Only three Second Generation Grimms Models were officially commissioned: Cinderella, Red Shoes, and Siren. However, Hansel and Gretel were created in secret by the V.T.C. researcher Abe, with her assistant Tanjiro. Tanjiro was well-acquainted with Abe’s work. When Hansel and Gretel were activated, Abe and Tanjiro were the first people they saw. Tanjiro had heard of Cinderella through Abe’s enthusiastic praises, often calling her the best Nikke she had ever created. He had encountered Red Shoes a few times during his lunch breaks, as she occasionally assisted Abe with research. However, he had never met Siren—until now.

While assisting Abe with maintenance checks on the blue-haired twins, Hansel and Gretel, the blonde, blue-eyed scientist adjusted her glasses and noticed Tanjiro’s exhaustion.

Abe: sighs “Go get some rest, kiddo. I can handle the rest from here. Go on now. I’ll see you first thing tomorrow morning.”

Present Time: Old Tales Dorm Room, 16:00 Hours

Cinderella sat before a hand mirror, admiring her snow-white pigtails, cerulean blue eyes, and the sleek, white bodysuit that clung to her form like a second skin.

Cinderella: “Oh! Are you Tanjiro, Abe’s assistant? You must be tired. Come, cuddle with me, Prince.”

Beside her was Siren, her black hair streaked with shiny green, also styled in pigtails. Her golden-yellow eyes shimmered as she smiled innocently. Siren’s reactive bodysuit exposed her back, shoulders, and sides. Due to the immense power of her cursed speech ability, “Kotodama,” she could only communicate through melodic “Oohs” and “Aahs,” relying on Cinderella to translate. With her unique pink liquid metal, “Spindrift,” Siren could create and manipulate virtually anything, embodying the true essence of a siren.

Siren: “Ah! Oh! Ooohah!” She smiled sweetly, her intentions pure and trusting.

Reclining on the couch was Red Shoes. Her blonde bob cut framed her hazel eyes, which bore a hint of fatigue as she delved into her research. Her signature red armored boots, powerful and sentient, were powered down and set aside to prevent them from wandering. Using her ample bosom as a makeshift cup holder, she balanced a drink while lounging. Noticing Tanjiro, she waved affectionately.

Red Shoes: “Hey, sweetie. I reviewed your Rapture research during your lunch break. Mind if I take a closer look? I promise I won’t tamper with it.”
