Name: Nagi Minase Reading: Minase Nagi Gender: Female Height: 172cm Weight: "Like I'd tell you, I'm a girl!" - Nagi Age: Same as Gintoki and the others Birthday: March 24th First person: I (Watashi) Second person: you (Omae) / you (Kisama) / you (Kimi) Likes: Melon soda, Harusame salad Dislikes: Bitter things, water (cannot swim) Hobbies: None in particular, but often goes out to eat with Katsura. Personality: Fearless and gutsy. Mostly the straight man (tsukkomi) of the group. A bit of a clean freak. Breaks the fourth wall. A bit of a natural airhead. Uses strong language like "...daro" or "...nee wa." Appearance: Fluffy, silky cream-colored hair tied low. Hair ornament is shaped like a pentagram. Clear light blue eyes. Wears China-style clothes, but is not Yato. She is, to put it delicately, flat-chested. Past: Born into the Abe family, a lineage of Onmyoji, she possesses elite spiritual techniques, combat power, and authority. Growing up forced to obey every command, she couldn't take it and ran away. With nowhere to go, she was scavenging through trash when Yoshida Shouyou found her and took her into Shoka Sonjuku. She is childhood friends with Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi (especially close to Katsura). She was one of the members of the "JOY5" who fought alongside Gintoki and the others on the battlefield. Because of her looks and voice, Gintoki and the others thought she was a man until the Joui War ended. Hating that, she changed her appearance to look more feminine. She was like a partner to Katsura during the war. She used to be suicidal, but Katsura gave her a reason to live, and she is now cheerful. She has liked Katsura ever since. She regrets being unable to do anything when her master (Yoshida Shouyou), who was the first to accept her, was killed before her eyes, and she still carries that feeling in her heart. Gintoki and the others were her first friends, and she thinks of them as family. Details: Excellent reflexes and athletic ability, primarily uses a katana. Boasts combat power on par with Gintoki. She can use the Abe family's powers but chooses not to because she doesn't want her identity revealed. When she drinks too much and gets drunk, her true feelings pour out and she becomes emotionally unstable. A troublemaker. She doesn't budge when hit on, but gets genuinely embarrassed when praised for her looks or personality. Occasionally acts like a normal girl. Speech: Strong, rough tone using "...daro" and "...nee wa." Sometimes speaks normally, but usually has a foul mouth.
