Character

Neko

ネコ

She is carefree and playful, having fun when playing games with people or robots. Neko is also quite gluttonous. She is constantly hungry and will whine when she is not being fed. Her taste for food is also very picky,[7] though she appears to favor fish[8][9] and spicy rice crackers.[10][11] But even when given food, she does not mind her manners and makes attempts to ask for more[8] or steal others' food.[9] Neko is also incredibly naive, deliberately plunging a flying helicopter, in which she and two others were passengers of, straight towards the engine of the Himmelreich simply to get to the destination faster.[4] Even while performing such activities, she does not take notice of the actual dangers she is causing and instead interprets her actions as "helpful" and even entertaining in her perspective.[12] She is, generally speaking, strong-willed and confidant in herself, and takes pride in using her powers to help others and combat against enemies.[13] Neko has a strong love and affection for Shiro, being the only person that didn't chase her away when they first met, stating that she's Shiro's cat and Shiro is hers. She's also overprotective when it comes to him, and if there is any chance that Shiro will be taken away from her she would protect him at any cost, such as clinging on to him when Kuroh Yatogami was about to kill him or not originally telling Shiro who he was, since she was afraid he would leave. Neko has been seen blushing once when hugging Shiro from behind when he was trying to protect her from Kuroh, and again when he, as Adolf K. Weismann, asked her to be his first clansman, to which she replied that she would do anything for him. Later, she was shown crying and telling Kuroh that she wants to give Shiro back his parasol, not even wanting to accept that he's dead. Neko is a very childish person, bordering on selfishness. As such she frequently clashses with Kuroh's no-nonsense ways. Although generally cheerful, Neko is greatly insecure of her relationships with others. Upon meeting Yashiro, she intentionally implanted memories that led him to believe he was living a life that was never true, claiming that because she found him, Yashiro was rightfully hers. As a result, Neko was reluctant to reveal their first memories of each other, even more so when he asked to remember his life from before then, as she believed he would disappear if he remembered.[4] This ties into her past experiences, as she does acknowledge the dangers of her abilities, and a great fear of abandonment. However, during her search for Yashiro alongside Kuroh, Neko matures quite a bit, albeit still a pushy girl who insistently marches to the beat of her own drum. Neko has an immodest side, thanks to her life of shape shifting as a cat. She dislikes clothing, and will run around completely naked when given the slightest chance.
