==Summary ==
Nepgear (ネプギア, Nepugia), also known as Purple Sister (パープルシスター, Pāpuru Shisutā), is the Goddess Candidate of Planeptune, and a primary protagonist in the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise.
She is first shown looking on in fear as the Goddesses battle CFW Magic in Gamindustri Graveyard. When the Goddesses were defeated, Nepgear was caught in the process after unsuccessfully pleading for Magic to stop. Three years later, Compa managed to cut Nepgear loose while IF was fighting off the enemy so that she could escape and she uses the rest of her Crystal Power on Judge so that IF and Compa could escape. After using her powers drain out she faints and nearly dies. It is said she was asleep for a week. Later on, Nepgear and other candidates saved their sisters and together, they beat Arfoire, the Deity of SinHyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 (2014).
In contrast to Neptune's hyperactive and energetic behavior, Nepgear is an insecure and slightly bashful girl who will over-apologize for even the most minor of things. She's very hard-working, studious, and mature, often finding herself doing the work of Neptune due to her older sister's laziness. Nepgear is also very kind and caring, trying to bright peoples' days and help them whenever they need it. In addition, Nepgear - much like Neptune - is great at making friends, becoming acquainted with numerous people outside of her nation. In a rare case, she considers the Ultra Dimension version of Neptune to be a sister figure. However, Nepgear has confidence issues, as she considers herself inferior to Neptune quite a lot, and generally belittles herself when not in the main character slot. Nepgear's also a slight airhead, sometimes trying to slip by enemies by treating them with respect, even when she knows that it won't work.
As a Goddess Candidate, Nepgear can undergo a phenomenon known as Hard Drive Divinity and transform into her HDD Form, Purple Sister. As Purple Sister, her personality so far seems to be somewhat the same when in comparison to Neptune's, whose personality changes to more confident, less air-headed, and serious. It is even commented by Neptune in Victory that her personality remains consistent regardless of which form she's in. It's possible she may be less shy and more open in this form, and she seems to be more confident in herself too. She is still very kindhearted and will show mercy.
Nepgear is the personification of Sega's Game Gear.

Intelligence:
Extraordinary Genius (Nepgear is one of the most knowledgeable and smartest characters in the entire franchise. She has modified her own model of the N-Gear, a device that can store a plethora of items, contact other people in different dimensions, hack into government devices, and more. Despite some of her findings on Zero Dimension's web being broken, Nepgear was repairing it using a software tool on her N-Gear. She is knowledgeable in machinery, as she was confident in being able to repair a broken terminal, despite its limitations in technology, eventually doing so after finding the correct replacement parts. Just by taking a glance at a Zero Dimension robot, Nepgear was able to tell that it's a military-grade machine and hypothesizes that its AI is a few decades old based on the technology from Hyper Dimension, and Nepgear has consistently shown she has the capabilities to modify, break down, repair, or inspect robots. Nepgear said that she wanted to fix Uzume's Visual Radio, and would even add new features to it despite its age. Eventually, when realizing that her N-Gear is beyond repair, she took some of the parts from the device and added them to the Visual Radio, both giving it new features and improving the already-existing ones. During the craze of the rewriting of Gamindustri, Nepgear was able to keep up with everything and gathered multiple bits of information, even modifying her and Uni's cellphones in the event that something chaotic occurred. Additionally, she was able to intercept a radio transmission for information on Noire and Lowee, and also did a bit of hacking for information on LeanboxVII - Hyper Dimension Neptunia G: The Golden Leaders, Reconstructors of Gamindustri - Neptune's Story. She has also shown to have some knowledge in dimensional coordinates, as she applied a dimensional coordinate tracker on Uzume's Visual Radio and seems to be the only one, barring Kurome, that knows dimensional coordinates can never change without any tampering. Nepgear was able to tell the functions and voltage stability of Maho's device just by looking at it. Her N-Gear is able to be modified to copy the functions and enhance the stability of Maho's device, which took an instant to do, and even had more upgrades to it after the factSisters VS Sisters - Chapter 1. In just one night, Nepgear was able to build a prototype for a Trendi Phenomenon suppression deviceSisters VS Sisters - Chapter 4. She was able to repair SeelySisters VS Sisters - Chapter 11, a highly advanced robot from 10-12 years in the future capable of time-travelingSisters VS Sisters - Chapter 9 with combat functionalitiesSisters VS Sisters - Chapter 6 and deletion code initiatives, which are well-made to the point where the AI being deleted couldn't stop itSisters VS Sisters - Chapter 2; Seely was made in such a way that Nepgear considered it far more advanced than anything she had before beginning her repairsSisters VS Sisters - Chapter 7)
Has vast combat experience and prowess (Nepgear is showed to be a skilled swordfighter, and her skills have been praised by other characters before, such as Falcom. She has created a few of her own attacks, such as Celestial Severance and her own version of Neptune's D-Drive attacks. In a sea battle against some of Leanbox's navy, Nepgear was able to overwhelm several B-Rank soldiersVII - Hyper Dimension Neptunia G: The Golden Leaders, Reconstructors of Gamindustri - Vert's Story. 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, Neptune, 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. Nepgear 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: Nepgear is very shy and she lacks confidence. She has tunnel vision when focused on something too much to the point of unawareness of her surroundings. Her Share Energy can be cancelled out with large amounts of Negative Energy.
