TV Special
Description
Rom is one of Lowee's twin CPU Candidates and Blanc's younger sister. She bears a strong resemblance to her twin, Ram, but features shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes, and typically a neutral or frowning expression. Her outfit includes a pastel blue winter jacket with puffed sleeves, a frilled center with golden buttons, and white fur-lined cuffs, worn over a gray and white overall dress. Accessories consist of a cap resembling Blanc's, boots matching her jacket, and a hot pink shoulder purse. She stands 132 cm tall. In her human form, her hair remains brown with blue eyes; transforming into her Hard Drive Divinity state as White Sister changes her hair to shorter, light blue locks and pink eyes. Her HDD attire is a white bodysuit featuring pink accents on the arms, legs, and torso, complete with long gloves and connected boots.
Shy, quiet, and reserved, Rom often appears nervous or upset by Ram's impulsive actions, though she typically defers to Ram. The twins are inseparable, rarely leaving home without each other. As White Sister, Rom becomes more serious and confident, speaking with greater assertiveness while retaining a gentle demeanor. She demonstrates moments of independent will, such as insisting on helping Nepgear despite Ram's reluctance. Rom is depicted as the older twin, though Ram often behaves as the dominant sibling, particularly in English versions where their birth order dynamic varies due to cultural interpretations of twin hierarchy.
Her key relationships involve her sisters. She shares a loving yet occasionally strained bond with Blanc, whom she and Ram enjoy teasing to provoke her anger. Rom displays deep concern for Blanc's safety, crying when Blanc is kidnapped. With Nepgear, Rom develops trust after Nepgear helps recover a lost pen, leading to a warm friendship. She also expresses affection for Lowee's oracle, Mina Nishizawa, feeling sadness when Mina departs on a journey.
Rom's story involves multiple kidnappings and rescues. In *mk2/Re;Birth2*, Underling kidnaps her twice; the second instance results in brainwashing, forcing her to fight Nepgear alongside Ram. After being freed, she joins Nepgear's party to rescue the CPUs and defeat antagonists like CFW Trick and Arfoire. In *Victory/Re;Birth3*, she assists Neptune and Plutia confronting Rei Ryghts, later interacting with the Ultra Dimension Blanc. A mobile game crisis in the Ultra Dimension sees her investigating corrupt developers Bamo and Regu, contributing to their defeat. *Megadimension Neptunia VII* features Rom and Ram becoming monster hunters in Lowee after Gamindustri's restructuring. Cornered by delusionary monsters, they are rescued by Blanc, subsequently aiding in evacuations and battles alongside allies like C-Sha. During the anime, she appears in Lowee-focused episodes: visiting an amusement park where she and Ram are kidnapped, prompting Blanc's rescue and reconciliation. Later episodes show her doodling on Vert's books during a cleanup and presenting Blanc with a drawing.
As a CPU Candidate, Rom transforms into White Sister using Hard Drive Divinity. Her combat role emphasizes support, specializing in healing and stat-boosting magic over direct confrontation. She wields a pencil-shaped weapon called Die Pencil in both human and HDD forms. Strategic pairings with Blanc unlock special combo attacks, and she participates in combined special moves involving all four Lowee sisters. Rom dislikes hot baths, noted in *Re;Birth3*.
Trivia notes include her design basis as half of the Nintendo DS, symbolized by the rectangles on her hat representing DS screen icons, with her name derived from "Read Only Memory." She is sometimes associated with Nana from *Ice Climbers* due to color scheme similarities.
