* School Uniform
* Magical girl

**Mitama Yakumo** is a supporting character in Persona Record Series. She is a Magical Girl who operates as a Coordinator in the outskirts of Kamihama. Unable to fight for herself, she accepts Grief Seeds in exchange for items and providing magical adjustments. Though she usually has a sunny disposition and a friendly smile, very few Magical Girls know her true nature.

## Background

The story flashes back to two years ago. Mitama narrates that she's always been skilled at sports and academics. In elementary school she took Mizuna's middle school entry exam, and won a free tuition. However, there were several people at Mizuna who looked down at Mitama due to her origins. Mitama spent two years trying to change the perceptions of her home town. During her third year, a girl Mitama thought was a friend tried pushing her down the stairs. Mitama dodged it, but bumped into another classmate who fell down the stairs instead. Mitama admits she wasn't sure exactly what happened, but the school newspaper and literary magazine distorted the incident. Mitama was then encouraged to leave the school voluntarily

When Mitama returned to Daitou, she only found scorn from other students, saying that she's a disgrace to Daitou. Mitama was bullied for hurting the district's reputation. When a student says she feels bad for Mitama's younger sister, Mitama snaps. She yells at the students for putting her on a pedestal, stabbing her in the back, and threatening her family. She then wields a fire extinguisher, but is stopped by Kanagi. Kanagi tells Mitama not to give up. Kanagi then says the students are less than trash because they don't judge based on individual merit. She tells them not to base their own value on someone else. The students leave, and Kanagi welcomes Mitama back. Mitama thanks her.

Later, Mitama tells Kanagi she feels empty, and only has hatred in her. Kanagi says that Kamihama is rapidly developing boom time, and Mitama should resent its history, not its people. Mitama says that words and actions come from people, so of course she has to hate them. Kanagi says they're being manipulated by history, taking it's relics into themselves and losing their sense of self. Kanagi asks Mitama not to resent them, but Mitama thinks she can't be satisfied by that. On a rooftop, Mitama yells out her frustrations, saying she hates everyone. It is then that Kyubey arrives. When Kyubey offers her a contract, Mitama wonders if she's gone crazy. Kyubey says she's sane, and if she makes a wish she'll find out if she's crazy herself. Convinced, Mitama makes her wish:

"I want to become the one that destroys Kamihama."

## Appearance

Mitama is a teenage girl with Silver hair and Blue Eyes.

### Magical girl

As a Magical girl, She wore a magician dress with short sleeves close to the shoulder like a blue and white skirt. On her neck hang a bow in the form of a gray ribbon with white stripes and a blue rose on the black ribbon. On her right head is a black ribbon with a gold pattern adorning the blue solgem, and on the left a blue rose on her head.

## Personality

Mitama is very hospitable and friendly to everyone. She would greet the other Magical Girl with a smile on her face, not knowing what was behind that smile.

She was originally an excellent person both in academia and sport, but the rumors and insults the students of Mitama had made her so angry that she was a magical girl.

Mitama loves fashion, especially hairstyles, that she has the ability to decorate hair for her sister Mikage Yakumo and her friend Momoko Togame.

## Abilities

Mitama possesses the ability to "enhance" other magical girls through their soul gems, making them much stronger, which has made her both popular and a necessity in Kamihama City. She was taught this skill by Livia Medeiros, who she refers to as her sensei (who was also the one who taught Kanagi Izumi to control her powers) as a way to get by due to the lower number of witches and her inability to fight when she had contracted.

As this ability gives her direct access to girls' souls, she is also able to view their memories; this side-effect is out of her control. In addition, she was able to modify or change the outfits of magical girls entirely.

Her natural ability, granted by her wish, is destructive in nature; she has learned to use her ability of tampering with magical girls' powers, which had previously been unusable against witches, offensively by "penetrating" her magic into her enemy and destroying them from within. She describes this as "deliberately failing (her) usual procedure", and her power as "similar to a curse".

She has also learned to enchant cloths with magic to use as a weapon, and is currently strong enough to hold her own in battle, though she still primarily relies on her customers to bring her grief seeds.

## Doppel Description

"The Doppel of memento mori (Forewarning). Its form is flower petals. The master of this Doppel resents her environment and wishes to destroy everything. Her Doppel never forgets that death comes to all things equally. It covers everything with dancing flower petals and escorts girls elegantly with its white gloves. Like its master, it isn't able to attack directly, but its power, which is connected to the end of all things, is utterly terrifying - the magic of anything hidden under its flower petals rots away to nothing. The more the master relies on this Doppel, the closer her left arm will get to becoming completely one with it."

Yakumo, meanwhile, is a famous poem like Iroha's name is, said to be literally the first poem in Japanese ever written (by Susanoo himself, no less). Extremely roughly translated, it goes: "From eight rising clouds I build a wondrous eightfold fence in Izumo to contain my divine bride; oh wondrous eightfold fence."
* Totentanz, which means "Dance of the Dead", is either a reference to Danse Macabre or a classical symphony.
