Nene Kusanagi

Appearance: Nene is a 5'1" (156cm) tall girl with purple eyes and long grayish-green hair, with the front strands tied at the ends with red hair ties. Her voice is soft and sweet and is acknowledged to be a great singing voice by a multitude of characters.

Personality: Nene is shy and has a difficulty talking to others, however, she speaks very bluntly around those she is comfortable with. Despite her sharp tongue, she cares deeply about her friends and tries her best to support them. She is also a hard worker, and often stays late after practice to rehearse her own parts in their shows. Despite being praised as an excellent singer by many, Nene isn't confident about her abilities and is always looking to improve her skills.

Outfits: Her casual outfit consists of a pale yellowish green shirt with long sleeves under a long dark gray suspender skirt with lines of pale yellowish green, and a long necklace with a gold ornament on the end.

During a show, she wears an outfit that consists of a sleeveless top with a pink bow and smiley-face buttons down the front over a frilly yellow-green skirt. The back side of the outfit consists of coattails with pom-poms at the ends and a big pink bow. She also wears a hairband with a butterfly-like decoration and knee-high leg warmers. The legwarmers and edges of her top have white fuzz. Her hair elastics are now a light pink. Mizuki Akiyama designed her show outfit to match her robot replica.

In school she wears the female school uniform that consists of a white collared undershirt, a dark blue pleated-and-plaided skirt, a navy blue blazer with white lining and gold buttons, and black tights.

Backstory: Nene and Rui are next-door neighbors and childhood friends. They used to perform shows together when they were children. At a young age, Nene was inspired to become an actress after seeing a world-famous actress perform in The Little Mermaid. To this day, she would like to take on acting as a career.

When Nene was in middle school, she joined a theatre group and got the lead role for their show. She practiced eagerly, not wanting to disappoint the other members. Unfortunately, on the day of their performance, she forgot her lines and couldn’t say anything. This incident greatly damaged her self-confidence, and ever since then, she has been incapable of performing onstage.

Nene joins the troupe at Rui’s request. She is a great singer; however, she initially does not appear onstage. Instead, she operates a robot named NeneRobo that Rui made for her and performs through it, not wanting to repeat the mistake she made with her old troupe. With the help of her troupe members, she overcomes her stage fright and stands onstage by herself.
