## Appearance

Miran is an average teenager with bright light-blue eyes with hair that is a dark magenta color fading to a dark blue with his natural blonde hair appearing from his roots. On the sides of his head he has braids, and two slightly front hair strands connecting back to where his ponytail is.

He wears a dark grey sweater with a white shirt underneath, His shirt is unbuttoned at the collar, but buttoned the rest of the way down. He also wears some light grey pants.

Like the other participants, he wears a collar device upon being brought into the Death Game.

## Personality

Miran comes off as a joyful, ecstatic and cheerful person. He gets easily embarrassed when caught off guard and makes a poor effort to hide it. He is trusting and naive at times, often not thinking things through properly and has little or no sense of danger in certain situations.

Miran doesn’t inherently believe there’s evil in the world, neither does he believe there is good in the world either, in Miran’s opinion, the world simply exists. “good” and “bad” are merely just labels to him. When he shows his pessimistic side it caused a conflict between him and the other participants during their search in Kai’s laptop, some finding him cruel and untrustworthy.

It’s not like this negative side is shown often - usually making itself clear when Miran’s stressed, in a bad mood, or neutral in general. Because Miran’s overly energetic side is simply just a façade, things like ‘going out a lot’ and ‘always making new friends’ were mere lies. Well in a sense, Miran talks like how he wishes he could be, but struggles to make an effort to become the kind of person he wants.

What Miran is actually like with close friends and family, or when he's alone. Miran appears to be in his own world and silent to an extent, his face overall maintaining an uninterested expression, he still tries to smile every now and then to avoid making it seem like he’s tired.

## History

### Background

Miran had a “typical average life” like most people would have had (lie), a caring mother and a hardworking father, he was an only child at that. but what made his life so different is how he thought of life and his views on it.

Miran’s perspective on things often confused people, and his parents were no exception. Since he was a kid it was only natural that he became curious about his surroundings, everything he felt, had seen, or heard - there must be a reason behind it all, right? Miran didn't want to bother much in finding the reason behind everything in the world, because he knew it all came to one thing, it would be all meaningless.

After all, he didn't have to do anything if nothing matters. There was no need to think about the complexity of things, because it’d just be a waste of his time. Although it was cold it gave him comfort. or could it be he didn't want to hold any burdens; it was just an escape from reality.

What he really doesn't want to have to deal with, is what that all means and how he feels about it. If nothing matters, then he must not either. The idea might hurt him, but who cares? Soon he will be dead, the sun will explode, the world will end. and the pain will be over.

Currently, Miran isn’t so honest about is his feelings, but this doesn’t mean it's always like this. hiding his emotions isn’t one of his best skills anyways. As he has a habit of blurting out things without thinking - usually leading to a negative outcome. (Due to his negative outlook on life)

## Relationships

### Roteki Ming

Despite their closeness in age Miran likes to view Roteki as a little sister, trying his best to encourage her and assure her that if she needs somebody, she can always go to him. Miran hopes that they’ll be able to talk more and also supports her from the sidelines as well, even if she doesn’t realize it.

*“She’s a nice person! I believe in the future she’ll be able to be confident with enough support! and I’ll try to do that for her, unless she doesn’t want that haha… though I find most people are interested in her notebook… What's so interesting about it?” -Miran about Roteki Ming*

### Ryōichi Ikehara

Miran takes a liking to Ryōichi due to his somewhat unbothered behavior, because of his unseriousness in situations it helps Miran snap out from becoming completely shallow, Ryōichi even managing to get a laugh out of him sometimes. He’s completely oblivious to Ryōichi’s interest in his views on things, brushing off his own pessimistic comments himself and going back to his “usual” self.

*“I see people often bothered by him but I don’t really see the problem, he’s laid back and is able to have fun!” -Miran about Ryōichi Ikehara*

### Yūrei Fujiwara

Miran thinks Yūrei is unique in a way, though he can’t pinpoint the reason behind why. Because he thinks Yūrei is interesting as a whole. Miran quite enjoys every time they spend time together, never normally feeling awkward around her. His fondness for her is pretty noticeable too…

*“She’s cute! It’s a bit humorous to watch people get intimidated by her sometimes. I find her quite easy to get along with, but it could just be me! What…? Was I a little too honest…? Wait, i-is she looking over here right now???” -Miran about Yūrei Fujiwara*

### Taiyō Hoshiko

“I can’t deny I’m a little worried for the kid, I want to keep him happy as much as I can, so being with one of the oh-so-popular kids…! ahm…ahmm… me! He’d surely be ecstatic! But I don’t know if my popular-high-school-kid aura still applies here…” -Miran about Taiyō Hoshiko

### Hana Ito

*“Y’know I wanted to make sure she at least feels safe but it feels like our roles somehow swapped once I actually talked to her… it almost bugs me out… of course!- I’m glad she’s independent to an extent! …ahah… but still…” (embarrassed) -Miran about Hana Ito*

## Appellations

## Trivia

* He/him, non binary Lesbian ! !!
* He had blonde hair before Yasu dyed his hair in his sleep
* He never really liked his dad all that much.
* He’s a popular kid at school, aswell as his friend Yasu.
* He was born next to a nuclear power plant, has an IQ of 2, and got hit in the head with several rocks as a child /j /ref
* The short idea I have abt Miran’s parents is that they’re both strict and controlling a way(?) but Miran never really realizes it and thinks that this is just their way of caring for him. Compared to his dad, his mother is the one who’s usually there for him … not exactly in an emotional way, in a physical way. His father is normally always at work (which explains why they’re rich to an extent) so Miran barley ever sees him, and when he does he watch’s TV, overall not doing much then relaxing. Miran feels like he doesn’t know his father because of their lack of interactions.
