## Backstory

Mint was born in Ramzoth to a rich family. For most of his life he identified as female, and transitioned to male 4 years after his son Malaric Knightwin was born. After he transitioned, he left the Knightwin family. During his childhood, he was sheltered and forced to remain in his house most of the time. He never got out much and lived the life of a sheltered princess. He rarely saw his parents, he only had servants looking after him. When he was 12 years old, he decided he had had enough of living indoors and snuck out to the city nearby to his home. It was late at night, and he was a child all alone in a dangerous area where many criminals and gamblers hung out. He was attacked and people attempted to kidnap him, and that's where he unlocked his semblance. Despite being weak, he took one of the attackers' daggers and took them out in one slash, leaving them on the ground bleeding. The other attackers were terrified, and most of them ran away. The ones that remained where cut down by Mint, and afterwards Mint ran back to his house, crying. After that, he never left the house until he was 15 years old, when his parents sent him to Hope Academy. His parents honestly just wanted to get rid of him and be free to travel across Mochizuki without any responsibilites to take care of. During his time at the academy, his parents disowned him in secret and sold their home. However, he ended up graduating the top of his class as the best huntress of that graduating year. When he graduated, he realized he didn't have a home to return to, so he decided to travel around Mochizuki instead, fighting Grimm. His life changed when he met Matthew Knightwin at 24 years old, and the two fell in love and got married. However, as he began the uncover the secrets of the family name, the Harmony of Legions, and more about his own identity, he realized that he couldn't stay with them anymore. He renounced his name, his son, and his entire daily life to build a new identity. As Fresh Mint, he became the Headmaster of Hope Academy, and as Thanatos, he investigated and took down many of the Violet Tiger Syndicate and Harmony of Legions' plans.

## Personality

Mint is a kind and understanding headmaster, but keeps his cards close. He keeps information about himself vague, simply being known as a talented huntsman, the best one in Mochizuki to some. He treats Kyrin with kindness like they're his own child, though denies any blood relation. He's kind to all the students and wants to see them grow into the best huntsmen they can be.

When disguised as Thanatos, he is much more cold and always calculating to win whatever battle he's in. He rarely speaks, only saying warnings or threats in a monotone voice. For the sake of his goals, he doesn't let attachments or bonds get in the way. Still, that isn't to say he's entirely unaffected by fighting his own allies. He's just gotten used to it over time.

## Relationships

### Malaric Knightwin

Mint is Malaric's biological father, though he hasn't lived with him or taken care of him since he was 5 years old. The two have a strained relationship worn down by time, though it is better than the relationship between Malaric and Matthew. Mint's one regret when he left the Knightwin family was leaving Malaric behind with Matthew.

### Kyrin Fimbulvetr

Legally, Mint is Kyrin's adoptive father. Over the course of the school year, the two grow from strangers to having a mentor-student relationship to truly becoming a family. Kyrin doesn't hold back with being blunt and snarky towards Mint, and doesn't hesitate to point out the problems he has. Mint truly doesn't care about what Kyrin thinks of him, as long as he can keep them safe from the Harmony of Legions.

### Gaetana von Midnight

Like most adults, Gaetana doesn't trust Mint. She doesn't like that he knows her and Orion's past without her telling him. There's a trust between them that's forever been broken, and Mint respects that.

### Matthew Knightwin

They're exes. Matthew is all kinds of fucked up. Mint just wants to save as many people as he can. He put his love aside in order to do the right thing. All he can hope for is that he truly made the right decision.

## Powers and Abilities

### Infused Dust: None

Mint is a Rock Elf, however unfortunately he was born without any Infused Dust abilities.
