Nanno takes on different symbolisms and interpretations of her character, but she is definitely not human. Evident in being repeatedly killed but still made it out alive (Episode 2: Apologies) and existing in different eras without aging (Episode 12-13:BFFs). Some symbolize her as Satan, or Hellgirl, Devil, No One, God, or an experimented being. But I only see her fitting as what the title sees of her--- A girl from nowhere.
A character with a twisted ideal of justice who acts according to people's desires, pushing them to suffer stretched consequences to the extremes. And it even goes well according to her plan, deliberately ruining lives and blaming it on them for choosing to be selfish, for being a slave to hate and power. The story goes on in favor of her, always as she leads them to a path of no return.
Then when she's satisfied and had enough fun, she disappears traceless, all people remember is that she was Nanno, hated or glorified.
The series is just the worst of everything. The dark side of humans, terrified to embrace their vulnerabilities that it haunts them and destroys them. It's all about knowing what's really matters, is it riches and glory? Beauty and power? Apology and Forgiveness? More than humanity and mercy?
However, there is the slightest light in Episode 8: Lost and Found where Nanno comes across TK, a lonely thief boy, who had sincere love for her. This is a first for humanizing Nanno's soft spot for people who are empty. (Who knows maybe Nanno is the same?) or it's just plain pity.
Maybe Nanno manipulated TK or really loved him with all their similarity, who knows. But it's the only straightforward episode that was not psychotic or brutal. It was plain peace and comfort.
But I can say this for sure, Nanno acts so much like a judge who deems people respectable or disgusting, right or wrong by subjecting them to trials and observing them in dire situations in every episode's story where they are given the choice to opt out but are too drawn by the glory of desire that it traps them, making it hard for them to escape. It's like a genie's wish but with a price to pay.
I hope there's a season 2 backstory or sumthn to enrich us of the sense of it all. Beyond the rotten nature of man, what lies in the future then? And I do hope it does not anymore generalize all humans as glory greedy freaks who are cowards who can't fight back and take responsibility for their actions. The series presents too little opportunities for people to grow even if it's broken or dim.
