Fun Facts About Near:
He is the youngest character in the series! Right after him is Matt by a margin of 569 days (1 year, 6 months and 23 days), and the oldest is Watari by a margin of about 58 years.
He is also among the shortest - an inch taller than Misa according to some translations of Volume 13, and equally as tall as her in others. Rester is the tallest, standing at approximately 6'3", which is around 1'3" taller than Near.
From chapters 59-108 of the manga, Near appears in a grand total of 724 panels. This includes panels that show any identifiable part of him (e.g. his hand, the top of his head), but excludes Linda's drawing of him and any official art in the chapter that was not part of the plot. If you count the drawing & art, he's present in 741 panels!
Of all the chapters he's in, he makes the most appearances in chapter 82, appearing in a total of 49 panels. For comparison, the next highest is chapter 101, in which he is shown 33 times.
He's shown twirling his hair 84 times, split across 18 chapters and 59 pages. He always uses his right hand, and his left hand is often resting on his knee.
He can be seen smiling in 32 panels across 12 chapters. The majority of these happen in chapter 78, where he is shown smiling in 11 out of the total 19 panels in which his mouth is visible.
According to Volume 13 (page 210), Near estimated that he spent 4080.02 USD on toys over the duration of the SPK's work on the Kira case. Out of 25 total items listed, 7 of them were purchased in Japan, and the other 18 were purchased in New York.
Of all his toys, the puppets make the most appearances, showing up in a total of 11 chapters. The second highest is his robots, which were present in 10 chapters. Despite being commonly associated with him, cards and puzzles were among the least popular, each appearing in only 2 chapters.
He has 28 rubber ducks (as far as we know).
Four of his toys are handmade! These are the finger puppets, the radio tower model he assembles out of paper, one of his darts, and the figures from one of his Lego sets (which are pre-made but he draws on the details and faces with a marker). The L mask he wears in the warehouse is also handmade.
He has a very bizarre-looking set of Christmas ornaments hanging from his Christmas tree, including 2 robots, 3 video game consoles and what looks like a black cat peering out of a gift-wrapped box.
The last person to address him by name in the manga is Light, in chapter 107. After this, he is only addressed once more by Aizawa, who refers to him as L.

hello there i absolutely love you account first of all
and secondly i thought it would be interesting to know your take on any scent hcs for these boys like shampoo brand, if they like colognes, etc
thank youuuu <3
I love these types of requests!
I think L smells like neutral soap and sugar. He seems picky about strong smells, so he might like alumstone deodorant, which contributes to having a pretty faint, neutral scent. It's nice if you're overwhelmed by these kinds of things because, despite the smell being soft, it's still present, and it's still him.
Mello smells like chocolate and gunpowder. I think this is pretty much canon information that someone forgot to include in the databook. He looks like he enjoys lotions, perfumes, and particularly expensive ones. Perhaps there's a hint of spice, something addictive that suggests danger
Matt probably smells like cigarettes, weed, and bubblegum. I will not elaborate on this, I don't even know girl, I just— look at him and tell me you can't see it.
Near smells like soap, but with a bit more of a zesty scent. His long hair retains the shampoo smell for hours, and you can take a deep breath near his collarbone and fill your lungs with the stimulating aroma.
