"It's hard to look bad-ass when you're using fairy powers."
—Nanase[7]

Nanase Kitsune (狐 七瀬 Kitsune Nanase?) is a powerful seventeen-year-old female martial artist and novice magic user. She likes to read, and has a tendency to go for long periods without saying much of anything, before having plenty to say. She is a strong-willed character, although her mettle was tested when she realized that she was a lesbian. She was in the closet to everyone except her close friends and her girlfriend Ellen until her mother walked in on her and Ellen kissing during the last storyline of the Sister II story arc. Mrs. Kitsune appeared to be accepting of this but, to Nanase's annoyance and anger, said it was just a phase.

During Sister II, Nanase underwent a large change in her personal appearance, cutting her hair short, to rebel against her mother. Her hair also turned black with dark red highlights after she went "Angel" and burned out her magic for an indefinite period of time. Her hair grew long again in an impossibly short amount of time, apparently as a side-effect of her being burnt-out. Nanase's hair has been cut again after she visited Tedd during Summer , though it is not as short as it was when she first cut it during Sister II it is only to her collarbone .

History

Sister 2 Nanase

Nanase's traditional appearance, before her haircut and magic burn-out.

Before comics

There are two important parts of Nanase's life from before she first appeared in comics, although it isn't clear which was first, or whether they were at about the same time.

One is the Trip to France, where she met Susan and was awakened by French Immortals.[8]

The other is her dating a large number of men during school, unable to find the right one. One of them, Gerald, commented on her date with Ellen with "You were bound to run out of men in this school eventually."[9]

Breaking up with Elliot

Nanase first appeared in the comic when Elliot took Sarah to see the ASMA Dojo.[10] She and Elliot had a sparring match to show Sarah what the ASMA dojo was like.[11][12] When the fight was over, Nanase kissed Elliot, like she did at the end of all their fights,[13] and then realized the Elliot was using her so he could reject Sarah's feelings without having to talk to her. After Sarah ran out, Nanase confronted Elliot about the incident and slapped him for being so cowardly.[14] Nanase then broke up with Elliot[15] because she knew he loved Sarah, and they were hardly serious in their dating (in fact, they were little more than friends with minor benefits).[16] She also wasn't attracted to Elliot and Justin later commented that perhaps this was because men were not for her,[17] but Nanase angrily denied it.[18]

Meeting Ellen

It feels a little unfair to Nanase, but it seems that the rest of her life is defined by her relationship with Ellen.

Near the end of Sister, Susan called Nanase so she could help fight the goo monster.[19] When Nanase arrived Susan quickly explained what was happening;[20] Nanase then sent her colour clones to distract the goo while she told Ellen that she wasn't going to die.[21] After told Ellen that, the goo restrained them[22] and almost killed them but Grace saved them with her telekinesis.[23][24] Once the fight was over and everyone was back at Tedd’s house,[25] Elliot selected her to talk to Ellen and make sure she was all right.[26] After a touching heart to heart, Nanase managed to convince her that everything was all right.[27]

The next day, Nanase went to visit Justin at the comic book shop, and was shown to be a quite popular person.[28] While there, Justin sensed that Melissa was coming, and Nanase volunteered to pretend to work there while Justin hid.[29][30] After Melissa left, Nanase spent the rest of the day with Justin.[31]

Struggles with Ellen

In late February Nanase, on Elliot's suggestion,[32] sent her fairy doll[33] to invite Ellen to hang out with Justin and herself.[34] They went to go pick a movie from the movie store;[35] while there, they bumped into Susan, and the group decided to go see movies at Susan’s house.[36] All that time, we see signs of Nanase having feelings for Ellen,[37][38][39] which she blamed on Ellen's FV5 pheromones.[40][41][42] While at Susan’s house, Nanase decided to talk to Susan about those feelings.[41][43] Susan revealed that Ellen did not have pheromones and Nanase's feelings were real;[44] Nanase did not take this well, and used her fairy doll form to escape to Elliot’s house.[45] While she was seemingly unconscious, Susan panicked and told Ellen and Justin about their conversation.[46] After having a talk with Elliot about being a lesbian and her fear of her mother,[47][48] Nanase returned to her body[49] and spent the rest of the night watching movies.[46]

During the Events of Painted Black, Nanase went with Ellen and Grace to rescue Elliot from Damien.[50] After sneaking in with Grace using her fairy form,[51] her fairy doll was knocked out when Vlad found them and attacked.[52] She later led Ellen to The Nest[53][54] and managed to find Elliot.[55] While there, she fought with Vlad,[56][57][58] but was defeated by his sonic shriek.[59] Nanase returned to a fairy doll form and led a team sent by Edward Verres to the nest.[60]

When Elliot invited her to Grace’s birthday party,[61] Nanase accepted the invitation.[62] She planned to use her male form as an excuse to be attracted to Ellen without raising eyebrows, but after thinking it through, she realized that the plan might not work.[63] Susan arranged for Nanase to pick Ellen's clothes for the party.[64] Once everyone had had their genders changed, Ellen ranted to Nanase about how Sarah complained.[65] Nanase hugged Ellen to comfort her and said she would be there for her.[66] During the karaoke event Ellen sung a song about wanting Nanase to come out.[67][68] Later Ellen told Nanase about her second life alternate's relattionship with Archie[69] and how it made her realize that she didn't want to be in a relationship with a man.[70][71] Nanase then changed back to her female form[72] and told Ellen that she was gay, and by the end of the party they were officially a couple.[73]

Secret relationship with Ellen

After the party Nanase was angry with Justin for keeping it secret that he and Ellen knew that she was a lesbian.[74]

Nanase's mother chastised her for not spending all her free time on homework.[75] When Nanase asked why she cared about school if she wanted her her to be nothing other than a homemaker, her mother punished her for her lack of submissiveness.[76]

Nanase was unsure if she could be in a relationship while in the closet and asked Ellen if she could.[77]

When Ellen arrived at school for the first time, she swatted at Nanase's hair,[78] which made Nanase angry as she thought they had to pretend that they were strangers.[79]

Around that time Nanase was disappointed that the new spells she got were sneaky so she used magic often in order to get more spells.[80][81] Ellen suggested hiding less from her mother, specifically her clothing preferences.[82] Thus Nanase went to the mall[83] for a makeover.[84] Nanase had a haircut and Ellen asked her to use her new hair spell to grow back her ponytail[85] and said that she should have told her that she was planning to have a haircut,[86] which caused Nanase to storm off in anger.[87]

When Abraham came to kill Ellen, Nanase overheard his confrontation with Adrian Raven.[88] After Abraham defeated Raven[89] and knocked out Nanase with a sleep grenade,[90] Pandora woke her up.[91] Nanase then fought Abraham to protect Ellen.[92][93][94] She gained a new, non-sneaking spell directly due to her actions - guardian form.[95] She defeated Abraham[96] and persuaded him not to kill Ellen.[97]

The use of guardian form always causes a magical burnout, which includes temporary loss of ability to use magic and often is accompanied by hair or eye color change, in Nanase case her hair turning black. Due to her being already close to burnout from other spells, her burnout was more severe than normally, expected to take months instead of usual day.[98]

When Nanase woke up in the hospital, Agent Cranium said that her family must not be told what had happened. Nanase wanted to tell them[99] but Cranium persuaded her to keep it secret on Nanase's mother's vehement orders.[100] Nanase mother caught her kissing with Ellen.[101] She called it "just a phase" but apparently wasn't too annoyed by it.[102]

After coming out

During the events of the second part of Hammerchlorians, Nanase was called by Susan after Susan had summoned a fairy doll. Nanase said it was likely running off Susan's subconscious similar to how Nanase's Fox summon did.[103]

During the events of the first part of New and Old flames, Nanase learned that Greg was closing the dojo[104] due to lack of students.[105] Nanase was sad that she couldn't use her magic and couldn't make a comeback at the dojo when she got her magic back.[106]

During the events of the One Way Road storyline, Nanase revealed not only a new outfit, but she also revealed her new, long hairstyle. Nanase made plans with Ellen to have another date, but they were interrupted by Gerald.[9] After he left Grace appeared[107] and needed relationship advice, leading to a double date with Nanase and Ellen being proposed.[108] Nanase tried to get out of it but, could not resist Grace's puppy dog stare.[109] After Grace left, Nanase said she really didn't really know much about Tedd other than the fact that he was weird and her mom treated him like a sad lost puppy.[110] The next day at Salty Crackers, Nanase complained, much to Justin's surprise, that Ellen did not care about the men that Nanase had dated.[111] When Nanase told her mother about her double date with Grace and Tedd, Mrs. Kitsune told Nanase that she had to look after her cousin, whom she saw as little more than a child, as Nanase knew more about relationships than Tedd.[112]

On the night of the date, Nanase and Ellen drove up to the Verres house, but stayed in the car for a while to kiss before they picked up Grace and Tedd.[113] While at the restaurant, Nanase apologized for picking a restaurant where one of her ex-boyfriends, Gary, worked.[114] At the bowling alley, Nanase overheard Ellen talking about looking towards the future and not dwelling on the past. Gerald showed up to mock Nanase again,[115] but he backed down when Tedd yelled at him while the girls stood menacingly.[116]

On May 31 Nanase invited Ellen to babysit her sister Akiko together.[117] While they were babysitting her Akiko said that she wanted to date girls when older,[118] which led to a discussion about love and attraction.[119][120]

During the There be Whales Here, Nanase and Ellen started solving mysteries as Meddling Teenagers.[121][122]

Christmas and after

In End Of An Era Sarah asked Nanase for advice on breaking up with Elliot and staying friends.[123]

In Family Tree, after solving a mystery, Nanase and Ellen get invited to a party by Rhea, a college student.[124] At the party, they found out that Diane is Rhea's adopted sister[125][126] and that she was born ten minutes before midnight on new years eve,[127] which was twenty minutes before Susan, so Nanase and Ellen concluded that Diane and Susan are twins and Susan is adopted too.[128] Nanase and Ellen also met Charlotte, who is the person who told Rhea that Ellen and Nanase might solve the mystery of the haunted locker room,[129] and who knew about Abraham's attack.[130]

The party was turned into a trap by a magical enemy (Not-Tengu)[131] who has targeted Nanase as part of his revenge on her Aunt Noriko (Tedd's mother.)[132][133] With Ellen's help,[134][135] Nanase defeated not-Tengu.[136] But Diane and Charlotte now knew about Nanase's and Ellen's powers.[137][138] Edward said that it is important to keep Noriko secret from Tedd and at first refused to explain why but then said that Tedd would become mute again if he learned about her.[139] Two days later Nanase complained to Ellen about having to keep secrets.[140] Nanase wanted to ask Edward why they had to keep Noriko secret from Tedd[141][142] but Ellen believed Edward's explanation.[141] Nanase also suggested telling Susan that she might be adopted but Ellen wanted to wait to give Susan's mother more time.[143]

In Playing With Dolls, Susan asked Nanase to make a fairy doll looking like Susan for her to summon[144] so they visited Tedd.[145] Nanase found out that Tedd's basement is full of temptation.[146] She experimented with height change,[147][148] created several dolls for Susan[149][150] and got watches[151][152] she certainly planned to show to Ellen later.

Nanase's next appearance is in So a Date at the Mall, when she returned to Charlotte (and Rhea's) place with Diane, ostensibly to solve another mystery, but really to be with Ellen some place away from Elliot while he's on a date (or possibly keep Diane away).[153] The mystery was a non-human cloaked figure[154] or two.[155] The mystery figures they were searching for turned out to be two griffins[156][157] - Dame Tara and Andrea - and after Elliot and Ashley met Dame Tara[158][159] Nanase, Charlotte, Ellen and Diane joined them[160] and helped them find Andrea.[161][162][163] In the process, Nanase was told she has royal blood[164] and spilled the secret that she thought Diane is Susan's sister to Elliot and Ashley.[165] She asked Ashley for questions and Ashley answered that she wouldn't ask any since they had just met,[166] which made Nanase suspicious because Ashley seemed too nice.[167] After finding that Cheerleadra needs to be contacted differently than Elliot with the fairy doll spell[168] Nanase met Elliot and the griffins to talk more[169] and found that there is another half of their Universe.[170]

Diane was attacked by a vampire because of her magic affinity for vampire hunting,[171] which made Nanase want to tell Susan about Diane and the possibility that Susan was adopted even more than she already did[172] and she told Diane[173]

In Sister 3 Nanase asked Edward about Diane and Susan, and he told her that they are not twins and Susan is not adopted.[174] Nanase and Ellen told Susan about Diane.[175] When Sirleck possessed Ellen he lied to Nanase about a paranormal incident at the college to get her out of the way.[176][177] When Nanase realized that Ellen was missing she contacted Ellen's parents and they formed a search party and Nanase flew without a care for secrecy during the search.[178]

Nanase stopped keeping her hair transformed to see how her mother would react to seeing evidence of her magic.[179]

When Nanase was invited to a party to introduce Ashley to Elliot's friends,[180] she hoped that it would help her get over her suspicion of Ashley.[181]

At the party Nanase made a fairy doll and changed its clothing with a new spell[182] to show it to Ashley. When she showed the fairy to Grace, Grace questioned why the fairy wore skimpy clothing and Nanase explained that she thinks sexy clothing is cool.[183]

When Ashley arrived for the party she at first failed to recognize Nanase[184] because Nanase had stopped transforming her hair.[179] When Ashley asked why Nanase used to keep her hair transformed Nanase explained that she transformed it to hide the hair color change when her burnout ended and expressed her approval of Ashley asking questions.[185]

When Nanase showed Ashley her fairy doll with skimpy clothing and offered to let her hold it, Ashley reacted with embarrassment[186] as she thought Nanase seemed to be hitting on her. Nanase became increasingly desperate to impress Ashley.[187]

When Susan walked away while Diane hugged Sarah,[188] Nanase followed her and asked what was wrong. Susan answered that Diane made her feel like a waste of space.[189] Nanase reassured her that Diane's ability to seem cool is superficial and realized something about herself.[190] When Sarah tried to shrink Elliot from behind, Nanase said that Elliot should shrink Sarah as punishment.[191] Nanase later told Ellen that she had realized that her complicated feelings about Ashley were because Ashley wasn't impressed enough by her to ask questions.[192]

When Tedd and Diane were arguing whether magic should be kept secret, Nanase said that secrecy is isolating to those who have magic, which made Ashley cry[193] because she was drifting apart from her friend Liz for that reason. That led Elliot to encourage Ashley to tell Liz about her secrets[194] and Grace to suggest telling Rhoda and Catalina about magic.[195]

When most of the group were transformed by the mirror door, Nanase was transformed into a large Grace.[196][197]

Relationships

Elliot

Nanase began dating Elliot some time before the The Goo story line; however, she left him once she realized his feelings for Sarah.[15] She didn't seem upset when leaving him, describing their relationship as friends with benefits.[198] and later explained that she felt no physical attraction to him while they were dating.[17][47] The two of them remain friends, and trained at the Anime Style Martial Arts Dojo together until it closed.[199][104]

Tedd

Nanase and Tedd are cousins,[200][201] but they don't seem to be very close. When Grace decided to go on a double date, Nanase and Tedd found it awkward to meet each other.[110][202] Tedd used to call Nanase his "ugly cousin".[203][204]

Justin

Nanase often hangs out with Justin in the comic shop where he works.[205][206][207][208] He occasionally teased her that she might be gay (something he felt he had rights to do without insulting her since he is gay),[209][210] something that she (ironically) got mad about on multiple occasions[211][212] prior to the Night Out story arc, when she realized that she was indeed a lesbian.

Ellen

During Ellen's battle with the Goo, Nanase was able to calm her down (because, due to Elliot's memories, Ellen remembered dating Nanase) and explain to her that she wasn't going to die.[213] When Ellen was crying because she couldn't be Elliot,[214] Elliot chose Nanase to comfort her,[215] which she did.[216][217]

After Ellen joined the regular cast, Nanase began to feel attracted to her and chalked it up to Ellen's permanent V5 status.[218][219] After learning that Ellen had no V5 pheromones,[220] Nanase realized that she really was a lesbian.[221] This made her uncomfortable around Ellen until the Grace's Birthday Party arc, when she came out to her friends and confessed her feelings to Ellen.[222] The Ellen/Nanase shippers rejoiced. The two began dating in secret to avoid the disapproval of Nanase's mother.[223]

During the climax of the Sister II arc, Nanase saved Ellen from Abraham,[224][225] ultimately learning a powerful new spell,[226] nearly dying, and temporarily burning out her magic in the process.[227][228] Shortly after Nanase woke up, the two shared a kiss. They were caught by Nanase's mother,[229] who elected to tolerate what was happening.[102] The two now date openly.

Note that their figure is similar enough they can wear each other clothes.[230][231][232][233]

Susan

Susan was the one who revealed to Nanase that Ellen had no V5 abilities and therefore was also the person who helped her to realize her true orientation.[220] It was later revealed during the Hammerchlorians story line that their friendship went back to the trip to France,[234] where Nanase saved Susan from the aberration[235] and they later worked together to kill the aberration. Susan suspected Nanase was a lesbian due to the fact that Nanase was immune to mesmerization by the aberration, but Nanase denied it until Night Out.[236]

Sarah

Nanase first met Sarah at the ASMA Dojo[237] and, after seeing Sarah's reaction to her kissing Elliot,[238][239] broke up with Elliot so he could be with Sarah.[15][198] During Grace's birthday party Sarah played Cupid for Nanase and Ellen.[240] Despite Sarah's occasional jealousy[241] she grew to like Nanase[242] and asked her for advice when she wanted to break up with Elliot.[243]

Grace

Nanase first met Grace at Moperville North when they fought the goo. Grace saved both her and Ellen that day,[244][245] which made Nanase grateful for her presence there.[246] Later, after the Painted Black arc, Nanase and Grace were able to sympathize with each other, as they both had recently undergone personal revelations.[247]

Mrs. Kitsune

Mrs. Kitsune is Nanase's mother. She is apparently willing to make Nanase miserable to keep her knowledge about magic secret.[248]

Mrs. Kitsune used to give Nanase the impression that she hates lesbians, which was the main reason Nanase feared the thought that she was in love with Ellen.[249] However, when Nanase was caught kissing Ellen, appeared to be accepting of her, though saying it was only a phase.[102] It's possible Mrs. Kitsune still drops hints she don't expect the relationship to last,[250] on the other hand maybe Nanase just misestimates her reaction again.

Mrs. Kitsune forces Nanase's nose to the grindstone with her studies, despite apparently intending her to grow up to be a housewife.[251][252]

Mrs. Kitsune thinks Nanase's abilities are ideal for babysitter[253] or homemaker.[254] That or she didn't tell her daughter what she's training her for ...

Nanase used to disguise what she was wearing from her mother by wearing large floppy clothing over the top, as her mother apparently wouldn't approve of her choice of outfits.[255] In Sister II, Nanase confessed to her about what she really wears, which made Mrs. Kitsune apparently less angry than Nanase thought she would be.[256]

Akiko

Nanase has a good relationship with her sister, Akiko. Akiko gave her cookies when her mother forbade it,[257] and Nanase takes babysitting Akiko seriously.[258] Akiko says she wants to be a lesbian like her sister,[259] but she is probably unaware of what that truly means, as she is only 8 years old.[260]

Diane

Since Nanase became convinced that Diane was Susan's sister,[261] Nanase has felt an obligation to protect her.[262][263][264][265] Possibly this is magnified by guilt, as Nanase saw Diane as a pest for most of the time they have known one another.[266][267]

Magic

Nanase experienced her Awakening while in France with Susan as the result of Immortal intervention, which gave her access to her magic spells. Sensei Greg described her as the most powerful fighter in the Dojo next to himself.

Anime Style Martial Arts

Strength and Movement

Thanks to her martial arts training, Nanase possesses unnatural strength and is capable of quick and physics-defying movement.[268][269]

Illusions

Nanase can disguise herself with an illusion that changes how people around her perceive her.[270] She can also make her hands and/or body glow in order to make herself look cool.[271] This, too, is part of ASMA training.[272]

Multicolor Illusion

Multi-Color Technique

Also known as "Mahoh no Supekutoru" (魔法のスペクトル Mahō no Supekutoru?, Magical Spectrum), a technique mastered by Nanase, which may[273] or may not[274] be an actual spell. It allows her to create illusions of herself while in battle. The illusory duplicates are intangible and disappear in a puff of smoke upon contact, existing for the sole purpose of distracting or confusing an enemy.[275] Three of them can be created each in one of the colors of red, green, or blue. Nanase herself is colored whatever the complementary color to the active color or colors is, allowing her to pretend to be one of her illusory duplicates when two of them are active.[276] Each color is associated with a particular personality:

    • Green - playful
    • Blue - "crybaby"
    • Red - violent

Spells

Nanase is currently learning more spells as she becomes more adept with magic.[277]

Flight

Nanase is capable of magical flight,[15] which gives her the aerial advantage when fighting.[278] Glowing is an optional part of the flight spell. At one point, she used the spell in the presence of a Physics teacher, much to said teacher's chagrin.[279] And based on Diane's comment, it probably wasn't only time she was "floating around" in school.[280]

Fairy Doll

Nanase in fairy doll form discusses the spell with Grace.

If Nanase is familiar with a person and their location, she is able to create a miniature fairy doll of herself near them to communicate.[281] She is able to leave a trail of glitter in doll form. She retains her fighting abilities whilst in doll form; however, her physical strength is scaled down accordingly (unless she is casting Fae Punch, which is a spell isolated to the fairy dolls: it is a short-ranged projection of a standard punch, but it's HER standard strong-by-training punch, so it's tough).

Main article: Nanase's Fairy Doll

Visibility spell

Nanase can temporary sense how many people can see her and how many are looking.[277] Note that the spell actually isn't limited to people: Nanase suspect that it counts even animals,[282] although it's also possible it detected Magus.

Seeing her body when Fairy

As upgrade of fairy doll spell, Nanase can watch her real body using a crystal ball substitute.[283] She has done so using a marble, but it is unclear what constitutes a "crystal ball" under the conditions of the spell.


Clothing Exchange

A diagram explaining how the clothing exchange functions

Nanase's Clothing Exchange spell is capable of "trading" any piece of clothing Nanase is wearing for another piece, as long as she knows where the traded clothing is located. The spell also produces a gust of wind, even indoors.[284]

Decoy Summon

An early test of directly controlling Fox

Nanase is capable of summoning a duplicate of herself, which she has nicknamed Fox.[285] Fox's personality is based on whatever emotion Nanase was feeling when she summoned her. Nanase is also capable of controlling Fox directly, although she has said there is "a steep learning curve" to avoiding Fox speaking Nanase's thoughts aloud, or toppling down stairs. Nanase used Fox for its original purpose when fighting Abraham,[286] however it seems she found other uses as well.[287] Fox can beat Nanase in Mario Kart, which Diane and Charlotte had interesting explanations of ... unless it was just luck.[288]

Hair Transformation

The hair transformation spell is capable of instantly changing Nanase's hair length, color and style.[289] It's possible using this spell long-term causes her actual hair to grow more quickly.[290]

Fae Punch

As upgrade of fairy doll spell, Nanase can project burst of kinetic energy from fairy (or something like that). In her own words: "short range, no stronger than a punch ... but they're my punches".[291]

Guardian Angel

Due to Nanase's acts of passion and self-sacrifice against Abraham in the Sister II arc, she gained this new spell.[292] Through it, Nanase manifests with an angel-like appearance, with large feathered wings and tail-like appendages that can deflect blows,[293] and with her whole body seemingly glowing white.[294] Based on Charlotte's research, the spell is variant of guardian form.[295][296] It is apparently fairly powerful, but not as powerful as one might think, as Abraham has a reputation for being an utterly incompetent mage[297] and the guardian form was no match for Not-Tengu[298] as long as he had access to excess ambient energy.[299]

Fairy clothes choice

Originally, the newly created fairy always wore the same outfit when it first appeared—a weird pink full body suit. Nanase has learned to choose different outfits for the first appearance.[300] It still needs to be "simple", but Tedd didn't explain what that means... while her spell book is likely to explain it in too much detail. It is noteworthy that Nanase didn't notice this upgrade despite otherwise keeping attention on her spellbook.

Fairy clothes change

At some point shortly before the Ashley Introduction Party [301], Nanase learned a spell that lets her change the clothes on a fairy doll she is inhabiting. She can only create outfits based on clothes she actually owns and has somehow prepared.

Nanase's mind

Nanase recently joined the part of cast who has anthropomorphic personifications of different sides of her personality. Hers are angel and devil who appeared to decide if she should trash-talk Diane to Susan.[302] They appear considerably more distinctive than Diane's. Interestingly, Nanase's angel side is completely different from her Guardian form.
