Nyandestar usually appears as a small tabby cat with gray fur that covers most of her body, with the exception of her head, chest, paws and the inside of the ears, that are covered in white fur instead, and wears a pink collar. She has sharp blue-colored eyes that can emit a glow to detect aliens within her vicinity, a striped tail, and a green, star-shaped mark on her forehead.

Lineart of Nyandestar's true form.

Nyandestar's true humanoid form is a tall pale-skinned woman with long red hair fading into grey past her waist. She has two spikes of hair styled like cat ears and bound by green ribbons and retains her blue eyes with yellow sclera. She wears a lilac minidress with her "charm point" in green over the chest and a grey front, black tights, a pale pink choker, and pale pink stiletto ankle-banded heels. When Nyandestar was younger, her hair was chin-length and she wore a sleeveless lilac dress tied with a green bow at the waist.

Personality

Nyandestar is confident and arrogant, boasting of the capabilities and responsibilities of MIK. However she can be easily startled, even by Manabu's common outbursts. She tends to get exasperated with Manabu and his honorable tendencies when a more practical approach is possible. Despite her professional attitude and tendency for exasperation she cares deeply for her partners and friends.

Nyandestar is full of regret and trauma over the fate of Pawtner, and whenever an opportunity to save or avenge it presents itself she pursues it fervently and desperately. Her drive leads her to briefly betray her friends for a chance to get close to The☆Lugh. These feelings later resurface during the second season while she and Manabu remain at MIK undercover to determine the cause of people being sealed into cards.

Abilities

Nyandestar can emit a light from her eyes that is capable of detecting aliens within her direct vicinity. She can also transform into her true form, but being in said form for an extended period of time greatly expands her energy.

Biography

History

Nyandestar was born on Pawtner. When she was a child, The☆Lugh's spaceship visited the planet and introduced them to numerous games, in addition to the concept of winning and losing. The☆Lugh also exposed the losers of those games to something that froze them solid, eventually freezing the entire planet solid and leaving Nyandestar the only survivor, urged to flee by her parents. Nyandestar did so, somehow fleeing into space and transforming into a form resembling a cat from Earth. Nyandestar eventually fell into the Earth's orbit and landed in Mutsuba Town, wherein, trapped in her cat form, she met London Kirishima, and the two devised a plan to stop the Great King of Terror. As part of that plan, Nyandestar joined MIK, where she was first partnered with Ranran Nanahoshi, though despite a successful partnership, Ranran abandoned Nyandestar after learning she could talk, having believed her voice to be in her head. Nyandestar would next become partners with Manabu Sogetsu.

First Arc

Nyandestar was sitting in a field on the outskirts of Mutsuba Town, searching for a suspected alien target, when she was surprised by Yuhi Ohdo shouting about aliens. Yuhi tried to catch Nyandestar, but Nyandestar clawed his face and fled. Nyandestar later went over footage of Yuhi and his sister Yuamu entering an invisible spaceship with Manabu at the MIK Headquarters, who decided the situation required further investigating. They went to UTS, the Ohdo twins' alien extermination company, where Manabu posed as a client while Nyandestar scouted the UTS office, learning there were eight elderly employees in addition to the Ohdo twins and their alien target. Manabu's deception was discovered, and Nyandestar revealed herself to the Ohdo twins as Manabu took some of Yuhi's cards into custody due to alien contamination, unwilling to Rush Duel Yuhi for being so careless with his cards. Yudias Velgear then arrived, and Nyandestar confirmed he was an alien. To Nyandestar's surprise, Yudias convinced Manabu to Rush Duel over his custody, and Nyandestar sat atop a drum outside as they Rush Dueled, shocked by Yudias' Galaxy Type monsters and his early lead over Manabu. Manabu was able to counterattack, and Nyandestar believed Yudias hadn't drawn any monsters on his next turn, mocking his Deck-building skills. However Manabu noted Yudias had definitely drawn monsters and consoled Yudias over a complex he had regarding Tributing his monsters. To Nyandestar's shock, a spotlight shone on Yudias and voices chanted his name as he celebrated the revelation of Manabu's words, and he Tribute Summoned "Galactica Oblivion" and defeated Manabu. Manabu agreed to let them go, and Nyandestar was shocked to learn Yudias' spaceship Valvelgear contained 8.8 million Velgearians, retreating with Manabu and the other MIK members.

Nyandestar and Manabu learned of serial attacks across Mutsuba Town and tracked down the culprit, Chupataro Kaburagi, though UTS had already found him. Chupataro refused to be arrested, so Yuamu challenged him to a Rush Duel; to Nyandestar's exasperation, Manabu agreed after Yudias reminded him a Rush Duel was the tool of a warrior. Yuamu successfully defeated Chupataro and got him to stop his attacks, allowing Nyandestar and Manabu to take him away. Chupataro proved uncooperative to interrogation, eventually showing them a Gold Earth Permit after Nyandestar threatened to send him underground and claiming his family had served as the inspiration for chupacabras, a term Nyandestar was unfamiliar with, meaning MIK had no jurisdiction over him and forcing them to release him. However the following Sunday Yuamu called Manabu and explained Yudias had gone missing due to Chupataro's actions, and had tracked them to the Mutsuba Heavy Machinery Garbage Collection Site #8. Nyandestar accompanied Manabu and several MIK agents arrived just in time to save Yuhi from being attacked by Chupataro and arrested him, warning him his Gold Earth Permit would be revoked for trespassing. Nyandestar told Yuhi and Yudias they had trespassed too, but let them go due to their aid in capturing Chupataro. Nyandestar succeeded in tracing Chupataro's communications to Velgear, as Chupataro again refused to cooperate; Manabu only able to succeed in making him tear up at the mention of his family, but Nyandestar believed it wasn't remorse. Nyandestar revealed Chupataro's communication to Manabu, so they went to Kappa Heavenly Cleaning, where Yudias, Yuhi and Yuamu currently were, to ask Yudias if he knew who Chupataro was communicating with. Nyandestar and Manabu later responded to an alert in a warehouse, finding Zuwijo zir Velgear and Mitsuko Hiramori with Yudias, Yuhi and Yuamu. They successfully captured Mitsuko, but Zuwijo escaped.

Due to their work capturing interstellar kriminals, Nyandestar and Manabu were given an afternoon off, which they spent at CAFÉ. Unfortunately Yuhi and Yudias drove through their table on an out-of-control tractor, scooping them up; Nyandestar ended up clinging to the tractor cab talking to Yuhi. Yuhi informed them the tractor couldn't be stopped unless Yudias answered all 100 Saikyo Rush Duel questions. Nyandestar and Manabu were forced to watch Yudias slowly answer the questions, and he reached the 100th question as the tractor drove towards a cliff. Yudias struggled with the final question, naming all the Types in the game, but eventually recited them all in a rap, successfully stopping the tractor on the edge of the cliff. A pigeon then perched on the tractor, overbalancing it, though they were rescued by Valvelgear.

Nyandestar and Manabu investigated another alien report, tracking it to Mutsuba Cable Studio. They barged onstage, but found no trace of the alien and sat in the audience after the MC asked them to. They watched the ensuing Rush Duel between Yuamu and Manya Atachi, Nyandestar was shocked when the girls claimed they had been acting conflict between them, but Nyandestar suddenly sensed traces of an alien. Manya chose Manabu as the second Duelist to represent the local team, Dueling her dog Bochi, who Manabu had known while training. Manabu was overjoyed to see Bochi, a look Nyandestar ruefully noted he'd never shown her, but shocked when Bochi transformed and revealed he was an alien, accusing Manabu of abandoning him. During the Duel, Bochi congratulated Manabu's Sogetsu Style, which Manabu explained to be a martial art he'd practiced in his youth, though he had resented using it to hurt people and had found solace with Bochi until they were discovered and he was forced into training; Bochi had been missing when Manabu returned and Manabu had joined MIK to find him. Nyandestar was touched by Manabu's tragic past, but incensed when Bochi revealed he had tried to infiltrate Sogetsu Style through Manabu to destroy it with his Wicked Fist of the Beloved Dog. Nyandestar was worried when Bochi depleted most of Manabu's LP, but Manabu Summoned "Chemicalize Salamander" on his next turn and used its effect to take advantage of the large number of monsters Bochi had sent to the Graveyard to lower the ATK of his monsters and defeat him. After the Duel Bochi burst into proud tears, explaining he had long given up the Wicked Fist of the Beloved Dog style to become Manya's protector. Nyandestar asked why Bochi had claimed to want revenge, and Manya explained Bochi had simply wanted to test Manabu's skills.

Although Manabu's victory had won the matches for the local team, Manabu not being a UTS member convinced everyone to continue the Duels. Before they could, Chupataro broke through a wall and demanded to Rush Duel. Nynadestar was shocked Chupataro had escaped the MIK Headquarters, and Bochi was unable to stop Chupataro after using up his power Dueling Manabu, so Yudias accepted Chupataro's challenge. Yudias gained a significant lead over Chupataro when the latter used a Trap to reduce the ATK of his monster just to draw "Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan". To Nyandestar's shock, a strange substance emerged from Chupataro's Duel Disk when he Summoned "Meeeg-chan", physically materializing her. Nyandestar then learned Mitsuko had orchestrated the escape of Chupataro and several other aliens, realizing she had been captured on purpose. Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan destroyed Yudias' monsters and physically attacked him, so Manabu tried to stop the Duel, but Yudias continued after learning a monster physically materializing was not a rule violation. Meeeg-chan attacked Yudias again during his own turn, his monsters unable to protect him as they were still only Solid Vision, but Yudias again insisted on Dueling fairly to win, succeeding in Summoning and powering up "Galactica Oblivion" to defeat Meeeg-chan, causing her to vanish. Nyandestar, Manabu and the MIK agents had Chupataro and his Duel Disk taken away afterwards.

After Chupataro confessed to being tricked by Zuwijo before falling comatose, Nyandestar and Manabu visited Yudias at the UTS office to ask Yudias whether he knew where Zuwijo was hiding. The Ohdo twins insisted Yudias had no idea, a claim Nyandestar agreed with, though she was shocked by Manabu's coldness in informing Yudias of Zuwijo's prospective punishment and his own inability to stop it. After leaving they resumed tracking Zuwijo with Nyandestar's powers, though Nyandestar had difficulty tracking the old traces and apologized to Manabu, who worried Zuwijo had left town. Another agent informed them of an alien trace, but Nyandestar and Manabu instead found Tell Kawai bathing on a rooftop with a view of Mutsuba Tower, claiming something was about to happen.

Nyandestar and Manabu hurried to Mutsuba Tower, shocked to see the massive "Voidvelgr Hecatoncheir" towering above the Tower, but Zuwijo had already materialized it with the Earthdamar by the time they reached the roof, leaving MIK powerless to stop the Rush Duel. After Yuhi failed to create a new Earthdamar for Yudias to Nyandestar's disgust, she told Manabu the Duel was out of their hands. During the Duel Manabu learned Mutsuba Cable were broadcasting the match and tried to have it stopped, but Manya and Yuamu instead suggested using the opportunity to convince the townspeople it was special effects. Yudias destroyed "Hecatoncheir, but to Nyandestar's shock Zuwijo Summoned "Voidvelgr Requiem" and used the Earthdamar's "Egil Velgear Gyurudo" to clad himself with it after its power was spread across Mutsuba Town. The Earthdamar's power partially materialized monsters from Duelists' Decks across the town and caused Yuhi to collapse. To Nyandestar's shock, their agents learned the tower was operating at Yuamu's suggestion; Yuamu explained her belief Zuwijo was spreading the Earthdamar with Mutsuba Tower's radio transmitter. Nyandestar was unsure how to proceed and Manabu suggested stopping the Duel, but Yuamu revealed Yuhi's soul had been trapped inside "Voidvelgr Requiem" and worried doing so could be dangerous. Asaka Mutsuba then used her Heavy Cavalry to remove the Earthdamar from Mutsuba Tower, dematerializing most of the monsters. After Yuamu conveyed the unconscious Yuhi's request for Yudias to defeat Zuwijo, Yudias was able to do so by destroying "Requiem" with "Galactica Oblivion", freeing Yuhi's soul. The MIK agents tried to capture Zuwijo, but Mitsuko fled with him before they could do so, Nyandestar cursing Mitsuko's stubbornness. Yuhi soon awoke, and admitted he didn't believe Zuwijo to be as bad as they thought given his restraint while clad in "Requiem", while Yudias believed Zuwijo to be hiding something.

Second Arc

Nyandestar accompanied Manabu to the Coruffium, where it is revealed that she had been partners with Ranran Nanahoshi in the past.

Third Arc

When The☆Lugh arrives to Mutsuba Town, Nyandestar is tasked with delivering the "Fusion" card to Yudias as a weapon to use against the Great King of Terror. She ultimately betrays the group and sides with The☆Lugh in hopes that he can free her friends and family back at Pawtner in exchange. Nyandestar Duels Manabu and wins, but right as he was about to get frozen for losing, Nyandestar gets second thoughts about her betrayal, snatches The☆Lugh's box out of his hands and tries to look at its contents without opening it with her Nyandestar Eye, but still gets frozen as she was about to reveal its contents to Manabu.

Fourth Arc

After The☆Lugh is defeated, her friends try to cheer her up, and they ultimately decide to go to Pawtner. Nyandestar is able to free her friends and family from the ice and teach them about Rush Duels.
