Not who you're looking for? Others named protagonist: main character of a creative work · Persona 3 video game character · 2007 film by Jessica Yu
The player-named protagonist is a character from the 2010 video game Nier, a spin-off of the Drakengard series developed by Cavia and published by Square Enix. Although the character has no specific name in gaming, he is called Nier in related media and merchandise. During Nier, the protagonist goes on a quest to help Yonah, a young girl who falls ill with the terminal Black Scrawl illness, and then to rescue her from a being called the Shadowlord in a post-apocalyptic world beset by creatures called Shades. Due to publisher feedback, two versions of the protagonist exist: a brother looking after his sister, originally exclusive to Japan, and a father caring for his daughter, designed for the West.
