Description
Neptune, also known as Purple Heart, is the Console Patron Unit (CPU) of Planeptune. Her character embodies a fictional Sega console, taking her name from the cancelled Sega Neptune hybrid. This connection remains nominal, not a direct hardware personification.
Originally from Celestia, Neptune fought in the Console War alongside fellow CPUs Noire (Lastation), Blanc (Lowee), and Vert (Leanbox). Deemed the greatest threat, the other goddesses defeated and banished her to Gamindustri. Crash-landing caused amnesia, and she was found by Compa, a nurse-in-training. This began her journey to rally allies against threats like the goddess Arfoire. In *Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2*, the villainous ASIC syndicate captured Neptune alongside other CPUs, requiring rescue by their sisters—Nepgear (Neptune’s sister), Uni, Rom, and Ram. Later, in *Victory*, laziness led to her exile by advisor Histoire, displacing her into the Ultra Dimension’s past.
In human form, Neptune displays a carefree, impulsive demeanor, acting without considering consequences. She exhibits klutzy tendencies and indulges in gaming and her adored pudding. She harbors a severe phobia of eggplants, disrupting her abilities. Despite laziness, she possesses a strong sense of justice and fiercely protects loved ones, especially Nepgear. She frequently breaks the fourth wall, acknowledges her protagonist role, assigns nicknames, and invades personal space—particularly teasing Noire.
Transforming into Purple Heart via Hard Drive Divinity shifts her personality: she becomes serious, strategic, and observant, with a deeper voice and heightened confidence. This form initially bordered on arrogance, contributing to her early defeat. Over time, she tempered this pride but retained playful quirks like fearing spiders or shrieking at unexpected erotic content. Physically, Purple Heart grows taller (164 cm) with a curvier physique, long braided hair, blue eyes, and a skintight black-and-purple combat suit.
Neptune wields a sword in human form and an ōdachi as Purple Heart. Her signature attacks include "Cross Combination" (aerial slashes), "Critical Edge" (ground impact strikes), and "HDD: Neptune," transforming into a fighter jet firing missiles or a Wave Motion Cannon. She utilizes Share Energy—faith from Planeptune’s citizens—to sustain powers and immortality. Anti-Energy or Share depletion weakens her significantly. Her "Next Form" (later games) enhances abilities, featuring lighter purple hair and a redesigned suit with increased exposure.
Neptune’s closest bond is with her younger sister, Nepgear, whom she protects unconditionally. She forges friendships across dimensions, including Uzume (Zero Dimension) and Plutia (Ultra Dimension), and collaborates with allies like IF and Compa. Her dynamic with fellow CPUs evolves from rivalry to mutual respect, though she continues teasing Noire. Development across media shows growing maturity: in *mk2*, she sheds some laziness to support Nepgear; the anime adaptation depicts her treating responsibilities more seriously. However, *Victory* depicts regression into laziness and insensitivity, underscoring her ongoing struggle with duty.
In light novels and drama CDs (*Megami Tsuushin*), Neptune undertakes quests like aiding Blanc during Christmas or thwarting ASIC. She later awakens dormant goddesses Plutia and Peashy and assists Rei Ryghts despite risks. Drama CDs reveal everyday facets—fear of spiders, attempts to soothe allies to sleep, and humorous incidents like distracting her husband during gaming. As the protagonist of the *Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation* anime, she navigates interdimensional threats alongside her Ultra Dimension counterpart. Spin-offs like *MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies* cast her in collaborative roles, such as filmmaking with Blanc. Beyond main game titles, she appears in idol simulators (*Producing Perfection*), tactical RPGs (*Hyperdevotion Noire*), and crossovers (*Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls*), consistently showcasing adaptability and leadership.
