OVA
Description
Cinnamon is a Scottish Fold catgirl with periwinkle hair, usually tied in a high ponytail with a turquoise ribbon but shoulder-length when down. Her naturally downward-folding ears match her hair color, and she possesses amber eyes. She wears a silver bell on a hot pink choker and has the largest bust size among the Minaduki catgirls. Her casual outfit is a light blue and white magical girl-style dress, paired with matching knee-length white socks featuring light purple frills, gloves with similar frills, and pink shoes with ribbons adorning her chest and tail.

She exhibits a relaxed, easygoing personality with a constant grin, often acting maternally toward other catgirls. However, she is highly sensitive to erotic stimuli, easily becoming aroused by mundane explanations or situations. This leads to unpredictable "drooling" episodes where she displays masochistic tendencies, such as enjoying being scolded or tied up; these episodes can occur even during work hours at La Soleil patisserie. Despite her cheerful demeanor, she occasionally shows low self-esteem, offering herself as a companion while resigning to being the "least loved" or citing her bust size as her only redeeming feature.

As a kitten, Cinnamon was extremely shy, hiding in corners and refusing to speak until Maple forcibly helped her overcome this. This experience forged their close bond, making Cinnamon particularly devoted to Maple. Her loyalty manifests in self-sacrifice, such as taking on Maple's workloads at La Soleil to support Maple's dream of becoming a singer.

Cinnamon arrived at the Minaduki household after Kashou left for France, with Shigure adopting the catgirls to cope with his absence. In *Nekopara Vol. 0*, she mediates conflicts among the catgirls, breaking up a fight between Azuki and Maple—though they end up swatting her breasts, an incident she notes has happened before. She also experiences arousal from trivial events, like being wrapped in toilet paper or witnessing Coconut's skills. In *Nekopara Vol. 1*, she visits Kashou's patisserie with other catgirls and later attempts to teach Vanilla about pollination and insect reproduction, but becomes aroused by her own explanations. She officially joins La Soleil as an employee after Shigure reinforces the staff. In *Vol. 2*, she works diligently as a waitress but frequently interprets conversations or situations in a sexual light. *Vol. 3* centers on her relationship with Maple; she assists Maple's music career by shouldering extra responsibilities at La Soleil and exploring their shared history. During this volume, she recalls Kashou being present when she joined the household, hinting at their early connection.

In the OVA, she participates in group activities like visiting La Soleil and celebrating Christmas. The anime television series includes her in daily routines at the Minaduki house and La Soleil, such as traveling by train to the patisserie and interacting with a lost catgirl alongside other characters.

She was inspired by creator Sayori's real-life Scottish Fold cat of the same name. Her violet hair color does not match her cinnamon namesake, a trait shared with other catgirls like Azuki and Coconut whose colors also deviate from their food-themed names.
