## Bio

### Personality

Nana formerly worked two jobs: one at a maid café, and the other at an underground idol agency. Worried about her dwindling audience, and her former co-workers getting married, she starts to lose hope of achieving her seiyuu idol dreams. Enter Producer, who comes in while Nana is performing her song "Usamin Legend: The Final Chapter (Episode 4, Part 8)." After the show, he tells her that he's part of a famous agency, and he's here to recruit Nana as a professional idol. Nana is elated for her big break, and that she'll do anything for the job.

Nana is a "forever 17-year-old alien" from the planet Usamin who crash landed on earth to become the best singing and dancing seiyuu idol in the universe. She communicates to Planet Usamin with telecommunicative rabbit ears, which are actually antennae that send radio waves between Earth and Planet Usamin. These communications are usually expressed with Nana spouting phrases like "Piipii☆" and "Minmin!". She also says "Kyaha~☆" when something cute happens. She also protects the planet as a magical girl, with her transformation phrase being "Märchen Change!". Since she was in elementary school, she wanted to be the princess of her world, Planet Usamin. Her schoolmates made fun of her for it, but her parents are very supportive of her dream.

Nana, as an idol, is popular with children, with many of them, even idols like Miria and Yume, asking what Planet Usamin is like and if they can visit. However, people are quick to poke holes in her stories, asking questions about how she can be "eternally 17" and such. Nana, being bad at improvising, can get embarassed and start tangling herself in a web of lies, blushing. This is called the "Usamin-Style Multi-Stage Grave Digging Technique". She is also guilty of making contradictions to her Usamin world, and making overly fanciful statements about it, like saying there are more rabbits on Planet Usamin than there are on Earth.

Despite what it seems, however, Nana is still a hard-working girl who still strives for her dream of being a "singing and dancing seiyuu idol".
