͜͜𑁯◞⑅ Kusanagi Nene 🎮

Nene and Kamishiro Rui are next-door neighbors and childhood friends. At one point in middle school, her anxieties caused her to forget her lines during a play and she embarrassed herself. This lead to her giving up on shows, feeling humiliated, and at the same time a rift in her and Rui's friendship developed. Years later, Rui was the one who recommended her to join the budding Wonderlands×Showtime troupe with Tenma Tsukasa and Otori Emu, and they repaired their relationship.

She is a great singer and dreamed of singing onstage for a musical. During the events of the main story, she didn't appear on stage; instead, she operated Nenerobo and performed through her. However, after an argument with Tsukasa, she realized that she wanted to perform on stage in person and with everyone else, so she stopped using Nenerobo as frequently and began making appearances on stageNene has purple eyes and long grayish-green hair, with the front strands tied at the ends.

Her unit outfit consists of a white coat with pink, green, and yellow stripes, poofy short sleeves, and large petal-shaped coattails. Layered under it is a skirt consisting of layers of yellow, green, and white fabric. She wears a green collar, long white gloves, and a pom-pom hair clip with wings, as well as fluffy black and white socks and green Mary Jane shoesNene is introverted and tends to keep to herself, often shyly hiding behind Rui or Nenerobo when meeting new people. She used to suffer from stage fright due to a traumatic incident in middle school, but has since mostly gotten over it. Nene is used to making quips and often speaks bluntly when she's talking to people she's comfortable with. While she used to have trouble expressing herself, due to her involvement with Wonderlands×Showtime, she has steadily become more bold and outgoing. She usually plays the "straight man" to the rest of the troupe's antics, often bringing a somewhat-normal perspective to the various shenanigans, though she's grown more accepting of their off-the-walls personalities as time has gone on.

During the main unit story, Nene wanted to get better and stop singing through Nenerobo, but forgot to charge the robot. As a result, Nenerobo shut down and nearly crushed Tsukasa; this mistake caused him to lash out at Nene for ruining the show they were performing that day. She ran away, but returned the next day to retrieve Nenerobo and was found by Tsukasa and Emu. After Tsukasa apologized, Nene rejoined the troupe and resolved to improve and recover from her stage fright.

In On a Holy Night, with This Singing Voice, Nene was demeaned by Seiryuin Sakurako for her lack of skill, telling her and Wonderlands×Showtime to make sure their show doesn't embarrass the park. Nene doubted her ability and her singing became restrained due to her trauma, but she ultimately overcame it due to remembering how much fun it is to sing even if she makes mistakes. She was able to put on a performance that impressed Sakurako. Nene ended enjoying her time while singing for Wonderlands×Showtime's Christmas show and committed to singing in person.

During her second unit focus event, Mesmerized by Mermaids, Nene improved her performance skills and ability to ad-lib while performing in front of her idol Kazamatsuri Yuka during an ambassador show meant to promote tickets. After talking to her when the show ended, Nene decided that she would aim higher and become a globally-known musical actress, but also realized that she might have to leave Wonderlands×Showtime to make that happen.

While Wonderlands×Showtime was stranded on a deserted island in A Desperate Situation!? Island Panic!, Nene worked with the rest of the troupe to develop their teamwork. After a long day of exploring the jungle, they sat at the campfire together and discussed their future dreams, realizing they all will have to split to make them happen. Nene reassured them that while it might be sad, the experiences and memories they've made will remain with them forever.

In The Canary Sings in a Quagmire, a director of the 30th Anniversary show at the Phoenix Stage pointed out a flaw in Nene's singing caused by the fact she learned to sing when she was a child. Nene sought to improve her singing in order to put on a better performance as the Canary. She doubted herself throughout the event and struggled, but ultimately decided to grow with the help of Sakurako and Yuka giving her professional advice until she could break her old habits.
