Mirai is the cultivator of Earth Style, and is a major supporting character in the Warped Eternity: Living Destruction's Abyssal Remnants series. She is a vampire from the Suwan Clan, and one of Rokihiko Aoki's current five wives. She is the adoptive younger sister of Kaori Ayano and Ren Ayano, and is one of the people determined to search for Miyuko Suna and to kill Luka Odayaka and Ryol.

## Personality

Unlike her sister, Mirai is a much more easygoing and nonchalant warrior, who is often good-natured and extremely positive. She often is composed, calm, and bright seemingly being on her head most of the time. She is very much carefree, and cheerful as evident with her demeanor towards Hikaru Katsuro where she constantly showed interest in his growth as a warrior. She is often rebellious, bold, and brash as evident with her actions which is seen throughout the series, which was especially evident when she was frustrated and went to Nukamoire's Credia and Jesora Caves, despite this being extremely deadly. Mirai has also shown a passive-aggressive and laidback demeanor, alongside being independent as seen when she was visibly frustrated when Rokihiko and Yohan did not allow her to come to the "Dreaded Ring" in the Bloodstained Parade of Terror Arc. Her passive-aggressive demeanor was seen with her words and her actions, which often makes it difficult for others to discern her actual feelings. Her passive-aggressive demeanor was essentially seen with her seemingly easygoing and good-natured personality, while doing rather questionable, violent and confusing things. This was Mirai's behavior since she was a child, making her somehow enigmatic to people.

Mirai is also known for her refusal for influence, making herself extremely unshakable and disdainful towards those who desire to command her, especially those she does not respect. According to her, it is better to do things your own way, and to live a full life while being in this world. Mirai is often easygoing and nonchalant towards her opponents, while still showing a great amount of focus and using her talkative nature to distract her opponents. Despite this, she still values the honor code of her job, as evident when she was displeased and mortified at Natsu Anchali's acts where Natsu went against their conduct, something that contrasts with her and something she viewed as hypocrisy. She greatly disagrees with Natsu's belief that duty always comes first before anything else even the lives of their comrades, innocent lives, and worries greatly for Natsu's well-being. She is often disdainful towards those who thirst for power, as evident with her disdain towards Hikari Hanano, and Kirara where she constantly mocked them and shows her dislike. According to her, she rejected the societal expectations of women supposedly not being important, and rejected her clan's decision of it, even going as far as to mocking their notion about it.

Due to losing so many of her loved ones, Mirai is in a constant fear of loving or caring for anyone as she believes they may die in this cruel world and that she was cursed. This was evident where she constantly feared loving others, due to losing so many of her own family, such as her biological family in the Suwan Clan, and her adoptive older brother and sister. This fear comes out of a concern for their lives, which she hides often through a nonchalant, and easygoing side. Additionally, Mirai has shown to be rather prideful, and seemingly arrogant while remaining her laidback and cheerful demeanor. She boasts her skills to her opponents, and is extremely cocky towards them, to the point of verbally sassing them even on the verge of death. However, she is always cool, composed, and has intelligent plans, which was evident upon her strategies against Luka and Hanabi. Her willingness to do anything to kill the gods stems from a desire to avenge her loved ones and her family. Mirai's unshakable nature and her indomitable will also stem from a great desire to become the best warrior she could become, even if she wasn't a Kosho and was determined to find more information as quick as possible.

Her easygoing, cocky, arrogant, and cheerful demeanor was one of the things she used to often hide her feelings and her sorrow. This was also a mannerism she developed so she could honor Ren, as this was the personality he had when he was alive. She desired to adopt his personality as a coping mechanicism, and thus, this helped her be eased with his death. She also showed a slightly softer side towards Ryuga Chisaka when she saw how similar he and Ren were, and was filled with guilt and sorrow in the Sanje Realm's Entrance Arc when realizing he could have been dead. Her way of mimicking his personality is actually a way for her to keep on remembering him, and is seen by her as a sign of appreciation for taking care of her and helping her escape the life of a slave. She also tries her best to achieve his goals of aiding in the defeat of Daiki, and tried to mimic Ren in every way possible but began to realize Ren would want her to combine her honor of him with a sense of uniqueness to herself.

Mirai also possessed a self-destructive sense of violence, wrath, and revenge which turned to be self-destructive as she pushed away others often to work and even suppressed her emotions to find a way to manifest her wrath. This was evident by her indomitable will and gripping tightly onto avenging the lives of Kaori, Caelus and Ren from Luka Odayaka to the point of becoming more emotionally distant from others including her remaining comrades. She is too terrified to form more relationships and love people because she does not want them to be harmed, as she believes she is "cursed" to always be lonely.

## Equipment

**Nature's Glaives:** Mirai wields dual massive earth's glaives, which she imbues with most of her Numen Energy to attack her targets. It is mostly made of titanium, which makes it somehow difficult if not almost impossible to break unless by one of the gods. Mirai's glaive is noted to be too sharp, and can be used for her to perform layers of slices. It also allows her to achieve supernatural feats, due to the amount of Flow Energy it has. It is used for defense and offense, as she uses it to release her nature-based techniques to strike and damage the target with great force. Due to it's fierceness and sharpness, it lacks grace and flexibility to form whiplike attacks, unlike Reika's whiplike swords, which she often uses it to deliver fierce slashes and strikes. This suits her well as her bones are quite stiff like a Nature God like Akio Akimitsu. Mirai's glaives are as sharp as a whale's fangs, and does look like a whale's fangs. Mirai uses the most of her weapon, and it is also coated with tremendous layers of painful toxin, poison, and poisonous drugs to attack her targets.

## Trivia

Mirai doesn't often engage in hand to hand combat and is known for somehow not as experienced in it, although she was taught some of it. This greatly contrasts to Rei Matsuoka and Akio Akimitsu which the two were perceived as the "Perfect Kosho" that mastered enough skills to become the strongest.

Mirai was born on the same day her sister was.

The Earth's Glaive was actually a weapon from Kaori which she passed upon her death.

Mirai is actually unaware of the Smile Curse, and spoke to Kaoru Yuragami about her concerns why he always smiles.

Mirai's name actually means "future" in Japanese.

Mirai was about to be assigned the role of a Kosho, but was rejected it due to the social norms of that time where women becoming rulers were extremely rare. It was also stated Mirai did not care about that.

Mirai wears the necklace and earrings that Ren always wore, as a memory of him. She never tried to open up about him, until Ayumu asked about Ren.
