Nae Tennouji

Nae Tennouji (天王寺 綯 Tennōji Nae), is the only daughter of Yuugo Tennouji and Tsuzuri Imamiya. She is a young girl living in fear of Rintarou Okabe/Hououin Kyouma.

Personality
A very timid and reserved girl, Nae likes to keep out of Rintarou's way, as his Hououin Kyouma persona frightens her. She is good friends with Mayuri and Suzuha though and thinks of them as her older sisters, often exchanging a friendly "Tutturu" with Mayuri, and hanging around with Suzuha when she is working in the CRT TV store.

She loves her father very much and often feels like she's imposing on him, even going so far as to learn cookery from Mayuri and Kurisu for his sake.



She is deeply depressed following his suicide, though she blames Rintarou and Moeka for his death and kills the latter before wounding Rintarou (see below).

Plot
(SPOILER ALERT)



Vengeful Nae
In World Line Divergence 0.523307% (visual-novel exclusive), Kurisu noticed Nae running away after her father's suicide, which implied that Nae had witnessed the event. Rintarou, Kurisu and Moeka went to the latter's apartment to cancel the next D-mail, but before Okabe could send it, Nae showed up at the apartment to kill Moeka and warn Rintarou that she would kill him in 15 years. If the player chose to delay the D-mail, Rintarou decides to time-leap to before his confrontation with Yuugo, and he instead stages it so that he can chase Nae and interrogate her about her cryptic warning. As Rintarou realizes that Nae had time-leaped from 2025, she stabs him in his elbow and gradually jabs fingers in his wound during their conversation.

Traumatized by her father's suicide, she blamed the incident on Moeka for not stopping Yuugo, and Rintarou for, essentially, finding the IBN in this world-line. She joined the Rounders at some point in time, and tortured/killed Rintarou in 2025. Using the Future Gadget Lab's time-leap machine that SERN had locked up for 15 years, she time leaped over 2000 times, possibly double, to reach 2010 and exact her revenge against those who "killed daddy".

When Rintarou asks how she'll re-live the next 15 years, Nae tells him that "There's nothing for me there...", then proceeds to search for Moeka. Rintarou later speculates that she would simply repeat her time-leaping and act of vengeance until she'd lose sight of why she was time-leaping in the first place.

Is it notable that the anime shows a different World Line Divergence; 0.337187%. Yuugo takes Rintarou, Moeka and Kurisu to an empty construction lot, so Nae does not directly witness her father's suicide; it is unknown if she goes down a similar path of vengeance like in World Divergence 0.523307%.

Mayuri's Killer, Nae
In an unspecified Alpha World Line, Okabe and Mayuri attempt to flee SERN's attack by using the subways before SERN shuts them down. However, Nae follows them and attempts to hug Mayuri after catching up to her on the platform, pushing Mayuri in front of a speeding train and killing her. Nae is traumatised by this event and it's unknown what happens to her. Unlike in World Line Divergence 0.523307%, Nae's actions here seem to be unintentional.

Trivia

 * In Robotics;Notes, which lies in the same universe as Steins;Gate, Nae returns as a 20-year-old employee of JAXA.
 * Her action of revenge for her father death is the same as Claudius's action (Claudius gets angry and turns into a bloodlust revenger when his friend, Caligula, is killed) from Demonbane series.
 * Coincidentally, Nae and Yuugo Tennouji have same figures just like Claudius and Caligula. Nae's personality is identical to Claudius, especially their way of revenge along with their lust and cruelty.
