Neige

Neige (ネージュ) is a human reporter that plays an important part in Mega Man Zero 4. Her name is French for "snow". She has previous relations to Craft, and she gets kidnapped by him some way into the game.

History
Neige was a reporter for Neo Arcadia and met Craft while researching a story.

After Weil took power, those opposing Weil were disposed of one by one, human or Reploid. Neige left Neo Arcadia to lead a human Caravan away from Weil's oppression.

Personality
She admires Craft, a Reploid she once interviewed during her journalist days. Even though she may have feelings for Craft, she doesn't display qualms about Zero's defeating him, and is instead grateful that Craft was eventually stopped.

Mega Man Zero 4
She first appears in the Caravan trucks trying to get away from Neo Arcadia to reach Area Zero. Weil's forces are catching up to them when Zero arrives and defeats them. SHe talks to Zero afterward, expressing interest but is still wary.

Later, Neige provides the Resistance with coordinates to the Teleporter Base, as part of the plan to infiltrate Ragnarok. In the ending, she is amongst those who watch as Ragnarok falls from the sky, wondering if Zero could have possibly survived the crash.
