Namanie was someone she knew well I think, and while very eccentric, that's not a bother when everyone in the series is eccentric. Also, Namanie being a very simple person to understand was a big part of the final battle. She's as empty as it gets.

Sort of. Something about her that can be used to stand for a larger category. For example, let's say she's a member of the Pentagon. Therefore, she's the Pentagon. By metonymy, she can become any other member of the Pentagon.

It's actually really simple for you to turn her into someone else since by definition your team is connected. Gotta find a word or phrase that you can use that would mean this that she can identify herself as.

The hard part is showing that she can easily communicate with the others.

Ah okay, so the fact that she could turn into them wasn't the issue. I understand now.
