Important announcement
Hi, guys! I thought I’d let you all know that I’ve made the decision to move Nao to a multimuse blog, where she shares the spotlight with several other characters. This blog will be kept up as an archive only, so you’re free to unfollow if you wish. I hope to see you over at the multimuse!
I will either find a way, or make one.
Perhaps thankfully for Nao, Reika hadn’t quite recovered enough yet herself to give her another in character line, and simply nodded her head. “Y-yes, let’s do that.”
As flustered as she was, Reika still took care in escorting Nao into the building. The stairs were a bit tricky in heels, she imagined, especially since Nao wasn’t accustomed to wearing them outside of Precure form. Her grip was firm, yet gentle, as she helped guide her childhood friend up the stairs, and into the ballroom.
The costume party was already in full swing, with music playing, and people milling about. Glancing over towards Nao, Reika gave her a small smile. “It’s much more lively than the prince’s palace, isn’t it?”
Getting sucked into Cinderella like that had been quite the experience.
Nao wasn't even surprised when her childhood friend decided to help her up the stairs without her saying anything about it, though she wondered if her clumsiness with heels was that obvious or if Reika was just going the extra mile in her role - she could also be doing a simple kindness, of course. Whatever the case, not only was Nao very thankful for the help, but it was also certainly flattering to be escorted to the ball by such a dashing prince.
It made her feel a little more like a real princess, and for that she was grateful too.
Lost as she was in such thoughts, it took the green haired girl a moment to notice that she had been spoken to. “Ah, yes, it is,” she agreed, returning Reika's smile, “though the prince's palace still had its charm. I didn't feel like there was a crowd missing or anything, to be honest, maybe because I was focused on you.” It took her another moment to realize what exactly she'd blurted out, and her cheeks heated up once again when she did. “O-Oh, but a lively place is good too, I guess.”

What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?
There are days that getting home to see her younger siblings full of energy and eager to play immediately makes her feel better, but there are other days in which even someone as extroverted and active as Nao needs some time alone. She usually likes to read manga, listen to music and play videogames then. Eating something sweet and taking a good nap help too, too - and whether or not she feels like being alone, she always ends up calling Reika.
Would you say that they have a superiority-complex? Inferiority-complex? Neither?
Neither, I’d say Nao’s self-esteem is pretty balanced. She’s confident in herself, but not to the point of it being too much - at least usually. She tends to be overconfident when it comes to her rivalry with Akane, and she could do great in History tests if her mindset wasn’t basically “I suck at this and I’m gonna fail”.
2 and 10!

Do they have any daily rituals?
Yes, she does. Nao is in charge of preparing her own lunch and her siblings’ as well, and it’s something she does every night after dinner so that they can be taken to school the next morning. She also sings to Yui (her youngest sibling) every night, since her little sister is a really restless baby.
Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?
No, she doesn’t have any. (I assume this question meant neurose as a disorder but I could be wrong?)
33?

Concept of home and family?
To Nao, “home” isn’t just limited to her family’s own house. If she has her family with her, it doesn’t matter all that much where they are, since it’ll always feel a little like home. She considers the Smile Precure’s secret base to be a sort of home as well.
As for her family, her immediate relatives (parents and younger siblings) are those who are most important to her. She thinks of her fellow team members as being a part of her family, too. The four feel like sisters to her, though this isn’t so true for Reika - it used to be when they were younger, though. As for other relatives, like grandparents or aunts and uncles, I don’t think she has all that much contact with them, but it’s nice to see them during Christmas parties and whatnot.

I honestly can’t quite believe that it’s been a whole year since I made this blog. I still remember how nervous and insecure I was about roleplaying Nao, but between then and now a lot of things have happened - not only did I become more confident in my portrayal, but a lot of other people seem to enjoy it as well! I lost count of the number of incredibly kind confessions that have been made about this blog (and my others, too), I got the chance to make wonderful friends, my love for Nao increased with each interaction and I’ve had a lot of fun. I can’t thank you all enough for sticking around despite my inconstant activity and I hope the years to come are just as wonderful as this one was.
Without further ado, here’s a list of especially amazing people! ♥

Tiny Lost Fairy Boy (Magic Anon, Open RP)
“It does.” Seiji nodded his head, a grave expression on his face. It would have been a very serious expression indeed, were he not a cute little fairy at the moment, and therefore, the atmosphere he gave off wasn’t entirely the one that he wanted. “It’s where the Precure who are defeated by the Precure Hunter are sent to.”
“Ah, and yes.” At the change of topic, Seiji’s expression cleared up a little, nodding his head once again. “He is. As for what kind of person he is… well, I guess he’s nice?” He frowned a little, folding his tiny arms in front of his chest, closing his eyes. “He’s not a bad person, but he’s sort of… well, I think there’s a lot of things he’s not saying.”
“I see.” Nao nodded gravely at Seiji's answer, although she was a little distracted by his adorableness - trying to look serious just made this tiny fairy all the cuter, and she couldn't help wanting to snuggle him. She quickly got back on track, though. “I've heard about the Precure Hunter before, but I can't recall any news coverage on the Precure Graveyard... Is it hidden from normal people or something?”
“Hm, God seems to be keeping a lot of things to himself?” She inquired after a moment, blinking a little, although her expression soon became serious and focused. “That could be troublesome. I believe that people should strive to be fair and honest, especially in a situation like this. My kouhai have God as a mentor of sorts, don't they? If that's the case, he definitely shouldn't be keeping anything from you guys. You need to know what you're fighting against, you deserve to, even. Have you ever talked to him about that?”
Another library (fleuret-of-hope)
Nozomi watched with content Nao interact with Karen. They seemed to get along, despite only exchanging a few words. But that was enough for Nozomi to make her happy. She wanted to help Nao make many friends to help her transition into the school better.
After Karen returned into her meeting, Nozomi turned to Nao, smiling with happiness and eagerness. She was awaiting to hear Nao’s thoughts so far about her friends and the tour, but Nozomi noticed she wasn’t returning the smile. She didn’t look quite happy, but Nozomi guess that she must feel overwhelmed or nervous to transfer schools.
“Is everything okay, Nao-chan?” Nozomi asked. “What do you need to tell me?”
Before Nozomi could pry further, the floor shook beneath Nozomi and Nao’s feet, prompting Nozomi to almost lose her footing. The rumble was immediately followed by a monstrous roar–one that made Nozomi’s blood run cold.
Without wasting a second, Nozomi dashed to the nearest window, hoping that it wasn’t what she thought it was. Of all things, Nozomi doesn’t want Nao to get involved with her legendary warrior duties. It’s far too dangerous and she could get hurt!
But once Nozomi scanned out the window, her fears were confirmed to be true. There was a Hoshina rampaging around outside, destroying property and sending students scattering. Nozomi whipped her head to face Nao, her cheerful face replaced with a serious one.
“Nao-chan, you have to run! You have to hurry and get out of here!”
“Ah, well, about that...” Nao began to answer, feeling her resolve waver somewhat as she tried to search for the right words to explain herself without giving too much away, “I'm not actually going to -”
She broke off when the floor shook below her, thankfully managing to keep her balance, but before she could even find the time to wonder what the heck was going on there was a loud, frightening roar.
The green haired girl wasted no time in running towards the nearest window, closely behind her new friend, looking outside only to see a giant monster wrecking the campus and scaring the students. It wasn't an enemy that she recognized, but it was an enemy nonetheless - and ruining a beautiful, peaceful place like that was unforgivable! Nao began to pull out her Smile Pact on instinct, all but forgetting about Nozomi until the other girl spoke up.
“I've got to get out of here? But what about you?” She protested immediately, as there was no way that she'd ever let a friend get harmed; still, she had a secret to keep... “I'll do as you said, Nozomi-chan. Be careful, too!”
With that line, Nao dashed off at an incredible speed, running down staircases and corridors alike until she found herself outside, transformation item ready in her closed fist; how she'd even managed to find the way out of that huge building on her first try was beyond her, but it honestly didn't matter right now.
“Precure! Smile Charge!” She shouted without so much as stopping to catch her breath, landing in the usual pose when the transformation was complete. “Intense courage, a straight up bout! Cure March!”

Just a Dream (@windymarch)
A soft smile graced the face of the blue haired girl, as Reika reached out to brush a stray hair out of Nao’s face. Her tone still gentle, she withdrew her hand, a look of concern remaining in her blue eyes. “It’s alright, Nao. You don’t have to apologize for having a bad dream.”
“You’ve covered in sweat after that dream- why don’t we head to the bathroom, and splash your face with some nice cold water? I could wash your hair if you wanted as well.” Reika spoke, making sure that her tone wasn’t urging or demanding in any way. Let Nao do what Nao thought she could do today.
“I’ve been practicing my scalp massage lately.” Reika told her with a small smile. “Mother says it feels quite good. I would love it if you could give me your opinion as well.”
Nao blinked the last few tears away, then nodded shakily at her childhood friend's remark. Honestly, she wasn't quite sure if she'd meant to apologize to Reika or to her younger siblings - probably a bit of both, now that she thought about it - but either way, dwelling on it wouldn't help her any. Apologizing to the dead didn't bring them back, after all.
“Oh, yeah, that sounds like a good idea.” Nao took a moment to respond to the blue haired girl's suggestion, sitting up slowly and then swinging her legs over the edge of the bed. She was quite grateful for the change of topic, but - “Wash my hair?” She repeated, blinking a little.
“Ah, so you've been practicing your scalp massage? I'd love if you could give me one, then.” She said after hearing the explanation, getting up and rubbing the sleep off her eyes.
Nope, she wasn’t giving in. No way. Akane was about to keep complaining about Nao cheating the whole thing but the word ‘loser’ hit her harder than it should hit. Frowning, the fire PreCure looked for the football inside the net and walked over the penalty arc. Leaving the ball rest there.
“Ya’re the next one in the goal, Nao!” The redhead yelled, pointing towards the structure with her left arm. Several seconds would be needed to pass to let the orange PreCure calm down and focus again. No way she was going to let her get away with it.
Stepping on the ball, she crossed her arms and stared, determined, at her friend. “Ready? Ya won’t see it, anyway.”
Still grinning to herself, Nao watched as her red haired friend went to fetch the ball and placed it on the penalty arc. She couldn't help but roll her eyes when Akane practically yelled at her to go the goal, though.
“I get it, calm down.” She replied, walking over there with quick steps and positioning herself in the center, then returning her teammate's intense gaze. If truth be told, the green Precure wasn't all that great at the goal due to usually playing in the offense, but she wasn't about to let that stop her!
“I'm always ready, Akane.” Nao said, fixating her eyes on the ball. “Bring it!”
Sudden Childhood Blues! (@windymarch)
The enthusiasm that her tiny childhood friend displayed honestly brought a smile to Reika’s face. It was exactly as she had remembered- the way that Nao would get excited about anything and everything that interested her, and made no attempts to disguise it. Considering that Reika had been a more emotionally withdrawn child, it was always something that she had liked about her childhood friend.
Seeing it again in full force somehow made her happy, filling up her heart with fond memories of childhood.
“Yes, it’s pretty big, isn’t it?” Reika followed behind her, looking towards the house. “Nobody really lives there- but it is a secret base of sorts. The secret base of the Smile Precure. That is to say, me and the future you, and all of your friends.”
“Do you want to go inside?”
“Yes, yes it is!” Nao nodded eagerly in agreement, her gaze fixated on the house. It wasn’t a house like those she was used to seeing, but rather a tree stump with a small door and a mushroom roof - in other words, it was like something out of a fairytale, as was everything in this place. “A secret base?” The little girl repeated after Reika’s explanation. “That’s so cool!”
At the following question, Nao turned towards the older version of her best friend, a wide smile on her face. Not only had she learned that she’d be a super hero in the future and gotten to visit a place as magical as the Mysterious Library, she’d get to see things from up close too. This was better than meeting both Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny!
“Oh, yes, please!” The little girl replied excitedly. Unable to keep still any longer, she bolted for the secret base’s door a moment later and stopped in front of it, glancing back towards Reika. “C’mon, Reika-oneechan!”
Aftermath
“Yes, I did recieve my powers from Earth’s deity. I call him God, though. I believe there are hundreds of us out there now thanks to him,” Tsubasa said. She remembered the day she received her powers. She had simply approached God when he was visiting Cure Robin. The encounter wasn’t very remarkable.
“I wonder how the Happiness Charge Precure are dealing with the new monsters,” the blonde wondered. They were fine, right? But then there was the issue of the cages…
“Wait, how were you able to open the cage? That thing doesn’t disappear easily,” Tsubasa asked. Her first time trying to open one of those was anything but graceful.
“Oh, I see. And yes, that must be true - apparently he granted powers to girls all over the world, so of course our numbers would increase. I’d love to meet some of the international Precure sometime…” Nao trailed off a little, wondering if perhaps she should use the Mysterious Library for that end. Before she could come to a decision, though, Tsubasa spoke again.
“Oh, as to that, they’re probably doing just fine. They’re kind-hearted girls, after all, and their bonds are strong.” The green haired girl said, giving her fellow Precure a smile, though she blinked at the following question. “Well, it’d probably have been easier if I had had a key, but I managed to figure out how to open the lock with some magic.”
It was probably a good thing that Nao had looked away from Reika for the moment, otherwise she would have seen her blue haired childhood friend’s face stained entirely crimson. For a moment, she felt so warm and flustered that she was almost certain steam was rising from her face, her mind reeling at Nao’s words.
“T-thank you, Nao.”
Were they going to do this exchange of making one another terribly flustered all night? Honestly, that seemed to be the case- and in spite of herself, Reika couldn’t exactly fight the effort to send kind words the way of her friend, even as she felt her heart pound inside of her chest.
For just a moment, Reika’s thoughts strayed, and she found herself dwelling on Akane and Brian, the transfer student, of all things. Before she really had a chance to wonder as to why, they were at the door, and were greeted by a man seeking to see their invitations.
“Ah, y-yes. Here.” Reika pulled out her own, her blush fading somewhat.
Nao continued to look at the floor, trying to breathe slowly and slow her heartbeat, until Reika spoke up - thankfully it wasn’t an in character line this time. Still, the sight of her childhood friend with such reddened cheeks was a rare one and the green haired girl felt even more embarrassed, quickly lowering her eyes again.
“Um, you’re welcome, Reika.” She said quietly, her gaze not leaving the floor.
In hindsight, perhaps it would’ve been better to keep such a comment to herself, but then again, Nao had always been one to voice her thoughts - especially around Reika. They were best friends of many years after all, so such a thing was only natural, right?
Besides, in spite of her embarrassment, Nao truly thought that the other girl was dazzling - though she didn’t quite know what to make of these feelings herself. Before she could think any more on it, they arrived at the door and showed their invitations to a security guard, who checked their names off on a list before stepping aside to let them through.
“Well, let’s go inside then?” Nao said, not quite able to speak in character due to how flustered she still felt. Despite this, she was very excited and couldn’t help but smile brightly at Reika as they entered the building.
His trembling didn’t stop even as Nao began to speak to him, though judging from the slight twitch of his bat wings, he had heard her loud and clear. Swallowing a little, he withdrew from himself a little, glancing slowly over towards Nao- though he flinched again as there was another loud rumble in the background.
“I-” He opened his mouth to speak, but his words came out in something of a fearful croak. Swallowing, he tried to narrow his focus down to this conversation, wanting to focus on anything but the fearful thunderstorm that was roaring around them, and the stinging pain the sight of the lightning’s flashes left surging through his back.
“S-shopping.” He stammered out. “Present for R-Rikka.”
“Oh, I see.” Nao said, nodding her head at the explanation. She found herself thinking of Cure Diamond upon hearing that name, but there was little reason for her and Ira to know the same person - especially with Rikka being a common name - and so she pushed the thought aside to focus back on the conversation at hand.
“Is this Rikka a friend of yours?” She asked gently, giving the tiny boy a smile. He was obviously deeply afraid, but he was trying his best to answer her in spite of this - and honestly, Nao had to hold herself back from mussing up his hair. Instead, she decided to continue speaking after a moment. “You were looking for a present for her, then? That’s really nice of you! What were you planning on buying?”
