal Reiss was killed by Psychos. She lacked a good outlet for grief for Pandora can be cruel when it comes to loss. As a result, this manifested in pent up aggression and anger, and a strong sense to protect her friends. Her current outlet for release is Vault hunting and violent murder in a variety of ways.

There is a much softer side of her that can succumb to bouts of depression, especially when remembering Reiss. During times like these, Navire will often approach Dr. Zed who is as good of a father figure as he can manage, though he can do little except stop her from drinking too much. Navire strives to do well by the Crimson Raiders in honour of Reiss, even though she clashes heads with Commander Lilith from time to time.

Navire truly cares for very little except for her sense of adventure and her friends which she can be overprotective of. If she even suspects her sense of freedom is being limited she will buck back which has resulted in the fraying of her relationship with Roland and Lilith.
