hoshino ruri

"The 'Electronic Fairy,' she ensures the ship's computer (Omoikane) operates smoothly and gradually forms a bond with it, frequently inquiring about society and human interactions. Ruri is a child prodigy and somewhat detached from the rest of the crew, whom she deems as 'nothing but idiots.' She is sometimes called 'Ruri-Ruri' by Minato, another bridge crew member. Additionally, she co-hosts the 'Naze Nani Nadesico' segment and narrates at the start of each Nadesico episode, summarizing past events while inserting her own take on the situation. Ruri is very aloof and highly knowledgeable about many subjects, and she doesn't enjoy engaging in activities that most crew members do. Instead, she prefers to sit back in front of the monitor managing the Nadesico, playing video games, and conversing with Omoikane. While she plays a minor role in the TV series, her part is significant in the movie."
