'''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.
