Description
Personality
Nezumi presents a complex and multifaceted personality. Initially appearing rude, sarcastic, and irritable, he maintains a detached demeanor, prioritizing self-preservation and distrusting others. He believes in a survival-of-the-fittest mentality, viewing relationships as potential weaknesses. However, beneath this hardened exterior lies a capacity for thoughtful gestures and a surprising depth of emotion, particularly concerning his relationship with Shion. His love for literature and his vast knowledge, despite lacking formal education, reveal a thoughtful and intelligent mind. His theatrical tendencies and dramatic flair add to his enigmatic persona. As the story progresses, his initial cynicism softens, revealing a protective and caring side, particularly towards Shion, ultimately challenging his core beliefs about self-reliance and emotional detachment.
Abilities
Nezumi possesses a combination of physical prowess, survival skills, and a unique ability linked to his heritage. He is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat and proficient with a knife, demonstrating agility and strength honed through years of survival in harsh environments. His heightened senses allow him to perceive danger instinctively, akin to an animal's awareness. Furthermore, as a descendant of the Forest Folk, Nezumi is the last "Singer," possessing the ability to communicate with and potentially control the Elyurias, a powerful parasitic entity. His singing voice is described as having a soul-stirring quality, capable of influencing others on an emotional level. While the extent of his control over Elyurias remains somewhat ambiguous, it suggests a significant power tied to his heritage and a potential for manipulating or influencing the parasitic wasps.
