Adorooster

**Adorooster**, known in Japanese as **Niwarinpa** (にわりんぱ), is a mascot character that appears in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative*.

Adorooster is a purple rooster mascot from the same universe as Adorabbit. Shoma Enda owns an Adorooster plushie, which he keeps in his home.

## History

According to Mizuki Date, Adorooster is the manager of a fried chicken shop that Adorabbit works at. Aiba remarks that this is a peculiar situation, given what kind of animal Adorooster is.

In *nirvanA Initiative*, Shoma Enda owns an Adorooster plushie. Kaname Date suggests that Shoma is familiar with the Ado- merchandise because Mizuki, Shoma's crush, is a fan of Adorabbit, which Shoma denies with a blush. In "2/13 Ryuki Chapter 3 - Smiles for Tears", Kuruto Ryuki - who is unfamiliar with the dolls - mistakenly identifies Adorooster as "that Adorabbit thing" while investigating Shoma's house.

In Shoma's Somnium, Nested Insecurities, Adorooster appears flattened under the fridge when Tama lifts it up. She then goes to interact with the miso soup and finds herself paralyzed as Adorooster slowly floats out of the pot. A terrified Tama screams for help as Adorooster lunges towards her in a jumpscare. The screen cuts to black and Adorooster is gone when it fades back in, leaving Tama and Ryuki confused. He can then be seen later in the Somnium, stuck inside the family kotatsu.

## Appearance

The mascot is a purple, bipedal rooster with a pink comb. He has black splotches around his eyes and at the tips of his feathers. He has two yellow eyes at the sides of his head that look in different directions. His beak is wide open and a tongue lolls out. Bandages are wrapped around his chest and head, with his head bandage somehow wrapping underneath his left eye.
