* TheGadfly: Among other things, he tells Ayumu he can cure Eu's fever by dancing around in his underwear while yodeling, then blowing on her while shaking his butt in the air. He's endlessly amused when [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Ayumu falls for it]].

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/270px-Nene1_6092.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmiKoshimizu [Japanese] and Creator/StephanieYoung [English]

A yaoi doujinshi and an old friend of Eucliwood. She is also the one who drafted the concoction Chris uses to temporarily transform her back to her old self, as well as a member of Eucliwood's seven paladins.

* FirstNameBasis: With Ayumu. Kind of a big deal, cosidering her otherwise inability to remeber names.

%% ZeroContextExample entries are not allowed on wiki pages. All such entries have been commented out. Add context to the entries before uncommenting them.

* NeverMyFault: She refused to accept that the reason Ayumu revealed Maelstrom's gender [[AccidentalKiss the way he did]] was because she impatiently pushed him into the vampire ninja.

* GenreSavvy: When Eu lends her powers to Haruna (thereby allowing her to speak), she's actually ''aware'' of Ayumu's {{Imagine Spot}}s, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kltzk-04HEU AND tells him this]].

A necromancer and possibly the most powerful [[spoiler:Magical Garment Girl]] ever, able to both kill and revive a person with her voice alone. As a result, she only speaks through writing words on a notepad, and constantly wears plate armor just to prevent her powers from going out of control.

* BareYourMidriff: Her idol attire.

* BroughtDownToNormal: Still has some of her magic, but Ayumu has her Magical Garment Girl abilities (as well as the ability to wield the Mystletainn).

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Turns out she was under the control of the King of the Night.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:She's ''not'' LaughingMad and bragging about her powers anymore when Ayumu discovers she uses up souls of people she killed in order to regenerate, and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill repeatedly chainsaws away all but her last life]], leaving her a crying mess begging for her life.]]

* WoundedGazelleGambit: [[spoiler:Plays herself up as a beleaguered girl until the graveyard meeting.]]

* BigBad: For the first three light novel volumes and the first anime... [[AntiVillain sort of]]. [[spoiler:He is responsible for everything that happened starting with Ayumu's death.]]

** Delivers a one to Eu about how her powers can only cause death and misery to others, [[spoiler:all to provoke her into [[DeathSeeker ending his immortality-induced misery]]]].
** [[spoiler:He later delivers a rare remorseful example to Ayumu after being subjected to a Mystletainn Kick from him in episode 11.]]
--->[[spoiler:"In time, you will understand the hardships of living an immortal life."]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: [[spoiler:Of all things, his dying wish is to ''become'' a penguin.]]

* FallenHero: As shown in a flashback in Episode 9 of Season 2, pre-zombification he was among Eucliwood's seven most loyal paladins (and a KnightInShiningArmor to boot), who fell into disgrace after [[spoiler:killing one of them]].

-->[[spoiler:"If I die, make me a penguin. I like penguins. Forgive me, Eucliwood."]]
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:He disappears with a satisfied smile after Eu finally allows him to die.]]
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Does this to Kyoko.]]
* ItsAllMyFault: Implies this in his final BreakingSpeech to Ayumu when telling him not to blame Eu when the day comes when he understands the hardships of immortality[[spoiler:--and this is ''before'' the incident that led him to believe immortality sucks (where he killed another of Eu's paladins) is even hinted at]].
* KickTheDog: A particularly fatal moment is in episode 10, in which he [[spoiler:succeeds at what Sarasvati's subordinates had earlier failed to do when he ambushes and actually ''kills'' Seraphim. [[SpannerInTheWorks Good thing Eu was on hand to supply her blood to bring her back]].]]
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:He's the one pulling Kyoko's strings.]]

* StrikeMeDown: [[spoiler:What he wanted Eu to do.]]

* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Eu. [[spoiler:They still are, even if Yoruno already wants to die and Eu is far too unwilling to end his misery.]]
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He can't stand being an immortal zombie anymore [[spoiler:and he just wants Eu to end his misery.]]

* GenderBender: [[spoiler:Under the Queen's Curse, she becomes a middle-aged man named "Takeshi Kurusu". She can only temporarily turn back into a girl when she's drunk.]]
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Ayumu always finds her drunk. [[spoiler:This is also her only way to break free of being cursed into a man's body, if only for a while. In Episode 7 of ''Of the Dead'', her keyword for chanting spells is basically a reversed "Enjoy alcohol responsibly. Drink in moderation. Don't drink until you're twenty years of age."]]

One of Ayumu's classmates. [[spoiler:In reality, he, like Eucliwood, is a denizen of the underworld and himself a Megalo who is very much in control of his own instincts.]]

A yaoi doujinshi and an old friend of Eucliwood. [[spoiler:She is also the one who drafted the concoction Chris uses to temporarily transform her back to her old self, as well as a member of Eucliwood's seven paladins.]]

* {{Expy}}: Doesn't he look like [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Maebara Keiichi]] to you?

* {{Expy}}: Besides being a ReiAyanamiExpy, she shares a little bit of Saber from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' ([[BattleBallgown armored dress]] and [[BigEater appetite]]).

* {{Expy}}: Think of a more {{tsundere}}, more [[MsFanservice fanservice-tastic]] [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Rita Mordio]].

* {{Expy}}: Think of a more criminally sexy, more badass, more foul-mouthed [[Manga/KOn Mio Akiyama]] (with the [[Creator/YokoHikasa same voice actress]] to boot). [[spoiler:Also replace the bass with a violin.]]

* NestedOwnership: Downplayed. Seraphim offered to be Eucliwood's servant [[spoiler: so she could kill her]], but Eucliwood already had [[VoodooZombie Ayumu]] and wasn't interested in having two servants. So she became Ayumu's servant. In reality, this is just an excuse to stay around and complete her mission and she treats Ayumu like a servant rather than the other way around.

* MeaningfulName: Her surname comes from the alternate reading of "Naberius", the 24th demon of the ArsGoetia.

* LadySwearsALot: She really likes using the term "piece of shit" too much.

* UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns: Decides to turn his life around and announce symbolically "Goodbye, old "boku". Hello, new "ore"." Of course, being the ButtMonkey, it's not long before he's forced to welcome back his old boku...

* UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns: Uses the feminine "''atashi''", despite her rather tough girl personality.

* JapaneseSiblingTerminology: The Delusion Eus refer to Ayumu as "Onii-chan".

%%* GenkiGirl

%%* IdiotHair

** AlternateCharacterReading: His name is spelled 下村. 村 can be read as "son", and 下 means "under".

%%* AlliterativeName

* CatchPhrase: Calling Ayumu "Kuso-mushi (Dung beetle)", or "Maggot" in the dub.

* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: In Episode 10 she was impaled [[InTheBack from behind]] by the King of the Night. Eu, who saw everything, [[BloodMagic pricks her own finger to supply blood for her]], but Sera doesn't fully regain consciousness until she's brought back into Ayumu's house.]]
