Primula

Primula is a main character in the Shuffle! series. She is a homunculus developed by a joint venture between the worlds of the Gods and the Devils. After all the stories she heard about Rin, she grew curious and came to the human world to meet him. A hundred years after the events of the original Shuffle!, she is the director of the guardian of the gates that connects between worlds while occasionally traveling to the human realm. Primula is a strange, stoic and calm girl that's often seen carrying a stuffed cat around, which is a present from Rin to Lycoris. Before she died, she gave it to Primula. She doesn't talk much and is extremely bad at socializing. Mostly, she doesn't display any desires, expressions, or interests (except in cats). She has emotions but lacks expressiveness. The King of Gods and King of Devils also mentioned that she does have feelings, but due to being raised in isolation in the laboratory, she doesn't know how to express them. She was not close to anyone but Lycoris, whom she looked up to as a sister. However, during her route in Shuffle! and Shuffle! Essence+, once she meets Rin, her personality begins to change slowly. She starts to warm up to Rin and the others enough to gradually showing her real character, a happy and bubbly girl. Later, in Shuffle! Episode 2, Primula appears to have become a mature woman while keeping her youthful appearance. Now, she's a jolly and enigmatic individual. In her free time, she likes to travel to the human world while visiting her daughter.
