Carly Carmine, known as Carly Nagisa in the Japanese version, was an unsuccessful, clumsy reporter, who tended to get pushed around by others. (In the dub, Carly was actually an unpaid intern for a newspaper who posted stories about Street Duels on her blog.) She also claimed that she was the number #1 Jack Atlas fan. She tried to report real stories for the newspaper, but at first never succeeded. Despite witnessing all the events concerning the Dark Signers, learning many secrets about New Domino City and Satellite and spending time with Jack Atlas, her memories were erased, and thus, she could not write a story. Carly later became the Dark Signer with the hummingbird Dark Mark, and attempted to kill Jack Atlas as he was a Signer. She failed, but was returned to normal after the defeat of the Dark Signers. Carly is average height with grey eyes. She has trifocal glasses and black hair that points down in an arrow. Her outfit consists of a blue and white striped shirt which is covered by a orange vest, that is similar to Mokuba's, except that her colors are blue and white while Mokuba's were blue and light green. She also wears a bag that hung over her shoulder, blue knee length pants with a belt, and orange sneakers. On formal occasions she wears a spaghetti strap light blue dress. As a Dark Signer, her eyes were light blue. She wore an outfit which consisted of a black robe of the Dark Signers that was accented with orange stripes to match her corresponding "Earthbound Immortal", leaving out a midriff, black fingerless gloves, a black mini-skirt along with a long cape which she unusually wore on her waist line and black boots. Though initially a klutz, she had shown a caring side, and as a young girl enjoyed watching people succeed, which lead her to becoming a reporter, as she wanted people's achievements to be known. She also showed a selfish side when it came with Jack, and as she only wanted Jack for herself, this ultimately led to her temporary rebirth as a Dark Signer. Carly became quite taken with Jack after helping him escape the hospital and looked at him as a "King". Due to this, she was disliked and somewhat envied by Mina and later Stephanie, due to the amount of time that she spent with Jack. She also developed feelings for him during the time that they spent together, and was willing to follow him wherever he went. As a Dark Signer, she possessed a darker personality compared to her original self. As one, she was arrogant and stubborn, and only cared about herself. Despite this however, it was known that she became a Dark Signer to be with Jack once more, although the possession from her "Earthbound Immortal" only increased these feelings. She also developed a belief in fate, as she believed it to have brought her and Jack together. As a Dark Signer in her Turbo Duel against Jack, she was able to create an illusion-like dream with the Trap Card "Enlightenment".[2] After having her mind taken over by the "Earthbound Immortal", Carly was briefly able to regain control and speak with Jack, telling him to end the Duel. Carly initially only wanted to get close to Jack to get a "scoop" on him after his loss of his title as the "King". Even though her intentions were at first professional, she developed a caring bond with Jack which blossomed into a friendship, and even as a Dark Signer, would sacrifice her own life just to help him. After the Fortune Cup, she helped him when he was down. When Jack left because he found out that this was just for a news story, or "scoop" as Carly called it, she seemed crushed, and did everything she could to try to maintain contact with him. She later became a Dark Signer due to her strong feelings for Jack attracting an Earthbound Immortal; warping her love, into making Carly desire to share her Immortal's power with Jack to make him a Dark Signer and king of the hellish world that their victory would bring When Jack Dueled her, he still had faith that her old self was still there, and was able to break through to her. After she was possessed by her "Earthbound Immortal", he said that if she was going down, he was going down with her. When she lost, as Jack was embracing her as she died, she confessed that she loved him (this was cut from the dub). When Jack, Crow, and Yusei were Dueling Goodwin, he said that one individual who had helped him when he was down (and on saying the words "was one woman's love!", Carly's image was visible). She, along with Stephanie and Mina, were there to cheer him on and help him when he lost in the World Racing Grand Prix. After the events of the Divine Temple, she tried to disguise herself as a present so she could travel with Jack. After he said no, she was shocked that Jack was leaving without her. Carly was disliked and envied by Mina, Jack's personal assistant. Carly seemed to not like Mina either, stemming from their mutual love of Jack, and seemingly formed a rivalry between the two. However, they were willing to cooperate with each other in some situations, mostly during the World Racing Grand Prix, where she, Mina, and Stephanie formed a cheer trio for Jack. At the end of the series, they became friends, though were still prone to humorous bickering. Carly originally used a "Fortune Fairy" Deck which focuses around swarm tactics through cards such as "Luck Loan" and "Unacceptable Result". As the monsters all have low ATK, Carly uses "Miracle Stone" to power them up. Carly mainly uses this Deck to determine her luck or future for the day through the flavor text on her "Fortune Fairy" monsters[1][4][5]. Upon her death, Carly's "Fortune Fairy" monsters turned into "Fortune Lady" cards.
