Description
Misaki Nakajima, daughter of Lieutenant General Sonosuke Nakajima, was engaged to Yoshinobu Maeda—a human military officer who later commanded the vampire-hunting unit Code Zero. Before her transformation, she performed as an actress at the Imperial Theater alongside the vampire Defrott in the play "Salome." Her promising career led her to seek Defrott's advice to refine her acting skills.
During a performance, Misaki suffered a fatal onstage accident. Witnessing her impending death and moved by her regret over never performing Salome for Maeda, Defrott transformed her into a vampire by sharing his blood. This transformation fractured her mind, leaving her largely non-communicative and capable only of reciting lines from "Salome" as though trapped in the night of her accident. She frequently appeared barefoot in her ethereal white Salome costume.
Imprisoned by military authorities in an underwater facility after becoming a vampire, Misaki later escaped, prompting pursuit by Maeda and Code Zero. Despite her diminished mental state, fleeting moments of clarity surfaced during encounters with Maeda, revealing her lingering recognition of him and awareness of her condition. Her appearance remained slender and beautiful, often clad in the Salome costume or, during her human life, a sailor-style school uniform.
Before her accident, Misaki uncovered her father’s involvement with Ascra—an artificial blood source tied to the vampire crisis—and his dealings with the vampire Rufus Glenn. She confided these suspicions to Defrott, inadvertently confirming vampires' existence. This knowledge cast suspicion on her stage accident; both Defrott and Maeda later speculated it was orchestrated to silence her.
Misaki perished during a confrontation at the Imperial Theater. In her final moments of lucidity, she vowed to Maeda to halt her father’s plans for Ascra and the military use of vampires. Her death deeply impacted both Maeda and Defrott.
Posthumously, Misaki’s resemblance to journalist Aoi Shirase became significant. Aoi’s similar appearance continually reminded Maeda of Misaki, influencing his interactions with her and serving as a persistent trigger for his unresolved guilt and sense of duty.
