Nanachi

About
Nanachi is a Narehate—a survivor of ascension from the sixth level of the Abyss. Madness and/or death are not uncommon results of such an attempt but, due to certain circumstances, Nanachi was able to keep her personality and mental faculties intact, her body, however, was deformed beyond recognition.

Nanachi looks very young but her vast knowledge of the physics and ecology of the Abyss seems to suggest she's lived there for quite a while. She also appears to be an accomplished medic with significant surgical skills and an extensive knowledge of medicinal plants and animals. Ironically, despite her knowledge of the world around them, her cooking is pretty awful.

Appearance
Nanachi's appearance is very rabbit-like, save for a long sturdy tail. Medium tan fur covers her entire body, with light tan being on two spots on her cheeks, the insides of her ears, and on her belly. She has straight white hair in a short bobbed style, with the sides of her bangs being much longer. Her eyes are yellow with the pupils are horizontal ovals. her fingers are rather stubby.

Personality
Most of the time Nanachi is cool and reserved, keeping her distance both emotionally and physically. Her attitude often borders on being sarcastic and even cynical, however behind this mask Nanachi hides a kind and gentle soul capable of deep compassion and selfless devotion.

History
Not much is known about Nanachi's past—she was born in the Far North region of Sereni, lost her family and home at a young age and were taken to the Abyss by treachery, along with many other children. Bondrewd was working on experimenting with ways to negate the curse of the abyss, and using children as his test subjects. While in the abyss, she met Mitty, another child taken by Bondrewd, who she quickly bonded with. Nanachi and Mitty were best friends, until one day when Bondrewd decided to use the two as test subjects because of her strong bond. They were each placed in separate connected capsules, lowered to the 6th layer, and then quickly brought back up. As a result of this experiment, both Nanachi and Mitty became horribly deformed, though Mitty to such an extent that her mind and body were no longer intact, though still alive. Nanachi, in her new Narehate form, continued to work for Bondrewd at Idofront until she escaped with Mitty on her back, unable to bear the horrible experimentation Mitty was subjected to any longer. Nanachi lived with Mitty in the fourth layer for some time, trying everything she could to put Mitty out of her misery, and later joined Reg and Riko in her descent to the bottom.
