okay, i'll make this thread of a get to know nagisa ran thread full of things i know! i'll add more as i either learn or remember more!
✧ he was first raised by a godfather figure who he addresses as 'Father'. he was raised as a treasured item (like a doll), which is why he's so incredibly sheltered to the world around him. even with that and knowing that Father wasn't a good man, he still respects him.
✧ not sure if it's known who his true parents are, but he was adopted three times: by Father, by hiyori's family around middle school, and again by his current family! his current family consists of a mother, father, and a younger brother and sister
✧ even by his second year in yumenosaki (a member of the first fine), he's terrible at speaking. he stumbles, uses short sentences, and he has abrupt pauses in his sentences at times! he also sometimes repeats himself and he seems sorta insecure abt what he's saying.
✧ to go off my previous bullet, when he left fine he left japan to try to 'find himself' as resigning as an idol. instead he loses himself, and he even forgets japanese! he only comes back because hiyori asked him to come, even if he truly didn't want to bc of how rough it is
✧ the ore-sama image he has is only an act crafted by ibara for the sake of adam, and expresses how difficult of a time he is trying to learn it and how he doesn't even like it because it's hard to act as someone he isn't.
despite this, he gets so happy when he gets it right!

✧ nagisa mentions that he met subaru's father for a short time and it was he that taught him how to sing in S.S.
✧ this isn't necessarily a plot point, but i always find it funny that nagisa mistakes ritsu for rei and he gets so annoyed about it
✧ though he was introduced as having an interest in archeology, it's heavily implied anthropology is an interest to him as well (at least to a certain degree).
his interests are known to change quickly as well! one time it was rock climbing, now it seems to be oil painting

✧ nagisa's favorite food is chocolate and he loves interesting people! in contrast, however, his dislike is himself. :(
✧ i also find it interesting that nagisa tends to address the people in his age group with -kun, and drops the honorific for people younger than him.
for example, he'll call hiyori and eichi 'hiyori-kun' and 'eichi-kun' but he'll simply call ibara and jun as just that.

✧ i forgot to go off a previous point, but his hobby is 'relations with people' which is interesting because he often states that he finds himself distant from other humans and even states at times that he wants to stop being one.
✧ one time tsumugi gave nagisa a bath, and then nagisa left and then locked tsumugi inside because he forgot about him
✧ despite going to different schools, tsumugi tries to keep into constant contact with nagisa!! in s.s. nagisa talked to tsumugi about what he said to mao, and he seemed concerned since he knows he's bad at communicating with others (as seen in S.S. and even wondergame)!
✧ nagisa acts as a foil to ibara's plans amusingly enough! he can see through ibara's plans and he usually doesn't care for it. i'll revisit this once i find the point in wondergame, but for now i'll show autumn live!
✧ here's some little snippits of hiyori sharing nagisa's backstory! also hiyori mentions he had a lot of time to do this because his brother was the heir to the family, so he could do as he wished!
✧ left off a few screenshots from hiyori sharing backstory, so here ya go!
✧ tsumugi mentions that nagisa never speaks of himself, almost as if he has no sense of self. this could play heavily into him disliking himself so highly.
it's also interesting that he forgets tsumugi's name despite being close (but then again he forgot anzus after 1 convo).

✧ hiyori refers to nagisa as both calamitous (disasterous) and a black hole, while also referring to him as his life partner. nagisa refers to them as soulmates, and he also calls hiyori 'his sun' in wondergame!
✧ i also find it interesting that hiyori pleads w/ trickstar to pull nagisa out of this 'black hole' because he's too scared to hurt him to do it himself...
✧ ibara lays out the whole stage in a detailed script for nagisa. from how to interact with ibara, to how to communicate with the audience, he lays it out so nagisa doesn't make a single mistake if he follows it!
✧ nagisa often shows earnest gratitude and tries to get closer to ibara, while ibara tries to push himself away! it's not really a plot point, i just find it interesting since it happens both in autumn live, S.S., and the sub stories they share together.
✧ the waviness of nagisa's hair comes from ibara braiding his hair out of stress! nagisa doesn't seem to mind it though; in fact, he loves it.
✧ ...no real point to this, i just find nagisa and ibara's dynamic pretty funny and cute
✧ also no real point to this, i just found nagisa's reaction and lack of self awareness pretty funny
✧ nagisa can't remember mao's name, but somehow he remembers maa-kun a while later and i find that so freaking funny
✧ nagisa didn't pick up the phone and tsumugi instantly thought nagisa just walked off and got hit by a car 
and mao's reply was just so funny i had to include it

✧ his surname "ran" (乱) translates as "rebellion" and his given name "nagisa (凪砂) translates as "calm sand".
