In a side quest of the first Hyperdimension Neptunia game, you fight a boss
called Macaroon. Here's an image of her (unsure if this is from the original
or Re;Birth)

In Trinity Universe, she appears as an Inn Keeper (before Pamula takes over)
and as a shop keeper (before Violet takes over).

I've played though the Disgaea Games (with the exception to _Disgaea D2: a
Brighter Darkness_ , but it was released after Trinity Universe and
Hyperdimension Neptunia) and I haven't seen her, so I assumed that she is a
Gust character probably from the Atelier series, since both games feature Gust
characters (Hyperdimension Neptunia has a character who represents Gust called
Gust like how NISA has Nisa).

I thought she'd appear in the Atelier Iris series, but I'm currently on the
third one and I have yet to meet her, but I know some of the Atelier Games
were never localized and I'm assuming she's from the Atelier series (Gust also
did _Ar Tonelico_ and _Ar no Surge_ ).

So I am wondering, where does she appear? Or was she an original character
only used in cross-over works?

Who is Macaroon?


According to [Torisuda's answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/14157/1587)
to [another question of
mine](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/14153/which-trinity-universe-
characters-belong-with-each-developer) Macaroon seemed to be an original
character in _Trinity Universe_.

Since Trinity Universe came out in 2009 and _Hyperdimension Neptunia_ in 2010
it would seem that Macaroon is an original character used in cross-over works
as such doesn't appear in any other previously released Gust Game.
