**Yoo Mina** (유미나), known as **Yanagi Mina** (ヤナギ・ミナ) in the Japanese localization, is a Counter and one of the protagonists of *Counter:Side.* She is a 17 year-old Grade C counter hired by the Coffin Company TASKFORCE and the newest member of the Fenrir Squad. She was hired after being terminated from two other companies due to reckless behavior, insubordination during operations and objection to term of payment. She operates through the squad's license due to still being a probationary operative not fully certified by the Administration yet.

## Collection Profile

* Base
* Expert Mercenary (Rearm)
* Type: Fenrir (Awakened)

*Yoo Mina, a new member of Fenrir Squad, is an attacker who decimates enemies from a distance with a pulse revolver.*
*She is capable of taking down multiple enemies at once by using the secret feature of her weapon. Although she never received proper combat training and is lacking in industry knowledge, the Coffin Company is her third employer. According to an anonymous community, she disobeyed orders from superiors at her previous workplace to distinguish herself in battle, and staged an armed protest when her payments were delayed.*

*These reckless behaviors are assumed to be due to massive medical bills she's paying for her family, but she has never spoken up about the issue.*

*Yoo Mina carries out missions as boldly as before, but now with more professionalism and efficiency, based on her experience at the Coffin Company. Her unique gear, Wolvesbane, has finally broken its silence and started accepting her power. She still needs certain special gear to use it to its fullest potential, but its resistance to her control has definitely weakened.*

*Yoo Mina, since she awakened to her Qliphoth Factor, has become all the more powerful as a vanguard, now swinging her sword without restriction.*
*Even after that fateful battle with the Replacers, she stayed in the TASKFORCE industry, and has grown into a veteran member of her team who's nothing like the clueless rookie she once was. She's also broken out of her shell which kept her from getting close to others at the company when she first join. Now, she's an exemplary leader who has all her team members on her side. She, however, hasn't changed as far as spending and finances go, working instead of taking vacation days and buying cheap package meals at convenience stores.*

*She's embarrassed to talk about this side of her. Please try not to comment about her coin purse.*
## Abilities

### Powers

* **Enhanced physiology:** As with all Counters, Yoo Mina has enhanced physical strength and durability as well as some innate resistance to Corruption rays. Although she was initially noted to be weaker than her colleagues, she is actually more powerful than her low grade suggests (see *Qliphoth Factor* below).
* **Combat training:** Mina was initially noted to be more adept at combat than most rookies due to prior experience working as a mercenary. Her skills have furthered improved during her time at Coffin Company.
* **Qliphoth Factor:** Mina has Qliphoth Factor running in her blood, which makes her stronger than most other Counters. When fully activating it, Mina can wield the Wolvesbane more efficiently and has the potential to be as powerful as a Demon Lord.

### Equipment

* **Pulse revolver:** Mina's primary weapon that fires energy blasts of varying power. It was possibly built by the Old Administration
* **Wolvesbane:** A large sword that is stored inside the pulse revolver and capable of projecting energy. An artifact of unknown Tech Level, it becomes more powerful the more it is used. The Alternium Reactor upgrade reflects the user's "resolution against adversity" as a source for increased power.
* **Nano Combat Jacket Droma:** A Tech Level 5 Classified Armament that Mina wears in her awakened form. It helps her wield the Wolvesbane and requires Qliphoth Factor as its energy fuel. It can be deconstructed down to the molecular level and stored in Mina's Watch.

### Weaknesses

Lee Sooyeon has described Mina to be "mentally soft".

As an inheritor of Qliphoth Factor, Yoo Mina emits Qliphoth energy whenever she makes use of her Factor— as a result, this causes her to raise the Global Corruption Rate and empower Demon Lords.

## Personality

Before becoming a Counter, Mina was described someone who was cheery and kind and could make people feel at ease. She could shy and modest at times but was much more open and caring towards others than she would later become. Her former middle school classmates even called her a good listener and more mature than the other female students. Following her Awakening Collapse, which severely and irreversibly wounded her best friend Shin Narae and ultimately lead to the deaths of Narae's family, Mina developed survivor's guilt and grew depressed. To make matters worse, Mina became the sole caretaker of her sister, a Corruption victim currently hospitalized at a relief facility in Old Seoul. Because of this, Mina became desperately fixated on making money to pay for her sister's medical bills to the point where she would use violence against her employers whenever her pay was not delivered to her on time. As she rarely confided her reasons for needing so much money, Mina was often perceived as nothing more than another moneygrubbing mercenary to her coworkers.

After encountering a vengeful Narae, who had transformed into the Replacer Bishop, and witnessing her best friend's violent death, Mina's emotional stress only worsened and she began to go on an unhealthy working spree, leading Joo Shiyoon to diagnose her with PTSD. As she was already suffering from immense guilt, Mina was extremely unwilling to face the Regenerated Bishop or put her through any pain and suffering even while fully knowing that the new Bishop was not Narae. It is only when Shiyoon postulated that the Regenerated Bishop considered Mina to be a friend of her source, whom Bishop possibly saw as her mother, did Mina finally come to terms with her feelings over Narae.

After the Replacer Incident, Mina gained self-confidence and began opening herself up to others around her like she did in her pre-Counter life. While she still remains needy for money, she doesn't feel as ashamed about it as before now that she's noticeably more willing to talk about her need to take care of her sister. Nevertheless, she still feels embarrassed when her financial issues are brought up to her.

Mina has a massive dislike of clothes shopping due to a prior shopping experience: one of her family members was a shopaholic and kept her waiting at the mall for hours on end.

## Trivia

* Due to the time constraints of her job, Mina doesn't have time to wear more than the same pair of clothes everyday or clean up her room.
* Yoo Mina shares her Korean voice actor, Jung Yujung, with Rachel Dodds and Lee Yuri.
* She is 168 cm tall.
