TV Special
Description
Miya Shiba, originally named Yotsuba Miya, serves as the older twin sister of Yotsuba Maya and mother to Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba. A distinguished member of the Yotsuba Clan, she mastered Mental Interference Magic, specializing in the forbidden Mental Design Interference technique. This skill enabled her to rewrite consciousness structures, earning her the epithet "Mistress of Lethe" for her unparalleled intuitive prowess.
Trained alongside Maya under Kudou Retsu, Miya’s life shifted during the Nightmare of 2062. After Maya’s rescue from kidnappers, Miya transformed her sister’s traumatic memories into impersonal data, stripping their emotional weight. The aftermath fractured their bond and triggered Miya’s relentless magic use, hastening her physical deterioration.
Bound by clan directives, Miya wed Shiba Tatsurou to merge advantageous genetics. She bore Tatsuya in 2079 and Miyuki eleven months later. Mirroring the Yotsuba’s disdain for Tatsuya as a magician, she maintained emotional distance, compounded by her involvement in the Artificial Magician Experiment. At six, Miya and Maya surgically suppressed Tatsuya’s emotions via limbic system alteration, preserving only his loyalty to Miyuki to curb his destructive potential.
During a 2092 Okinawa trip, Miya enforced clan hierarchy by relegating Tatsuya to economy seating and menial tasks. When Great Asian Union assailants struck, Tatsuya shielded her, Miyuki, and guardian Honami using Regrowth. Later, Miya confronted Miyuki with the truth of Tatsuya’s emotional constraints, demanding she embrace his role as protector over brother—a pivotal moment reshaping Miyuki’s perspective.
Chronic magic exhaustion led to Miya’s hospitalization at Izu Villa in 2092, culminating in her death two years later. Her passing spurred Tatsurou’s swift remarriage, leaving Tatsuya and Miyuki autonomous. Posthumously, her legacy endured through the emotional frameworks imposed on her children. Maya later revealed Miya’s concealed affection for Tatsuya, defying clan rejection.
Mental Design Interference’s toll eroded Miya’s emotional capacity, fostering a detached demeanor. Subtle gestures—praising Tatsuya’s intellect to Honami, resisting Miyuki’s use of "Onii-sama"—hinted at buried maternal sentiments. Her experiments solidified Tatsuya as the Yotsuba’s strategic weapon and Miyuki as heir, while her fractured bond with Maya epitomized the clan’s internal strife. Miya’s death left unresolved tensions between duty and kinship, echoing through her children’s futures.
