Mio Tsukomi (Suu - Ko - Me) is a full-blooded devil, and a main focus of the Black Crown series. Having been trained by one of the seven Dragon-Kings, Mio joined Black Crown after her home was destroyed by a dragon.

## **Appearance**

Mio is described as having long and bright blue hair, two thick strands of which are more-so squiggly than the rest and fall over her shoulders. At the side of her head, she has two braids that cover her ears.

The top-half of her irises are light blue, while the bottom-half are bright yellow. She is typically seen wearing golden earrings and anti-magic bracelets around her wrists.

## **Abilities**

Being one of the strongest mages in the Underworld, Mio has a handful of abilities that make her an intimidating opponent.

* **Ice Magic:** Allows Mio to conjure and manipulate ice, bending it to create things, or shooting it from her body.
* **Snow Magic:** Allows Mio to conjure and manipulate snow, shooting it out from her body or using it create things on the battlefield
* **Frost Dragon-Slaying Magic:** Grants Mio the ability to absorb both Ice Magic and Snow Magic; additionally, through Inverse Principle, she can harm dragons more effectively
* **Frost Dragonification**
* **Fourth-Dimensional Awareness:** Is used by Mio to make sure she never loses track of her opponent, by detecting them through space-time
* **Eyes of Shimo**

## **Personality**

Mio is very prideful in her abilities, typically looking down upon anyone she sees as weaker than herself; however, despite that, she is still very caring and kind towards her guild members, looking over them almost like a mother would.

After the death of her brother, Mio became more humbled, and now seeks to save people from suffering the same fate as her by working with Black Crown.

Following her acceptance into Black Crown, she begun to develop feelings for Zane, causing her to act much differently around him. Lance states "She must have had her pride shattered so hard that she set Zane as an object of comfort."

## **Background**

Mio grew up in the Underworld alongside her brother, having been raised by the Dragon-Kings Caeruleum and Rubrum, after her parents abandoned her when she was only six.

After learning how to use Dragon-Slaying Magic, she and her brother traveled to the mortal world and took residence in Argentina, living in a small and recently-built town, until the events of Book 2 in which the town is destroyed by a dragon.

## **Relationships**

* **Zane Euphoria:** Following the death of her brother, Mio became unmotivated and refused to use her magic, until Zane convinced her that she should join Black Crown as a permanent member and help others who may potentially suffer her same fate; due to this, she developed feelings for him and rivaled Amber for his affection.
* **Amber Lucifer:** after Mio joins Black Crown through Zane's invitation, the two become good friends, noted by Lance as hitting it off almost immediately
* **Jay Valentine:** Throughout the events of the series, following Jay's acceptance into Black Crown, the two become good friends and even team up from time-to-time, facing off against powerful enemies and showing off their excellent chemistry
* **Lagann / Kieron Bernard:** Mio typically has to stop Jay and Lagann from taking their fights and arguments too far, so she generally looks over him such as a mother would

## **Trivia**

* Mio and Shota were created during the writing of the end of Book 1, meaning they weren't in the first draft of the story
* Though she is not as powerful as Jay and Lagann in her base form, her dragonification gives her the position of third-strongest in Black Crown
* The golden earrings that Mio wears belong to her mother, who got them as a gift from the mother of Ivior Gurren
* Caeruleum, the name of the Dragon-Queen that raised and taught Mio, is the Latin word for the color blue
* Mio is the first person in the series to preform a Zodiac Breaker
