Neptune (Rave)

Neptune (ネプテューヌ, Neptune) is the main protagonist of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series and appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Rave.
She is voiced by Melissa Fahn in English and Rie Tanaka in Japanese, reprising both of their respective roles as her from the Hyperdimension Neptunia series.
==Attributes==
Neptune is a lightweight swordfighter with fast mobility in the ground and in the air. Like in her home series, she is classified as a zoner, by using a combination of attacks with her sword.
She has a fighter ability in which she can turn into Purple Heart after a meter above her damage meter is full. Once she has turned into Purple Heart, her attacks deal more damage but her movement is slower. The transformation lasts 30 seconds.
