Nene

"And over there is little Nene, she's so cute!"

- Joji, when he saw her extended family in Finger Family Song

Nene is one of Joji's four animal friends, and the most infrequent of the show overall. While non-verbal, she had a major part for the early episodes of the show.

Appearance
Nene is a small beetle, about one inch long. She has an orange face with eyelashes, a green shell, and six orange feet. The side view of Nene can be seen in Rhyming Words. She wears a small but stirdy hat in Finger Family Song, matching the Wanda family except for Ogot and Marj.

Personality
Nene is very quiet, but when she buzzes, her bubbly personality lends itself to others, like how she contributed to Joji's game in Unlocking of Different Words and Phrases.

One reason why she does not contribute that much is not just due to her size, shyness, and age, but instead because she loves to sleep, confirmed in Rhyming Words. In Finger Family Song, when taking the role of the bunso Wanda, sleeps on a leaf larger than her.

Another reason why Joji and the animals like Nene is because of her cuteness, even mentioned by Joji once directly. One of the exmpales he gives for phrases is Nene eating gargantuan-sized fruits for her, while Joji, just by saying that, made him chuckle a bit.

Background
Nene's backstory is very unclear, making her the most mysterious of the main characters. In episodes like Inference and conclusions, her dwelling leaves the plant absent of life, except for an injured bird.

And most of the time, Nene is excluded, or, simply does not appear. She does not get mentioned by Joji often, only calling Ogot, Cathy, and Marj by name, not to mention the fact that Nene does not make any new appearances in the May and June episodes. However, one could assume that because episode confirms that she has a family, and it is never mentioned why she went here.

Trivia

 * She is the smallest character, but can still be visible even during Joji's widescreen.
 * She is also the only non-verbal character, communicating in buzzes only Joji can understand.
 * Her name has the fewest amount of letters, and is one of the two characters with repeating ones (the other one is Ogot).
 * She is the last credited character when you read the credits.
 * She is the only main character who can fly.
 * Nene's has the same buzz sound each episode.
 * Most of Nene's family has the same complexion, with the yellow and orange spots hereditary.
 * She is the second character to have a confirmed family. Marj was the third in Para, the Brave and Beautiful, and Ogot was the last, in a very short clip in Making Graphs, Tables, and Pictographs.
