Warning: This character's profile contains MAJOR spoilers for Kill la Kill. If you haven't watched or finished the series and don't want the majority of the plot spoiled, STOP HERE and skip down to the 'Full List of Abilities (In her Present State)' and 'Light Recap' sections, which will have as few spoilers as possible. Please indicate to me that you've read this prior to approaching me in order to avoid spoilers, so I can prepare accordingly and try NOT to spoil things for you. Otherwise, proceed to The Grand Couturier. Spoilers will hit hard and heavy from the get-go there.



The Grand Couturier

Nui Harime is a being that is infused with living fabric called 'Life Fibers', born in an artificial womb created from them. She was 'born to' Ragyō Kiryūin, and raised to be a servant of her corporation, REVOCS, where she served as its Grand Couturier and the creator of their ultimate weapon, a Kamui (or uniform composed completely of Life Fibers) that was made to surpass all others. In related events, she's also the murderer of Ryuko Matoi's father and, until shortly before her demise, the wielder of the Purple Scissor Blade.

Ah, yes, her demise. We were getting to that, for those of you curious.

Like many beings that died in their respective universes, Nui simply ended up here, perhaps absorbed into the Nexus on her way to whatever afterlife awaited her. Initially filled with rage as her removal from Ragyō and separation from her previous reality likely meant the failure of her mother's plans, she was then filled with a sense of purpose as an odd bit of reality hit her: she did not sense Matoi's influence or presence in this new realm, but she could sense something akin to the First Life Fiber lying dormant somewhere on the plane, either present in this universe for as long as it had been within her own or transported here in a similar fashion to the way she had been. One of two goals were now in view; the first was that she might be able to locate her 'mama' in this place and the two could resume their plan in a new world, and perhaps use this Nexus as a means to conquer each dimension. The latter was that she herself could complete her mother's work by constructing her own Kamui. After all, if Ryuko could do it, why couldn't she?

Her task would be far simpler with her original arms back. It's only a shame her eye did not come back, but she would deal without; she probably wouldn't know what to do with that bit of depth perception at this point, anyway.

Full List of Abilities (In her Present State)

(Note: These were pretty much yanked from the Wiki, with the exception of a few obvious additions. They have been modified to take out any critical spoilers.)

Life Fibers

- Superhuman Physical Prowess - As a Life Fibers-infused human, Nui possesses immense physical strength, speed, reflexes, durability and endurance. She is able to handle herself exceptionally well in battle, being able to effortlessly fight against the Four Devas, who were all wearing enhanced, Three Star Goku Uniforms, fight on even grounds against Kamui-wielding fighters such as Satsuki and Ryūko and easily defeat the Nudist Beach forces. In spite of her natural strength, due to the particular nature of the Life Fibers infused to her, Nui was previously unable to don a Kamui, as it would have no effect on her. Certain traits of her body's anatomy have changed since her revival in the Nexus, and it's possible that an artfully tailored Kamui may now have an effect on her...

- Regeneration - As a Life Fibers/human hybrid, Nui can regenerate from any wounds and even lost limbs almost instantly, regardless of their severity. The only exception to this healing power is if Nui is cut by the Scissor Blades or the Bakuzan, as they can nullify Life Fiber restoration.

- Mon-Mignon Prêt-à-Porter - One of Nui's unique skills allows her to create replicas of herself that can either fight her opponents or act as distractions. Although physically identical to Nui and possessing all of her abilities, the duplicates appear to be far less powerful than the original, relying mainly on their superior numbers.

- Mental Refitting - Much like Ragyō, Nui can release Life Fibers from her hands that ensnare opponents and turn them into mindless puppets.

- Elasticity - Nui, as a Life Fibers-infused human, and perhaps as a result of her dimensional transition, has the ability to stretch out her body in ways that most humans would deem physically impossible. Whether this is a new ability or one that she's just now become aware of is unknown, though it's not the first that she's discovered in this place. This fortunately plays to her playful and sadistic nature

- Life Fiber Absorption - Nui, as a Life-Fibers-infused human, has the ability to loose Life-Fibers from her own form and drag other beings into her, fusing them completely into her form and assimilating them. Combined with her Mon-Mignon Prêt-à-Porter and a powerful enough victim, Nui can actually produce an identical clone of herself of the same strength and aptitude, or a clone of herself with slight differences, with which she can switch her active consciousness at any time. Whether or not she can do this to restore her lost eye is debatable, but this is a new ability she has gained, and as such she has had little time to play around with it. Alternatively, she may simply keep the being infused into her own form and use their body traits to more properly duplicate them.

- Life Fiber Reformation - As an extension of her regenerative abilities, Nui is now capable of reforming from digestive processes so long as one of the life fibers from her original body survives the endeavor. To be honest, this is incredibly likely. (This ability is considered 'optional' for the sake of a scene and does not have to be implemented.)

- Life Fiber Pseudo-Form - Nui can create certain false body parts with life fibers via orifices or open wounds, such as wings, tails, and naughtier bits. While this is a useful ability, it also drains her quite a bit unless she's recently taken victims into herself, either by consumption or simple absorption.

Natural Abilities

- ​Infiltration and Disguise Skills - Nui also appears to be extremely skilled when it comes to mimicry and infiltration. She can disguise her height, hair style, gender and voice almost perfectly. The only clue to her true identity that she apparently can not change is her eyepatch, which she instead covers up when disguised. In order to support her disguises, she can also create disguised puppets, indicating that she is also skilled at puppetry and ventriloquism.

- Piloting Skills - Nui is also a skilled pilot, able to handle most aircraft.

- Master Sewing Skills - Being a Life Fibers/human hybrid and the Grand Couturier, Nui has a deep knowledge of how Life Fibers clothing is made. She can sew high quality garments, especially Life Fiber based with ease.

- Fingernail Hooks - The bottom edge of Nui's fingernails are lined with small hooks that can catch threads. She can use these hooks to grab and remove Banshis from uniforms, completely dismantling them with a pluck or two.

-Light Recap-

Nui Harime is obviously something beyond human, given the various abilities indicated above (which include, but are not limited to superhuman strength, agility, and fighting prowess, the ability to create clones of herself, and the ability to practically shape shift), though her appearance would indicate that she's your average, if not abnormally peppy teenage girl. One shouldn't be deceived as, in reality, she is sadistic and will do whatever she wants, regardless of who tries to boss her around. Granted, she's not used to the environment she's just been thrown into, and now that she's rather recently been exposed to vorish activities, she's become incredibly fascinated with the practices and is not shy about observing or participating.

Until she can more properly pursue her true ambitions, which for the sake of this description shall remain ambiguous, Nui runs a little Botique known as 'Ma Petite Amie', where she tailors to many of the park's residents. Though, secretly, she's utilizing life fibers she's found in uniforms that have appeared (discarded) in various parts of the park, re-purposing them to form new outfits and to further her goals, and perhaps cause a bit of chaos. Few have caught on to this tactic, and those that have don't seem to really care as the outfits she makes seem to boost confidence, giving those that are reduced to prey a fighting chance and predators an edge in their hunt... Well, unless they plan to turn on her, of course! She could dismantle those hopes with a simple flick of her pinky, and she probably wouldn't be particularly happy after being forced to do so.
