Nana Astar Deviluke

Nana Astar Deviluke is the twin of Momo and sister to Lala. She is the second princess of Deviluke. She has the ability to speak to and understand animals. Out of all the main female cast she has shown the least attraction to Rito, regarding him as a "Beast". Even so, she has shown slight affection to Rito, with the notion that she has tried to sleep in his bed with him. In To Love-Ru, she used to be seen with Momo all the time, but in To Love-Ru Darkness, they are not together as often as before. This is because while Momo becomes more attached to Rito, Nana became friends with Mea Kurosaki, whom she hangs out with more often. Although Mea is a transformation weapon and has difficulty accepting the notion of friendship, she eventually becomes more open with her feelings to others through her friendship with Nana.

Appearance
Nana has long pink hair and purple eyes. In both To LOVE-Ru and To LOVE-Ru Darkness, Nana has pig tails. Like all Devilukeans, Nana also has a long black tail at her back, and like her sisters, she has a spade-shaped tail end. Nana also has a smaller bust than Momo which the she is teased about by her younger half. When Nana is fighting, her pupils become thinner and pointed.

According to VMC, her measurements are completely unknown, though this could just be their rude way of showing they don't notice her as opposed to her sister, whom they idolize.

Personality
Somewhat tomboyish, Nana is short-tempered and impatient, much unlike her twin sister. But underneath her brash, overreactive and angry behavior, Nana is actually very kind, helpful, cheerful and even loving. She has an open, sincere, and somewhat childlike side of herself that makes her cherish her friendships very much, which also makes her easily heartbroken when those friendships were ever lost or betrayed, such as with Mea, whom she considers her first true and closest friend.

Despite her tomboyish personality and temper, Nana has her vague charm that has even impressed some of the most mindless of individuals. Mea is an excellent example of this; When Nana was talking about how the two birds were going to fly west, Mea was astonished and amused when she found out that Nana could talk to animals, being fully accepting of this odd trait. Before, Mea was just a mindless being that was sent to Earth. Before she met Nana, Mea was following Nemesis's orders without question. Because of Nana's "charm", Mea has opened up since and has become best friends with her.

She can be very brave whenever her friends are in trouble. Examples of this event are when she risks her own life just to save Haruna and her dog, when Mea is trying to scare her away, or when a little monkey is about to get hit by a truck.

Nana hates being teased by Momo because of her flat chest. While Momo possesses a developed figure similar to their elder sister and mother, Nana is far less developed and is very sensitive about the fact. Momo passively and playfully teases her about it, but Nana occasionally becomes upset about it.

Nana seems to dislike anything lewd and impure, mostly referring to Rito and calling him a beast because of his bad habits. Originally, Nana was one of the few girls who didn't have any feelings for Rito, but eventually his kindness starts to grow on her, like when he helped her rebuild her friendship with Mea and hugged her in the process, which she remembered felt very good. Because of this, Nana developed a tsundere side to her when it comes to Rito. Sometimes when she is denying something, she makes a certain outburst (mostly involving Rito), and her pig tails seem to rise up.

Nana slightly matures over the series, as pointed out by Momo, and grudgingly notes that Nana might be surpassing her. When Lala was attempting to kiss Rito, Nana advices her that Rito has some complicated thing he needs to deal with first before the kiss. This shows that Nana has some concern over how Rito might be feeling. And because she avoids and denies love most of the time, she has taken more time to think about and examine her own feelings more carefully, which gives her a better understanding of how Rito feels about his complicated relationships at the present, and she may understand love better than even Momo.

Biography
Ever since childhood, Nana and Momo always fought. Whenever they fight, their older sister, Lala, would always make a way for them to make up, and for Zastin not to be angry with them. An example of this is when they were children, and Momo and Nana were fighting. Zastin scolded them for fighting, but Lala caused her inventions to run amok then asked for Nana and Momo's help to catch them, so that Nana and Momo will work together, and so that Zastin would direct his anger towards Lala instead. Nana first made an appearance together with Momo in Chapter 97 of the To LOVE-Ru manga. They were responsible for the Trouble Quest, an RPG game that they programmed to see the true character of Lala's friends. After seeing that Lala had great friends surrounding her, they returned to Deviluke. A few chapters later, they went back to Earth after escaping from Deviluke and their studies. However, they forgot that Zastin was also staying on Earth, and was instructed by Gid to bring the twins back home. They tried escaping, but when Nana and Momo started fighting each other, Zastin, Maul and Smutts were able to catch up to them, and a battle ensued. It was revealed that Nana and Momo also have D-Dials, but instead of gadgets, they were able to summon plants and animals, respectively. In the end, they defeated Zastin and his henchmen, and they convinced their father that they're going to stay on Earth with Lala.

During Nana and Momo's stay in the Yuuki household, they created their own house in the attic using space distortion. They also took care of all their necessities to avoid bothering Mikan for cooking, cleaning, etc. However, they still come down sometimes to eat Mikan's cooking.

Throughout the series, Nana unconsciously develops affectionate feelings for Rito. Of course, she consciously dislikes him and thinks of him as a beast! Because of this, Nana usually has dreams of Rito "sexually" advancing towards her and she screams out "You beast!" in her sleep. Whenever she's asked of the situation, she glares and says, "Oh that Rito.....he's a beast!" and says no more. At this point in time, Nana was completely confused whenever her sister said, "Oh, I can always be Rito's mistress".

In To LOVE-Ru Darkness, Nana, along with her sister, become Sainan High's students, she makes friends with a girl named Mea and she gets shocked whenever Mea admits something perverted to Rito. Eventually, the friendship between Mea and Nana becomes very strong; however, Mea turns into her semi-weapon form and tells Nana that their friendship was not real! Nana was petrified and traumatized after she saw Mea's true form and personality.

Rito tried to console Nana. When that didn't technically work, Rito embraced Nana. With that hug alone, Nana finally realized what she had to do. She had to approach Mea and "open her heart". Obviously, Mea used her semi-weapon abilities to scare off Nana again; however, Nana has shown a huge amount of courage and she faced the heartless semi-weapon. Nana stood there boldly and she confessed her care for Mea. This somehow opened Mea up. Finally, Mea understood what a friend truly was. This part of the story has shown Nana's bold bravery against something quite deadly, and this has shown Nana starting to open up to Rito. In fact, she even tried to sleep in Rito's bed afterwards.

Powers and Abilities
She shares a connection to animal life, and has the ability to communicate with them. She would always use a D-Dial that her sister made for her to summon animals and milk whenever she needs them. Like her sister Momo, she i also has the ability to shoot lightning.

Like her sisters, Nana also becomes weak whenever someone touches her tail. This weakness is usually taken advantage of by Momo whenever they get into fights. However, Nana also possesses the Devilukeans' superstrength and their bloodlust, making her very dangerous in battle.

Nana can be athletic as she is very good at sports, even being asked to join Sainan High's swimming club.

Lala Satalin Deviluke
Nana has shown very high respects and love for her sister, calling her "Ane-ue". They both excel in sports and get along quite well together, though sometimes Nana would get a little upset with her for her airheaded personality. Nana also shows respect for her when she scolds Momo for sleeping in Rito's bed, saying that Rito is Lala's fiancé, despite her annoyed feelings towards him.

Momo Velia Deviluke
Nana's most active and noticable relationship is with her twin sister Momo. While the two love each other and are often seem spending time together, they are naturally polar opposites. From an early age they have always been fighting and it was only through the efforts of her elder sister Lala that there relationship remained good. Although the twin sisters often squabble with each other over trivial things, they do love each other deeply. In To Love-Ru, they are often seen together and often plan mischievous things together, such as the virtual reality games, and running away from home to escape their studies together.

Nana envies Momo for having larger breasts than her, something that Momo doesn't hesitate to tease her about. Although Momo  may have some reasons to be jealous of Nana, the only time she has ever shown jealousy towards Nana was when Rito hugged her, which is something Momo had never recived from him.

In To Love-Ru Darkness, they both enroll in the same school as Rito and Lala, and still do things together, but their lives become less attached and parallel to each other, and they are not as often seen together as they were before. While Nana develops her own friendship with Mea and lives a life far more relaxed than her younger half's, Momo concentrates on her Harem Plan that was originally proposed by Lala to make almost every girl close to fall for him, including her sister Nana. At the end of  Darkness  Chapter 35 Momo decides to let Nana in on her Harem plan but she is strongly against it.

Rito Yuuki
Nana is one of the few girls who does not have romantic feelings for Rito (in the beginning at least). In fact, her impression of him and his friendships with many girls is quite negative. She thinks of him as a shameless pervert, and is widely known for calling him a "beast". Overall, she doesn't genuinely hate him, but rather she can't seem to see what's so great about him. She has, however, said that he can be kind sometimes and is often grateful when he puts her needs before himself and tries to make her as calm and happy as he can, given her normally abrupt change of mood.

After Nana's relationship with Mea became strained and left her heartbroken, Rito came to offer her advice and encouragement. When Rito hugged her in his arms to console her, it gave her the courage to confront and reconcile with Mea. Nana is grateful to him for encouraging her to confront to Mea, and she also notes that being hugged by Rito felt warm. Her feelings for Rito have greatly improved from this, and she subsequently snuck into Rito's room to sleep next to him (only to find Momo already sleeping next to him half-naked, much to her anger).

As time goes on for her, Nana eventually begins to have slight romantic feelings for Rito (like feeding him food), although she tends to snap herself back to what she thinks to be real and continues to dislike him. While she doesn't fully give into these thoughts, she tends to have a somewhat shy and flustered reaction to them.

Currently, Nana generally treats Rito like a brother, but obviously the kind she often squabbles with and gets mad at. She still says that Rito is an idiot, pervert, and a beast, but she acknowledges that he can truly be counted on when someone is in trouble and will thank him for his help, though in her own way and on very rare occasions. She remembers how good it felt when she was hugged in his arms. And once, while listening to a scary story, she easily got scared and was seen hiding closely behind Rito.

Despite what she thought of him the first time they met, she has slowly developed affectionate feelings towards him that she herself can barely understand or chooses to understand, much like Kotegawa. But lately, she wonders if she might be the type of girl Rito would like. She wonders if he likes her breast size or if he would like her with makeup.

Unknown Mother
Not much is known about the mother of Lala, Nana and Momo. It's said that she might be the most beautiful woman ever, something Lala and Momo have inherited from her, but not Nana as much (who is very sensitive about it). Momo states that she's a wonderful person. As the current queen of Deviluke (in their father's place, who isn't good at politics), she demonstrates active leadership and endeavors to maintain relations with every planet. To Nana and her sisters, she is the person they admire the most.

Momo has stated that despite being busy most of the time, their mother still makes time to call them (To-Love-Ru Darkness Chapter 23).

Mea Kurosaki
After enrolling into Sainan High School along with Momo, Mea became the first friend Nana made, and Nana greatly cherishes their friendship. Unknown to Nana, at first, Mea is a living weapon, like Yami (Golden Darkness). And like Yami, Mea is not genuinely accustomed to friendship and emotions, despite her cheery exterior.

Mea convinced herself that she is a weapon who was only pretending to have emotions to follow orders as a spy in the school. When Nana discovered Mea's identity as a living weapon, Mea confessed that she was only pretending to be friends. This left Nana deeply upset. But after consolation and encouragement from Rito, Nana approached Mea again, and Mea realized that she does still care for Nana. They have since become friends again.

Trivia

 * Like the other parts of the Devilukean family, Nana's second name is a reference to the demon, Astaroth.
 * The Japanese name Nana means grace ironically, due to Nana frequently shown temper. Even so, she does seem to be quite shy and graceful at times when necessary, most likely due to her being raised as a princess.
