In the Phantasy Star II game manual, each of the playable adventurers is introduced with a brief summary, a picture of their in-game portrait, and an upper body illustration that provides a glimpse of their personality and inner character. These illustrations would later be reused in almost every artwork collection and book that included Phantasy Star II material, but rarely with the quality offered in this example.
This is the illustration used for Nei. Her half human and half animal traits make her a vital member of the party, at least until the unfortunate event that lends the game much emotional impact.
In the original Phantasy Star II manual, Nei's illustration was partially obscured. The manual was hole punched for insertion into a binder. The holes happen to go right through Nei.
