She also has two short and thin pigtails, the right side ending just on her shoulders while her left side ends just above her neckline. She wears a standard Tōtsuki uniform during school. Nene is extremely taciturn, speaking very bluntly if she even speaks at all. Her personality directly conflicts with Terunori Kuga, who is much more loud and brash, often leading to her to vocally tell him to die or ridiculing his height. Like most of the other Elite Ten members, Nene does not see any of the first year students as a threat due to the confidence her superior abilities that got her the seat. Hence, she does not accept challenges from non-seated Elite Ten members. She is a stickler for protocol and managed to scold Rindō Kobayashi into wearing her Central badge despite the latter's initial defiant attitude about it. However, this adherence to protocol has lead to her own downfall as her own self belief that the Kinokuni style of making soba has no flaws, causing her to disregard any sort of possible environment conditions that may cause her dishes to lose potency.
