Miho has sandy-blonde hair that are messily tied in a ponytail. He has pale skin and discolored eyes with left being yellow and right being purple. He’s wearing a blue hoodie with white shirt underneath, black jeans and sneakers. His gaze is usually isn’t locked on person he’s talking to, feels like he’s looking at nothing.

## Profile

*Rena Houjou’s older brother, from a different father. A man, stuck in his fantasies to escape reality. His family gave up on dragging him out of fantasy world. He’s believed to have schizophrenia and is currently in therapy, that most likely will end up being life-long.*

## Personality

Miho lost his personality way back in childhood. ~~Currently, he seems to be completely numb, only sometimes chatting to his sister Rena about his fantasies.~~ He outright refuses to accept reality and lost sense of time and events around him.

Because he developed **Fantasy prone personality\*** in very early childhood, it’s impossible to determine what personality he has or could’ve had. Currently, Miho is a very air-headed man, who seems to always talk with his "friends" and refers himself in 3rd person. However, when panicking, he talks in 1st person.

He seems non-dangerous, however, in his mind, he killed his parents over and over, with different torture-like way, so there is a possibility of him doing something extremely violent in rea life, but it’s only possible if harm is coming to Rena.

## Backstory

His mother, Yui Tone got involved into a short-lived romance in one of her work trips, which resulted in her becoming pregnant. She was only 20 when that happened, and Yui refused to give up on her love life because she has a son. So, she pretended to work overtime, while actually going on dates with different men, leaving Miho all alone, with which he coped via playing with toys and pretending they’re his actual friends.

When he was 6, on one day Miho lost keys to his home and the shop clerk was forced to call the police, who called Yui’s workplace to learn that she was not in fact working overtime. Eventually, she was found in a cinema with a man. In rage, Yui destroyed Miho’s toys, who he pretended to be alive and his friends.

When Miho was 7, Yui managed to marry a man, named Tarou Houjou and the pair had a daughter named Rena. By that point, Miho was already deeply stuck in his fantasy world, because of which he was often mentally and physically abused by his mother and Tarou, for being inattentive and less successful, than his sister Rena, which lead to Miho getting more and more involved into his fantasies.

The regular health check-up before school made Yui to make Miho seek a psychologist, because he was suspected to have a form of **Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD)\*\*** However, the psychologist sent them to psychiatrist, suspecting **Paranoid Schizophrenia\*\*\***, which was ‘confirmed’ there and thus Miho was sent into a mental hospital, however his state didn’t become any better, on the opposite – if before hospitalization he did communicate with people, although in a very disorganized way, he became completely shut with time. Tarou and Yui didn’t really care about that, seeing this entire situation as a way to get rid of Yui’s “freak” child. Currently, only Rena sometimes visits him.

## Relationships

### Shigo Fuzuki (Xenos)

## References

* **Fantasy prone personality** (**FPP**) is a disposition or personality trait in which a person experiences a lifelong extensive and deep involvement in fantasy. This disposition is an attempt, at least in part, to better describe "overactive imagination" or "living in a dream world". An individual with this trait (termed a fantasizer) may have difficulty differentiating between fantasy and reality and may experience hallucinations, as well as self-suggested psychosomatic symptoms. Closely related psychological constructs include daydreaming, absorption and eidetic memory.
* **Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD)** is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention.
* **Paranoid Schizophrenia** is the most common type of schizophrenia. It may develop later in life than other forms. Symptoms include hallucinations and/or delusions, but your speech and emotions may not be affected.
