Game Prologue

Nanami Shiranui (不知火 七海 Shiranui Nanami) is the youngest and one of the three protagonists in the game. She is one of the members of the Norn ship.

Appearance[]

Described as doll like in appearance, Nanami has short unkempt light purple hair, purple eyes and a mole underneath her left eye. She is of average height and despite being the youngest of the female members, she is taller than Koharu who is a year older than her.

Her uniform consist of a white sailor top fully sleeved along with grey end collars but unlike Koharu and Mikoto, she has a black tie in the middle instead of a red ribbon. This black tie was Heishi's but he gave it to her since he bought a checkered one. Nanami thinks that the red ribbon didn't suit her so she accepted Heishi's tie. This is paired with a black godet skirt with a white outline near the edges. She also wears black stockings and below-the-knees brown boots.

In Last Era, her civilian attire consists of a lavender shawl with the top potion being white and having dark blue lined detailing, while a white lined/circle pattern appears near the bottom. She also has a dark blue and yellow badge with a periwinkle and purple ribbon on it attached to a gold diamond bead chain with two of the beads being larger and silver in color. She also has a gold pin in the shape of a ship’s steering wheel. Underneath her shawl, she wears a dark purple halter top as well as mauve shorts with black leggings and dark purple shoes. As for her headwear, she wears a white beret with a violet ribbon on it.

Personality[]

On initial glance, Nanami appears emotionless, but she is reserved, polite and naïve. She is a talented kunoichi (female ninja) and possesses excellent physical ability. She has a dark past and seems to hate her own ability, which is to erase other people's memories. Thus, she tries to not get too close with other people, so that she won't get hurt when she has to makes them forget something, or even about her. Her ability makes her relationship dynamics with the three men interesting but complicated.

History[]

Nanami’s family descends from a long line of ninja, dating back to very old times. Although they were descendants of famous ninjas, her family farms for a living. But due to her ability, her family slowly rose back to fame.

From the time she was a young child, she had been erasing others' memories as ordered by her father (including Senri's memories of his older brother, Akito). Although after getting to know them, she started doubting her father's orders. However, she still followed orders and erased Senri's memories while he was talking about how great his brother was.

Abilities[]

  • Erasing memories

Nanami has the power to erase people's memories. When she was younger, she had been ordered to erase other people's memories in the name of erasing pain, sadness and suffering. However, Nanami resents her ability and is afraid of it due to the fact that she erased Senri’s memories of Akito.

  • Exceptional physical ability

As a ninja, Nanami has excellent physical abilities and agility.
