ネオン・スカラ・スミリヤ

"If I'm an assistant, then start treating me like one. Please. If you'd be so kind!"

A protagonist and the ******e of this story. The only member of the Detective Club; Tesla's assistant. A girl who's been known to fire off a fierce glare every now and then. First-year student in the Academia's Engine Physics Department; no living relatives. Her hair is dyed a bright shade of pink. Originally, it was brown, just like that of her deceased elder brother.

She was living a harsh life of exploitation as a "second-class student" until Nikola Tesla bought her for the price of 30 silver coins. That's all well and good, but her new position as an assistant with the Speculative Detective Club involves a great deal of hard work for a master who's quite difficult to please. Naturally, Neon isn't entirely satisfied with the situation. But since everything was arranged through official school procedures, she couldn't just walk out the door even if she wanted to.

By nature, she's a strong-willed and tenacious young lady with a rebellious, inquisitive spirit. Unfortunately, she's also a pathologically helpful sort who can't bring herself to turn down a request... And so, despite her dissatisfaction, she finds herself increasingly caught up in looking after Tesla and satisfying his unreasonable demands.

In December several years back, both of her eyes spontaneously changed their color to a striking gold. They now bear an odd resemblance to the eyes of a cat. If angry or displeased, she reflexively narrows her eyes to slits, no matter who she's dealing with. When she's in a really, truly bad mood, her glare can melt glaciers. Better watch your step, wise guy.
