Character: Nana
Series: Elfen Lied
Character Age: 12-14 in appearance, 6 in age
Canon: A virus has struck the world that causes women to give birth to horned girls. These girls belong to a mutant subspecies of human called the diclonius, whose notable qualities include homicidal tendencies toward everyone, and additional invisible arms called 'vectors' that sprout from the back on command. These are selectively tangible, telekinetically controlled, and easily capable of slicing through solid objects. Naturally, scientists hunt them down and either kill or confine them in research facilities. When the diclonius queen Lucy escapes, researchers send Test Subject Number Seven after her in a search and retrieve operation.
Number Seven, Nana, is one of the girls kept alive for the sake of research. She is also the only known non-homicidal diclonius. A good-natured little girl, Nana refuses to kill humans. Her kindly demeanor is due to being raised with a loving parental figure, the chief of research Dr. Kurama. Despite all the horrific experiments she's suffered through, Nana has always persevered thanks to Dr. Kurama's words of encouragement. She believes he is her real father and would to do anything to please him. She even tries to stay brave when she gets her limbs ripped off and later replaced by special prosthetics. Life in the research facility with no formal education has made Nana sheltered and ignorant. She burns bank notes before learning what they're for, has no idea what phones are, and is still learning the names of animals. She never bothers to hide her horns and sometimes forgets to keep her vector arms a secret, only to realize afterward and subsequently feel like a failure. Her naivete can land her in trouble, and her empathy for others makes it hard for Nana to fight vigorously like other diclonii. But underneath that gullible and childish exterior is a lonely little girl who wants nothing more than to have somewhere to belong.
Sample Post:
I can't believe someone took my arm. Forgive me, Papa. Nana will do her best to find it! It has to be around here somewhere. Papa, did you know this place had arm stealers when you said it was a safe place to live? No, of course you didn't! You don't want Nana to lose the arms you gave her, do you? I'll always take good care of them. That means I'll have to watch out for more arm stealers. A-and what if there are leg stealers too?!
Eh...? What are those creatures? They're like fat, hairy people. Oh, and they're the same color as Papa's tie! Maybe they're friends with Papa and that's why he sent me here.
Um, excuse me, could you help me find my missing arm? You see, I was talking to a bunch of people who... didn't smell too good, like they needed a bath. I doubt they felt good either, the way they kept groaning and bleeding. It was a little scary. A-anyway, I was asking them for directions to the messy hall. Papa said it was a safe building here, but I got lost in the tall plants on the way. I tried getting up higher using my other arms to get a better view- Ah!! Not again, I promised Papa not to tell anyone, so please, forget you heard that. Really, the sick people are more important. They kept moaning and talking about brains-and some pieces of their bodies started falling off! I was so scared, I lost my concentration for a little and my own leg fell off... No, that only happens sometimes. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself just fine.
I don't clearly remember what happened after I ran off. No, I put my leg back on before I started running. Anyway, I think I tripped and blacked out, because I woke up in the field over there and my arm was gone. So... so I thought, maybe those people took my arm while I was asleep. Why would they do that? Nana's a good girl who didn't do anything to them. Though, maybe they were jealous? I know how it feels to have arms and legs that don't work very well, and it must have hurt when their limbs fell off, but. But... they shouldn't take things without asking! Those are special arms and legs Papa got for me! I can't afford to lose them! So please, tell me if you've seen an arm stealer running around with an arm like mine.
Oh, you did see it? And it's over by that pointy building? Oh, thank you so much! See you later, I'm off!
Hooray! Oh Papa, be proud of me! Thanks to one of your friends I've already found my missing arm. Now to go retrieve it. Just a little further this way and I'm there-
A different arm stealer has it?! Hey, you're getting it dirty! A-and what kind of an arm stealer has that many arms in the first place? That's just greedy!
