Character Overview

Discovery of Neri

In the start of the series Neri is a mysterious thirteen-year-old girl who seems to spring from the sea and into the alien world of a modern adolescent. Resourceful and feisty, there are times when she seems sage-like beyond her years, and others when she appears to be a lost and bewildered child.

She was just a child when the crash happened that landed her and her father and other shipmates onto the island where she would call home. The others perished either in the crash or later by illness or by injury until it was just Neri and her father left. Her father taught her how to live on the island, he taught her to respect nature, he taught her many things and told her stories at night. When he grew sick he warned her of the outside world, that they would not understand her and the things she could do. When her father passed it left Neri all alone on her island, with no contact with any other people for quite some time. Her only friend was the Jali that saved her when she was little.

Her extraordinary upbringing has resulted in her being independent and self-willed, sometimes to the point of abrasion. Not that she means deliberate offence - she just says and does what she wants without having been taught many social restrictions. Somewhat of a wide-eyed innocent in her first brushes with civilisation, she reacts with a loners steely resolve when it seems to betray her.

But the real Neri always bubbles underneath - a gutsy, funny little battler, tempered with a touch of something mystical, for within this girl lies a magic gift. A gift always at threat of being ruined by exploitation - but one which could prove priceless to a world about to enter the new age of the 21st century. Among her many talents are the ability to swim to astonishing depths without the need of diving apparatus, she can stay under water for great lengths of time without having to come up for air due. She can also swim with great speed, often swimming faster than most boats. She has a strength much stronger than humans. Neri also has The Gift, rare even among her own people, to be able to talk to a jali. Part of that Gift also held by Neri, inherited by her mother is the gift of mending and healing, also the ability to harness the powers of the universe to help bring harmony and peace. She can also 'see' things even when blindfolded, as tested by Dianne Bates and Winston Seth in their scientific assessment of her, and can also hear well beyond the range of humans. Neri must have plenty of water, to drink and also to 'wet-down' her body with, or else she grows ill; she also needs to have sunlight to stay in good health.

Neri knows a lot about the island she lives on. She has made it her home. Neri sleeps in a nest she made up in a tree and knows what kind of food is good to eat, and what isn't. Neri is also learned in making natural medicines. When Brett ate some "bad berries", Neri made a remedy from local plants that helped him get better before sending him back to "his people".

Neri's only friend, before meeting Brett and Jason, was Jali, her people's word for whale. Confusion in communication with Jason and Brett caused the jali's name to become Charley. She can understand Charley and he can understand her. She loves him like a best friend. She tried to help him get out of a net ending up getting trapped in the net herself, before having Jason help her escape using his knife.

The first human contact Neri had was Jason. Jason had been assigned the task of tagging a whale, Charley as it turned out. Charley sent a distress call to Neri. When Dianne told Jason to shoot Neri arrived blocking Jason's shot. Neri dove under the water and Dianne took and made the shot and never saw Neri. Nobody believed Jason when he told them he saw a girl in the water.

Neri's next encounter with humans was with Jason's younger brother Brett after his boat had been lost at sea and washed ashore her island. He was hungry and thirsty and went in search of food and water on her island. Not knowing the dangers of certain plants he ate poisoned berries and passed out. When Neri first met Brett, she realized he had eaten some bad berries, and made a medicinal drink out of plants to help him get better and had him rest. When she saw through Charley's eyes a search boat from ORCA she woke Brett up and carried him back to his boat, told Brett not to speak of her, and pushed it into the ocean leading it out closer to the search vessel where he was rescued. When Brett was back on ORCA he told Jason he met Neri since Jason already knew of her. The boys kept Neri a closely guarded secret for as long as they could. They became good friends, learning about each other's way of living. Neri learning not only of ORCA and technology but also of other things, such as crying, something she had never done before. Only a few other people have learned about Neri, most of them children, and most of them are considered friends. Some of them help to free Charley when he was captured by a company called UBRI. After Charley was freed Neri opted to go on migration with him. Dr. Bates tries to stop her from going, reluctant to let her go. Neri said goodbye to the Bates family and Winston, and says her goodbye to Jason in the form of a kiss.

Finding Mera

In time Neri learned about her origins, discovering clues her father had left behind for her to find. Among them a necklace in the shape of her island with a mark made on it leading to the next clue, writing on a rock wall, which led to an arrow pointing to a specific beach in a place Neri called the "badlands". The clues lead her and her friends to discover the spaceship that brought Neri and her people to the island. It confirms Jason's suspicions that Neri is not from Earth. In the spaceship Neri feels an erie sense of familiarity and begins to remember things. That the ship's power comes from the sea for one. She also recognizes her father's sign on an orb and also on a hexagonal rod. After Froggy fixes the rod it is plugged in to the ship and Neri unknowingly activates a distress beacon. The orb turns out to be a hologram left for Neri by her father. He tells her of his Mission and also of her sister Mera.

With the help of her friends Neri discovers that Mera survived the crash in the pod her father had placed her in. The kids learn that Mera was found by a fisherman by way of an old newspaper article "Baby found at sea". Mera was given the name Jane Seaforth by the people of children's welfare and was brought up in several different foster homes but changed houses quite frequently due to her oddities. Eventually Mera was placed in a special school, The Institute of the Advancement of Human Ability or IAHA for short. It is from there that the kids helped her escape from just before Mera was to be transferred into the hands of Dr. Hellegren of UBRI. With Mera safe from UBRI Neri helped teach her sister her own ways of living and what she remembers of their origins and their father.

Contending now with UBRI, with Dr. Hellegren determined to find and capture the girls, and also dealing with a new commander and her son on ORCA it becomes even more vital to make sure the secret of Neri and Mera is kept secret. Neri is also determined to carry on her father's mission to protect the oceans, a hard task when it is learned that the scans Neri had been helping Dianne and Winston enhance turned up titanium under the reef bed. A highly valued deposit Captain Sam Phillips would very much like to make a profit from. Meanwhile UBRI spies placed on ORCA help Hellegren track the Bates, Neri and Mera and to nearly succeed in capturing the girls. It was an incident that allowed the new commander's son Mick Byrne, Captain Phillips and a handful of the new kids on ORCA to learn of Neri and Mera. Fortunately the others agree to help keep the secret of the girls. Phillips keeps the discovery of the titanium secret after seeing Neri rescue Brett from drowning, bringing him back from death with her Gift. UBRI has ORCA under constant watch and has them surrounded keeping the girls trapped on the station. Winston goes back to the island and encounters people from the Planet of the Oceans sent on a rescue mission to recover the girls. Neri and Mera are told that their mother, a leader on their home planet, has recently passed and someone with The Gift is needed on their home planet to help restore order before everything falls into complete chaos. The girls choose to go with their people. Neri and Mera help Dianna, Jason, and Brett to hear Charley and see through his eyes. The friends that know of Neri follow a plan of Jason's to help them to escape to the island where the spaceship is waiting. Tearful goodbyes are said. With Jason Neri shares a kiss, then she says farewell to Brett. In the last moments of takeoff Neri decides to stay on Earth and Mera still chooses to return to the Ocean Planet.

Synchronium Mission

The control of ORCA switches to the hands of Commander Wellington and most of everyone who knows of Neri are transferred to other stations with their parents, a common occurrence to the people of the ORCA community. UBRI gains a section of the station to stage their work on building the expansion known as ORCA City. Among the new kids on-board ORCA are: Benny, an intellectual boy and son of the new doctor on board, Cassandra Clayborn, an American girl capable of giving Brett a run for his money in the pranks department whose sister, Morgan Clayborn is in charge of helping teach the cadets, and Sallyanne Taylor, a girl who joins the cadets the same time Jason does and forms a crush on him. Cassandra, known more often as Cass, takes a boat out and gets caught up in a tropical storm and takes shelter on Neri's island. She discovers Neri but runs in fear after Brett's stories of cannibals and is hit on the head by the mast of her sail as she tries to flee. The accident leaves her with a concussion and amnesia unable to remember anything about Neri or the island.

Meanwhile the storm that marooned Cass also blew over a tree revealing a hatch into the spaceship. The ship has flooded but the boys bring a pump to drain it. After the ship has been drained they explore the ship. On the ship they find someone in a stasis chamber, asleep but learning of Earth, or Opal Planet as the Ocean People call it. His name is Kal and he remembers Neri when she was a little girl. Kal lives on Neri's island as she decided due to the fact that his parents died as a result of the spaceship crashing. Neri learns more of her father's mission from a message left by Kal's mother on the spaceship. Her father was to locate and recover pieces of a device called Synchronium. The device had been sent to Earth in nine pieces and was designed to be put together and used to restore the oceans to proper wellness. Synchronium in the wrong hands can bring much danger and so bad things. Neri takes up her father's mission of recovering and operating the Synchronium.

Meanwhile UBRI continue to use dynamite blasting to build the foundation of ORCA City causing great harm to the reef and to the seabed where a hidden fault-line opens up. The fault causes tremors and eventually full-blown earthquakes to happen right near ORCA. The mission of the Synchronium becomes imperative. Unfortunately UBRI has also discovered the device and are determined to find all the pieces as well. Hellegren and his assistant Kellar make the mission very difficult. Hellegren's own daughter, Lena learns of what her father has done in the past and helps obtain knowledge for the Bates and Neri. Kal is adept at working out the crash sites. While Benny and Cass, after remembering Neri, were also brought into the fold and help with the mission.

UBRI kidnap Kal after a rift grew between him and the others when Kal's emotions get the better of him, specifically his jealousy of Jason over his closeness with Neri. Hellegren fools Kal into thinking he is Kal's friend and teaches him to use deception to help him get the pieces of Synchronium. Mera warns Neri that there is trouble and that she is running out of time in Neri's dreams. With the mission still not finished Mera comes to earth to help with the mission. In the end Kal steals all the pieces of Synchronium and hands them over to Hellegren only to learn he was never a real friend. By this time the situation with the fault has grown dire, causing evacuations and tsunamis. Hellegren brings the Synchronium device out to sea to activate it to control the seas. Neri and Mera are in the water when he activates it and, in an effort to stop him, Lena jumps in with them. Hellegren tries to stop the device from touching the water to prevent his daughter from being killed but Kellar fights him. Kal jumps up and grabs the Synchronium to return it to Neri and Mera, injuring himself to do so. Neri and Mera bring the device back to the island and activate it by calling to Charley. The Synchronium restores the oceans back to the way they should be, repairing the damage done by UBRI and closing up the fault-line. Mera returns to the Ocean Planet.

The Pyramids

After an encounter with a strange light while deep sea diving Jason and Brett take shelter on Neri's island in the new hut Jason built for her. Back at ORCA Winston's equipment picks up a strange phenomenon blocking his scans out in the Mako Abyss. After seeing the light for herself when swimming near Winston and Jason's sonar sweep Neri becomes intrigued. Neri goes out to explore the phenomenon with Jason and Winston behind her in the Mini-Fin. What they discover is an underwater pyramid. The light is a defensive program to keep outsiders away, Neri's presence keeps it at bay. The group has to keep the underwater pyramid a secret, not an easy task with Louis Danton and his father, First Officer Danton, growing suspicious and looking into things.

Fueled by her curiousity about the pyramid and an image of a woman while doing research Neri insists on going back to the pyramid. Jason and Brett go with her and Neri finds a place to open and they go inside. They find a statue of the woman Neri recognized. Neri touches it and activates the pyramid and a hologram giving Neri a chance to accept a quest, she accepts. A light points them to a portal that causes them to be transported to Egypt to another pyramid, the Pyramid of Mystery. While in Egypt Neri, Jason and Brett meet a man named Malakat and a girl with him named Shersheba. They also encounter two agents from an organization called PRAXIS that try to capture Neri. An encounter that forces Dianne to tell her ex-husband, Paul Bates, the truth about Neri. Neri, Jason and Brett make it back inside the pyramid and she recovers a golden ankh. They take the portal gate again to escape from Malakat and PRAXIS and end up in a cave in the middle of the outback. Only Neri can use the portal as she is The Chosen One. Neri entrusts the Golden Ankh to Jakamarra for safekeeping just as Paul Bates rescues the three friends in a helicopter.

PRAXIS move onto ORCA in order to uncover the truth and to find Neri. While ORCA deals with PRAXIS Neri returns to the pyramid alone for guidance and learns she is the daughter of the woman who made the holographic messages, Shalamorn. PRAXIS, desperate to get Neri go as far as to bug Jason's watch and track the kids to Paul's farm where they were hiding. They kidnap Neri but Charley helps her escape. Neri, Jason and Brett return to the underwater pyramid and watch another holographic message from Shalamorn and learn that she is Queen Shalamorn of the Ocean People and Neri, as her firstborn daughter is a princess. Shalamorn tells her daughter about the planned peaceful migration of her people to the Opal Planet and that the Pyramids were built 5000 years ago for the time they would be needed. She mentions the Synchronium and Neri's father's mission. She tells Neri that she is the Chosen One.

Shersheba arrives at ORCA in order to glean information and get closer to finding the underwater pyramid. She stages her own drowning while out with Jason to draw Neri in. When Malakat arrives on the boat and Shersheba is revealed to be fine Neri and Jason realize that Malakat and Shersheba are from the Ocean Planet. Neri and Jason return to the pyramid to gain more information about Neri's quest. They learn about a powerful minority on Ocean Planet that held a dangerous differing view to the planned peaceful migration. This group is the one led by Malakat and Princess Shersheba. Neri's mother tells her that the rebel faction would rather weaken the Earth people using the pyramid. Malakat and Shersheba interrupt Shalamorn's message and admit to their plan to melt the polar ice-caps. They demand the ankh from Neri. Neri makes a stand against them as Princess. Malakat admits to causing the crash of the ship that brought Neri, Mera, her father and others to Earth. Jason protects Neri from a hit from Shersheba's wrist blaster, blocking the shot with his own body. Neri pretends to give in to the demands and instead activates the portal again where she and Jason escape to the cave.

Neri collects the Golden Ankh from Jakamarra. Jakamarra tells Neri and Jason the history of the Whale Woman which explains why he trusts Neri. Jakamarra helps Neri and Jason run from PRAXIS, Malakat and Shersheba. As the agents close in on the group agent Elly Hauser slips while climbing the cliff Neri, Jason and Jakamarra had just climbed. Neri turns back and helps her. Agent Jake Shelby closes in and captures Neri. Shersheba grabs the ankh, Paul arrives in the helicopter, Jakamarra uses Jason's accusation to PRAXIS that Malakat and Shersheba are aliens too to grab the ankh and throw it to Jason. Neri begs Jason to take the Golden Ankh and go with Paul and leave her behind. In the hands of PRAXIS Neri refuses to speak or cooperate. She grows weaker without enough water and no sunlight in the underground floor they keep her on. Elly tries to help her but is stopped by her boss Richter. Between Richter, Shelby and the doctor they employ to run tests on her Neri falls into very bad shape. By the time the Bates manage to launch a rescue for Neri, after having to contend with Malakat and Shersheba who got their hands on the real Ankh and attempted to use it, Neri is near death. They bring her back to ORCA and Jason never leaves her side. Too ill to recover Neri passes while Jason is holding her hand at her bedside. As the family and friends grieve Neri's death it falls to Jason and Brett to decide what to do with Neri's body. Jason makes the decision to bring her back to the pyramid, to her mother Shalamorn. As the boys say their goodbyes Jason admits that he loves Neri, "always." Malakat and Shersheba return with a properly prepared ankh and plug it in to the pyramid's control console activating the pyramids full powers. A sacred stone rises to take the hand-print of the one activating the pyramid. Just before Shersheba can place her hand upon it Jason places Neri's on it. Neri is engulfed in a bright light and she is brought back to life and full health. In Shersheba's wrath she destroys the ankh and Neri and the boys escape as the pyramid disappears under the ocean floor.

Neri feels something is wrong with the Ocean Planet and Mera but she does not know what. More of Malakat's people arrive on Earth and attempt to apprehend Neri. Mera escapes Malakat's followers on Ocean Planet and returns to Earth with a new Golden Ankh and tells Neri of the Red Virus destroying the oceans of their home planet and that Malakat plans to enslave the humans. With the underwater pyramid having returned the battle for the ankh starts all over again. With so much alien activity in the skies PRAXIS comes back to ORCA learning about the pyramid and Malakat's people. It brings the situation to the brink of war. In a meeting to discuss turning over the ankh Malakat tells Neri that he had a hand in Queen Shalamorn's ship exploding. Shersheba kidnaps Mera as a bargaining chip to get Neri to hand over the ankh. Shersheba, at odds with Malakat, releases the Red Virus that Malakat created into the ocean near Charley. Charley grows ill and, not hearing him anymore, Neri believes he has died. Mera uses the heart of the pyramid to contact Neri.

Faced with the prospect of the destruction of both worlds Neri plans to take the ankh to the pyramid and negotiates to have Malakat and his people leave it. PRAXIS have their nuclear torpedoes armed to destroy the pyramid. Malakat uses deception and retakes the pyramid. Neri, Jason and Mera escape and Malakat and Shersheba activate the full powers of the pyramid. Charley returns having recovering from the virus. The ice-caps begin to melt and Neri can feel that Malakat is using the pyramid for bad. Jason stays on the island with Neri and Mera and Mera calls Jason out on his feelings for Neri. The cures for the virus the pyramid makes don't work. The key to stopping the virus is Charley but Malakat's people have taken over ORCA. Cass and Brett do the blood test to create the cure. Shersheba steals the cure but then turns on Malakat and takes the cure to the Planet of the Oceans. Believing there is no other way to stop Malakat from using the Pyramid of Power to destroy Earth Neri plans to use the pyramids self destruct mechanism. Jason will not let her go alone and together they use the portal in the Cave of Light to get to the pyramid. They arrive as Malakat uses the pyramid to attack ORCA. Neri and Jason are pressing down the self destruct mechanism when Queen Shalamorn, Mera, Shersheba and the royal guard arrive. Queen Shalamorn stops Neri and Jason in time and orders the pyramid to cease following Malakat's orders. Shalamorn had been held in stasis by Malakat on the Ocean Planet. With order restored Neri is coronated as First Born Princess of the Royal House and Heir Apparent to the Throne of the Ancient Ones. Queen Shalamorn makes the decision to have Neri stay on Earth as a representative of the Ocean People to help form a peaceful relationship between the two worlds. Happy that she is staying Jason shows his feeling of joy with Neri by kissing her.
