Name: Nemuri Shirogane
Nickname: Mushi (insect/bug), by her twin sister, because of her dislike of bugs//Nemu by everyone else
Age: 8 11
Birthday: February 29th, 2012
Sign: Pisces
Gemstone: Amethyst
Blood Type: A-
Fav. Food: Omurice
Hated Food: candy bugs of any kind, but especially gummy worms, thanks to an unfortunate prank by her twin
School: Knightside Elementary
Hobbies: animal crossing -- Animal Crossing is a safe and fun game where Nemu’s bad luck can’t get to her… aside from the random wasp stings, or tarantula bites, or all those times she accidentally shot down the balloon over the ocean or her flower garden. Other than that, it’s a relaxing game for her to play in her downtime when not doing homework or other activities, and she enjoys working on her village/island in each of the games she’s played. Her museum’s bug collection might be suspiciously very lacking (or rather, completely empty), but really, who's checking, anyway?
crane machines -- Nemu wouldn’t really consider herself good at this, to be honest, but the allure of winning a good prize always wins out over any hesitations, in the end. It’s mostly online crane game apps that she plays, such as Toreba, and it’s mostly her twin that ends up having to win the prizes for her so they don’t spend all their allowance, but there’s just a certain sense of happiness that comes from getting the prizes you win in the mail, isn't there??
Virtues: cautious -- Look before you leap, or in this case, always check your shoes to make sure there aren’t secretly any spiders in them. Primarily due to being a target for her sister’s pranks, but also just out of principle (though mostly due to the pranks), Nemu believes in applying a certain amount of caution before diving into unfamiliar situations or dealing with unfamiliar people. She believes it’s best to take a moment to assess the situation and her surroundings before proceeding forward with plans, just in case they blow up in her face.
(forgivingly) gentle -- Nemu is a gentle person who could never hurt a fly… though she might run away from one. She’s a kind girl who could be said to not have a single mean bone in her body- she can’t even bring herself to be rude to any of her Animal Crossing villagers, no matter if it may be her least favorite villager or not, and hesitates to force them to move. Even when it comes to her own twin sister, who makes a habit of picking on her (and playing pranks), Nemu can’t bring herself to stay mad for very long... though she might send her some weeds over the mail ingame.
Flaws: unfortunately unfortunate -- Try as she might to believe otherwise, Nemu is convinced that there's some higher force out there that's cursed’ her, to sort of speak, perhaps for being a twin born on a leap year. Nothing ever seems to go right for her, in her opinion; she’s clumsy, she’s afraid of bugs… and she's no good at keeping a straight face, either, making her easy to read- which is bad for card games! Nemu doesn’t necessarily consider herself a pessimist, but she certainly is quick to accept her 'cursed' fate.
if at first you don’t succeed, we are all doomed -- While Nemu wouldn’t necessarily consider herself a ‘defeatist’, she does have a bad habit of being pessimistic about things and readily gives up and abandons ship whenever it seems like success isn’t in the cards; she’s also prone to panic when in sticky situations, or at least overreact. Thankfully, with a push in the right direction and a good support group, Nemu can be steered off the path of We’re All Doomed, but it can be awfully annoying to deal with.
