Mirei Shikishima

"その方向に未来はないわ・・・"

- There's no future in that direction・・・

Mirei Shikishima is the protagonist of Valkyrie Drive Mermaid, and is Mamai's Liberator. She is a young girl who possesses an outstanding figure with dark brown skin and blonde hair long enough to touch the ground. Due to her extremely reserved appearance, people think that she's a scary person but in reality, Mirei is a pure-hearted innocent person. Courageous and energetic, she doesn't avert her eyes from disturbing scenes. Still, she is fond of cute things. As a Liberator, her power is S-Class. Because of her reserved nature, only few people are aware of her past.

Background
She seems to have had military experience, and lost her first Exter in battle (whether killed or captured is still unknown). Mamori seems to remind her of her former partner, whose Arm form was also a sword. [Ep. 02]

Appearance
Mirei is known to be a remarkably mature & beautiful for her age, which has become quite a recurring gag when others find out her age.

Mirei has thick dirty blonde hair long enough to touch the ground at her feet. In spite of it's length, she has always been shown to keep her hair undone; in turn her hair forms quite a defining cascade down her back. Her hair forms a multitude of bangs along and around her face then at the very top of her head stands a thick strand.

She has bright purple purples eyes and typically wears a stoical expression; her eyebrows are the same color as her hair. She has small, but plump lips that have a distinctive pink sheen to it that brings it out, typically making her look like she's pouting when angry.

She has a outstanding figure for her tender age, having dark brown/tan skin. She is of relatively average & appropriate height and weight. Like most of the characters in the series she has large breasts.

For clothing, her standard attire seems to be that of a school uniform of unknown alma mater/origins. The school uniform is worn rather informally/untidily, consisting of a standard white blouse, which has so far been shown to be un-tucked and always having one button undone at the very bottom and top. She wears a dark brown necktie with black patterning around her neck loosely. Over her blouse she wears unbuttoned dark brown blazer which has gold patterning and buttons which almost resembles her hair in color tone—the blazer has a blue and gold insignia on the left breast. She also wears a dark and light pink patterned pleated skirt and oddly enough wears black combat boots and fingerless black gloves. When in combat, her blouse is usually unbuttoned due to the fact that she would have initiated Drive prior using her breasts as a stimulus for her Arm.

Personality
For all her fierceness, Mirei is embarrassed by what she must do to Mamori to help them survive their battles. She was visibly touched when Mamori first voluntarily puckered up for a kiss.
