==Summary==
Neptune (ネプテューヌ, Neputūnu), also known as Purple Heart (パープルハート, Pāpuru Hāto), is the Guardian Goddess of Planeptune, a nation residing on the continent of Gamindustri, and is the main character and primary protagonist of the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise.
At the beginning of Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Neptune is shown to be fighting against an enemy known as CFW Magic after Gamindustri was put under the threat of the Deity of Sin, whom CFW Magic, along with the entirety of ASIC, or the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime, are devoted to reviving. After being defeated by CFW Magic, she, along with the other Goddesses and her younger sister, Nepgear, were captured and remained trapped within the Gamindustri Graveyard for three years. Eventually, the Goddesses would be rescued with the help of the Goddess Candidates and the Makers, and would later go on to help Nepgear defeat the Deity of Sin and return peace to GamindustriHyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 (2014).
As the Goddess of Planeptune, Neptune holds the responsibility of protecting the nation, and in return, she earns their faith, which is then converted into Share Energy, making her stronger. However, she is rather lazy, and as such, doesn't get a lot of work done, often relying on her sister in order to get things done. Though, there are times where she will pull her weight and work quite a lot.
Neptune has a very optimistic personality, and is mostly shown to have a smile on her face all the way through her adventures. She has been able to make it through the "CPU (Goddess) Shift Period"Megadimension Neptunia VII (2015), all of her dimension hopping, and any other sorts of dangerous journeys and endeavors, all the while retaining that happiness and smile. She has the ability to lighten up the most serious airs, breaking any sort of tension and turning it into a lighthearted moment, and most people find it hard to dislike her. She also tends to break the fourth wall by making many game references, constantly speaking about how she's the main character or the self-proclaimed "Protagonist of Protagonists", or simple meta jokes. However, she also is shown to be generally very determined and brave, such as not backing down from Dark Purple during their first encounter, as well as staying behind to battle against Arfoire to buy the other three Goddesses some time. She is a very kind and, in more rare cases, emotional girl, such as when she tears up at the disappearance of Uzume. She also shows great care for everyone around her, most notably her younger sister Nepgear.
As a Goddess, Neptune can undergo a phenomenon known as Hard Drive Divinity and transform into her HDD Form, or Goddess Form, Purple Heart. As Purple Heart, not only is her strength boosted dramatically, but her personality changes just as much. Whilst she's still a bit of an airhead, it doesn't show as often as she's more serious and less ditzy, making her look more mature and confident in this form. Even further than that, Purple Heart can use the Hyper Share Crystal to transform into an even greater state, the Next Form. As Next Purple (ネクストパープル, Nekusuto Pāpuru), she becomes a lot calmer and acts largely the same as her prior form, though with the calmness on top. The Next Form is currently Neptune's most powerful form, and is rarely ever seen.
Neptune is the personification of a cancelled SEGA console, known aptly as the "SEGA Neptune". Her HDD and Next Forms are representations of fictitious SEGA consoles.

Intelligence:
Gifted normally (While seemingly ditzy at first, Neptune has shown to have dabbled in more complex and intellectual fields, making her much smarter than she actually looks. Despite not having any proof, she noticed Uzume was extremely fixated on being "cool", allowing her to convince Uzume to take a shower with her. She is stated to have designed one of IF's weapons, "Dual Sword Neptune". She has concocted her own beverage, "Dr. Nepper", which actually ended up healing Histoire's stomach ache. She is also the proposerRe;Birth 2 - Chapter 1 and creator of the "Nep Bull", a beverage that is also a medicinal drug as it can be used to heal others in battle. She seemingly created the different variants of Nep Bull as well, which are even stronger beverages and healing items than the original Nep Bull. She is also seemingly adept in mathematics, as she calculated the exact amount of minutes and seconds that are in 3 days in a few seconds, and recited 29 digits of pi off the top of her headRe;Birth 3 - Chapter 4, only getting one digit wrong, and she likely would have kept going if not interrupted by Blanc)
Combat Savant (Neptune is highly proficient in swordfighting and katana-wielding, as it is her main form of combat, which she has been engaging in for over a few decades — at least twenty years — of her life. She is adept in her own style of battle, with the majority of her techniques being self-developed. This includes her large list of SP Attacks, her D-Drive attack family, and her Nep Battle Dance attacks. Neptune has been shown to learn and create new techniques in rapid succession, being able to efficiently use those new techniques in battle shortly after this, and in some cases, improve upon them later. She has also incorporated martial arts - akin to taijutsu - into a few of her techniques, creating a mix between her regular swordfighting style and martial arts. Additionally, it's been demonstrated in the Coupling Skill "Nep-Nep Combination" that Neptune is capable of switching from her one-sword fighting style to dual-wielding on the fly. She can compete with Hyper Dimension Falcom and MarvelousAQL, the former of whom fights using her own self-taught swordfighting style, with Nepgear requesting Falcom help tutor her a bit in the process, and the latter has trained for a few years at a ninja academy, with even an alternate dimension version of Neptune (i.e. Super Dimension Neptune) being amazed with her combat prowess; Super Dimension Neptune had engaged in a war with the other three Goddesses for hundreds of years on end, being able to hold her own against all three of them at once for a short period of timeHyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1Re;Birth 1 - Prologue, and could even defeat Arfoire despite having amnesia and only recently resuming battle with nothing but a wooden sword found in a dumpsterRe;Birth 1 - Chapter 1.
Whilst Neptune was corrupted, she was able to fight against the party of VII alongside the other corrupted Goddesses up to that point, which was comprised of 12 members. Most of the party consists of skilled fighters who have shown to be able to outclass or match each other in combat, such as K-Sha (a dexterous and competent military combatant who has been trained to be an expert soldier by the Order ever since she was a childVII - Hyper Dimension Neptunia G: The Golden Leaders, Reconstructors of Gamindustri - Noire's Story), Nepgear (who has shown to be similarly proficient in combat as Neptune, being able to defeat other Goddesses such as Uni and Rom and Ram, as well as defeat CFW Magic twice over, whom could easily defeat the four Guardian Goddesses as well as an entire party (which consists of characters such as the aforementioned MarvelousAQL and Hyper Dimension Falcom) with little to no effort), C-Sha (a true martial artist who was able to take on Blanc and eventually win, as well as Rom and Ram, fighting the latter two at the same time), the Ultra Dimension Neptune (a proficient swordfighter who was capable of battling against both Nepgear and Vert without putting in too much effort, being there simply to stall the twoVII - Hyper Dimension Neptunia G: The Golden Leaders, Reconstructors of Gamindustri - Vert's Story), Uzume (a naturally talented fighter, demonstrating implicitly comparable dexterity and battle prowess to Neptune, alongside being able to frequently clash with and consistently live against the Dark Goddess and routinely fending off the monsters of Zero Dimension for several years, being Zero Dimension's only proper fighter, with a concept established as early as mk2 that fighting with raw power alone is an unviable fighting strategy in real combatHyperdimension Neptunia mk2 (2011)), and more. It's highly probable that each Goddess fought more than one character at a time. She is likely to be more experienced and skilled than her younger sister as a result of being older and more accustomed to battle.
In Sisters VS Sisters, she has shown the capability to defeat the "Mecha Doll", "Mecha Peacekeeper", and "Battle Goddess" enemies, where they are mentioned to have the battle data of a Goddess installed in themSisters VS Sisters - Enemy Library, Mecha Doll (PN-NP), have both the battle data and greater mobility through their wingsSisters VS Sisters - Enemy Library, Mecha Peacekeeper (PN-NP), or are stated to have both the battle data and is "the ultimate autonomous soldier which passed all tests with flying colors"Sisters VS Sisters - Enemy Library, Battle Goddess (PN-NP). Additionally, these Mecha enemies have even shown the same exact fighting style as the Goddess they imitate due to sharing the same motions of attacks as the Goddesses they imitate. This would include the likes of herself, Noire, Blanc, and all of the other Goddesses given there are multiple Mecha Doll, Peacekeeper, and Goddess entities; one such example is the "Mecha Doll PN-NG" enemy, with the "PN-NG" standing for "Planeptune-Nepgear", meaning that the specified Mecha Doll has the battle data and combat style of Nepgear. Neptune has demonstrated the ability to defeat multiple of these Mecha enemies at once on their own, such as in the Arena, where several fights contain these enemies in batches or lonesome, up to a maximum of 6 enemies, with one such fight containing two Battle Goddesses, which would realistically show more combat proficiency and skill than the standard Mecha Dolls and Mecha Peacekeepers as a result of them "[passing] all tests with flying colors"Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters (2022))
Weaknesses: Neptune doesn't normally think things through and sometimes just jumps into action without much of a plan backing her. She is often very lazy. Eggplants are so repulsive to her that she said fighting animated groups of eggplants was more draining to her mentally rather than physically. Her Share Energy is able to be cancelled out with large amounts of Negative Energy.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Techniques=
*Hard Drive Divinity (HDD): Utilizing a sufficient level of power gained from the faith of her people, Neptune can transform into Purple Heart in order to enjoy higher overall stats.
*Next Form: Whilst already in Hard Drive Divinity, and utilizing the power of the Hyper Share Crystal, Neptune can transform into an "evolved" version of their HDD form. It has been stated that no other HDD form in existence has come even close to this level of power.
*Sharing Field: Neptune uses Share Energy to create a temporary pocket dimension which is able to contain and weaken the powers of whoever is trapped inside it.
