- —Author
Nyaa-tan is a very bright and cheerful and kind girl. However, due to her cat-like nature, she has often acted finicky and childishly playful around others. She is very mischievous, and, and enjoys fooling around and slacking off.
Despite this, Nyaa-Tan can be very shrewd and cunning. She is very goal driven to the point where even her amnesia did not sway her from trying to achieve what she was striving for. Even though Nyaa-Tan had forgotten the reason why.
Background
Before she lost her memories, Nyaa-tan would travel a lot helping the zodiac's behind the scenes. She had a good relationship with many the zodiacs though would often tease them. Although this was more of a facade so they did not suspect what her true objectives were. Nyaa-tan was very close to Chu-tan. In fact, Nyaa-tan had given up her right to compete in the first ETM 12 so that she could help and support Chu-tan from the shadows.
Later Nyaa-tan saw this as a mistake as she saw, Chu-tan becoming more and more negative from the pressures of being not only a zodiac but being the leader that all the other zodiacs turned too. To try and help Chu-tan, Nyaa-tan secretly spent time learning the Kagura Senguu to use and heal Chu-tan's Etotama. She also again desired to become a Zodiac and take Chu-tan's place so that her friend is relieved from the stress and duties that were darkening her Etotama.
Nyaa-tan challenged Chu-tan to a battle and attempted to use the Kagura Senguu on her. Chu-tan saw this as an act of betrayal and by visual alone was able to learn and use the technique on Nyaa-tan instead, shattering her Etotama.
Nyaa-tan, however survived the destruction of her Etotama and was able to revive but without most of her memories. The other zodiacs soon learned about Nyaa-tan's condition and did their best to help and protect her from Chu-tan. Although with the exception of Chu-tan's master Shaa-tan, the other zodiacs do not know how Nyaa-tan lost her memory or why Chu-tan wants her and the cat clan destroyed.
