Nostrade Family
The Nostrade Family is the Mafia family that main character Kurapika joins in order to find information concerning his people's stolen Scarlet Eyes. It is headed by Light Nostrade (Raito Nosutorādo?), and according to its head bodyguard Dalzollene, is subordinate to the Ritz Family. The Nostrade Family was originally a minor provincial Mafia family of little importance, but by shrewdly using the fortune telling ability of his daughter Neon, Light Nostrade managed to greatly increase his position in the Mafia Community, to the point where even the Ten Dons seek his daughter's advice.
Before entering the Underground Auction several bodyguards to protect Neon are hired, including Kurapika, by Dalzollene. After the Phantom Troupe attack on the Underground Auction, several of the bodyguards are killed, including Dalzollene, which forces Kurapika to become the lead bodyguard. The discovery of Baise (ヴェーゼ Veize?)'s earring, one of the Nostrade bodyguards, is what helps Kurapika figure out what happened and finding the Phantom Troupe.

| Information Review - Neon Nostrade |
Neon Nostrade (ネオン ノストラード Neon Nosutorādo?) is the only daughter of the head of the Nostrade family, Light Nostrade. Neon appears in the story when Kurapika interviews for a position among her bodyguards. Neon is spoiled; she receives everything she demands by threatening to cease the use of her ability for her father's benefit. Neon is also very involved with the occult and is an avid collector of rare human flesh, such as the Scarlet Eyes of the Kurta Clan. Neon Nostrade is voiced by Yuko Maekawa.
Neon cares very little about anything else other than her collection; even the death of her head bodyguard, Dalzollene, caused her no grief. However when Eliza, a family attendant, is heartbroken, Neon agrees to leave Yorknew City, despite not having obtained the auction items she desired. She loses her ability to Chrollo.
Nen Ability: Lovely Ghostwriter: Angelic Auto Writing (ラブリーゴーストライター 「天使の自動筆記」)
 |
| Lovely Ghostwriter |
Neon's nen ability is the power to accurately foretell a person's future in poetic verse. To do this, she needs one's name or nickname, their full date of birth, and their blood type written down on the piece of paper the fortune is to be written on. If the person is not present while she is using her Lovely Ghostwriter, a photo of the person's face is also needed. Neon goes under a trance-like state so she does not remember what she writes (similar to Shalnark's "autopilot mode"), as the ghost that appears manipulates her arm to write automatically when she summons it. She is also unable to predict her own future.
Neon's predictions take the form of a poem with four or five stanzas of four lines each. Each verse represents a week of the current month, and typically events referenced in the poem are present as metaphors. If an undesirable event is predicted, the poem also includes advice on how to avoid the event.
During the events of the Yorknew story arc, Neon's ability was stolen by Chrollo Lucilfer.

5) Basho
Basho (バショウ Bashō?) is one of Neon Nostrade's new bodyguards, hired along with Kurapika.

His nen ability is called "Great Haiku: The Wandering Haiku Poet," wherein Basho writes a haiku describing a condition on a piece of paper, which then comes true.

| Information Review - Senritsu |
Melody (センリツ Senritsu?) is a Music Hunter and is the kind and understanding member of Neon's bodyguards. She is always ready to listen to anyone's confessions and has the gift to make people open up to her. As Leorio notes, she is one of the very few characters who has made Kurapika open up to her. Melody's physical appearance is in short contrast to her kind soul. Due to effects of the "Sonata of Darkness", a musical piece said to have been written by Satan himself, her body is a short and her face disfigured. However, she was not always like this; she was once a normal person. She was transformed when she and a friend listened to the Sonata of Darkness. It is composed of four parts: piano, violin, flute, and harp, and it is said that whomever listens to it will be greatly cursed. One night, Melody and her friend were drunk, and her friend played the Sonata. Its power was so great, that upon listening only to the first movement of the flute solo, Melody was disfigured, especially in her arm. Her friend was not so lucky; his entire body was disfigured like Melody's arm and soon perished after playing it. In exchange, her musical nen abilities were increased. Melody's goal is to find the sonata and destroy it. Melody has the ability to emit her aura to people to soothe ease fatigue when she plays an instrument. She also has a very sharp sense of hearing and can tell a person's psychological state just by listening to their heartbeat. For example, she knows when people are lying or when someone has completely lost his/her temper. Melody is voiced by Tarako Isono.
