Nene Odagiri (小田切 寧々 Odagiri Nene) is the former Student Council Clerk and Treasurer and was one of the seven witches and Vice president of the Student Council in Yamada-kun to Nananin no Majo.

Appearance

Nene is a girl of average height with a curvy, but slim well-endowed build. She has purple hair that reaches down to the middle of the back of her neck and is braided behind her ears. While she usually lets it hang loose, she has been known to do it up in a bun and whenever she is bathing, she is always wearing a fuzzy ribbon to keep her braids in place. Like almost all female characters in the series, she has exposed ears and long hair locks in front of her ears. She has purple eyes and relatively thick eyebrows.

As "Yakisoba Bread Fairy"

In school, she wears the standard Suzaku High uniform, and in her spare time, she is usually seen wearing an assortment of dresses, blouses, and skirts. During the Performance Contest, Nene is first seen wearing the Yakisoba Bread Fairy Costume and later, the Seven Witches Costume.

Personality

Nene is often shown to have a bossy attitude and can be arrogant sometimes. Having a tsundere personality and being prideful, Odagiri is often seen snapping at people.

She is shown to have high self-esteem in what she does or believes in. In her moments of confidence, she tends to flip her hair.

However, there is a soft side to her, which develops as the series goes on. In various situation Nene was shown putting someone else before her, such as when she decides not to pursue Yamada and stay on friendly terms with him, as she knows that his feelings for Shiraishi won't change.

Later on, while talking to himself, Yamada states: "Friggin Odagiri. Worrying about stuff like that, and not even thinking about herself! Although that's Odagiri for ya..." in response to her worry that Alex was going to go through high school alone without any friends.

History

The modified memory

During the first year, Nene witnessed Ryu Yamada and Ushio Igarashi saving a girl, Haruko Nijino, who was being harassed by a group of male students from another school. Fearing that everything will get out of hands, Haruko uses her Amnesia Power to rearrange the trio's memories, intending to make them believe that Nene was the girl who the two boys saved instead of her.

However, Haruko's plan didn't go as she intended as while Nene's memory consists of her being harassed by the students, Nene managed to defend herself and that Ryu attacked the students for no reason at all. Due to this, she reported the event as what her new memory tells her, causing Ryu to be seen as an outcast to the entire campus. Feeling guilty for causing this, Nene tried to include Ryu in her group which consists of her and Ushio and sent the latter to invite him but always failed due to Ryu's hatred toward her.

A dangerous advice

The trouble was eventually cleared up when Sora Himekawa, one of Ryu's new friends, brought her and Ushio to Haruko, who is now called Nancy, and had the latter explains what actually occurred. Now understanding the truth, all of them decided to hang out together as a group of friends with their first trip together to a nearby zoo. Although she claimed to not like animals or Ryu, Sora, and Ushio's animal descriptions, Nene bought a small panda doll for Haruko who couldn't come, a sign that she treasures the friendship between all of them.

Later, after Sora confessed to her and Ushio that she likes Ryu, Nene advised her to use her Romance Power to see if Ryu likes her or not. What happened afterward remains unclear, but her memories' of the reconciliation was later erased by Haruko who was pressured by Sora for an unknown reason with the power of the ceremony.

The six gathered Witches

Sometime after that, Nene along with five female "smartest students" were gathered at the Altar Room, making her the Charm Witch capable of charming other people. Around this time, Nene also became a vice president alongside Toranosuke Miyamura. She eventually acknowledged her power, and abused it to amass large amount of followers in order for her to become the next president.

Abilities

Sewing: In the first year, Nene, along with Nancy, Sora, Yamada, and Ushio was a member of the Handicrafts club. She owns a sewing kit, which she keeps in her bedroom. When rummaging through it in chapter 164, she finds a pencil case with a nice embroidery of her name, supposedly done by herself.

Former Abilities

Charm (虜Toriko): Nene's abilities is capture. The person that she kissed will fall in love with her and she can order them to do whatever she wants. However, the power cannot be used on all people as not everyone can be charmed by her and the effect may vary from each person as while some can fall over heel for her, others may not react differently from their usual personality.
