Patema

"I think I understand how your father must have felt. The sku... It really is beautiful."

- Patema to Age Patema is the titular protagonist of the 2013 anime movie Patema Inverted. She is a teenage girl who lives in an underground village, and the princess of the clan who lives there, her father having been the chief. One day, when exploring the "Danger Zone", she finds herself in a city called Aiga, where her sense of gravity is reversed and her kind are viewed as monsters as a result of propaganda.

She is voiced by Yukiyo Fujii in the Japanese version and Cassandra Lee in the English version, the latter of whom also voices Taiga Aisaka and Fie Claussell.

Appearance
Patema is a young girl with short green-blue gray hair, and a small braid on the left side. Her eyes are a dark magenta with a fair complexion. She has a oval face and her usual outfit is a special gray hazmat suit with a gas mask, though she often doesn't wear it. Underneath the suit is a white long shirt and orange shorts. She has a necklace that holds a blue gem in the centre.

As a child she did not have the braid in her hair, but she had same hair cut and style. She also wore a tan pink baggy sweatshirt with a pink bow.

Personality
Patema is a very carefree and adventurous young girl; she enjoys exploring the "Danger Zone" despite it being against the rules of her village and can't see what the big deal is when the Elder finds out. Despite their disagreements, she is often regarded by the Elder as someone who should be setting an example. Her adventurous personality comes from her old friend Lagos, and it was from from him she acquired the desire to see new worlds. However, while she is usually brave, Patema is far from fearless and is shown to be scared by many things, the least of which are the Bat Men and initially, Age, due to him being one of the bad people she had always heard about.

Due to her young age, Patema can be rather bratty at times; when Age asks if she's a princess, she confirms as much and tells him not to forget it. However, more often than not, she is a very kind girl who cares deeply for others as seen when she is quite happy when they find a stockpile of food and supplies for the village, something they were running low on. She is also very empathetic, as she grows to sympathise with Age very quickly, since she agrees with his father about how beautiful the sky is. This kind personality makes her well-liked by everyone in her village, who are all delighted when she finally returns.
