Mikoto Yamato, a human adventurer from the Far East, endured a childhood marked by loss. Orphaned young, she was raised under the care of deities Tsukuyomi and Takemikazuchi in their orphanage, forging a paternal bond with the latter that led her to join his Familia. Her youth intertwined with Haruhime Sanjouno, whose clandestine nighttime escapades she facilitated, straining relations between Haruhime’s father and the shrine. Her striking appearance features long black hair swept into a ponytail, bluish-purple eyes, and a petite 157 cm frame. She dons a purple kimono layered over a sarashi, accented by a dark red sash, thigh-high boots, and a red shoulder guard. In battle, a white-and-red headband crowns her brow. Loyalty and humility anchor Mikoto’s character. She rejects deception, wrestles with secrecy, and deflects praise despite her prowess. Driven by duty, she prioritizes allies’ safety, even at personal risk. A clandestine thrill in wielding destructive power surfaces during combat—a trait she vehemently disavows. Decades of martial training honed her mastery of katanas, spears, axes, and shurikens. Her signature techniques include *Mikazuchi*, a precision grappling throw, and *Zekka*, a lightning-fast draw strike lethal to formidable foes. The gravity magic *Futsunomitama* unleashes crushing force fields, pivotal against adversaries like the Black Goliath. Complementary skills—*Yatanokurogarasu* for monster detection and *Yatanoshirogarasu* for ally tracking—paired with *Abnormal Resistance*, fortify her survivability. Seeking to fund her shrine, Mikoto migrated to Orario with her Familia. Temporarily affiliating with Hestia Familia, she aided Bell Cranel in the War Game against Apollo Familia, intending a year-long tenure. Notable trials include rescuing Haruhime from Ishtar Familia—a near-fatal clash with Samira thwarted by Ottar’s intervention—and surviving Freya Familia’s brainwashing during their campaign against Bell. In the Faction War, her tactical adaptability proved vital in countering enemy stratagems. Her arsenal evolved through hardship: initial blades Shinonome and Zansetsu shattered, replaced by Welf Crozzo’s Kotetsu and Shakuya. Defensive gear like Salamander Wool and Undine Cloth shields against elemental threats. Beyond battle, Mikoto finds solace in cooking, hot springs, and sketching. A latent self-destructive impulse once risked awakening a perilous skill, halted by Hestia’s intervention. The moniker *“Zetsuei”*, earned through combat ferocity, embarrasses her despite its renown. Relationships define her journey: unwavering loyalty to Takemikazuchi, an unbreakable bond with Haruhime, and respect for Bell’s idealism—admired but untinged by romance. Her focus remains rooted in familial ties, cementing her as both warrior and guardian.
