Movie
Description
Ena Shinonome is a high school student and the illustrator for the online music group Nightcord at 25:00. Kanade Yoisaki invited her to join after discovering Ena's artwork, which perfectly captured the imagery of Kanade's music. While her primary role is creating art for the group's music videos, she also provides vocals for some songs.
She has short brown hair, often styled with a single braid tied with a white ribbon, and brown eyes. Her typical attire is a pink frilly top with a black skirt and choker, though she later adopts a green button-up shirt with a plaid skirt. For performances, she wears a stylized dark gray school uniform dress.
Strong-willed and direct, Ena speaks her mind but is easily flustered or angered, a trait others describe as tsundere. She is intensely self-critical of her art, frustrated by a perceived lack of inherent talent—a belief reinforced by prolonged criticism. Her father, a professional artist, told her she lacked the talent to pursue art and should abandon her ambitions. A famous art teacher, Yukihira Saneatsu, also gave harsh feedback, causing her to quit his classes after over five years of attendance. Despite this, she continues drawing to prove her father wrong.
She failed the entrance exam for art school due to the psychological impact of this criticism, resulting in her enrollment at Kamiyama High School's night classes.
Ena maintains a popular social media presence where her selfies receive more attention than her art, which frustrates her. She craves recognition for her artwork and admits she struggles to create without validation, with her self-esteem partially tied to online feedback.
Within her group, Ena is straightforward and sometimes sarcastic but possesses a caring side she hides. She was initially frustrated with fellow member Mafuyu Asahina for not being honest about her feelings but later developed a sense of responsibility toward her. She once used her father's fame to help Mafuyu, leveraging his reputation to convince Mafuyu's mother to allow an overnight stay. Her relationship with Mizuki Akiyama involves frequent teasing from them, though Ena is deeply concerned for Mizuki's well-being. When Mizuki became distant, Ena organized a picnic to create a comfortable space for them to open up and stated she would wait as long as necessary for Mizuki to share their troubles.
Her best friend is Momoi Airi, whom she met in middle school after defending Airi from classmates who teased her for appearing on a variety show. They remain close, often sharing photo filters and apps, and own matching accessories like yellow cat cushions.
A significant part of her development involves rejoining the same art class she had quit years prior. She eventually confronted her father, acknowledging she might lack innate talent but declaring her unwavering determination to become an artist regardless. This resolve led to her father finally accepting her path.
Her group, Nightcord at 25:00, created a song titled "Soko ni Aru, Hikari." (The Light That Dwells Here.) to help a mysterious version of Hatsune Miku complete her song and reach people experiencing despair. This was part of a collective attempt by multiple music groups to restore hope and save the virtual singers.
