Myne

Myne (マイン Main) is the protagonist of Ascendance of a Bookworm.

Appearance
She has long blue hair reaching to her back, where the fringe is swept to her right and large golden colored eyes.

History
Before the start of the story, Myne was a very sick girl that rarely ever left her house. Myne had barely ever participated in neighborhood social events, so the local children considered her a rare monster with a low encounter rate. Due to the Devouring, her personality and most of her memories were eventually completely eroded and replaced with that of her previous life as Urano Motosu; the series follows the new Myne from Urano's full emergence onward.

Personality
Eva describes Myne before her "death" as being jealous of Tuuli and only happy when she was "dreaming of another world". After her memories were subsumed by Urano's, her mind became a hybrid of Urano and her original self, retaining her love for her family but developing an energetic and book-obsessed side to her personality, bemusing the other villagers for both her odd obsession with literacy (for a peasant) and inventiveness. Each time she sees blood or death-related situations, she faints.

Story
In the first chapter, Myne nearly dies to a fever and is overcome by memories of her past life.

Trivia

 * Due to her stunted growth, people sometimes mistake her to be around 3, and her sister Tuuli to be around 7 or 8, but their age difference is only by one year.
 * Myne's final memories before being subsumed by Urano were "...It's so hot. It hurts. I hate thiiis..."
 * Myne had dreams of Urano's world, where she could run and play and eat all she wanted. Myne wanted to sleep forever so she could stay in the other world.
 * Urano has remarked that Myne has exceptional, close to pitch perfect, hearing.
 * Myne's favorite fruit is Raffles.
 * The direct translation of her name is M-A-I-N, but the pronunciation and canon spelling is Myne. You may see either depending on the translation.
