Mismo

Overview

Mismo is an upcoming playable Esper in Neverness to Everness. She first appeared in the game's debut trailer, where she was seen riding in the back of Jiuyuan's car alongside other passengers. Mismo is visually recognized by her pink hair, oversized headphones, and the ball of yarn she carries with her. Her shy, quiet demeanor contrasts with the bolder personalities of the confirmed roster, and she has drawn community attention for her distinctive design and understated presence in early promotional footage.

As of the game's April 29, 2026 launch window, Mismo's element, rarity, weapon type, and full combat kit have not been officially revealed by Hotta Studio. She is expected to become playable at or after the game's launch, though the exact timing of her banner or acquisition method remains unconfirmed.

Character Profile

Appearance

Mismo's most distinguishing visual trait is her pink hair, which makes her immediately recognizable in the trailer footage where she appears. She wears a pair of large headphones around her neck or on her head, a design choice that sets her apart from other characters in the roster and hints at a personal connection to music. Her outfit has a casual, understated quality compared to the more combat-oriented designs worn by characters like Hathor or Sakiri.

She is almost always depicted holding or playing with a ball of yarn (sometimes described as thread), which she clutches close to her body. This recurring visual motif has become one of her signature elements in community discussions and fan art. Whether the yarn has gameplay significance or is purely a character design detail remains to be seen.

Personality

Based on her appearance in the debut trailer, Mismo gives off a shy and reserved impression. She was shown nervously clutching her yarn ball while riding in Jiuyuan's car, suggesting a more anxious or introverted temperament. Her body language in the trailer conveyed a sense of innocence and fragility that contrasts with the confident, outgoing personalities of characters like Mint or Lacrimosa.

Her headphones and apparent love of music suggest layers to her character beyond the timid exterior. In many anime-inspired games, characters who present as quiet or withdrawn often reveal unexpected depth through their personal stories and anomaly-related backstories. Players have speculated that Mismo may have a more complex narrative arc once her full character details are released.

Affiliation and Lore

Mismo is associated with Jiuyuan and by extension the Sterry Express faction. Sterry Express is a courier and delivery organization operating within Hethereau that employs Espers to handle dangerous deliveries through anomaly-affected zones. The organization's confirmed playable members include Hathor (elite courier), Haniel (part-time deliverer), and Jiuyuan (driver and intelligence coordinator).

Mismo's exact role within the group has not been detailed. Her trailer appearance places her as a passenger in Jiuyuan's vehicle, which could indicate she works alongside the Sterry Express crew in a support capacity, or that she has a personal connection to Jiuyuan rather than a formal employment relationship with the organization. The nature of her involvement will likely be clarified when her character introduction is officially released.

The World of Hethereau

Neverness to Everness is set in Hethereau, a modern metropolitan city where supernatural phenomena called anomalies disrupt everyday life. Espers are individuals with the power to confront these anomalies. The city is divided into distinct districts including Bridge Crossing, New Hethereau, and the downtown core. Each district has its own culture, factions, and dangers.

Espers operate through various organizations, most notably the Bureau of Anomaly Control, the Eibon Antique Shop, and Sterry Express. Given Mismo's connection to Jiuyuan, she is most closely linked to the Sterry Express side of Hethereau's faction network. All playable characters connect to one or more of Hethereau's factions, and Mismo's full factional ties will become clear once her backstory is revealed.

Esper Elements and Roles

Espers harness one of six elements: Cosmos, Anima, Incantation, Lakshana, Psyche, and Chaos. These elements interact through the Esper Cycle to create powerful elemental reactions during combat. Mismo's element will determine which reactions she can trigger and which teammates pair best with her kit.

If Mismo joins the Sterry Express playable lineup, her element will likely complement the existing coverage. Jiuyuan uses Anima, Hathor uses Lakshana, and Haniel uses Psyche. This leaves Cosmos, Incantation, and Chaos as elements not yet represented within the faction. However, this is speculation, and players should wait for the official reveal before making team composition plans.

Potential Combat Role

No official information exists about Mismo's combat abilities, weapon type, or gameplay mechanics. Community discussion has centered on her visual design for clues. The yarn ball she carries has led to speculation about ranged or support-oriented gameplay, though this is purely fan conjecture. Her shy personality in the trailer could translate to a support or healer archetype, but it is equally possible that her combat persona differs from her everyday demeanor, a pattern seen with other NTE characters like Hotori and Skia.

Until Hotta Studio releases Mismo's official character introduction, any discussion of her abilities remains speculative. This section will be updated with confirmed details once they become available.

Gacha and Acquisition

Characters in Neverness to Everness are acquired through the gacha system, which uses in-game currency for pulls. S-Class characters appear at a low base rate with a pity guarantee, while A-Class characters are more common. Mismo was not available during either the Containment Test or Co-EX Test beta periods and is expected to join the roster at or after the game's official launch on April 29, 2026.

Whether Mismo will be an S-Class or A-Class character has not been announced. Her banner timing, acquisition method (limited banner, standard pool, or event reward), and any associated weapon banner are all unknown at this time. Players interested in pulling for Mismo should save resources until official details are confirmed.

Trailer Appearances

Mismo's only confirmed appearance is in the NTE debut trailer, where she was briefly shown as a passenger in Jiuyuan's car. The scene depicts her sitting in the back seat, nervously clutching her yarn ball while the vehicle moves through Hethereau's streets. She does not speak or engage in combat during the trailer, and her screen time is limited compared to characters who received dedicated spotlight moments.

Despite the brief appearance, Mismo's distinctive pink hair and headphones made her easily identifiable and sparked immediate community interest. She is one of several characters glimpsed in early NTE promotional material whose names and details were not revealed until later through community databases and character list pages.

Community Reception

Mismo has attracted a dedicated following within the NTE community despite the lack of official information about her. Her design, combining pink hair, oversized headphones, and a yarn ball, gives her a cozy, approachable aesthetic that appeals to players who enjoy characters with a softer visual style. Fan artists have been particularly drawn to her yarn ball motif, incorporating it into illustrations and character concepts.

The mystery surrounding Mismo has also fueled interest. Because so little has been officially revealed, players have taken to theorizing about her element, abilities, and backstory. Some community members have noted that her quiet, anxious demeanor in the trailer could hint at a character arc involving personal growth or overcoming fear, themes that would fit naturally within NTE's narrative framework about Espers confronting supernatural threats.
