Nekone, younger sister of the influential political figure Oshtor, is thrust into Yamato’s civil war after her brother’s death, when Haku covertly assumes Oshtor’s identity to lead the loyalist faction. Unaware of the ruse initially, she later uncovers the truth and becomes a pivotal confidante in Haku’s secret, forging a layered alliance with him as he steps into her brother’s role. Prone to self-doubt and questioning her value during crises, her fragility contrasts with Haku’s protective demeanor, which echoes her brother’s guardianship, compelling her to view Haku as a figurative sibling. Born into Yamato’s military aristocracy, her standing in the conflict is deeply entwined with her brother’s legacy. She engages actively in wartime strategy and diplomacy, including high-stakes negotiations between Ennakamuy and Tuskur, where her presence signals her political weight despite internal turmoil. A critical juncture arises during these talks as Tuskur’s princess, Kuon, clashes with Haku, forcing Nekone to navigate tensions between allies and adversaries. Her journey centers on balancing grief with growing reliance on Haku’s leadership. Though haunted by Oshtor’s absence, she adapts to a partnership where she both depends on Haku’s direction and critiques his choices—a duality highlighted when Haku defends her independence to comrade Kiwru, emphasizing her right to self-determination. Interactions with figures like Anju and Kuon position her as a mediator between factions, blending fragility with resolve amid conflict. Her narrative traces a path from mourning sibling to an active force in Yamato’s fate, persistently grappling with loyalty, loss, and identity amid political and personal upheaval.
