Likes drawing, pancakes, and cheesecake. Ena is an extremely strong-willed person who always speaks her mind. She is harshly critical of her own art, regularly feeling frustrated by setbacks from her lack of talent. Ena is also easily flustered or angered, often being teased and called a "tsundere" by Mizuki. While blunt and sarcastic, she also has a caring softer side she doesn't like to admit to, especially in the case with Mafuyu. Despite her harsh act, Ena is often the first person to lend a hand when a friend is in trouble, as she never hesitates for the people that she cares about. Her strong determination to prove herself as an artist clashes with her low self esteem and her intense craving for praise, stemming from her father's disapproval of her desire to pursue art. She has also admitted to how she hates herself for being unable to draw without recognition. A part of her self-esteem comes from the comments on her selfies and art in 25-ji, Nightcord de.'s music videos. Though still having many qualms about her art, the presence of the music group has helped Ena come to terms with herself and she eventually rejoins the same art class she quit in middle school.

Backstory: Older sister of Shinonome Akito; lives with him. Daughter of a famous professional painter. In middle school she wanted to attend art school, but her father told her she lacked talent and should give up, straining their relationship. Failed to get into a proper art high school and now attends Kamiyama High’s night classes (Class 3-D). Posts her illustrations online under the name Enanan. Kanade discovered her art and invited her to join the underground circle 25-ji, Nightcord de. as their illustrator. Desperately seeks recognition and validation for her art while battling feelings of inadequacy.

Relationships: Yoisaki Kanade: Fellow circle member. While online, Kanade came across her artwork one day and invited her to be their group's illustrator. Ena is grateful that Kanade saw worth in her illustrations and told her that their unit needs Ena's art, how it wouldn't be the same without her. She likes it when Kanade compliments her art, and is gentler towards her than the other unit members.; Asahina Mafuyu: Fellow circle member. Ena tends to be annoyed by Mafuyu's uncertainty, but at the same time appreciates her blunt and genuine opinions, as it helps her grow as an artist. In the unit's main story, Ena and Mafuyu have a rocky relationship as they both have what the other wants; Ena has strong passion and ambition, and is certain of the things she enjoys, while Mafuyu has great musical talent and receives much respect and praise. However, they both realize each other's struggles and end up respecting each other more as time goes on. On one visit to the Empty SEKAI, when Mizuki suggests Ena should just admit she's worried about Mafuyu, she doesn't deny it and simply tells Mizuki to knock it off. In the event, Hope Will Someday Go Beyond the Morning, Ena uses her father's fame as a way to convince Mafuyu's mother to let Mafuyu stay overnight at the Shinonome household despite her annoyance in doing so. Akiyama Mizuki: Fellow circle member. The two get along well and often hang out together as they share many of the same interests. Mizuki also enjoys teasing Ena as she tends to easily get angered or flustered, often poking fun at her for being a "tsundere." The majority of Nightcord's chat are made up of Mizuki's and Ena's banter. When Ena begins to notice Mizuki acting distant one day while the group went out on a mystery tour, she begins to feel worried about Mizuki, realizing that something is wrong. Ena cares strongly about Mizuki and wants to be able to help with whatever is troubling them, planning a picnic in an attempt to get Mizuki to open up. Later in the event, What lies behind. What lies ahead., Ena decides that she will wait as long as she needs for Mizuki to tell their secret, giving Mizuki time to open up their heart for Ena's kindness. When MEIKO asks why Ena is going so far to help Mizuki, Ena replies straightforwardly that Mizuki is her friend, and Ena wants to help them.
