Nu

Nu (ニュー) (Νύ) is a member of Shadow Garden, being one of the Named Numbers ranks. Currently, she is working as an employee of the Mitsugoshi Company as well as being Gamma's personal assistant and bodyguard. Her intelligence and fighting skill has made her a valuable asset to Shadow Garden. Also, she has quickly risen through their ranks, reaching a "Named" number rank No. 13.

Appearance
Nu is a beautiful young woman with dark brown hair and eyes with matching color, fair skin with a clean skin complexion. Her hair is parted to give her face full view, her long hair ending roughly around her waistline, with two locks of hair partitioned beside her cheeks ending at breast length, and decorative choker around her throat.

When working under the Mitsugoshi Company, her attire is professional, as to be expected of a woman in a commercial workforce. She wears a collared v-neck, deep blue mini-one piece atop a white dress, stockings with high heels.

When operating as a Shadow Garden Numbers, she wears the standard Slime Bodysuit with golden decorations and adornments to denote high rank. Her torso carries the standard unitard center connecting to the top with a jacket shouldering, with parallel gold trims descending the center of her torso from her breasts to her pelvis. Her sleeves have gold decoration circling under her deltoid, with violet gem coloring, with a thin gold trimming on the back that fors a T on the upper back. She wears matching cesti with gold accents, a small harness under her breasts with golden clasps that connect to the back of her attire, and her belt is a suit standard with gold hip guards and violet centers. She has symmetrical detailing of three belts across both her thighs, and boots with gold trims along the joints and gold decoration at the pull loop just before the collar, and golden leg guards forward of each of her boots.

Personality
Nu is a dutiful and hardworking young lady who always interacts with her superiors and customers with a beautiful smile. Beneath that persona, however, lies a dark side and she can be quite ruthless and cruel to her enemies, especially those that slighted her beloved master, Shadow. Her enemies would sometimes be sadistically tortured to make them see the error of their ways.

In her old life, Nu was very passive when she was a young noble girl, following the orders of her family. Despite being controlled throughout her childhood, she was somewhat content with her situation due to the small joys she did gain from it. Even in present day, she held some fondness for her old life.

After meeting Cid, Nu became very loyal to him and has shown to have a crush on him, thanking him for granting her freedom. She displays an open hostility towards anyone who causes the slightest grievance towards him, and would not hesitate to kill in order to protect his true identity.

General
Although she just entered the Shadow Garden organization after being cured, her intelligence, professionalism and physical skills were so strong that Alpha herself validated her, quick rise in rank and making her one of the double-digit Numbers, which she are given a Greek name. She is eventually assigned to be the personal assistant and bodyguard of Gamma, who is one of the Seven Shadows.

Master of Disguise
When accompanying Cid to school, Nu dressed herself in an academy uniform with an inconspicuous presentation, blending as a background character.

Swordsmanship
As a Shadow Garden agent, Nu is trained in their advanced and unique swordplay. When she joined her sisters in repelling the terrorists, she used said swordplay to slay numerous attackers.

Makeup Slime
By taking the Slimes normally used to create the bodysuits, they can instead be used in specialized masks to disguise someone as another person. Nu applied this to Cid to be disguised as "Mundane Mann" for the God of War tournament.
