Near replies "No, thank you Linda", and continues to put together his puzzle. As some children run by the room, a young girl named Linda asks Near if he wants to play with them. He is first seen sitting alone in a room, piecing together a white puzzle, with the puzzle's only design being a black letter 'L' in the corner. Near is first introduced to the story as a child at Wammy's House.
#Death note rules wiki series
In the post series one-shot, he is shown conducting investigations as "L", and uses the Old English Text MT/Cloister Black font text "L". While L uses the Old English Text MT/Cloister Black font text "L," Near uses the Wedding Text BT/ClerestorySSK font text "N," to represent himself during the Kira investigation. All of his toys are the types that need to be moved manually such as the action figures, darts and dolls (except for the remote-control rubber ducks powered with batteries, and a battery-moved train). Although Near is always surrounded with toys, none of them are electronics. It appears that Near would despise anyone who would knock down these structures, accidentally or intentionally. Of course, these structures are far beyond normal size, easily covering an entire room.

Three years after the main story, Near takes an interest in building Tarot card stacks. Normally, his fixation with toys is light, but he does seem to have things that he particularly likes since he has taken these with him when he had to escape. Even though he is only playing, piecing together a patterned puzzle starting out of nowhere and the like easily shows a sample of his abilities and intelligence. With extremely childlike interests, his surroundings always have toys, dice, or darts strewn about. He is usually seen hunched over rather than sitting, and he also constantly plays with various toys, which he uses in his theories. Much like L, Near shows various unusual mannerisms during his day to day life. In the post-series one-shot, Near is shown to have a great respect for L, basing much of how he solves crime on L's methods, even to the point where he only takes cases that he has a personal interest in rather than trying to pursue justice. For example, when the SPK members were killed in the anime Near has a very stern look, but in the manga he is visibly upset. Near shows much more emotion in the manga than he does in the anime, and displays far more facial expressions. He is also shown to have a sense of humor, stating that Light was "popular with the ladies" while discussing with Rester the roles of Misa Amane and Kiyomi Takada in the Kira case. He is also rather devious, and isn't above using tactics that are "barely within the law", as he "values results above all else." Although a seemingly straight faced individual, Near will often smirk when getting something right, and does so many times while trying to corner Light during their conversations.

Near is very calm and stable, a trait that is described in Death Note 13: How To Read as being "above that of L's".

Near is rather codependent, as seen when he asks Rester to accompany him on his flight to Japan, due to having never flown alone. As stated in Death Note 13: How to Read, "he is only able to display his true deductive powers when he has the support of his members." The book also states that Near is distant from people because he is sensitive. Near also appears to be ambidextrous, playing darts with his left hand and stacking dice with his right.ĭespite his genius abilities, Near has a low social knowledge and is bad at interacting with others. He is proficient when it comes to multitasking, and is able to monitor multiple computer screens at once. He is highly observational, and was once seen piecing together a puzzle that was almost entirely colored white. He has an obsession with solving complex problems to which he views investigation as like solving a puzzle. Near is very intelligent, although his childish appearance and demeanor can cause others (such as David Hoope) to question his abilities. In the Death Note One-Shot Special which takes place three years after the end of the Kira case, Near is shown to have sharp bags under his eyes, slightly longer hair and to have undergone a growth spurt. In the anime, Near's pants are instead a light blue color. Near is only seen wearing a white long-sleeved pajama top, and white pajama pants. Near has white hair and gray eyes (similar to the eyes L had).
