Character Information: Sumiregawa Nenene
Japanese: 菫川(すみれかわ) ねねね
Seiyuu: Satsuki Yukino
In the Read or Die novels, Nenene is a high school student. She loves to write and read books. She is a very good author and people love the books she writes. A boy who really liked her because she was so cute, tried to kidnap her. But Yomiko saved her. Hence how they met.
Nenene is deeply connected to Yomiko Readman. Nenene used to help Yomiko stay organized with her life. In the first scene of the OVA, there are many notes scattered around Yomiko's room. They are all reminders and are signed, "Nenene." For example, one is "Deposite this NOW! -Nenene".
In the R.O.D-the tv- anime, Nenene is 22 years old. She is an author. When she was 13 years old she debuted with her first novel, called "Kimi wa boku o shitteru" ("You Know Me"). She is now a best selling author. She has a very high pride, so she is very stubborn at times, but she is funny. The way she talks is a bit eccentric. She has a deeper side though and is the type who gets sad and blames everything on herself.
Nenene lives in a flat in Tokyo. Nenene's parents live in America. Her father is a programmer.
Name
For Nenene's family name, "sumire" means violet and "kawa" (which can also be written as "gawa") means river so "sumiregawa" means "violet river."
As for her given name, "nee" or "ne" is a confirmation and is at the end of the sentence. It indicates that the speaker wants the listener to agree or confirm. It is similar to English expressions "don't you think so", "isn't it?" or "right?". So "Nenene" is "right? right? right?".
