## Personality

Shira is very polite and smiles at everyone. You couldn’t even distinguish if she genuinely likes you or not. Though for the most part, she likes everyone, and tries with her enemies. But of course, if she’s on edge, she can get upset. At first encounter, you can see her as a cheerful, kind, and sweet woman, which she exactly is. She tries her best to cheer up people and be useful in serious situations. Most of the time she’s on her computer doing whatever or help. With friends, she talks. She gets along with everyone. You would love her as a friend. If she cares about you, she will do anything to make you happy. She cannot say no, as she’ll join you in whatever fun and entertaining activities you want to do together.

Shira was bullied at the age of 7 years old. Why? Because at that age, Shira started seeing cursed spirits, which she claims were “monsters”, “ghosts” or maybe a combination of the two. Classmates started bullying her and called her “The girl with a Third Eye”. Shira was devastated and one day she accidentally struck a flash of lightning on one of her bullies (which burned their hand). Shira was expelled from her former school and was forced to be homeschooled by her mother. From that day on, her mother Asahi Mikumo never lets Shira touch anyone without gloves on.

Jujutsu High was a fresh start for her. She met people who she can trust and can relate to, she started feeling a little better and started accepting her past. She was scared of her own abilities, what she can be able to do, and what harm she'll give towards her loved ones. She isolated herself the first time she was brought to a Sorcerer School, as everything was so new to her. She started warming up to her classmates and controlled her abilities more, which improved her status and was recommended from higher ups to let her enroll in Tokyo Jujutsu High.

During her second year, she instantly got close to Panda, as she stated that her favorite animal are pandas. She was starstruck when she found out Panda can talk, she was so excited to get to know him more. Maki Zenin was interested in her strength, as she was known to be a Semi-Grade 1 sorcerer. Zenin and Mikumo made a good connection because of their strengths and Shira was confused why Maki was a Grade 4 sorcerer. Shira portrays a crush on Toge Inumaki, a fact that everyone knows except Toge himself. Nobara Kugisaki thinks otherwise, as she stated that there were times Toge showed various affection towards Shira, and he looks at her like he's in love.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level:** Shira is ranked as a Semi-Grade 1 Sorcerer by Jujutsu High due to her status of mastering her cursed technique and how this could be used in different every-day situations. She was taught at a young age on a minor Sorcerer School which enhanced her skills to understand more about her abilities. Although she needs more time and effort to achieve the title of a Grade 1 Sorcerer, she was satisfied with her current one.

**Enhanced Speed:** Shira can use her cursed technique, which is Electrical Surge, and cursed energy to stimulate her muscles and increase her speed and strength, which she'll be capable of making it seem like she has teleported from one place to another.

**Enhanced Agility:** Paired with Shira's enhanced speed, her agility lets her be swift and she can be able to attack from any direction, an example is dodging from an enemy's attack before she gets hit, then immediately reacts before the enemy finishes their attack.

**Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Shira prefers weapons that connects with her close quarters combat as her cursed technique also relies on close range attacks. Although Shira prefers close ranges, there was a scene on the manga where it is revealed that she can also be able to shoot lightning immediately through anything as long as she does a specific hand sign.

**Weapon Mastery:** The Mikumo Clan's power comes from creating various cursed tools and weapons. At her first year, Shira was taught how to use different types of weapons, as this should be prior knowledge to her clan. She has mastered the use of brass knuckles and daggers.
