Similar to Ginko she smokes MushiTobacco to keep Mushi away. Nui is a Mushishi from an isolated yet beautiful village in the mountains. Due to her tendency to attract Mushi she rarely stayed in her village and often used to travel from place to place driving Mushi away. She still often used to visit her parents friends and her husband and child. Due to her research on the Ginko she was constantly exposed to its light and that changed her appearance.
