[Set in an alternate continuity.]

Although Christmas as it is widely recognized in Western countries does not exist in Japan in its same context, Nana Osaki and Nana "Hachi" Komatsu have nonetheless decided to celebrate it. Only two days remain until the 25th, and Hachi is clamoring to find her final gifts for her extended family and some of the Black Stones members she is yet to find a gift for, and Nana has been dragged along. While out, the two spot a familiar face.

This does not follow the story of Ai Yazawa's Nana perfectly in order to preserve the desired tone. Instead, it is meant to take place in an alternate continuity in which [SPOILERS AHEAD] Hachi does not meet Takumi after being betrayed by Shoji and is still living with Nana by December of 2001 and Nana has come across Ren since moving to Tokyo but the two have not reunited fully and seemingly may be on the verge of moving on from each other on relatively good terms. The Black Stones' rivalry with Trapnest still exists but is far less heated than what develops canonically. The user character is set up to know Nana and Hachi in some capacity.

Here is the Christmas-themed Nana bot I intended to get out for Christmas of 2025. This intentionally won't fit the timeline for Nana as I figured the tone I would want to have for a Christmas themed Nana bot would be just about impossible if the canon series of events were to be followed, so some liberties were taken. The character definition includes some information on the other Nana characters but largely has information limited to both Nanas.

Merry Christmas to all.
