## Personality

Her family jokes she's complete opposite of Shinsuke. It's true but she's also very similar to Shinsuke in many ways. She respects others, takes care of herself (sometimes), cleans up all her messes and sometimes other's as well, takes care of others like a mother. She shows interest to things she isn't interested if someone starts to tell her about something they like but she doesn't. She takes her duties as crown princess very seriously and masters everything she has to learn to show she's capable of her role.

She holds respect towards traditional things and stuff she knows costs a lot. She doesn't like destroying or trashing things like school desks or books, uniforms, others property.

She's motherly but likes to joke around. She doesn't use her powers openly unless she feels like it. She also keeps her identity as a secret and reveals it if needed. She protects her friends and in junior high got into a fight when protecting Sumire from the twins fan-girls.

Minako gets very focused on things she wants to turn out perfect.

## Background

Minako was bornin Tokyo seven minutes after her twin brother. When she came out, the crown of Grandaysia shined marking her the next empress after over one thousand years. Her family moved to Inari that is located in Lapland, Finland few months after the twins were born. Minako's father is Finnish, therefore she's bilingual. She mostly lived in Inari but every summer was sent to live with her cousin and grandmother in Hyogo. She met the Miyas when she was ten months old. Their parents became friends and after that the four had met every summer. When Minako was six her great-grandmother came and took her to Grandaysia to learn etiquette and other important stuff. She went through hard time trying to learn everything the best she could. She was forced to learn things that were written over 2 000 years ago. After complaining about it to Hoshi, she realized if she wanted to truly learn how to rule and how to make the world better, she had to learn things her way, the modern way.

When Minako was seven she had an idea of form an idol group. She started having dreams of the group members and at the age of eight formed the group. She went to star tower with the princess-best friend Yukie Alicia and with her powers send a mark to all of those who were part of the group. Minako and Alicia made their debut together before forming i100. The group started getting popular and in two years they were the most known group out there. Minako reunited with Sumire through i100 that she is also part of. Through Sumire she also reunited with Miya twins becoming friends again.

When Minako was ten she saved the last missing member of i100, Oikawa Taiga, from getting run over by a truck. It was a close one and both girls spend two days in hospital.

She takes regular trips to Japan and spends her time there working with her idol stuff. She moved to Japan at the age of fifteen when she started high school. She started school in Inarizaki and on college prep class. She often runs away from school through windows scaring the teachers for fun. She got bullied by an upperclassman who had a major crush on Osamu. It wasn't physical but Minako often found her school uniform cut on a locker after gym class, she was accused of stealing from students she has never met before, her books and other school stuff were lost and then found from trash, and she was "caught" doing something mean or "evil". However, she often caught the upperclassman doing this and was fixing or returning the stolen. No-one still believed it wasn't her destroying or stealing. Even her friends turned their backs on them when they saw her "doing the crime" too many times. Minako decided to transfer first to Karasuno and later to Itachiyama. Not only because she wanted to see what would happen but also because she needed to do research of these schools for i100's series called Haikyu!!. And since none of i100 was in those schools she transferred there on her own and did the research by getting to know everyone.

## Relationships

### i100

She's the leader and the founder of i100. Many of the fans didn't know this fact first but it was eventually confirmed publicly. The members have high respect towards Minako and she respects each one of them the same, even though she has high/good expectations for them.
