Shinku
2
Shinku from the open-world supernatural RPG Neverness to Everness (NTE).
• She serves as a front-line operative in the Bureau of Anomaly Control's Containment Strike Unit 2 (CSU-2) alongside her coworkers Mint and Iroi.
• Known as a "dragon girl" due to her prominent crimson-and-black horns, she attended the school of Terrasea as a child. Before transferring to Hethereau, she endured a difficult past involving painful horn growth, depression, and prior service as a member of ETD-9.
• Nicknames. Her teammates frequently use affectionate nicknames for her, such as "Pitaya" or "Taya" (used by Mint) and "Clawzilla" (used by Iroi).
• Day-to-day, Shinku is blunt, speaks her mind without sugarcoating, and comes across as cold or intimidating because she lacks natural social polish.
• On missions, she acts as a fierce shield for her squad, willingly charging alone into hazardous anomaly zones because she unconditionally trusts her teammates to watch her back.
• Beneath her tough exterior, she harbors deep insecurity regarding her volatile Cosmos Esper ability. She fears losing control of her rampaging dragon form and accidentally hurting the people she cares about.
• During the Version 1.2 storyline 999 Nights, Shinku joins Mint, Iroi, and Esper Zero in an immersive game world where she is mistakenly assigned the weak "Villager" class.
• Overcoming Fear. While confronting a nightmare at Amber Syrup Lake and learning about a past heroine corrupted by dragon armor, Shinku opens up about her fear of her own powers. With encouragement from her friends, she dons the dragon armor to defeat the Crimson Dragon, relying on her allies to pull her back from losing control and finally learning to trust herself.
