Neytiri te Tskaha Mo'at'ite is one of the main characters of the American epic science fiction film franchise Avatar, created by James Cameron. She is portrayed by Zoe Saldaña.
Neytiri is the ‘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, introducing him to the Na’vi culture and helping him learn how to become part of the forest, 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 was also an unofficial member of the Sully family, with Neytiri being the only member who distrusted him due to his lineage and human nature. However, she eventually comes to reassess Spider, and moves towards accepting him as an official part of her family.
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.
