Naamah is a demon in the series.
History[]
Na'amah is an ancient demon who was a companion to Lilith. She takes various forms including an angel, a spirit and a primordial goddess. She is a demon who seduced man and strangled babies in their sleep. She rules the ecstatic point where sex, spiritual ecstasy and music intersect.
She was the wife or lover at times of some of the most formidable angels, demons and biblical heroes, including Adam, Azazel, Samael, Shemyaza, Solomon and Noah (and maybe his son). Her children include the nephilim, shedim and ashmodai.

Profile[]
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance[]
"One of the four female demons in the Zohar, a spiritual text of Jewish mystical thought. Her name means "pleasure" in Hebrew.
She is the most carnal of the four demons, and specializes in seduction. She is said to have intercourse with human men in their dreams and to give birth to numerous evil spirits, almost solely driven by her own desires. Her beauty bewitches even angels, and she birthed the demon king Asmodeus with an angel named Shomron. It is believed she was originally a human female, sister of Tubal-cain (a descendant of the Old Testament's Cain), and only later was she interpreted as a demon."
Naamah is a member of the Qadištu, and as such appears only in the Canon of Vengeance.
Naamah first appeared to the protagonist and Yoko Hiromine after dispatching an Angel that was near the ruined city of Kamiyacho in Da'at: Minato, transporting them into an alternate dimension filled with bones and blood that's later named the Serpent's Grave, then attacks them, intending to offer them as a sacrifice to the Great Mother. After being repelled by them, Naamah returns them back to Da'at.
Later, Naamah attacks Shinagawa Station alongside the Qadištu's beastly servant, Glasya-Labolas, killing anyone unfortunate enough to be close at hand for their Magatsuhi. It is during this killing spree that they run into the at the time unfused protagonist, who was simply trying to go to school through Shinagawa Station when they attacked, and fought back thanks to the timely appearance of Aogami. In the ensuing fight, the Nahobino repelled Naamah while also killing Glasya-Labolas.
She appears in the later half of the journey through the Shinjuku Arc, first in a building in Kabukicho filled with dead Powers, then to remind Agrat bat Mahlat of the mission after the Nahobino bested her as well.
The Nahobino and party eventually reached the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building that the Qadištu were hiding, but it resulted in the Nahobino being sacrificed in a ritual to revive Tiamat despite the Nahobino bested them in combat, resulting in Aogami's death and the disappearance of Yoko and Tao Isonokami. During this sacrifice, the Qadištu sacrificed themselves to fully revive Tiamat.
Once the protagonist, now fused with Hayao Koshimizu to continue the fight as a Nahobino, returns to the sacrificial site where he last fought the Qadištu, Naamah is unlocked for special fusion, where she is made in a fusion with Glasya-Labolas, Succubus, and Dominion.
