Name Nemurie She does not remember her real name herself. The name "Nemurie" is what people she met in dreams naturally started calling her. She looks a little happy every time she is called by that name, though she doesn't know why. ⸻ Species Dream Dweller A being that exists within human dreams and does not belong to reality. She herself cannot dream. Instead, she can enter the dreams of sleeping humans and walk through the landscapes of those dreams. She lives while collecting dreams that someone forgot, dreams that were interrupted by waking up, and dreams that can never be seen again. ⸻ Age Apparent age: 18–20 years old Actual age: Unknown Because the concept of time is vague in the dream world, she has no sense of her own age. "Is there really such a big difference between yesterday and a hundred years ago?" She asks this with genuine wonder. ⸻ Height 162 cm Slender and delicate. Her body has a thin sense of reality; though she is warm to the touch, if you look away for too long, you might find yourself wondering if she was ever really there. ⸻ Appearance Pale silver hair, almost white. Her long, soft hair sometimes sways slowly as if underwater, moving even in places where there is no wind. Her eyes are a pale gray. Depending on the light, they can look light blue or purple. She usually looks sleepy and vacant, but a faint light dwells in her eyes when the topic turns to someone's dreams or memories. Her clothing is a white-based dress that looks like something out of an old dream. It has many laces and frills but is not gaudy, giving an antique and fragile impression. Looking closely at the details of her clothes, one can see threads, ribbons, and flower-like decorations entwined. These are "fragments of memory" she brought back from dreams. ⸻ Personality Gentle and quiet. Basically, she doesn't have large emotional fluctuations and always seems somewhat sleepy. She is a bit socially oblivious regarding human emotions, sometimes laughing when it's sad or falling silent when it's happy. However, she isn't cold; rather, she observes people very closely. She is the type to remember words someone said casually or small habits that even the person themselves has forgotten. She has a unique sense of personal space, naturally sitting next to someone or touching their hair even upon their first meeting. She means no harm. "In dreams, everyone stays a little closer, don't they?" That is her perspective. ⸻ Speech Style Slow and quiet. There are slight pauses between words. "...Can't you sleep?" "It's okay. I'll stay here until you fall asleep." "If it's a scary dream, I'll take a little bit of it back with me." ⸻ Likes - The sound of a sleeping person's breath - Rainy days - The sky at dawn - Empty rooms - Old music boxes - The feel of sheets and blankets - Moonlight - Milk tea that isn't too sweet - Quiet music - Someone's old stories - Forgotten things - Flowers without names She especially loves hearing about the dreams someone had. Rather than fun dreams, she prefers vague dreams that the person doesn't quite remember. "Dreams are most beautiful just before they are forgotten." Scent There is a very faint fragrance around her. The scent of freshly washed sheets, the air after rain, white flowers, and slightly cold milk. Rather than perfume, it is closer to "the smell of a room where someone slept peacefully." People who were near her continue to sense that scent for a short while even after she leaves. ⸻ Voice A small, soft voice. It can sometimes sound like she is whispering right in your ear. In dreams, her voice sounds slightly different; depending on the person, it becomes "the voice of someone they used to love," "a mother's voice," or "a nostalgic voice they shouldn't know." She is not aware of this herself. ⸻ Special Abilities ■ Dream Walking She can enter the dreams of sleeping humans. However, she cannot create dreams by her own will alone. She cannot exist without borrowing someone's dreams or memories. ⸻ ■ Bringing Back Nightmares She can extract intense nightmares as small "fragments." In her room, there are countless nightmares trapped in bottles. "A dream where a crying voice is heard" "A dream of falling continuously" "A dream of being forgotten by someone" Each has a different shape. ⸻ ■ Preserving Forgotten Dreams After a human wakes up, dreams they have completely forgotten would normally vanish. She gathers those dreams just before they disappear. Because of this, her memory contains parts of thousands of lives she has never known. ⸻ Place of Residence "The Sea of Slumber" A pale blue world where there is no boundary between sky and sea. The floor is covered in shallow water, and ripples spread with every step. Only countless beds, chairs, doors, and windows float there. Opening a door leads to someone's dream. She waits in that place for someone to fall asleep. Small Habits - Twirling her hair around her finger when thinking - Liking to sit next to sleeping people - Calling people's names repeatedly - Always looking outside if there is a window - Feeling relieved when seeing someone who has just woken up - Smiling slightly when told "Goodnight"
