​

## Appearance

Mikan is a young woman with long, very choppy purple hair that reaches the middle of her thighs at its longest, and is almost to her shoulders at shortest. Her hair is cut this way as a result of bullying, although she continues to keep it this way out of habit. Her eyes are greyish-purple, and she has a beauty mark under the corner of her left eye.

Mikan wears a nurse's uniform that consists of a pale pink shirt with white trim, a pale blue pleated skirt, and a white apron with a red stripe on it. Her apron is tied around both her neck and her hips. She also wears white shoes, white ankle socks, and bandages around her left arm and right leg.

She also has a scar on her abdomen from some of the actions that she took as a member of Ultimate Despair, although these are actions that she would prefer not to remember.

## Backstory of Mikan

Mikan had a harsh life as a child. She was physically, emotionally, and possibly sexually abused by people in her family and in other places, like school. Among other things, she mentioned being splashed with water, smeared with mud, and getting burned with cigarettes. The bullies would beat her up, cut her hair, draw on her, use her as a target for dart games, make her responsible for their debts, and tell her to eat bugs and make interpretations of certain animals. She was even told to strip at times. In addition, she didn't have any friends.

As a result, Mikan became an extremely timid person who thought that it's better to be treated badly than completely ignored. She feared loneliness and lack of attention more than the abuse and let people do whatever they wanted with her.

Because there was no one to take care of her wounds, Mikan learned to take care of herself from a very young age. As she became more and more skilled in this area, she took an interest in nursing, realizing that she could have a feeling of control over sick and injured people ー as the weaker people, they would have to depend on her completely and their lives would be in her hands.

## Relationships

#### Nagito Komaeda

Nagito was impressed by Mikan's talent from the beginning, although he didn't pay very much attention to her. The two had a fluctuating relationship of hating each other that resulted from the killing game, especially from Nagito due to her actions in Chapter 3. However, Nagito still expresses some concern about Mikan, mainly due to her exaggerated falls and her perceived bullying.

#### Hajime Hinata

Mikan has some kind of affection towards Hajime that is likely romantic in nature, although this affection does not interfere with her relationship with none of the characters. However, the fact that he doesn't bully her has lead her to become incredibly attached to him, even sleeping on him at points. Hajime is a little bit wary of Mikan, due to knowing of her disturbing side, although he still feels sympathy for her. Hajime also feels regret for exposing Mikan as one of the murderers, although Mikan feels remorse for committing the murder in the first place.

**Ibuki Mioda**

Before the tragedy, Ibuki was one of Mikan's first and best friends, which was revealed during Monokuma's second motif, "Twilight Syndrome Murder Case". Ibuki was shown to be one of the only people in his class at Hope's Peak (Academy) to be on close enough terms with Mikan to be allowed to address her by her first name, only sharing this 'position' with classmate and friend, Mahiru Koizumi.

**Hiyoko Saiojin**

Hiyoko quickly becomes attached to Mikan, but not in a friendly way. Mikan quickly became a common target for her bullying because of her shy nature. Hiyoko constantly makes rude comments towards Mikan, such as calling her a "filthy pig" or an "ugly bitch". Despite Hiyoko's fights and attitude, Mikan still cares about Hiyoko and makes statements about her health, which, however, Hiyoko refuses to listen to Mikan, as in Chapter 1, when Mikan tries to tell Hiyoko that eating sweets for breakfast is bad for her health. It is indicated by Hiyoko's own words that she suspects many parts of Mikan's behavior (such as her clumsiness and poses) are an act, causing her to dislike her strongly as a result.
