History
|
Nei is an orphaned Elf woman who was raised by an elderly human man. Due to her unique upbringing, she has no prejudice against humans at all. After her grandfather passed away, Toppo was to first person able to make the crying Nei smile with one of his pantomime performances.
She is a talented musician and plays the bouzouki as the leader of a travelling troupe along with Toppo and Shabon. Her dream is for her troupe to have a theatre of their own in the future.
Nei's troupe would perform in Vinay del Zexay just as the War of the Champions broke out. Later, Nei would join the Fire Bringer with her troupe after Shabon was rescued from the harassment of Guillaume. Having heard of Budehuc Castle, she was delighted to move on to an area with people to bring cheer to with her performances. At Budehuc Castle, she would sometimes talk with Roland.
Following the war, Nei returned to her life of freedom, travelling with Toppo and Shabon.

Nei's theme is considered the aptly-name song "Toppo, Nei, Shabon Theme", which is played by and around the troupe in Vinay del Zexay and is reprised later during Suikoden III. It is shared across the troupe, meaning it is also the theme for Toppo and Shabon. The song is track 15 on disc 1 of the official Suikoden III Original Soundtrack.
