Nui Harime

Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Dark Blue
Occupation: Grand Couturier
Affiliation: Revocs Corporation

Nui Harime is the Grand Couturier of the Revocs Corporation. She is known for her cute appearance, sadistic yet childish nature, and incredible fighting power.

Nui appears to be a young teenage girl of medium height. She has long blonde hair styled in drill-like pigtails, with smaller locks framing her face. Her eyes are sapphire blue, with highlights that resemble a smiling face. She wears a richly adorned pink lolita-styled dress with matching boots and fingerless gloves. She accentuates her ensemble with a parasol, a large pink hair bow, and a purple eyepatch. Her design has a prominent heart motif, such as on her collar, the center of her bow, her earrings, and even the highlights on her pigtails.

Nui has a childlike, jovial, and happy-go-lucky demeanor; always smiling, and acting very friendly and even polite with everyone, demonstrating excessive intimacy towards even Satsuki Kiryuin. According to Ragyo Kiryuin, Nui is free-spirited and will do whatever she wants according to her whims. Her bubbly behavior and nonchalance towards anyone that stands in her way often puts her at odds with the main cast, and can easily become bored while she playfully seeks violence to a sadistic degree. When she finds herself injured or outmatched, she becomes more frantic, obstreperous, and aggressive, dropping all manner of her cheerful demeanor. She holds heavy grudges against some people.

Throughout the series, Nui has displayed several powers, abilities, and skills:

• Regeneration: Nui can regenerate from any wounds and even lost limbs almost instantly, regardless of their severity. The only exception to this healing power is if her entire limb is cut with either the Scissor Blades or two weapons forged from Bazukan.

• Mon-Mignon Prêt-à-Porter: Nui can create replicas of herself that can fight her opponents or act as a distraction. Although identical, the duplicates are far less powerful than the original, relying on their superior numbers.

• Infiltration and Disguise Skills: Nui appears extremely skilled when it comes to mimicry and infiltration. She was able to completely disguise her height, hairstyle, gender, and voice almost perfectly. She was also able to create fake student data, which appeared genuine upon inspection, but disappeared immediately when discarding the disguise. The only clue to her true identity that she could not change was her eyepatch, which she instead covered up. She also appears skilled at puppetry and ventriloquism as she was able to use lifelike puppets to intimidate the One-Star students.

• Piloting Skills: Nui is a skilled pilot, as seen when she hijacked Satsuki's personal helicopter.

• Fingernail Hooks: The bottom edge of Nui's fingernails is lined with small hooks that can catch threads. She can use these hooks to grab and remove Banshis from uniforms.

• Scissor Blade: Nui's signature weapon is one half of a giant pair of scissors. The blade is capable of cutting otherwise indestructible Life Fibers. Her skill with the blade is equal, if not superior to that of Ryuuko's own. Like Ryuuko, Nui can alter the shape of her Scissor Blade. During the S.S. Naked Sun battle, she converted her blade into a large, double-sided scythe.

• Superhuman Physical Prowess: Nui possesses immense physical strength, speed, reflexes, durability, and endurance. She can handle herself exceptionally well in battle, being able to effortlessly fight against the Four Devas, who were all wearing enhanced, Three-Star Goku Uniforms, fight on even grounds against Kamui-wielding fighters such as Satsuki Kiryūin and Ryuuko Matoi, and easily defeat the Nudist Beach forces.

  Master Sewing Skills: Being a Life Fibers/human hybrid and the Grand Couturier, Nui has a deep knowledge of how Life Fibers clothing is made, as demonstrated when she effortlessly spotted and removed Sanageyama's uniform's Banshi, dismantling the uniform. Likewise, she altered the Kamui Junketsu to be worn by Ryuuko by sewing the Kamui's Life Fibers to Ryuuko's own for the Kamui to possess her, making it extremely difficult for it to be removed from her body. She can sew high-quality garments, especially Life Fiber-based with ease, even after losing her arms as seen by her completion of the Shinra Koketsu.

  Razor Tape Measure: Nui used a measuring tape with retractable blades during her attack on Isshin Matoi's lab. It was destroyed by the Scissor Blades.
