Description
Miyo Saimori, eldest daughter of the Saimori family, was born without supernatural abilities. Following her mother Sumi's death, she suffered severe mistreatment. Her father Shinichi deemed her useless, while stepmother Kanoko and half-sister Kaya subjected her to constant abuse, reducing her to a servant-like existence within her own home. This trauma left her withdrawn, emotionally scarred, and convinced of her unworthiness for kindness or respect.
Her life shifted when her family arranged her marriage to Kiyoka Kudou, head of the prestigious Kudou family, seeking to extract value from her. Despite Kiyoka's reputation for driving away fiancées with his cold demeanor, Miyo's situation defied expectations. Initially intimidated, she gradually experienced genuine care in his household, especially from the elderly servant Yurie. This environment allowed her to slowly open up, revealing resilience and innate kindness beneath years of cruelty.
Miyo's background became pivotal upon uncovering her lineage to the powerful Usuba family. Her mother Sumi, a Usuba descendant possessing telepathic abilities, had sealed Miyo's powers to shield her from exploitation. This heritage made Miyo a target for factions like the Gifted Communion, led by Usuba branch member Naoshi Usui, who coveted her genetic potential. Her latent abilities—including dream manipulation and spiritual power—surfaced under stress, notably during a kidnapping attempt by the Tatsuishi family orchestrated by Minoru Tatsuishi.
Miyo's development centered on embracing this heritage and asserting her agency. Reuniting with maternal relatives, including cousin Arata Tsuruki (Usuba) and grandfather Yoshirō Usuba, she learned to wield her abilities deliberately. She transitioned from passive acceptance to actively confronting threats, directly opposing Naoshi's schemes and refusing to be a pawn. This growth solidified within her relationship with Kiyoka; their mutual support evolved into deep trust and partnership, contrasting her earlier isolation.
Her journey culminated in reconciling her dual identity: acknowledging the Saimori abuse while claiming the strength of her Usuba lineage. She forged a new family with Kiyoka, moving beyond victimhood to protect others and secure her future. Her evolution from a subdued survivor to a confident individual underscored her resilience and capacity for self-determination.
