Mitsue Takeda, known as Godmother, serves as a fortune teller wielding significant spiritual abilities, though her sight proves less comprehensive than Miko Yotsuya's. She presents as an elderly woman with gray hair and brown eyes, typically adorned in traditional fortune-telling attire: a hooded robe decorated with eye motifs, a ceremonial facial shroud, bracelets, and a necklace. Her shop acts as a hub for those seeking spiritual guidance.

Her past includes taking in a young man, Shindou Romm, as a favor to a friend, caring for him despite the dangers posed by his formidable powers. Her late master, Oka Towako, sacrificed herself for Romm, later manifesting as one of the Shrine Spirits—an event profoundly shaping Mitsue's grasp of spiritual burdens. Recognizing her limitations, especially after her protective bracelets failed Miko, she eventually closed her fortune-telling business.

Mitsue maintains a cautious stance toward Romm, wary of his capabilities, yet reveals a protective instinct toward spiritually sensitive individuals like Miko and Yuria Niguredō. She intervenes to warn them of impending threats, such as the malevolent God of the Mountain. Her personality blends stubbornness, evident when rejecting Yuria's apprenticeship requests, with underlying compassion as she quietly monitors those caught in supernatural perils.

The kanji for her given name, "Mitsue," allows interpretations like "light and favor," "three and branch," or "fullness and prosperity," while her surname, "Takeda," may stem from characters meaning "military" and "field." These linguistic possibilities align with her role as a seasoned figure navigating the complexities between the visible and unseen worlds through experience and mediation.
