Mifune no Haha, known as the Mother of Mifune, is an enigmatic street fortune teller in Mifune City. An elderly woman of imposing stature with white hair, piercing blue eyes, and a face shrouded by a black veil, her true identity remains a mystery. Cloaked in dark attire, she navigates the threads of time with an innate ability to perceive past, present, and future as one intertwined tapestry—a gift that severed her from ordinary human connections from childhood. Visions of her own aged visage as a girl forged a lifelong detachment, steering her toward fortune-telling after high school. By the late 1990s, she rose to prominence for flawlessly accurate predictions that thwarted tragedies, dispensing precise directives like travel advisories to sidestep personal strife.

Her foresight drew SHIKI, the volatile male persona of Shiki Ryougi, to her in 1995. Confronting his murderous urges, she foretold his inevitable demise but affirmed his yearnings would ripple into Shiki’s eventual contentment. Suspicions later entangled her in a 1998 bombing investigation led by Touko Aozaki, though conclusive ties evaded scrutiny.

As her clairvoyance dimmed, she adapted, trading vivid prophecies for seasoned wisdom and cryptic counsel. Undeterred by threats, she persisted in her trade until 2010, when Shiki dispatched Mitsuru Kamekura and her daughter, Mana, to dismantle her practice. Mana’s unexpected affinity spared the seer, echoing the quiet influence she’d long wielded. Decades prior, her words had steered SHIKI’s final choices, cementing Shiki’s reconciliation with fate. A linchpin across eras, her insights into destiny’s weave continue to bind key lives, interlacing tragedy and resolve in Mifune’s shadowed corners.
