## Relationships

### Kyoichi Nekuni

Miyako loves her older brother, and when other girls cling to him, she gets a bit jealous. She doesn't want him to be burdened by her because of her role as the head, so she tries to do her best to help him. After finding out that he had powers, she became upset with him that he hid it from her and began avoiding him, to which Kyoichi noticed this. During Haruna and Sen's fight, she told him why she was mad at him after Kyoichi tried to stop her from using the Execution of Enforcement on Sen. Realizing that a lot of responsibility was pushed onto his sister, Kyoichi apologizes and decides to take responsibility for the clan from that point on.

### Sen Inuhara

Sen is Miyako's bodyguard. They are close friends because the time they spent together. When Miyako was younger, she would always try to help Sen feel better from her training, and she views Sen like an older sister of sorts.

### Ayaka Ushigura

She is wary of Ayaka because she saw how Kyoichi would beaten to a pulp when she came over.

## History

When she was younger, she witnessed her parents' death and saw that her brother couldn't kill the murder due to (what she assumed) her brother knowing that person. Because if this, she decided that the duties of the Nekuni head is to be carried by her, knowing her brother is too kind and "weak" to lead.

After discovering that Kyoichi defeated the Ox Ogre with his powers, she became upset that Kyoichi was hiding this power from him and questions why he couldn't have used his power to save their parents. After Sen's fight with Haruna, she talks it out with Kyoichi, and gives Kyoichi the title of the head of the Nekuni Clan.

## Abilities

She is proficient in using a sword. She uses Ashen Iron, a sword that is possessed by a spirit put under the Execution of Enforcement. The sword has wrapping on the lower part of the sword, and an eye can be seen on one side.

* Execution of Enforcement: It allows her to issue orders on anyone she wills, even if it is forced. This power is amplified when she touches the target and the target specifically says that they will comply with the order. Amplification occurs regardless of whether the target's will truly wishes to follow the order or not. It was passed down to her from her grandfather, Goichi Nekuni, after he died.
