Miyu Kitano

Kayaru Kitano (Younger half-brother)

Shota Kitano (Younger brother)

**Miyu Kitano** (北野 みゆ, *Kitano Miyu*) is the heiress of the Kitano Clan of Jikain Village.

## Appearance

Miyu is a young woman with fair skin, long blonde hair that curls up in the ends with bangs, and pink eyes.

She normally wears a short-sleeved purple shirt with a pink bow in the middle, a pale yellow skirt, knee-length white socks, and brown shoes.

## Personality

Miyu is a self-asserted and firm person. She takes her duties as the heiress very seriously, but claims to "value the family more than the clan"; which basically translates to seeing her position as a more personal thing than a professional or political one. Because of this, when she becomes the leader, she doesn't plan to involve any of the other clans of the village in her businesses, and focus only on hers. Despite this, she has a good relationship with some of the members of the neighbor clan, the Kajihiro Clan.

Aditionally, she has a very passionate and playful side, and gets excited easily when it comes to things she likes, such as candy. Miyu fears that people may not take her seriously as the leader if they know about this side of her, so she usually represses it and only lets it out when near people she is comfortable about. Also, the importance of her title sometimes pressures Miyu into showing a somewhat cocky side, as she hates being proven wrong because of how embarrassing it is.

When she is hanging out with her friends, Miyu feels truly free to forget everything about her heritage, and shows her other side. She is very extroverted and prone to joking around, but also hot-headed whenever she feels somene is trying to take advantage of her in any way. This mostly happens whenever Kayaru tries to prank her, and Miyu sometimes uses violence in hopes to get him to stop; ironically, though, her irritated reactions are what keep Kayaru going, as he finds them hilarious.

Miyu enjoys exercising and outdoor activities, and it made her knowledgeable in the locations of Jikain Village. Because of this, she occasionally talks to tourists and gives them tours around.

## Background

As the eldest child of the Kitano clan, Miyu was prepared to be its leader since childhood. Because of the contrast between her and her half-brother Kayaru's personalities, Miyu is closer to her younger brother Shota. Also, when they were young, she became friends with Hayate and Asuga Kajihiro, as their houses were located next to each other.
