Nia / Nia

Sense of humor. Despite his outwardly cold exterior, Near has a sense of humor. For example, he wryly commented on Light's popularity with women while discussing Misa Amane and Kiyomi Takada's roles in the Kira case.

Childhood habits and rituals. Near often plays with toys, tugging at his hair, and sitting on the floor. At the beginning of the second season, he used LEGO figures to model situations, later using puppets, and sometimes building houses of cards.

Withdrawn and socially awkward, Near has virtually no social skills. He rarely interacts with others and has almost no friends. At Wammy's, where he was raised, there was no one he could call close.

A genius mind and an obsession with investigation, Near is one of the most brilliant minds in the series. He views each case as a complex puzzle that needs to be solved. His powers of observation and ability to simultaneously manage multiple streams of information are astounding. For example, he was able to assemble a jigsaw puzzle that was almost entirely white.

Resourceful and willing to break the rules, Nia doesn't shy away from using tactics that border on illegality to achieve his goals. For him, the outcome is more important than following the letter of the law.

Eyes: gray
Facial features: regular, with large eyes that have something mature about them. A smile sometimes appears on the face, but this is a very rare occurrence.
