Noramyako
Noramyako
No wonder Doraemon fell for her...
Click here to see her in the 2005 anime
Doraemon's first girlfriend. She played a very prominent role in Doraemon's life before he went back to 20th century (in the 1979 anime)/21st century (in the 2005 anime).
- Adaptational Attractiveness: A zig-zagged example. In the original manga and the 1979 anime, Noramyako's design shared the same proportions as the rest of the cat robots seen throughout the franchise. The 1995 movie, however, redesigned her into an attractive Humanoid Female Animal with eyeshadow, a slender, feminine figure and long legs, something which carries over to The Doraemons. This is later undone in the 2005 anime, with Noramyako's cuter appearance being much closer to her original design.
- Ballet: Her specialty is ballet and her slim body helps with the movement. After a wonderful performance at the Graduation Day, she later becomes a successful ballerina.
- Innocently Insensitive: Upon seeing Doraemon without ears, she unintentionally bursted into laughter, which led to his depression and chain of events that turned his color blue. After Dorami told her about what happened, she regretted what she had done and asked for his forgiveness. Good for her, he's not that vengeful.
- Prehensile Tail: She used her tail to wrap Doraemon’s leg and rescued him.
- Rescue Romance: With Doraemon is the rescued one from falling into a blast furnace.
