Histoire

From Neptunia Wiki

Histoire (イストワール Isutowāru) is the personified form of the tome that contains the history of Gamindustri. She was created for the task of documenting the world's history within her pages.

Due to the Neptunia series being a game that revolves around different universes and dimensions, there are multiple Histoires throughout the series, some of them with varying personalities.

Anime & Books

Hyperdimension Neptunia: Megami Tsuushin

Histoire largely assigns the goddesses to various tasks through all the series to keep the peace in Gamindustri. Histoire first kicks Neptune, Blanc and Vert out of Celestia for being lazy. She was mistakenly accused of betraying the goddesses, but it was cleared up. In Volume 1, Histoire assigns the goddesses to:

  • Delivery an offering in the New Year
  • Complete a series of quest, (which Neptune will fail), in order to teach her to be selfless for her actions, and not always restart

In Volume 2, Histoire assigns the goddesses to:

In Volume 3, Histoire gets angry at Neptune's quality of work, as she is very childish. Due to Neptune's adventure with the CPU candidates turned into babies, Neptune gained some of Histoire's perspective and she respects Histoire more. After the fight with Niio-Giio, Histoire provides the goddesses with their Ultra Dimension outfits. Neptune gets her Jersey Dress, Noire gets her La Victoire, Blanc gets her Autumn Leaves and Vert gets her Wind Dress.

The quest Histoire assigns the goddesses to are:

In Volume 4, Histoire prepares Neptune, Plutia and Peashy to travel to the past to find out why Plutia and Peashy were found asleep anyways. After the three return with the reason that they were asleep being that they needed to stop a Demon Lord's revival, Histoire orders Neptune and Noire to investigate. Once they discover that the Demon Lord is a harmless Rei Ryghts, who has been fired she takes them in.

Histoire later assigns the goddesses to investigate a series of bikini thefts. Later, she sends the goddesses to a monster suppression quest with Rei Ryghts. Due to the events of this, Histoire has to treat Rei for a poison that releases her latent powers but amplifies her negative emotions. She discovers that the source of Rei's power is the Power of Ruin, a dangerous power that if they attempted to seal Rei for the danger she poses, Rei would die. Histoire provides the goddess with an alternative which is to displace Rei's Power of Ruin with CPU power.

Neptune volunteers to do this to save her friend, which causes Neptune to lose her powers and Nepgear to succeed as CPU. ASIC takes their chance to attack but are thwarted by Neptune who gains her CPU powers again. Histoire, throughout the course of the story learned that despite the goddesses' flaws, they can keep the peace in Gamindustri very well.

Gakuen Game Neptune: Katsudou Diary

Histoire is the school board chairman at Gamicademi. In Chapter 1, she is told by Neptune about Arfoire trying to steal the vacant room. As Histoire understands the whole situation, she then denies permission to use the empty room to the 4 goddesses, Arfoire and Linda, and assigns all of them to be Student Council Executives and be known as "Gaministrators". With the latter two refusing the offer, she tasks the goddesses to create the "Universe's greatest game".

Later on, Histoire checks in with the Game Club to see their progress on their shooting game, "Compa & IF's Sexy Shooter". She notices that they have made an "Adult" game, and prohibits the group from making another shooting game. She then tells them to consider what would make the game a fun experience.
