Mizuha

Mizuha (ミズハ, Mizuha) is a ninth grader at Minamoto Junior High School along with her best friend, Hanna.

At the start of the Modern Era Arc, she was an eighth grader.

Background
Mizuha comes from a rather well-off family, indicated by the size of the apartment in which she lives with her parents. Her mother, Izumi, is a writer and is very demanding, always pushing her daughter to be the best at something while often forgetting about her successes. This means that Mizuha has close to no free time at all.

Her grandfather later reveals that she is destined to be the 18th leader of The Guardian Force founded by Hayase, but Mizuha never knew about this because her mother cut ties with him.

The only person that sees Mizuha as a friend (and the other way around) is a girl called Hanna. Many of Mizuha's female peers are jealous of her because many third years (and generally attractive guys) fall for her. Mizuha has always rejected their advances, but is accused of "stealing" them from others.

Appearance
Mizuha is a girl with a slender build and long, black hair. Most of the time, she wears a black hair tie with a feather attached to it. She says it's her favorite.

Personality
At first glance, Mizuha is a gentle and rather reserved girl.

In reality, however, she has been raised to see herself as perfect and everyone else as imperfect. She doesn't understand why the people around her have trouble with the things she finds to be easy and looks down on them. Her desire to be perfect is strong enough to make her want to end her life before becoming an adult, thus preventing her body from becoming imperfect with age.

After she learns of the history of her family and Fushi, she is determined to "obtain" him and become "truly perfect". This sudden, newfound goal ostensibly provides Mizuha a more positive outlook on her life, causing her to become more accepting with her "imperfect" family and friends.

Skills

 * Talented

Mizuha has had many "hobbies" in her life, from playing the piano to dancing ballet and being in the naginata club. The naginata is a traditional Japanese blade as well as the blade Hayase and her successors have used, and being in a club with the same name probably means that she can handle the weapon. On top of that, she has only ever quit these hobbies or clubs after winning an important tournament.


 * Stronger than she seems

While Mizuha is a slim and feminine girl, she also seems to possess a certain amount of strength. For example, she can carry a tower of books with no visible issues concerning weight and balance. Another time she's carrying several bags to a trash container. She throws the bags up high, around two times her own height, and thus they land atop the other bags in the container. Again, she does this without any visible trouble.
