Today's post will be about Near from Deathnote. Near is one of the many children who studied under L. He studied along with Mello, but he is much calmer and level-headed than Mello. He and Mello lived in Wammy's House, which is a home for gifted children. It was also run by L. When Near was older, he became the leader of the SPK, and took over the Kira case. He is a bit childish, and always plays with toys. He is also quite calm, and has a habit of playing with his hair. Near also has a high intelligence level, and tends to think things similarly to how L thinks.
