Ram & Rom

Ram & Rom are major characters in the Neptunia video game series. They are the human forms of the White Sisters, the CPU Candidates for Lowee, and the younger twin sisters of Blanc. While both resemble their older sister, they resemble each other more so. Both girls are introduced in Mk2, where they go with their fellow CPU Candidates to save the CPUs and defeat Arfoire.
Ram is voiced by Kaori Ishihara in the Japanese version and Shelby Lindley in the English version, while Rom is voiced by Yui Ogura in the Japanese version and Carrie Keranen in the English version.
==Personality==
As they are twins, Rom and Ram happen to look alike. But they also have many differences.
Ram is the one most like Blanc in terms of personality. She is usually seen smiling or smirking and likes to touch or 'get playful' with Rom and could be considered the dominant of the two twins. She may also have an attitude or a short fuse. She takes pride in being someone who acts before she thinks, claiming that words are overrated. She sees herself as being stronger than Rom, such as in the one bad ending when she kept a straight face over the ordeal until seeing Rom break down and start crying.
Rom happens to resemble Blanc the most physically. She seems to be very quiet and possibly even shy in comparison, and doesn't say much. Rom sometimes seems upset or nervous by how Ram acts or what she does. But otherwise she lets Ram do as she pleases with her. The twins never leave the house without the other. When Rom cries over her older sister Blanc's kidnapping, Ram reluctantly follows along to help Nepgear and the others.
==Character==
=== Rom ===
Rom is Ram's older twin, and Blanc's younger sister. She is rather shy around others. She meets the party in Lowee after getting Kidnapped by Underling, like her sister. However like (and because of) her sister, she didn't trust Nepgear at first until she helped her find her missing pen. Together, Ram and Rom are the Nintendo DS incarnate.
=== Ram ===
One of Blanc's twin sisters, and thus one of Lowee's CPU Candidates. She is more blunt and outgoing than her twin, Rom. She meets the party after they rescue Rom from Underling, however she is initially untrusting of Nepgear. Together, they both represent the Nintendo DS.
==Powers and Abilities==
Ram and Rom represent the classic two mage classes: Black Mage and White Mage.
Ram is the Black Mage of the two twins. While her attack power is nothing impressive, her Magic power is pretty high. Most of her skills focus on attacking the enemy or debuffing them. She has two healing skills, but they aren't really useful.
Rom is the White Mage and focus on healing mostly. She has some of the best healing skills in the game and has a few attack spells. Her attack power is also weak and so is her defense.

==Trivia==
*Shelby Lindley also voices Tsumugi Kotobuki.
*Both twins are based on a Nintendo DS.
*Ram's name comes from "Random Access Memory" while Rom's name comes from "Read Only Memory".
*It's been stated that Ram is the older sister. Though it's unknown if this is real or just how she sees it. In the English version of the game Ram tells a surprised Nepgear that Rom is actually older. Rom however admits that Ram acts like the older sister. So it may be different in both versions.
*Just like White Heart, upon being defeated the first time they retreat.
*Another way to tell the twins apart, besides color, hair length, and expression is by direction. Most of Ram's things are on the left while Rom's will be on the right. From our view however, Ram is on the right hand, while Rom is on the left.
*In a recent popularity poll, Ram placed 18th while Rom oddly placed 10th, making Ram the least popular sister of the Hearts AND Goddesses.
*The twins are influenced by Nana and Popo from Ice Climbers based on the colors.
