The World of Ice & Fire sourcebook stated that Naath is also known as the "Isle of Butterflies" due to the many species of the insect that inhabit the island (this detail has been subtly included in the TV series in the opening credits, the small image appearing next to Nathalie Emmanuel, who portrays Missandei, is a butterfly). The Naathi religion is so utterly devoted to pacifism that they will refuse to engage violence even to defend themselves from direct bodily harm. As a result the Naathi are vegetarians - their main diet consisting of fruit - and their main recreational activity is the making of music. Due to their religious beliefs the Naathi do not harm any living thing, refusing to eat the flesh of animals and abstaining from violence and martial endeavors. The Naathi worship a single deity called the Lord of Harmony, who created the entire universe and everything in it. Naath is located on the same line of longitude as Old Valyria, though much further south and separated by a great distance across the Summer Sea.

Grey Worm points out that his people, the Unsullied, are not peaceful, and they will defend Naath. Grey Worm says he will take her there after the war, but she cautions that the people of Naath are peaceful, and cannot defend themselves. Missandei responds that she would like to see Naath again. He asks if she really wants to grow old in that place, or if there is anywhere else she would still want to see. On the eve of the final battle against the White Walkers at Winterfell, Grey Worm comes to Missandei, and points out that they will always be foreigners in Westeros. Quizzically, Missandei explains that " Marriage" as such does not exist in Naath, so she finds the idea of a "bastard" to be quite an alien concept.
Davos asks if they have similar customs for bastards on Naath island where Missandei is from. Missandei doesn't know what they mean, so they literally explain that Jon's parents weren't married. Jon and Davos explain to her the system of regional surnames used in Westeros for bastard children of the nobility. Some time later, Missandei is talking with Jon and Davos again, and she politely enquires why Jon's surname is "Snow" even though House Stark has ruled the North for centuries, and his father Ned and brother Robb both had the surname "Stark", while he doesn't. He admits that he hasn't been there himself. Missandei reveals that she was born on the Island of Naath, to which Davos replies that he's heard that it's beautiful there, with palm trees and butterflies. Ser Davos meets Missandei and asks her where she's from, since he can't place her accent. Missandei recalls to Grey Worm that she is from an island called Naath, and was taken by the slavers when she was five years old. Missandei's village was attacked and burned by slavers when she was five years old, and she was captured and taken to the slaver-city of Astapor. Naath is a frequent target of slaving raids from Slaver's Bay, a region of Essos on the opposite side of the Summer Sea.
