Appearance
Nene is a young woman with black twintails whose clothing style corresponds to the japanese gyaru fashion subculture.

She wears big round orange earrings and has pink ribbon amidst the length of her twintails. Her outfit consists of multiple layers of clothing: she appears to be wearing a flashy yellow mesh "extreme" crop-top atop a blue and white crop-top, itself on top of a white t-shirt. On top of this, she wears multiple straps, the majority of them white with a few different coloured ones at the bottom. She also wears a white choker collar in the form of a belt ressembling the straps surrounding the top of her body, and a green shrug with a leopard motif. Her bottoms are denim shorts underneath which she wears pink net tights and pink socks with a black side-portrait as motif, and black platform shoes.

Her make-up consists of pink eyeshadow and lipstick, and her nails are painted red. She also has a black long ring on her right index finger.

Behind the scenes footage shows her to be wearing a bright red bodysuit-like top underneath her blue and white crop-top instead of a white t-shirt.

History
If the player chooses not to untie Akane Sachimura, Nene first appears when she knocks on the latter's hotel room door, crying for help. She lets herself in as soon as Makoto Karaki opens the door, complaining about a terrifying noise in her room, which she assumes to be of supernatural origin.

As she walks inside, she notices Akane sitting on the floor with her hands tied, which she immediately questions. Rather than tell the truth, Makoto claims this to be a "personal liking", but finally looking at him, Nene recognizes him to be the serial-killer Makoto Karaki, whom she claims to be a fan of.

Her attitude switches completely and she assumes Akane to be Makoto's next victim. Refusing to listen to him, she begs him to let her watch him commit the murder, insisting she won't tell anyone, as she's truly a fan. Makoto still refuses and, not willing to let go, she decides to kill Akane herself, hoping he'll kill her next. She hits Akane to knock her out and then snaps her neck with her legs, effectively killing her on the spot. Proudly announcing she did it, she walks towards Makoto, paralyzed in fear, and begs him to kill her now.

Makoto being unresponsive, she starts hitting him over and over, hoping he'll defend himself eventually, but she ends up killing him in the process.

Personality
Nene seems to be a sensible, albeit eccentric, young woman at first, as she appears to be scared by a noise in her hotel room, which she assumes to be of supernatural origin. She is, however, quickly revealed to be a self-proclaimed murder enthusiast and fan of renowned serial-killer Makoto Karaki.

When she recognizes him, she shows herself to be clingy, and after begging for him to let her watch him kill Akane Sachimura, reveals her own bloodthirst - she doesn't hesitate to commit murder of her own. She murders Akane in order to obtain her idol's attention, only to then accidentally kill him as she hits him repeatedly hoping for him to defend himself, revealing herself to be violent in nature.

She isn't implied to have killed anyone before, however, she seems to have very low value of her own life, as she doesn't hesitate to beg to be killed by her favourite serial killer.
