## Appearance

One of the tallest female characters in the series proper, Miyu is 191 cm tall, with narrow eyes with long, narrow eyebrows, and a somewhat menacing appearance in general; she is considered one of the most "mafia-like" girls in the entire student body of Inarizaki High. She has long, straight black hair that she keeps tied up in a high ponytail.

Post-timeskip, Miyu's intimidating appearance increased a lot, to the point where people are often afraid to meet her eyes on the street.

## Personality

According to Hinata, much like her older brother Ren - Miyu appears to give off a scary feel due to her appearance. The divorce of her parents subjected her to unseen pressure, causing her to become a scaringly efficent workaholic, even the most cumbersome of tasks will be finished as effectively and in as little time as is physically possible. No matter the tasks, it must be done perfectly and everything must be checked over several times before she even submits it, it matters not what the work in question is - it must be checked over by Miyu before it can be presented to anybody - for this reason, Miyu handles all of the club finances and takes notes of the avaliable funds. If there are inaduaquate funds, Miyu will relentlessely toil in order to meet the agreed-upon number figure. Her strong sense of responsibility and tenaciousness was passed down to her mother, who instilled into her the heavy duties that she would bear as Chōko Haino's private secretary. Nevertheless, the stress imposed upon her (both externally and internally) molded her into having a cold and reserved demeanor. As noted by her classmates, the words "take a rest" are not part of her vocabulary, unless she collapses while handling her loads of work, she rarely sleeps or even stops to eat.

## Background

Miyu currently attends Inarizaki High, alongside her employer's daughter Chōko Haino and fraternal older brother Ren Ōmimi. Not a native of the Hyōgo Prefecture in the Kansai region, having moved there with her mother Ruka Hikasa, as well as her employers Seika Haino and Makoto Haino. Due to the divorce of her parents, Miyu rarely sees her father Yukito Ōmimi and as such, holds a closer relationship with her mother whom Miyu describes as having a temperment similar to "a stubborn mule" - this seems to indicate that their parents' divorce divided their harmonious household. At the moment, there have only been small clues that indicate that some type of conflict happened, that led to the divorce. How it happened, when it happened and the ultimate outcome is unknown at the moment.

## Plot

### **Tokyo Nationals Arc**

Some time before the beginning of the Inarizaki High girls' volleyball team match against Itachiyama Institute, Miyu asks her team's starting libero Fuyuka Himekawa if she "regrets their motto" to which Fuyuka scoffs and retorts her sentence with a huff. Much to the suprise of her captain, Miyu tells her that she is simply worried that they won't win and that it would stain their perfect record as one of the top 4 girls' volleyball teams in the entire nation. They are distracted from their conversation from the loud booing by their team, which startles Miyu causing her to fall backwards and ending up with her landing on the floor. Much to her great despair Kiyora snickers at her predicament and eventually ends up in the entire team descending into a combination of a half shouting match and an actual brawl, much to the endless despair of the team's managers and coaches. In the end, the entire team has to be seperated by their captain Rino Kita who sternly scolds them for getting into a brawl before their match.

During the first and second sets, Miyu quietly stays in the background and waits for an oppurtunity to bait Itachiyama's players into a trap. She eventually is able to intercept a set from a rebound and manages to make it land before Itachiyama's three blockers in the front row. Following this, Miyu utilizes the first tempo set made by Inarizaki's star setter Setsuka Anahori to swiftly score right past the same three blockers again with the team's quick attack. Though cheered on by Inarizaki's Marching Band, Miyu ponders the possibility of asking them to be quiet, which causes her to be unitentionally distracted and leading to the first year pinch server Sumika Ezota accidently sending a ball into the back of her head. Sumika is horrified by her actions, while the other members of Inarizaki instantly break down laughing. This display is only stopped by the presence and piercing glare of their captain Rino Kita who threatens to bench them for the entire game.
