Nomu Kikuchihara

Nomu Kikuchihara (菊地原 野夢) is a prominent character in the Spirits' Difficult Life series.

Official Description
A lackadaisical earth spirit, Nomu currently resides with Iroha.

Appearance
Nomu is a petite, blonde-haired girl with brownish eyes. Her long hair is tied with two ribbons, which serve to seal and limit her powers while in the human realm. As an earth spirit, half of her body can be seen covered in dirt, a compromise of having a half-human body and needing oxygen to survive.

Background
A partaker in the Trial of Maturity, Nomu arrived in the human realm at somehow the exact same moment and location as Sylfy. They encounter Iroha as their first human, and eventually the two spirits move in to Iroha's mansion as a "double-pairing." Along with Sylfy, both girls immediately transfer to Iroha's school, with Nomu ending up being classmates with Luka and Sumino.

As an earth spirit, Nomu has an instinctual urge to bury herself in dirt, building caverns or other rock-like structures around her. But having to become partly human, she has to face the dilemma of needing air to breathe as well, making it almost impossible to burrow in the ground without her heading sticking out. She can occasionally summon dirt puppets, little doll-like creatures made of soil, to help assist her whenever needed. When navigating in the human world, Nomu's conversational style is usually blunt, and she often dislikes creating strong attachments with others, detesting even the nicknames given to her. However, Nomu somehow finds comfort and solace whenever she is with Iroha, who often reminds her of the warmth of her family back the spirit realm.
