Description
Nu, formerly known as Nicoletta Marquez, is a member of the secret organization Shadow Garden and holds the designation of the thirteenth of the Numbers, having originally joined as No. 93. She was once the 18-year-old daughter of a marquis in the Midgar Kingdom who became possessed by a demon, leading to persecution and her erasure from official existence. Rescued and medically treated by Shadow Garden, she quickly rose through the ranks thanks to her strength, loyalty, and well-rounded abilities, earning validation from Alpha herself.
Nu is an obedient, hardworking, and professional individual who communicates politely with both superiors and clients. She is intelligent, athletic, and highly adaptable, capable of shifting between roles such as a calm clerk and a fierce interrogator. Her motivation stems from loyalty to Shadow Garden and a desire to serve effectively, particularly as Gamma’s assistant and bodyguard. She takes her duties seriously and is reliable in executing missions.
Within the story, Nu primarily acts as Gamma’s assistant and bodyguard, overseeing Gamma’s personal safety because Gamma’s combat capabilities are hampered by extreme clumsiness. She also works undercover as a clerk at the Mitsugoshi Company, maintaining a public front while gathering intelligence. In the second season, she infiltrates a school as a contact for Cid and participates in missions alongside other Numbers, such as the operation involving the hot springs. Her role is that of a stealth operative and general-purpose support, stepping in when the Seven Shadows cannot act personally.
Key relationships include her direct subordination to Gamma, whom she protects and assists, and her respectful interactions with other high-ranking members like Alpha. She has a more distant but dutiful relationship with Cid (Shadow), the organization’s founder. Her development shows a transition from a persecuted noble victim to a capable and trusted operative, with her former engagement to Marco ending due to her possession.
Nu’s notable abilities include mastery of disguise and the art of torture, allowing her to slip into various appearances and extract information by force. She is also a skilled infiltrator, able to blend into different environments such as the Mitsugoshi Company or academic settings. Her athleticism and intelligence make her an effective fighter, and although her power does not rival the Seven Shadows, she surpasses Gamma in practical combat, making her the ideal bodyguard for her superior.
