Description
Mimika Mikagami, a third-generation Fafner pilot from Tatsumiyajima, sports red hair typically in braided pigtails that gradually lengthen and dark blue eyes. Piloting side effects alter her physical form, causing crystalline growths across her body that temporarily consume her left eye. She initially operates wearing a Goubain helmet but later discards it.
Athletic and energetic, Mimika displays resilience and occasional recklessness. Trained by Sakura Kaname, her stamina surpasses her peers. Her interests include manga, particularly her admiration for the fictional hero Goubain. Receiving a Goubain helmet from Hiroto Douma profoundly impacts her, cementing her pilot identity. She forges close bonds with fellow third-generation pilots Reo Mikado and Sui Kaburagi, with Reo evolving into her romantic partner.
Assigned the retrofitted Mark Funf Kai Fafner, designated XV and nicknamed Tsukuyomi, Mimika specializes in wielding its Aegis shielding system. She employs these shields defensively and offensively, reshaping them to trap enemies or assist allies. During *Exodus*, she awakens her Super Dimensional Power, generating advanced rectangular barriers that nullify attacks or slice targets. This ability accelerates her assimilation symptoms, manifesting as physical crystalline growths. The Tsukuyomi later upgrades to the Einherjar Model, mitigating assimilation while enhancing her SDP via internal accelerators. By *The Beyond*, she wields twin spear-like weapons combinable into a larger polearm, reflecting combat synchronization with Reo. She retains her signature "Goubain Program, Activate!" battle cry, initially a self-motivational phrase without technical function.
Her development unfolds through critical missions. In the Fifth Operation Azure, she confronts Rina Nishio after Rina's Fafner goes rogue, forcibly halting its movements and pleading for ejection. Mimika endures partial assimilation before Kenji Kondou intervenes. Three years later, she participates in retrieving Soushi Minashiro and witnesses his adult return. During battles against threats like Mark Nicht, she coordinates closely with Reo, expressing eagerness to demonstrate new capabilities.
Mimika and Reo eventually discuss post-retirement plans, including cohabitation, during a family dinner where parental expectations about grandchildren arise. Their relationship deepens when both suffer near-total assimilation during a later operation, requiring Soushi's intervention via Mark Nicht to prevent full crystallization. They enter comatose states within assimilation chambers until Miwa Hino and the Mark Sein absorb Mir Altair's power, catalyzing their recovery. Post-recovery, they marry and presumably retire from active duty.
