No. 6/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

* [[Adorkable]]: Often.

* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]}}

** He also violently attacks {{spoiler|Rikiga when the older man makes a pass at Nezumi}} and later {{spoiler|kills a guard point-blank in the head after he shoots and injures Nezumi}}.

 

A cynical young man with a dark past. He was {{spoiler|saved by Shion when they were younger, only to return the favor years later.}} Due to his experiences in No. 6, he hates most everything about the city and its people, and is perfectly willing to watch it fall.

* [[A Boy and His X]]: With his mice.

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: As his local theatre was swift to notice, Nezumi makes a ''really'' good-looking woman.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Blueish, grayish, off-purpleish, depending on your point of view.

 

Shion's childhood friend and a fellow resident of No. 6. Like Shion, she's a child genius - her expertise is the human brain and to a degree, psychology. Also like Sion, Safu begins to show doubt about the utopia that is No. 6.

* {{spoiler|[[Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence]]: She becomes a physical medium for Elyurias.}}

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: She is given a much larger focus in the Anime than in the original novels.

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Shion flat-out states in the novels that while he treasures her as a friend, he does not and cannot return her romantic feelings. Aside from Shion's [[Ho Yay|attachment to Nezumi]], circumstances just do not work in her favor.

 

One of the residents of the West Block outside of No. 6. Inukashi, quite literally "Dog Keeper," is a brash, often dangerous individual who spends their time either renting out their many dogs as heaters during the winter or collecting items to sell from an illicit contact within No. 6's correctional facility. They have a very violent, volatile relationship with Nezumi, but Nezumi still often goes to them to gather information - for a price.

* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: ''Assumed'' by some to be female, based on their small stature, nice legs, and one mention of 'softness' when they were hugged, however official information does not give a definite answer one way or another.

** [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Treated by the other characters as male, until used as bait to lure in a No. 6 higher-up: Shion, trying to comfort Inukashi afterward, wonders if his friend might actually be a girl. The rescued baby from episode 10 also calls Inukashi "mama". Even so, Inukashi never personally discusses their gender identity, so there's no way to know.

* [[Tsundere]]: Only towards Shion.

 

Shion's mother. With Shion, she was sent to live down in Lost Town where she opened up a bakery. She and Nezumi contact one another through strips of paper brought by mice.

* [[Chick Magnet|Dude Magnet]]: She has a lot of admirers...

* [[Hot Mom]]: In the anime, anyway. The novels describe her as chubby/overweight.

* [[Mysterious Past]]: At least one photo of her exists with the Founding Members of No.6. She also knew where Rikiga was likely to be in the West Block.

 

One of the residents of West Block. He runs a prostitution service which allows him a life of luxury in comparison to other residents. At one point, he wrote articles regarding No. 6.

* [[Cowardly Lion]]: He really ''doesn't'' want to get involved in Shion and Nezumi's plans, but does so anyway.

* [[Fan Girl|Fanboy]]: He really likes Eve, Nezumi's stage persona. He's less charitable towards Nezumi, given that well, it's [[Jerkass|Nezumi]].

* [[Parental Substitute]]: He ''tries'' to be this to Shion from time to time, given that he's still attached to Karan.

 

One of the residents of No. 6, and a resistance fighter. Yoming first begins to suspect something is amiss in the city when his wife and child mysteriously disappear. He takes interest in Karan after Shion's disappearance.

* [[Conspiracy Theorist]]: Luckily (or unluckily), the conspiracy is ''real''.

* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]: Though starting out with the intention of avenging his family's death, he eventually descends into creepy and unwanted advances on Karan and gleefully planning to incite a mob bloodbath on No. 6's founding anniversary. He ends as another victim of the birth of the wasp.}}

 

* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]

* [[Everything's Worse with Bees]]: Elyurias occasionally appears as a giant one.

* {{spoiler|[[Symbiotic Possession]]: Though forcibly implanted into Safu, they do not seem to bear each other ill will.}}
