Ene

"Ene" (エネ) is the sixth member of the Mekakushi Dan. She was once human, known as Takane Enomoto (榎本 高根), but was later turned into a computer program.

Appearance

 * In Artificial Enemy, Ene is shown with long teal hair and blue eyes. She has a blue and white jacket and a blue and black skirt. She is also wearing black leggings/boots.


 * In Headphone Actor, Ene is shown as the human Takane with black hair and red eyes. She wears a black jacket with several yellow stripes adorning the sleeves over her hot-pink shirt. She also wears a black gas-mask and silver headphones, as well as black shorts with hot-pink sneakers.


 * In Kisaragi Attention, Ene makes a short cameo in the beginning with her newer refined appearance. In the end, she is hinted to be talking to Shintaro from his phone.


 * In Children Record, Ene is seen with a dark blue jacket with white stripes going up the arms. She is wearing a black skirt and black boots with her feet non-existent and scattered to resemble pixels. Her hair is pulled back by her headphones. Takane is also seen with black hair and hazel eyes, wearing a silver headphone, a creamy long-sleeved shirt and a purple and black striped skirt over shorts with black shoes.

Personality

 * Ene is a naive, often cheeky, cyber girl who started living inside of Shintaro's computer as a virus, after she arrived in a mail of an unknown sender. She can invade anything that uses electricity, and goes out of her way to annoy Shintaro - but is also reflective when her pranks go out of hand. She usually renames the folders on his computer, changes his passwords, and lots of other similar things. Although she can be deleted from his computer, she will reappear as soon as he connects to the Internet again. She also has some familiarity with the sister of Shintaro, Momo. Momo does not seem to dislike her, since Ene does not live in her own computer, but she became kind of mad at her for suggesting something about yuri between Momo and Mary.


 * When she was still human, Takane used to be frustrated about her illness which would frequently cause her to faint, hence why she was always crabby. After losing her human body and becoming data, she became much more cheerful and extremely noisy instead.

History

 * She was once a human, but somehow lost her body in an experiment. When Shintaro asks where she came from, she claims to not know, though she says this without a shred of seriousness.


 * Takane was a citizen of an experimental city. When the need for the city ended, the scientists in charge destroyed it with a bomb. Takane managed to escape the bombing, only for her body to be destroyed. She was reborn as a cyber girl. This however was proved to be false.


 * When Takane was alive, she lived with her grandmother. She was the second best in the country at shooting games and secretly known as 'Senkou no Maihime, Ene' (Dancing Princess of the Spotlight, Ene). At her school's cultural festival, a young Shintaro challenged her to the shooting game, which she and Haruka made for the guests that came to their booths. Takane promised him that if she loses, she would become Shintaro's servant and even call him her master. Shintaro got a perfect score and won, but he decided to just forget about the deal.


 * Takane was known to have a disease that made her faint at random times. Although it was nothing serious, she was put in a special class together with Haruka.

Eye Ability

 * Opening: Ene's ability is the "Opening Eyes" ability, which give her the ability of immortality.

Relationships

 * Takane Enomoto - Enomoto Takane is Ene's past human self who underwent a 30 minute fixed-time "escape" from her home to nearby hills one day after an eerie message concerning the "end of the Earth" was broadcast on TV. Takane was then given a count-down timer in the form of a mysterious voice in her headphones, who is believed to be Ene conversing with her past self - that being Takane. At the end of the PV, Takane suceeds in reaching the hills before the time limit. At this time an unseen (by the viewers) third-party then tosses a bomb and destroys her town. As this occurs Takane hears Ene tell her that she is "Sorry."
 * Shintaro - Ene's "master". She enjoys playing mischievous pranks on Shintaro (often messing with his system, re-naming his files and the like), but she does care and worry for him and his thoughts over her. She regularly gets in (or starts) one-sided quarrels with him.
 * Konoha - As seen in the first novel -In a Daze-, Ene is shown to have known who Konoha was during the accident on the streets and was prepared to chase after him with Momo when he was brought away (with another injured pedestrian) in an ambulance. They are both hinted to be cyber beings. Ene remembers Konoha as a video game character her friend Haruka created, when in fact Konoha is actually her deceased crush, Haruka Kokonose, in another body.
 * Kenjirou - Takane's and Haruka's former teacher. He was one of the scientists involved with the experimental facility.
 * Azami - Azami once appeared before Takane and called her a "little girl". She said that there is no place for her anymore, but Takane strongly wanted to make a place for her current self to live on. Azami said that she must open her "eyes" to achieve that.
 * Ayano - In the novel, she became friends with Ayano before she became Ene. Ayano told her that she should express her hidden feelings about Haruka to him.
