Description
Mitsuki Hayase is a top competitive swimmer from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, admired by Suzumiya Akane. She facilitated her best friend Suzumiya Haruka's confession to Narumi Takayuki but developed feelings for him. On her birthday, she delayed Takayuki during silver ring shopping, causing him to miss his date with Haruka. Haruka was critically injured in a car accident and entered a coma. Mitsuki blamed herself, suffering severe guilt that impaired her swimming, leading to her removal from the team and social ostracization.
Over the next three years, she supported the devastated Takayuki, eventually entering a physical relationship to ease his pain. This evolved into a committed partnership aiding their recovery. Akane discovered their relationship, accused Mitsuki of betraying Haruka, severed all ties, and harbored intense hatred. When Haruka awakened, Mitsuki struggled with jealousy and insecurity over Takayuki's renewed attention. After conflict, including a temporary breakup and an encounter with Shinji Taira, Mitsuki and Takayuki reconciled, reaffirming their bond after Takayuki formally parted with Haruka.
In Muv-Luv Alternative, Mitsuki serves as Storm Vanguard One in Special Task Force A-01, piloting Tactical Surface Fighters against the BETA. She maintains her close friendship with Haruka and Akane, who are also squad members. Her combat role emphasizes leadership and morale-boosting; she adopts a competitive, joking demeanor during missions to motivate teammates and mask her tension. This includes turning operations into contests, though she often claims kills intended for others, making her a less desirable partner. Her skills and calm under pressure establish her as a mentor figure, particularly for Shirogane Takeru. Mitsuki is outgoing, talkative, hardworking, and short-tempered. Her surname Hayase means "quick, fast" and "rapids," while Mitsuki means "water moon."
Her personal habits include a low alcohol tolerance, first revealed after the Sadogashima operation. This trait is consistent across both her civilian and military life.
