— Clantail to Shadow Gale |
Clantail (クランテイル), also known by her real name Nene Ono (尾野 寧々), is one of the main protagonists of Magical Girl Raising Project: Restart and Magical Girl Raising Project: breakdown.
She is the leader of Team Clantail. While she is reserved and quiet, it's easy to distinguish her true feelings by looking at her animal half's movement.
   Spoiler(s) Below!

|---|
| It is eventually revealed that she is a survivor of Cranberry's selection exams. |
| In breakdown, she is employed by Ragi Zwe Nento to accompany him to The Island and later learns that the events of Restart could have ended sooner had he cooperated with the Magical Girl Hunter. |
Appearance[]
Human[]
As a human, Nene is described to be extremely plain.
She is so short that she can pass for an elementary school student, despite being in middle school. She has black twin braids hanging from each side of her head, unfashionable black plastic glasses, and no trace of makeup on her face. It's assumed her skirt is school regulation-length.
She is compared to a nerd or class president type.
Magical Girl[]
As a Magical Girl, Clantail has short, dark brown hair with bangs parted in the middle and pointed hair buns on either side of her head. Attached to the ends of the buns are what appear to be red jewels with gold edges and a pink flower can be seen floating above her head. She has both a pair of small antlers and large antlers, with pink shapes floating above the larger pair. Tied to her antlers are purple tassels. Her eyes are two-toned, with the upper half being red and the lower half being a pale orange. She can be seen wearing red eyeshadow and red hoop earrings. She also has a red triangle pattern around her neck.
She wears a top resembling that of a kimono or yukata, with a black edging, a red haneri, and frills connected to the edges of the haneri. The base color of the top is beige with wavy, purple horizontal stripes. Attached to the front of her outfit is a large, hot pink bow, and smaller bows of the same color are attached to the bottom of her sleeves. Dark purple flower decoration's are attached to her shoulders, and dark purple feathers peak out from underneath her sleeves. There are multiple pink and purple tail-like decorations also attached to the lower end of her top, and beige, frilly fabric hangs from underneath her top in the front. An illustration in Restart (Part 2) shows her with colored nails, although it is currently unknown what color they are.
Clantail’s lower half changes depending on the animal she transforms into, but she is commonly depicted as having transformed as either a horse or deer.
Personality[]
Clantail has a calm and stern demeanor and rarely shows any emotion, even when under pressure. In spite of this, she still displays consideration for her fellow teammates and does her best to break up arguments between Rionetta and Nonako. These qualities eventually earned her the natural position of team leader.
While Clantail seems emotionless at first glance, you can actually distinguish her feelings by the half of her that is an animal. For example, when she's a deer, Pechka notices Clantail's tail wagging while eating one of her cooked meals.
In reality, Clantail’s emotionless demeanor is simply due to the fact that she doesn't know how to interact with other people. This is because she cannot understand other's mindsets, as everyone thinks differently. On the other hand, she feels she can relate more to animals, though says she doesn't particularly love them and sees them as average creatures. After she thinks this, she muses to herself that maybe she does love animals, in comparison to how she feels about people. Clantail's dream is to become a zoologist.
After the events of Restart, Clantail decides to become more sociable. She begins to learn how to cook and interact more with her classmates.
Magic[]
Can transform the lower half of her body into different animals.
Clantail's magic allows her to transform the place below her waist into an animal, starting from its neck.
In the case of a small creature, the size of the animal will be adjusted to proportionally fit Clantail's normal size. However, if transforming into a large creature, its size will not be adjusted, and Clantail will gain the size of the animal.
She can only transform into animals which she has seen in real life before. Clantail must also recognize these creatures as "animals" to begin with.

Relationships[]
Pechka[]
Clantail and Pechka are both part of Team Clantail.
Unlike Rionetta and Nonako, Clantail does her best not to show her exasperation upon Pechka's initial little support to their team. She is the kindest and Pechka respects her as a leader. Pechka will often mentally comment on each of Clantail's transformations, where she will decide if it is cute or not. She thinks "deer" and "dolphin" are in the said category.
When their team sits down to eat one of Pechka's meals, Clantail will not verbally compliment her, but instead wag her tail in enjoyment. This pleases Pechka.
At one point, Pechka rides on Clantail's back and comments that her human half and animal half have different temperatures, which causes Clantail to blush.
When Melville holds Pechka hostage, Clantail is the first to try and protect her. Near the end of the battle, Pechka sacrifices herself to save Clantail and peacefully passes, feeling she finally protected someone. Clantail manages to defeat Melville in her honor and cherishes her memories with Pechka, Rionetta, and Miyokata.
Rionetta[]
Clantail and Rionetta are both part of Team Clantail. Clantail and Rionetta are the ones who fight the enemies whereas Pechka and Miyokata explore the area.
Clantail acts as a mediator between Rionetta and Miyokata. Due to Clantail's position as a leader, Rionetta will often listen to her orders and allow herself to be pulled away from Miyokata. There is mutual respect between them.
Nonako Miyokata[]
Clantail and Nonako are both part of Team Clantail.
Nonako voices that the first time she saw Clantail, she wanted to make her her pet". She was disappointed to discover Clantail was a Magical Girl rather than an animal to befriend. Nonako respects Clantail's leadership and, like Rionetta, will allow Clantail to mediate her arguments within the group.
Shadow Gale[]
After the events of Restart, Shadow Gale and Clantail get close. Along with Pfle, they are the sole survivors of the game and seek comfort in each other.
Shadow Gale is often irritated with Pfle's behavior and will call Clantail to complain about Her Lady's troublesome personality. It's said that Shadow Gale will even spend nights at Clantail's house to briefly escape Pfle and gather herself together. Clantail likes Shadow Gale and is content towards being her friend.
During Magical Girls of the Holy Night, Shadow Gale invited Clantail, as well as her friends, to her Christmas Party.
Pfle[]
Near the end of Restart, Clantail fought Pfle and Shadow Gale as they each thought the other were the Demon Lord. After Shadow Gale was injured by Clantail, Pfle stood up from her wheelchair, surprising Clantail, and fought against her. The battle ended when Pfle found out the identity of the Demon Lord.
After the events of Restart, Pfle and Clantail become friendly.
During Magical Girls of the Holy Night, Clantail helps Pfle to deliver presents to Shadow Gale's Christmas Party.
Lapis Lazuline[]
After Pechka is killed, Clantail uses a gemstone Lapis had given her to call for help. Together, the two of them continue to fight Melville.
Lapis Lazuline’s death greatly affects Clantail, as she later states that because Lazuline protected her, she cannot die here.
Cherna Mouse[]
Melville[]
Clantail and Melville fight once Melville begins attacking the other Magical Girls, though she initially isn’t able to get close due to Melville using Pechka as a hostage. After Pechka is killed, Clantail, in a rage, transforms her lower body into the Great Dragon and kills Melville in a single claw swipe.
Nokko[]
Nearing the end of Restart, Nokko uses her magic to amplify Clantail’s feelings of suspicion and anger. Once Nokko is found out as the Evil King, Clantail looks at her with sadness, unable to bring herself to kill her. Clantail, anlongside the other survivors, later accept Nokko’s request to send a large sum of money to a member of her family.
Fal[]
Clantail's Grandparents[]
Her grandparents raised several chickens and lived deep in the mountains, where many wild animals could be seen.
Ragi Zwe Nento[]
Clantail accompanies him during the events of breakdown. Ragi respects her quietness while Clantail prioritizes him over everything else as shown when she quickly went out of the main building to search for the grayfruits when her client was weak and ill.
Clantail's opinion of Ragi took a turn after Nephilia revealed that he refused to cooperate with the Magical Girl Hunter in RESTART, which caused the Keek Incident to last longer and possibly led to the deaths of her comrades. Still, she would not act on this information until the common threat of Francisca was defeated. When Ragi revealed that the reason for his uncooperativeness was due to protocol, Clantail angrily turned down his offer to be his permanent bodyguard and ceased all contact with the mage.
Nephilia[]
Nephilia provided Clantail with some grayfruits in exchange for her signing the contract when she was untransformed. Nephilia also explains that her examination in Restart would have ended sooner if her client, Ragi Zwe Nento, had told Snow White about the password earlier.
Miss Marguerite[]
Clantail found her collapsed in the swamp and used up all her remaining grayfruits to save her. She later provided Miss Marguerite with her food and drinks. The two later paired up and followed the goddess.
Touta Magaoka[]
Clarissa Toothedge[]
Clarissa Toothedge and Clantail engage in battle in Breakdown when Clantail feels that Clarissa is up to no good. Clantail transforms into a cheetah and chases Clarissa throughout the forest as they fight.
