Rom V2

Rom (ロム Romu), also known as one of the White Sisters (ホワイトシスター Howaito Shisutā), is one of the CPU Candidates of Lowee and Blanc's younger twin sister who represent Nintendo DS handhelds along with Ram. She is one of the two secondary tritagonists of the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise.

Due to the Neptunia series being a game that revolves around different universes and dimensions, there are multiple Roms throughout the series though all of them retain more or less the same personalities and core aspects regardless of the setting.

Shampuru CPU Big Sis

Trivia[]

  • Rom and Ram are the only dual goddesses, as in they both represent the same console. This is most likely due to the fact that the DS has two screens.
  • Despite how it appears, Rom is the older sister. However, because of her shy personality, it is Ram who usually leads the way. In the English version Ram herself tells Nepgear she is the younger twin, to her surprise.
    • Given that the 2D screen of the Nintendo DS was directly inherited from the earlier models of the Game Boy, this would mean Rom represents the 2D aspects of those handhelds.
  • Another way to tell the twins apart, besides color, hair length, and expression is by direction. Most of Ram's things are on the left while Rom's will be on the right. From our view however, Ram is on the right hand, while Rom is on the left.
  • In the 2011 popularity poll, Rom placed 10th.[5]
  • In the 4th quarter of 2014 a poll was posted to decide the possible next main character of a game (similar to Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart). Rom made it to 11th place.[6]
  • Rom's clothes are influenced by Popo from Ice Climber based on the colors.
  • Rom has half of the Nintendo DS logo on her hat.
  • In a cutscene in Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2, Rom and Ram reference the release of the 3DS by stating that Mina Nishizawa had bought them a new 3D gaming console.
  • Rom's weapons reference the Nintendo DS stylus.
