Nekone

Nekone is Ukon's younger sister from Ennakamuy and a prodigious scholar who passed the imperial examination at a younger age than anyone before her, earning the title "Scholar of Philosophy." Her age keeps her from being appointed an official scholar. She speaks with rigid formality to appear more mature, but is fond of sweets and intensely attached to her older sibling.

Nekone specializes in ancient civilizations. She and her brother belong to a fallen noble house, giving her familiarity with noble etiquette.
