Nene

Nene (ねね) essentially replaces Kunoichi in Samurai Warriors 2 but has different techniques to separate herself from her. She is Hideyoshi's wife.

Samurai Warriors
Nene is a maternal and cheerful woman who considers every character to be her child. Her three closest "children" are Kiyomasa Kato, Masanori Fukushima, and Mitsunari Ishida. She dearly loves Hideyoshi but isn't too fond of his cheating habits. She helps her husband conquer Japan and keeps him from seeing his courtesan, Chacha. She fights until Hideyoshi unites the land and makes a meal for her family.

In her dream stage, she goes out in the midst of Sekigahara to protect her husband's dream of a happy world. She delivers "spankings" to the naughty children on the Western and Eastern armies. Kobayakawa and Okuni help her out. When she wins the battle, Nene scolds both armies for not playing nice with one another.

Warriors Orochi
In Warriors Orochi, Nene leads her small but independent army of ninja. Using various covert abilities, she routinely defies Orochi.

Development
Designers were originally looking to add "the cute mom" of the cast. She started as a darker character but changed when the staff wanted another heroine character. To some of the staff members, she is the good older sister type who always has a smile on her face. Her ninja techniques were made to add variety in the cast.
