Background/History: Ene's Wiki Page Personality: “She’s really a selfish, mean, and elusive person.”
On the outside, Ene is very energetic, gives off a naive nature, and seems to always be laughing or pulling some sort of prank. She’s selfish, bossy, pushy, and generally a pain to anyone who has the misfortune of experiencing her. Even though she’s just two gigabytes of data, she’s loud and big in personality. She hides nearly everything about herself, though. Ene, as noted by Shintaro, is mysterious. No matter how much he asks, she won’t ever answer where she came from, and she’s constantly hiding her true nature. And before I forget, she’s also very curious about the world outside of her computer. She seems to long for it, even.
On the inside, Ene is as full of turmoil and doubts as your average nineteen year old would be. The big grin that she gives to Shintaro and the pranks she pulls could be considered something of an act, or a learned behavior. Inside, she’s always worried about her “master”, Shintaro, and always thinking about the past. She wonders about the details that lead up to her death and revival, and thinks about getting back at the person who was responsible for it all. After two years of existing like this, she’s become more or less okay with it, but it’s easy to say that she’s still a little bit bitter about being a mere ghost of a human, unable to touch the outside world and everyone in it.
There’s a lot that she keeps from the people around her, including the readers. Being that Kagerou Days hasn’t ended yet, and that Ene is a secretive person in general, there’s quite a few details that we don’t know about her. How she found and got to Shintaro’s computer, how she feels about Kenjirou, the person who she believes killed her, and what her plans are for the future. It was mentioned, of course, that she wants to get revenge on him, but it was never mentioned how. The biggest thing that she hides, for reasons that can only be speculated, is that she used to be human called Takane Enomoto, despite the fact that she actually knew Shintaro back then.
In life, Ene (known as Takane), was a very irritable and lazy person. She wasn’t very good in school, and she seemed to always be sleeping. She had an illness similar to narcolepsy (but not confirmed to be so) where she would fall asleep at random times, and not remember doing so. No matter how much she slept, she never felt rested either. This was one of the reasons that she was a cranky and bitter person, because she was always tired. Besides that, her irritability and stubbornness is also part of her personality, and still comes up even when she's Ene. It’s always been easy to rile her into a rage, and that will probably never change. However, she always wished to become the kind of person who could give a carefree smile and pull pranks, which probably explains her outward personality after she’s digitized.
Even then, though, Ene (Takane) was not the most honest person; neither to herself or the people around her. She was bad at showing her affection for others, and telling them how she really feels. Although she was always worried about people disliking her, and always wanted to have more friends, she still gave off a poor attitude. Coupled with the fact that she had a habit of falling asleep in the middle of conversations, it was hard to make and keep friends. At some point, she started disconnecting herself from them, knowing that they could never understand what she’s like, and feeling quite bitter towards them.
Because of her illness, she was placed in a classroom with another boy who was also sick, Haruka Kokonose. Over time, she became close to him, and they even became really good friends, despite their lonely natures. Even when she treats him badly, he never seems to take it to heart, and even seems to find her personality admirable. After a while, she came to fall in love with Haruka (though she didn't admit it to herself for a very long time). His smile, his gentle personality, all of it made her feel warm, and she loved him dearly. She still does. Ene (Takane) was always conscious his illness, since an attack for him was potentially fatal, unlike her own affliction.
Some time after meeting and befriending Haruka, Takane met Shintaro Kisaragi and Ayano Tatemiya. The high school was holding a festival where Takane and Haruka had created a "shooting gallery" which was more like a two player video game where you won if you managed to get more points than Ene (Takane), an avid (and reluctant to admit it) gamer. Shintaro challenged and antagonized her, causing her to bet that if he won, she would call him "master" and do whatever he wanted. Of course, he won, and she never really forgave him for that, but she wouldn't start calling him "master" until she became Ene. After this, Takane, Haruka, Shintaro, and Ayano became good friends. They'd eat their lunches on the roof, study together, and hang out quite a bit. Takane would talk (read: rant) to Ayano about Haruka. Allegedly, she could never stop talking about him. Ayano became her only female friend, and while she would often argue with Shintaro, she reluctantly considered him as one of her friends as well. The four led a clamorous, but happy and peaceful high school life just like that for quite some time.
However one day, while giving him the silent treatment and ignoring Haruka, he had a sudden attack, which inevitably ended his life. Even though it's likely that their teacher orchestrated it, she never actually stopped blaming herself for not paying attention to him. Shortly after, she also had an attack, separating her mind from her body. Her mind became digitized, and was given the power "Opening Eyes", while her body remained in a comatose state. Though she saw that Haruka was somehow reincarnated into Konoha, she believed that he had died, and never searched for him. When she finally did find Konoha alive, she was relieved, and even tried to talk to him just like she used to. Unfortunately, he didn't remember her, since he has amnesia. Furious, she refuses to call him by his name, and simply calls him an impostor.
After travelling through cyberspace for a year, she was mysteriously sent to Shintaro Kisaragi's computer in an email, For a year after that, she’s resided in his computer, making his life as miserable as possible. Despite the fact that she calls him “master”, tormenting him and pranking him seems to be her favorite activity. She never truly forgot that promise, but it seems like he's completely blocked it from his memory. After Ayano committed suicide on the day that Haruka and Takane had their attacks, he's completely isolated himself, and has blocked the majority of his memories of high school. On occasion, he'll look at Ene and be reminded of something from "that time", but then he'll block it out. Because of this, he has no idea of her (or Konoha's) origins.
Kenjirou was Takane and Haruka’s teacher. While she knew him, she had considered him a worthless loser, since he was so lazy and good for nothing. In reality, she probably cared for him at least somewhat, since she treated him only twice as harshly as she did Haruka, but that quickly changed on the day that they both died. Before she began her cybernetic journey, she witnessed him in a lab, viewing Konoha in a tube with her own body dead in the corner of the room. She rightfully blamed him for his and her own death, and any admiration she might have had for him disappeared. She doesn’t understand how she become data, or what she’ll do now, or even how she’ll enact her revenge. All she knows is that he’s the one responsible, and she wants to punch him in the face.
Although the narrative remains ambiguous about it, Ene does seem to know quite a few things that most of the other characters don't. She knows about the daze, and that Ayano is inside of it. And she also knows that her former teacher is possessed by an "evil" snake. It's not revealed how she actually knows this, or what she's going to do with the information, but she definitely knows a lot more than she lets on.
Abilities/Powers: In the world of Mekakucity Actors, if you die on August 15th along with someone that you're close to, you'll very likely enter the Kagerou Daze. Two years before her current canon point, she died, and her mind and body were separated. Her real body remains in a coma, while her mind gained the "Opening Eyes" ability, which makes her immortal. Essentially how it works is that in the event that she dies, she'll come right back immediately. As a digital being, this means that she can't be deleted, but when she becomes physical again, she'd be revived immediately after dying. Of course, in Haven this wouldn't be applicable. It's her only power, though. Other than that, she's just very blue.
Items/Weapons: Just her headphones and clothes, basically!
Sample Entry: A post in exsilium!Sample Entry Two: The first thing she could feel was the almost uncomfortable warmth of a blanket surrounding her entire body. It was something she hadn't felt in...who knows how long. Two years? It had been two years, right? Who is she kidding, she's practically counted the days since she died. Two years, and this is the first time since then that she's felt temperature at all. The second thing she realized is that she was
waking up, which...implied that she was not awake. Sleep is one of the things that she lost so long ago...
So of course, she bolted up, sending the blanket flying. The weight of gravity is something that also took her by surprise, and she almost tumbled straight out of the bunk bed. However, she caught herself, and managed to drag herself into a standing position-- Wait, a standing position?! Ene immediately lost her footing then and fell backwards, landing squarely on her tailbone, sending a shock of pain up her spine.
"Aaaah!" Ene could feel irritation rising to the surface now. Seriously, what was going on?! How is it possible to suddenly be here like this? How could she have feet again? This isn't even her old body! At some point during her fall, she had caught sight of her very real and not 2D electric blue hair. And...The one person she'd gotten sick of seeing for all this time... He's nowhere to be seen. The "master" who she was so fond of tormenting, the computer screen that she had viewed him through, all of it was gone in an instant. Out the window, she saw the giant sign that said "Haven", but... Nothing around her looked like a Haven at all.
Absolutely nothing was familiar, and the usually very loud and energetic Ene had no words anymore. She could only stare out the window, and towards the strangers still sleeping around her. The noise of distress she made when she realized how dire her situation was then was suddenly drowned out by the sound of her alarm clock going off. Little did it know, she was already wide awake.
"Aagh, shut up! I don't want everyone else waking up, jeez--" Oh no, was she really talking to herself? Evidently, her time spent with Shintaro had taken its toll on her mouth. She grabbed desperately for the noisy contraption to try and get it to shut off, causing a string of creative swears to erupt from her mouth. "How do you turn this off?!"
You would have thought that years spent with alarm clocks would have made this easier, but obviously two years spent
being the loud annoying thing had completely obliterated her alarm clock instincts.
Just as she originally thought, being 3D is overrated. She hadn't even been awake for five minutes and already her HP was almost drained to zero. What on Earth had she been dragged into?!
