## Appearance

When she goes to school she usually wears the school uniform.

## Personality

Nemu is usually shy around people and doesn't usually have any friends.

Due to her mother's teachings, she learned not to show her true feelings, this training made Nemu concentrate more on learning magic from her so she doesn't know how to act in front of people.

Since she met Nico, Morihito, Keigo, Kanshi and Miharu she has learned how to act around people and overcome her shyness.

Due to the time she has spent studying, she knows about many rare magic and spells.

## History

Like most witches, Nemu was raised by her mother teaching her how important it was to learn how to use her magic.

This caused Nemu not to make any friends during her childhood and she became a shy person.

Due to her desire to have a familiar, she investigates Morihito and would be interested in him due to his ogre blood, after observing that he already had a witch to serve, Nemu would abandon her interest although she would continue to return Morihito home to see him.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Unnamed Mother

Their exact relationship is not known. But her mother raised her during her childhood so that she wouldn't become a warlock. This would cause Nemu to become shy in the process.

### Friends

#### Nico Wakatsuki

Nico and Nemu met during the **Dogs and Raindrops prophecy**, being of help to Morihito, Nico and Kanshi. From that moment they both became good friends because they are both witches and they understand the situation perfectly. Both would begin to go out together and would spend time at Nico's house with the others. Nico would tell her about her crush on Moi.

#### Morihito Otogi

Initially Nemu wanted Moi to become her familiar due to his descent, after several incidents where Nemu used to come to Morihito's house in the form of a cat due to her shyness, she finally plucked up the courage to appear before Morihito and Nico during the **Dogs and Raindrops prophecy**. After befriending Nico and learning about Nico's crush on Morihito, Nemu distanced herself from him in her cat form. Nemu respects Morihito due to his descent and abilities and considers him a great friend.

#### Keigo Magami

After Nemu made a deal with Wolf, Nemu would start spending more time in the otogi house and thus with Keigo. By spending time with him she would realize that he was not a bad person. Some time later when Keigo felt useless by not being able to do anything without Wolf, feeling identified with him, Nemu would try to help him, she would even teach him the flight spell so that he would learn to do it, feeling great confidence in him, Nemu was about to tell him about her magical specialty but due to an incident she was unable to do so causing her to be rescued by Keigo. From that moment Nemu would begin to develop romantic feelings towards Keigo.

#### Wolf

Wolf is the only person who knows Nemu's magical speciality, so they both make a deal in which Nemu has to make Keigo see a crescent moon so that he transform to Wolf. Because of this, Nemu often talks to Wolf when she wants to talk about something related to her magic.

#### Momo Kuramochi

Being introduced by Nico, they both got along very well being both witches.
