OVA
Description
Nene Sakura, childhood friends with Aoba Suzukaze since preschool, shares Aoba's petite stature and youthful appearance. Standing at 144 cm, she has light-blonde hair styled in low pigtails with light-blue beads, blue eyes, and a May 5 birthday. Her blood type is B.

Initially enrolling in college to discover her purpose, Nene struggled with peers perceiving her as childish. Her trajectory shifted after beta testing *Fairies Story 3*, sparking a programming interest. She secured a summer internship at Eagle Jump under Umiko Ahagon’s supervision, nearly losing it due to tardiness. During this period, she identified a critical bug where Aoba’s character Sophia-chan triggered an endless battle loop.

Klutzy, energetic, and easily distracted, Nene frequently left her workstation. A dedicated otaku, she bonded swiftly with fellow *Fairies Story* enthusiast Hajime Shinoda. Internship experiences—reconciling work-related arguments with Aoba, accidentally unplugging Umiko’s computer—solidified her passion for game development. She transitioned to a permanent programming role at Eagle Jump, specializing in NPC behavior and AI for *PECO2*.

Her deep, mutually supportive friendship with Aoba involves advising her and accompanying her to events. Nene’s dynamic with Umiko evolved into mentorship, with Umiko offering career guidance and ongoing support contact. Professionally, she volunteered to debug rival Tsubame Narumi’s minigames, ensuring their inclusion in the final product.

Nene attended high school with Aoba and Hotaru Hoshikawa in the art club. A spin-off reveals she and Aoba first fought over a watermelon as children. She is the shortest character in the series.
