Nanachi is one of the main characters from the Made in Abyss series.
== Charactah Account ==
A mysterious being who rescues Reg and Riko in the Cup of Giants. Nanachi is a Hollow, or somebody whose body was mutated by ascending from the Abyss's sixth layer; while Hollow are usually monstrous in appearance, Nanachi somehow gained the form of a cute bunny humanoid. Nanachi makes a home in the Cup of Giants with Mitty, a fellow Hollow who was reduced to a fleshy blob. Taking care of Mitty in the depths of the Abyss has provided extensive medical knowledge, and while initially secretive and a bit abrasive, Nanachi has a truly good heart. They are burdened with a terrible past, particularly with the infamous White Whistle Bondrewd the Novel. 
Most of the time Nanachi is cool and reserved, keeping their distance emotionally and physically. Their attitude often borders on being sarcastic and even cynical, however behind this mask, Nanachi hides a kind and gentle soul, capable of deep compassion and selfless devotion. They are also quite bashful when complimented, seen in their reaction to being called "fluffy". They also express discomfort at being petted, especially by Reg.

== Trivia ==
* Nanachi is generally presumed to be female, based upon their feminine appearance. However, their gender and sex have never been explicitly stated within the series itself. The only gender referent used by Nanachi is the pronouns that they used to refer to themself with. When talking about themself Nanachi uses the pronoun oira (which is similar to ore but more casual. Evokes a person with a rural background, a "country bumpkin"), which has a masculine connotation to it. The creator of Made in Abyss, Akihito Tsukushi, commented on Nanachi's sex on Twitter, stating: "the sex of Nanachi is unknown. Let's imagine :)." The official English translator of Made in Abyss has also chosen to use gender neutral pronouns.
* Occasionally there are extra pages at the end of chapters that give more detailed descriptions of the creatures and relics seen; Nanachi often shows up on these pages giving their own insight on the subject. These small bits are called "Nanachi's Trivia."
* Nanachi has an "irresistible fragrance", due to wanting to have a pleasant smell and Mitty's blessing granting it to them. In particular, the base of their tail smells really good. They are also really fluffy. This is an interesting parallel between their former human self, who was smelly and repulsive to others.
* According to the perfume released with the Blu-ray of the third movie, the base of Nanachi's ears smell caramellic; similar to cotton candy.
* Their age is likely older than appearance suggests.
* When signing their name, they always draw a picture of their face with the characters for "Nanachi" underneath.
* In the online fan meeting, called Cave Raiders Guild Rally, Akihito Tsukushi stated Nanachi's height, including ears, to be 1,70 meters. After thinking about it again, he tweeted Nanachi's height to be actually about 1,50 meters, including ears, and about 1,30 meters without the ears.
* Nanachi inhaled a substance sort of like a sleeping medicine in Belaf's House which made them drowsy.
* The book that Nanachi used to read to Mitty contains a folk song apparently based on the White Whistles: "With time the boulders leave a trail becoming a hail of burning steel turning the ice-clad trees into clouds. Extending their necks through the skies the colossal turtles gather together to gaze at the amber sky."
* Nanachi makes a brief cameo on Pop Team Epic's episode 2 when they appear on one of Popuko and Pipimi's "Ridiculous Fortunes." It says "Good Luck, Nanachi is cute!".
