Histoire

Histoire is a character from the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise.

Histoire is a mysterious, powerful being that contacts Neptune through her head throughout the first game for both advice and help. Histore is often said to be one of the Gods of the series, possessing all of the world's knowledge and having the ability to reshape reality. Though she does have limitations herself, such as not being able to do much other than look up information unless given permission by others and always taking a measurement of three's to find it. This is a security measure put into place by the goddess who created her in order to ensure she and future goddesses could not go rogue and simply alter things as they saw it fit.

In the AWA fics, Histoire is allies with the All Worlds Alliance.

Appearance
As stated, Histoire is actually a tome. It is dark blue with golden bordering on the front with a big green gem in the center.

As a fairy-like being, Histoire is a fair skinned girl with dull blue eyes and soft blonde hair. Her bangs curl in both directions, with two, longer curled pieces of hair that reach her chest. The rest of her hair is worn up in pigtails held by a white, black, and blue head piece that covers her ears, and a pair of purple and gold ribbons. She wears a loose purple dress with spiked ruffle lining, along with gold accents and a loose green-teal tie. Her shoes are white with a mary-jane style, while her wings are in four pieces and resemble widespread butterfly wings

In Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, Histoire has appeared to have aged. Her skin and hair has lightened severely and now she wears a slightly different white hat with light blue ear pieces. She wears a shorter, better fit light purple dress with a blue and white tie and white cuffs. She is also shown wearing long white socks and shoes. The pieces surrounding her have also changed and she gains blue and purple wings.

Her appearance changes yet again in Neptunia V, this time looking much younger and cute. She even has a cat bookmark on her tome and seems to look somewhat infantile, much like how IF and Compa appear in the same game. Her pigtails appear looser while her light purple head piece resembles a baby bonnet with white and light yellow detailing. Her pigtails are now held with cyan ribbons and her ear pieces are pink. Her dress is light colored and looks almost like the one originally worn, but it has childish details like ruffles, a bib-like area, and a cyan bow at the neck. She has white stockings/panty-hose on with purple and white shoes, each with a pink orb on them. Her wings resemble butterfly wings and she lacks the metal pieces surrounding her.

In reality this is her Ultradimension self as there are now two Histoires: one who maintains her mk2 look in Victory and the other being the Ultradimension self.

Personality
Histoire is a quiet girl with a sense of justice. She looks to be no older than Gust, but is very powerful and strong with a huge knowledge of all things in the world. But it can take her a while to find information, and because of this, her use may become questionable sometimes.

Usually Histore is happy or joyful, and often peppers her words with emoticons. She seems very gentle and calm but her temper can come up if pushed hard enough and she hates knowing the girls do not take their roles of Goddesses responsibly. She was also shown to kick the girls out of their comfortable lifestyles when she saw them being irresponsible and lashed out at Neptune and Nepgear in the prologue chapter of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory after having tolerated both sisters' laziness for too long.

In mk2, Histoire seems to act like a more mature and serious person, possibly due to growing a little and being a bit more competent when it comes to doing things, though she still takes time to do it all. However she has also developed a guilty complex and blames herself for the capture of the CPUs.
