I'm still salty about Nyaan.
Nyaan could have been the most well written character of the show, she had the best foundation. Everything about her was unusual, she wasn't just a template character. She had many interesting facets to her character that could've all been explored. The gentle side that just wants to be with her friends, the closed off side that distrusts people due to her difficult life, the survivalist side that would just run away if desperate, and the violent and resentful side that lashes out at anyone she perceives as being at fault for her situation.
She was utterly unpredictable for most of the show, yet every new side of hers felt like it fit together perfectly to previous information
>she simply accepts that she gets mistreated by authorities at this point in her life
>of course she was lonely and wanted to stay with her friends
>of course she had been surpressing her anger all this time and would fight back violently if she had the means to
>of course she has street smarts about being backstabbed by seemingly nice people
>of course she doesn't care to go to university and doesn't care about having any prestige in the society that abandoned her, she just wants to use it as a stepping stone.
>of course she was never truly swayed by Kycillia or cared about her lofty goals. She was just going with the flow and trying to survive with her current situation
Yet they do nothing with all this foundation and just stopped writing her halfway through the show. It almost feels like they accidentally struck gold and never noticed. The Shuji obsession being the end all and be all for both her and Machu was such a disservice to what they could've been.

They never addressed Nyaan's trauma and Machu isn't even aware of it.
She's a hair trigger away from just flipping a switch and unloading a full magazine into a random Feddie terrorist or Zeon rebel if they're ever threatened by one. Even in a non lethal match, she might up inadvertedly killing someone if she gets pushed enough.
She can be either Machu's housewife in the kitchen or uncontrolled killer guard dog.

Nyaan is a perfect example of everything wrong with Gcucks.
>billed as one of the protagonists
>given an ambiguous backstory
>implied to have a large role
But
>nothing about her is ever revealed (not even her real name)
>nothing about her ever matters
>she never does anything of value
You can cut Nyaan out and literally nothing changes. Machu meets Shuji, cue Clan Battles, attack on the city, Shuji hears Lalah and fucks off, Machu chases after him, meets Lalah and others, finds Shuji, cue the finale. Everything Nyaan did was entirely peripheral, her presence was never important. She doesn't learn anything either, she starts off as a dumb broad chasing after Shu-chan, and that's all there is. So why even bother?

I'm pretty sure that's artwork from the character designer.
