- Old History:
- Mirai was born into nobility during her time as a human. When she married, she quickly died from a mysterious illness that took her very suddenly. She ended up lost in the Rukongai, her mannerisms as a "high class" lady getting her into quite a bit of trouble with normal people. Here, she was nothing and that was quickly made clear when a mid-level mob boss, named Goro Sato, cut off her path to the Gotei and forced her to work under his thumb. Mirai was trained in the ways of assassination. She learned how to blend in and strike without anyone noticing. This stopped on her final mission when she refused to murder a very pregnant woman, named Kasumi, who was trying to flee Goro’s unwanted claim on her to be with the man she loved. Faking Kasumi’s death, Mirai returned with a job “well done.”
It wasn’t long later that Mirai’s lie was revealed when Kasumi was seen in another district. Instead of calling her out or punishing her, like Goro normally would have, he sent Mirai on another mission. This time, it was to attack a man named Yuuto that was traveling without permission in Goro’s territory. As Mirai attempted to complete her mission, Yuuto proved too strong, too trained for her skill level, and she was soundly defeated. Instead of being killed, Yuuto drew out her confession and Mirai quickly squealed on Goro, especially when Yuuto made it clear that sending someone of her level after him was a trick to have Yuuto kill her, not the other way around. With Yuuto’s help, the Gotei raided Goro and all of his properties, freeing prisoners, arresting most members, and killing Goro himself.
Though she turned in a rather large mob, Mirai was not free. The Gotei wanted her arrested, but Yuuto defended her and got her an offer to join the Gotei, after passing the required classes. Mirai had no intention of ignoring the offer because the Gotei had once been in her sights years ago. It was only Goro that kept her from it. Though Mirai’s time at the academy was uneventful, she proved herself a strong asset in hand-to-hand combat. She excelled in speed techniques and made a name for herself as an elite student. Socially, Mirai found herself on the outside of most circles. Her background was spread throughout the school, and everyone knew about her dealings with criminals, so she had a hard time fitting in. Luckily for her, this wasn’t new. She focused on her classes and graduated near the top.
It came by no surprise to anyone that Mirai immediately joined the Covert Ops Division of the Gotei United. Though she proved extremely skilled, and definitely capable of higher ranks, Mirai’s difficulty socializing and handling too much responsibility prevented her from applying. She instead focused on the freedom she felt in having what felt like a normal job, her own place, and just being her own person. She took a few years to learn new skills, such as skating or jewelry making. She discovered old forms of media, specifically anime and manga. She fell in love with old fashioned stories like Inuyasha, Fruit’s Basket, Fairy Tail, Naruto, and anything created by a man named Hayao Miyazaki. Since much of this was lost, she even took the time to dig into old archives to finish these stories.
After a few years of just being herself, Mirai decided it was time to stop resting and began intense training to hone her skills. She trained with members of her Division, becoming especially close to Shuten Suika. After convincing the woman to spar with her a few times, they became good friends and sparing partners. They advanced their skills by challenging each other to games of speed and accuracy. Mirai also took the time to train with her best friend, Yuuto. They always kept in contact, and he checked on her frequently. Any time his job would allow, Yuuto took the time to get Mirai up to a level where she could even help him if he needed it. Mirai now credits the amount of time she spent with Shuten and Yuuto with how strong of a Shinigami she currently is, and for her less fragile self-esteem.
New History:
Mirai was a troubled child who terrified her step-mother with some of the most manipulative acts. Wanting her father’s attention only on her, Mirai’s self-harm and convincing crying fits was close to tearing the marriage apart, but when her step-mother ended up pregnant and more determined to prove Mirai’s behavior, she was caught hurting herself and blaming her step-mother. Since she seemed to young for jail time, she was punished by not being allowed to leave her room. By chance, a fire broke out in the house and her parents fled without her. Her screams for help reached them, but she wasn’t rescued and died in the flames.
Mirai’s early years in the Rukongai brought her into the expected crime, but what people did not expect was how good she was at it or how much she enjoyed the fight, or the causing of pain. She ended up the wild right-hand of a ruthless group of criminals and stayed with them until she attacked the wrong man: a shinigami by the name of Yuuto. Defeated, the man gave her a second chance at life and led her to the Gotei Thirteen and away from the criminals that surrounded her. Having been in the gang for so many years, her knowledge of their networks led to many arrests and a few gangs even being scattered to the wind. Her knowledge proved fruitful.
After taking the time to graduate from Shino Academy, Mirai joined the Covert Ops Division, which came by no surprise to anyone. Mirai tried meshing into society without the old urge to kill and gain power, but the most she did was learn how to be social with people under the acceptable behavior the law and culture allowed. She found herself annoyed by most of the people around her, and so she had to put on a mask to get them to ease up around her. After a few years of this deceptive behavior, she became close to Yuuto and Shuten, often using training and spars to get to know them more, but she was never truly able to be authentic with them.
Always on the outside, looking in at the lives of those around her, Mirai has spent her years never truly being able to connect, even if it was her desire to do so. Mirai just looks at the world through the eyes of someone who values power and strength over anything else. Friendship, trust, love… They are all new, and complicated. So, she ignores them to the best of her ability. Mirai instead trains her body further by going on constant missions and putting herself in combat as often as possible. It’s the best distraction for all the chaos going on in her head.
