Neytiri te Tskaha Mo'at'ite is a fictional character in the Avatar franchise, created by James Cameron. She is portrayed by Zoe Saldaña.[1]
Neytiri is the feisty, beautiful princess of the Na'vi clan, Omaticaya. While in a Pandoran forest, she meets a lost Jake Sully, and saves him from a pack of viperwolves. After Jake is initiated into the clan, Neytiri becomes his teacher, helping him complete several tasks, eventually falling in love and mating with him. Neytiri fights alongside Jake in the assault on the Tree of Souls, saves him from being killed by Colonel Miles Quaritch, and drives the RDA off of Pandora.
Over the following fifteen years, Neytiri has three children with Jake: sons Neteyam and Lo'ak and a daughter named Tuk. The couple also adopts another daughter named Kiri, born of Dr. Grace Augustine’s inert avatar body. Miles "Spider" Socorro is also an unofficial member of the Sully family, with Neytiri being the only member who distrusts him due to his lineage and human nature.
The character also appears in literature, including various comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics. Various merchandise of the character have also been produced, including action figures and toys produced for McDonald's Happy Meals.
