Uzume Tennouboshi

Uzume Tennouboshi, also known as Orange Heart, is a Console Patron Unit (CPU) in Megadimension Neptunia VII. A dreamer girl who fights alone in a spirited way in order to save the Zero Dimension. She appears to be a tomboy in her human form, but in her Goddess form, she is much girlier. She represents the Sega Dreamcast.
==Profile==
===Uzume Tennouboshi===
====Appearance====
Uzume has fair skin and curved orange eyes. Her long carnelian-red hair is worn in low pigtails held by a small braided segment of hair, and she has several thick locks sticking up, the left slightly pinned back with two black triangle clips. Her pointed forelocks are shoulder-length. She wears a black tube top and orange underwear, paired with an opened white shirt that has grey detail and a clasp around the navel to match her grey pleat shorts, which are held by black suspender straps. She also wears a large orange tie with black and white detail, one black sleeve and a shorter orange and black striped sleeve to match her single sock, and matching colored gloves and shoes. Her leg-warmers are covered in large, colorful pins, and on her left wrist is a device.
====Personality ====
Uzume is the type of girl who is obsessed with being cool so that she comes off as reliable. Uzume is exceptionally loyal and honest to her friends, and more noticeably to her people willing to go as far as to die for them. She refers to herself with the masculine pronoun "Ore" (俺). Very rarely will you see her relax unless she is around friends. However, Umio explains that this is a very strong willed facade made to help cope with her position as Zero Dimension's sole remaining CPU, with her real self on display when she enters her "Daydream" mode and as Orange Heart, that cutesy girl who wants everything to be okay. In this state, she speaks in third-person and her speech patterns become much more immature. She seems to be embarrassed with her original personality, and will deny speaking that way when called out on it. She is a rare case of her human personality changing while her HDD Personality retains her original personality. She gives nicknames to all her friends by adding "-sy" ("-cchi" in Japanese) to the end of their name, sometimes shortening their actual name in the process (I.E. - Neptune becomes Nepsy, while Nepgear is called Gearsy).
===Orange Heart===
==== Appearance ====
As Orange Heart, her hair grows in length and turns light orange, now worn in pigtails on top of her head held by large loops of hair. Her bangs lessen and thin out, appearing neatly brushed. Her eyes turn blue. She wears a white one-piece with orange bottoms and silver and black accents. At the middle of the chest is a section of blue fabric. She also gains white opera gloves with squared bracelets and armor, puffy boots with an orange platform sole, and a brim hat with pieces reminiscent of animal ears.
====Personality====
Orange Heart's personality, while dramatically different than Uzume's, is actually Uzume's original personality retained in her HDD form. She has a cutesy, somewhat adorable personality full of innocence and love for her people. While Uzume hides this cutesy demeanor to come off as cool, the limiters come off when its Orange Heart, that being said she is no less serious about doing her job than Uzume is and will do whatever it takes to save Zero Dimension.

==Etymology==
Uzume's first name refers to the Japanese goddess of dawn, mirth and revelry, Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto (天鈿女命). Her tough attitude may be a reference to the Kogo Shui (古語拾遺)'s interpretation of "Uzume" (鈿女) as "Woman of Strength". Uzume's last name, Tennouboshi (天王星, lit. Heaven King Star), the Japanese name for the planet Uranus, is a reference to Sega Uranus; a possibly unused Sega console codename.
Orange Heart's name is inspired by the orange swirl on the Sega Dreamcast.
* "Uzu" is Japanese for "whirlpool" or "swirl", referencing the Dreamcast symbol.
==Quotes==
==Trivia==
*Uzume's partner Umio is the personification of the virtual pet game Seaman, which was originally released on the console that Uzume personifies, the Sega Dreamcast.
*It is strongly implied that before Uzume was sealed away, Umio had romantic feelings for her but her feelings for him were unknown.
* One of Uzume's main themes is about positive dreams and good dreaming, which is a reference to the console she represents.
*In one of the side events, it is revealed that Uzume does not like shiitake mushrooms.
*Like her fellow CPUs of Planeptune, Neptune and Plutia, Uzume's character changes drastically after transforming. However, unlike her two colleagues, Uzume becomes softer and playful, while Neptune and Plutia become tougher and more mature.
* Uzume is the only CPU whose voice becomes higher rather than deeper after transforming, though this was originally the case for Noire in the first two main games and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2.
*Uzume's SeHa Girls counterpart is Dreamcast.
*In MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies, Uzume and Iris Heart are the only cast members to play as secondary characters, while the rest play either various minor characters or a primary character.
*When using one of her SP Skills, Dream Combo, or her EXE Drive, Special Dream Combo, Uzume says "ORAORAORA!", which is believed to be a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. However, "ORAORA" is commonly used in Japanese media to show tough, manly-ish characters putting in effert into their punches.
* It is stated by Umio that Uzume can unconsciously cause phenomena to occur based on her feelings and desires while daydreaming. This may be a reference to the character Haruhi Suzumiya from the series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
*One of Uzume's attacks bears a lot of similarities to the "Giga Drill Break" from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Spirals are also mentioned frequently by Uzume, alluding to Spiral Power from the same series, and Uzume's subconscious abilities tend to make impossible things happen, much like Spiral Power does in the Gurren Lagann series proper.
*Uzume is among the oldest beings in the series, older than the current Hyper Dimension goddesses by two generations. Currently, the only beings older than her are: Blanc, Rei Ryghts, Croire, Histoire, and the Deity of Sin.
*Curiously, aside from Rei Ryghts, Uzume Tennouboshi is the only CPU to have a last name. This suggests that last names may be common for CPUs in the distant past.
* Uzume is currently the only CPU who has died but later comes back to life.
*Orange Heart's design may have been influenced by the design of Ulala from Space Channel 5, which released first on Dreamcast.
*In the Characters section of the official Japanese website for Neptunia re★Verse, Uzume had three arms in her artwork due to a mistake. This was immediately fixed shortly after the website's launch.
