Description
Mion Takamine is one of the three main protagonists of Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream. She was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on March 3, 1997, to an Italian-Japanese father named Pietro. Due to her parents’ frequent travels, Mion spent much of her early childhood moving around the world. By the time the story begins, she lives alone in Japan, having been scouted by the agency Pretty Top to become a Prism Star. Before that, she gained fame as a charismatic reader model for fashion magazines, building a huge following.

Mion’s personality is defined by a strong-willed and headstrong nature. She is not always honest about her feelings and often blurts out her thoughts without hesitation. She tries to appear mature and composed, but underneath that polished surface she feels deep loneliness from being separated from her parents, though she rarely shows it. Mion is also afraid of dark places, ghosts, and other supernatural things. In professional settings, she can be stoic, poised, and even cold toward people she does not know well, but she changes her demeanor depending on the situation.

At the start of the series, Mion has little interest in Prism Shows, viewing them as a waste of time. However, after witnessing Aira Harune and Rizumu Amamiya perform during the Tiara Cup, she rediscovers her motivation. This leads her to join forces with them, and together they form the unit MARs. After losing the Summer Queen Cup, Mion gradually lets her guard down and becomes genuinely close to Aira and Rizumu, eventually considering them true friends.

Mion serves as the former Prism Queen within the group, having already achieved that title before the series begins. Her role in the story is to bring a cool, professional edge to MARs, balancing Aira’s innocence and Rizumu’s energetic optimism. She cares deeply about her teammates and grows from a seemingly aloof loner into a loyal and supportive partner.

Key relationships include her admiration for Jun, the manager of Pretty Top, who is ten years her senior. She initially finds Wataru, another member of the male unit Callings, unreliable but later comes to trust him after he proves he will protect her. In the future, Mion becomes the President of Pretty Top, with Wataru working alongside her. Her bond with Aira and Rizumu is central to her development, as they help her overcome her loneliness and soften her exterior.

Notable abilities include exceptional dancing, fashion sense, and singing skills. She is highly professional and can deliver perfect on-stage smiles and performances. Her signature Prism Jump involves skating on a piano keyboard that winds like a roller coaster and drawing a five-pointed star in the air. Her personal song is titled Switch On My Heart, and she is known for her catchphrase, Mion switch on! Her preferred fashion brand leans toward cool and mature styles, often using purple and white. As the former Prism Queen, she possesses the skill and experience needed to perform advanced Prism Jumps and later helps her friends work toward achieving the legendary Aurora Rising.
