Kihara Nana

*Venus*

Kihara Yuiichiro *(Divorced Husband)* †

**Kihara Nana** *(木原菜奈 Kihara Nana)* is a former member of the Kihara Family who defected and dabbled in the occult. She is the adoptive mother of Kihara Eiichiro, the ex-wife of Kihara Yuiichiro, and the biological mother of Kihara Chinatsu. She left Eiichiro and Chinatsu when they were still young, just before the cataclysm with Eiichiro. She is in truth the main reason why Eiichiro worked hard in developing his esper level, so that when she comes home she would be happy with him.

She was at one point an enemy to Kihara Eiichiro as she and several others were pitted against each other in the Thousand Year Mystral Tournament hosted by the Game Master and the Order of the Ragnarok. She eventually joins Eiichiro's organization officially after they survive the Mystral Tournament.

## Personality

Being a biological Kihara, Nana can be best described as a mad scientist by nature. She always follows her curiosity, studying anything and anyone that manages to capture her interest regardless of what inhumane methods she uses. This nature is what put her at odds with Kihara Eiichiro during the Mystral Tournament, as she abandoned him when she had no more use for him. Going so far as to admit that the only reason why she had adopted him in the first place was because she wanted to see if anything would change about her. Despite this, she still shows great motherly care to both her children and hypocritically lectures Eiichiro and Chinatsu to *"not follow in their mother's footsteps"* something that they both took to heart. However Chinatsu still does a lot of experimentation to sooth her curiosity as a biological Kihara, however Eiichiro was the one who took it better.

Nana is usually cheerful and happy-go-lucky. She always seems to have a relaxed smile on her face no matter what she's doing. However, this only reinforces her amoral nature, as she doesn't have any regrets about any of the things she is doing, even casually greeting Eiichiro several years after throwing him away.

After gaining Immortality and getting defeated by Eiichiro, Nana started to show signs of change. While she continues to act cheerful and more childish towards everyone like she did before, Chinatsu noticed that her mother had developed a human heart and emotions, something she lacked before when she was still mortal. Nana herself had also noticed this change about her. Nana most noticeable started feeling guilty about all the horrible and inhumane things she did before, especially the trouble she put her children through. Nana doesn't seem to view sexual activities or romantic relationships between family members as much of a big deal. After becoming Immortal and finding out about Eiichiro's immortality, she no longer feels that they are bounded by the same rules as mortals and therefore see's no problem with being in a relationship with him.

## Appearance

Nana has pale skin and looks very similar to Chinatsu in terms of appearance however she has darker colored hair with Chinatsu taking her green hair from her father. She is usually seen wearing a white uniform with a white coat on it, a tight blue skirt and blue high heels. She is also very beautiful and athletic with a voluptuous figure including large breasts and butt, a tight waist, perfect hips for easy childbirth and long slender limbs.

She has been described to have a perfect, sexy body and an amazingly high sex appeal that other women don't have, something that is visible through her uniform. Other women like Kojima Mayu and even her own son have found Nana to be overwhelmingly attractive and sexy. Since she joined CERBERUS, she has grown even more erotic according to Eiichiro, to point where even a simple gesture from her was very sexy.

## Powers and Abilities

### Magic

Just like Eiichiro, Nana's magic is primarily based around Grimoires. However there is a difference between the two in that she can easily write Grimoires, whilst Eiichiro can merely update them by viewing an unknown spell. This gives Nana the element of surprise when it comes to a battle between magicians, as she is able to easily cast a spell without any prior preparations. Although one could say that preparing the Grimories is the prior preparation needed to be able to cast the spells. Nana is also a talented writer and translator, with great competence in handling original grimoires, having succesfully translated and converted various grimoires, whose original forms are incomprehensible and shattered reader's souls with their toxic knowledge, into a simpler form which anyone could read. She is naturally well-versed in the art of the Grimoires that she is even able to convert her own magical energy into grimoires without breaking a sweat, whereas other Sorcerer-Class Magicians would begin showing symptoms after writing as much Grimoires as she does.

#### Shorthand

Kihara Nana uses a technique called a **Shorthand** *(速記原典 Sokki Genten, lit. Shorthand Original)*, in which she mixes the symbols and the colors of the four elements in Western magic. The use of the incompatible colors allows for a reaction that Nana can use as an attack, though not only that, but complex spells such a Counter Spell as well. This is because she used a "shorthand" (her cursive writing on the flashcard) of instructions on the flashcard along with the incompatible colors and symbols, like a mini original grimoire. However, it is imperfect and unlike an original grimoire is destroyed when the spell activates. Unlike grimoires, the Shorthands' purpose is not to pass on the techniques and knowledge for future generations, but to destroy the Shorthand instantly when needed. Moreover, unlike original grimoires that corrupt its readers, because of the scribbled writing of Nana, no knowledge can be passed on.

Nana used her Shorthand instead of focusing on a particular element in order to circumvent enemies from reading her magic and making a defensive spell to counter it. Her various combinations are made through the use of the incompatible colors and names as well as the usage of angles which have laws for each of them based on Western Astrology, where there each relationship between the planets and the constellations have different functions due to different angles. Because Nana uses page numbers on each flashcard to identify them, she cannot reuse the same spell again. This is to take advantage of the fact that her Shorthand grimoires will lose control and self-destruct because it won't stabilize. Each new "grimoire" creates a new spell.

#### Grimoire Creation

Being an expert at Grimoires, Kihara Nana is able to write up a Grimoire and with efficiency and speed. Although this is not the Grimoire like her **Shorthand**, rather it is the Original Grimoire that contradicts common sense, a knowledge that is far too alien to be safely comprehensible to any normal human. She has the ability to write these up. As the structure of a grimoire is compared to that of a Magic Circle, with a magic circle written with words can end up having 2 or 3 additional lines surrounding the original circle, like sentences on a page, in combination with her perfect memory she is able to cast the spells of the original grimoires that she wrote herself. Since she is the original creator, she doesn't suffer from the alien and eldritch knowledge that it would normally cause another magician, giving her an added extra benefit to her status as a magician something that Alyssha highlighted.

Additionally, Nana is able to create Grimoires not just in the shape of books. She has been able to create Grimoires out of stone tablets and using other materials such as lamb skin or human skin. She has also shown to turn humans into a Grimoire, allowing them to use the spells that was written into them without any prior preparations. Another example of her ability to create a Grimoire out of anything was shown when she was able to turn her arm into a grimoire so that it could handle the power of the **World Rejecter Replica** *(偽・理想送 Nise Risō Okuri, lit. Fake Ideal Exile)*. Overall, it is this particular ability that she was regarded as one of the best magicians in the East.

### Genius Level Intelligence

As with other Kiharas, Nana possesses considerable scientific knowledge and intellect. Her researcher's mind is capable of taking into account conditions, tools and possible methods, and calculating the values and steps in order to reach a goal, even when Nana herself is under immense distress. She also possesses a degree of forensic and investigative capabilities, allowing her to easily arrive at the correct conclusions with the slightest of data.

She has displayed knowledge in Biology, Human Anatomy and Medicine to the point that she is able to safely stop and restart a human heart with a simple grab of the chest. She has also shown to be able to heal practically any sickness or injury, even if it is terminal. Described playfully by Eiichiro that she has the ability to distort the rules of God and somehow bring someone back to life after a few seconds of death with only her medical knowledge.

Kihara Nana is born with an innate eidetic photographic memory. She can remember great volumes of information, in greater detail and for much longer than the average human, she can read books, listen to song lyrics, encounter people or experience events and recall a vast deal of the details of her experience. In addition, it takes less effort to recall the information she encounters, and she can remember it for longer without having to strain. This is what allowed Nana the ability to memorize the grimoires she creates so that she can use their spells whenever she likes.

### World Rejecter

To combat Eiichiro's **Imagine Breaker Replica** (*偽・幻想殺し Nise Gensō Goroshi, lit. Fake Illusion Killer)*, Nana crafted her own Replica based on the **World Rejecter** *(理想送 Risō Okuri, lit. Ideal Exile)*. Just like the original, the **World Rejecter Replica** *(偽・理想送 Nise Risō Okuri, lit. Fake Ideal Exile)* is a mysterious power that resides within her right hand. It was created by collecting all of the negative desires of humanity's wishes to abandon and escape the current world, compressing it into her right hand and using a one page customized grimoire as a core to hold the form and power together in a manner similar to the entities inside the Imagine Breaker Replica. Like the original, it allows her to erase individuals with conflicting desires and their creations, and cast them into a 'new world'. Like the original, World Rejecter makes use of excess regions within the world's timeline, the timeline can expand or contract like a rubber string, and as such it has a fair amount of unused space that Nana is able to cast individuals to.

Unlike the original, World Rejecter Replica doesn't have to adhere to the condition that the individual must possess conflicting desires in their hearts. She can cast anyone and everyone she chooses into the unused timeline, even those who have a single goal in mind and are resolved to walk down a single path without wavering, are unaffected. Just like the original, the World Rejecter Replica can work on individuals, anything created by those individuals, including physical constructs and supernatural powers. However as it is still a replica, the effective range of World Rejecter Replica is only determined by whether or not Nana makes physical contact with her target.

This can also act as a pseudo-nullifer for esper powers and magic spells, as long as she can make contact with an offensive or defensive technique she can banish them to the unused timelines. The World Rejecter Replica has also been shown to be capable of crushing a newly created Phase before it could be embedded onto the world, something that it shares with the original World Rejecter.

As the target is erased by World Rejecter, it is relocated and exiled to the unused regions of the timeline, the 'new world'. The erasure apparently doesn't cause the victim pain and in observed cases, induces a state of bliss and hope for the new world in their heart. Being erased, separated and exiled from the current world essentially means that it is unlikely to return to the current world. So far, Alyssha, Eve and Eiichiro are the only people who has the ability to return after being exiled. It is unknown how Alyssha does it, but Eve and Eiichiro can force their way back into the current world. Eve can simply use her **Eyes of the Lord** to find a gap back into the current world while Eiichiro can use the power of the entities in his Imagine Breaker Replica to forcefully open a portal between the unused timeline and the current world.

## Items and Equipment

### Draupnir

**Draupnir** *(万象の金 Banshō no Kin, lit. All-Creating Gold)* is a spiritual item that was created by Kihara Nana with the ability to freely bring together any magic sword or divine spear which is on a level that she is able to use without being overwhelmed. When used, the bracelets first expand out while remaining in place around Nana's wrists like the rings around a planet, before disappearing in a flash of light, forming the desired weapon. Draupnir takes the form of two golden bracelets with the design of a serpent eating its own tail, likely a reference to Jörmungandr, a serpent so large it was able to surround the earth and grasp its own tail. When activated, the bracelets extend to 30cm across while remaining around the wrists of the user. Additionally, it can read other Spiritual Items in order to acquire data within. After obtaining the data of the Spiritual Items, it can replicate the form and powers of those spiritual items, changing shape in an organic-looking fashion like a tree growing on fast forward.
