You could explicity tell that the character hadn't a name then:

Ai remembered when the fire nation attacked. Of course, she hadn't the luxury of having a name back then. Living as a scrawny little street-urchin, there were very few people who cared enough to speak to her, and most did with "you there".

From that point onwards you can either keep calling the character with the name the audience already knows, or use the phisical description ("eg. the kid").

Or you may want to keep the audience in the dark about who that character is.

The kid hadn't a name. Living as a scrawny little street-urchin, she had little use for one.

Just to reveal who was later on.
