## Personality

Mikado seemed to be a friendly girl with a strong moral code as she helped Nijimi Anazawa become a proper magical girl and stopped her from killing and before that she showed constant worry for Nijimi by asking her if she was alright when her family was going through a financial crisis due to her dad borrowing millions of dollars for loans. She would always try to assist Nijimi and help her through anything she could imagine.

Mikado also has a rather serious side, An example of this is when she went to Nijimi's house when Nijimi was about to make the Shark Loaners die, but she quickly had stopped it with a serious face, and explained in a serious manner about being a proper magical girl.

## History

Not much of Mikado's personal life is known, or what her misfortune was that made her turn into a magical girl; But When Nijimi Anazawa's family was going through financial problems, Mikado would often ask her if she was okay, which Nijimi would reply that nothing was wrong and nothing bad was happening, not wanting to worry Mikado. When Nijimi obtained her Stick was going to abuse its power to kill the Loan sharks harassing her family, Mikado stepped in using her own stick to stop her, she thus then told Nijimi that she had a dream and she couldn't accomplish that dream if she was a murderer and promised to help her achieve her dream of becoming an Idol, they thus then used Nijimi stick to remove all memory of the incident from the memories of the loan sharks and Nijimi's Family.

One day, when she was in a karaoke bar with Nijimi, the *"Magical Girl Hunter"* appeared and killed her by hitting her in the head with her hammer to gain her stick. The most odd thing about her death was that the cause of it was blood loss, meaning the head was alive for a few minutes until it grow cold despite being exploded, hence the forensics was baffled by the autopsy report, though Mikado was decapitated.

Since that day, Nijimi wants to avenge her death by killing Rina Shioi for taking away her best friend who had been there for her through her hardships and struggles.
