Gkscotty: /* Colours of Bell Nuts */

Bell Nuts are small, bell-shaped dry shells with a hard seed or other small ball inside. When the nut is shaken the ball creates a soothing rattle. They feature most heavily in [[episode 12]].

Bell nuts are given as gifts at the [[Passing of the Year Festival]], with the colour of the nut signifying a specific emotion or message the giver wishes to give the reciever. This tradition only takes place in the closing hours of the old year, though it may be acceptable to give them at other times - in [[episode 12]] [[Reki]] gives white bell nuts to [[Hyouko]] and [[Midori]] a week early.

== Cultivation ==
Bell Nuts are grown in the months leading up to the [[Passing of the Year Festival]], and during that time different materials are added to the soil to give them their distinctive colours. The nuts are ready to be bought at least a week before the festival.

== Colours of Bell Nuts ==

Each [[Color Symbolism|colour]] of bell nut is intended to pass on a different message.

* '''Red''': Thank you for taking care of me.
* '''Yellow''': Love
* ''' White ''': Thank you and good bye.
* '''Green''': Congratulations!
* '''Brown''': Sorry!

The meaning behind these colours can be carried without bell nuts - in [[episode 12]] the [[haibane]] from the [[Abandoned Factory]] give their final message to [[Reki]] by setting off yellow fireworks. [[Reki]] returns the favour by sending them a yellow cake.

Gkscotty:

Kurumi is a fan-created Haibane character in [[The Very First Haibane]] webcomic by Archangel. She is mostly known as the "space cadet" of the strip. Her sight is strongly impaired and she requires her glasses in order to see anything. She briefly had a close relationship with [[Usagi]].

She had her debut in [http://firsthaibane.rubychan.de/strip/127 Strip #127].

== Appearance ==

A caucasian Haibane girl in her teens. Her hair is purple and shoulder-length and she wears thick glasses with round frames. She also wears a black and white maid's costume, which [[Makiba]] claims makes her look like a goth.

== Notable Quotes ==

* ''I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!''
* ''Well I never...!''

== Cosplay ==
