Neytiri

Neytiri is a fictional alien character and one of the main characters from the 2009 feature film Avatar by director James Cameron. She was played by actress Zoë Saldana.

Overview
Neytiri was a member of a blue-skinned alien race from the planet Pandora known as the Na'vi. She was one of the first to have an in-depth relationship with a human, whose name was Jake Sully. As humans were particularly vulnerable on Pandora, nearly all of Jake's interaction with Neytiri was in a Na'vi avatar body.
