Mitsuki Konishi

**Mitsuki Konishi** (虚西 充妃, *Konishi Mitsuki*) is an antagonist in *The World Ends with You* and is an officer of the Reapers.

She serves as the Game Master during Beat's week, and is one of the most powerful Reapers. At first, she seems only interested in serving the Conductor, Megumi Kitaniji, but she later shows her true colors of being willing to do whatever it takes to climb in the ranks.

Her Noise form is Tigris Cantus, a winged tiger-woman.

## Appearance

Konishi is a tall woman with long wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. She wears glasses and dons a maid uniform, thigh-high black leggings and white high heels. She has long black fingernails which are pointed and apparently sharpened at the ends. Although Konishi appears to be a young woman, as a Reaper officer, she is likely many years older than she actually appears due to Reapers not aging.

She accessorizes with a few bracelets on her left wrist and wears a silver ring on the index finger of her right hand. Konishi also wears a black claw hair clip on the back of her head, which can be seen near the end of the anime episode "Rhyme and Beat"; it is unknown if this hair clip can be seen in the game or its artwork.

One subtle detail of Konishi is that she wears a black wraparound with white frills on her upper right arm; this can be seen in her thinking sprite, as well as the scene when she squeezes Noise Rhyme. For unexplained reasons, the armband does not appear in the anime and even some of the game's artwork.

## Personality

Konishi at first seems very loyal to the Composerand the Conductor and often demands respect when the Reapers of lower status address them but this is just a ruse; she's truly very cold and manipulative and will do anything she sees fit to meet her own ends. Because of her passive personality and her relatively cold and cruel demeanor, she has gained the nickname "Iron Maiden" which Beat spitefully warps into "Ironface".

Konishi is very intelligent and she has little tolerance for idiocy. Beat mentions she pays too much attention with her brain instead of her heart. Having a rather haughty personality, she is a perfectionist and claims she never makes mistakes. Similar to Sho Minamimoto's math jokes and Yodai Higashizawa's food references, Konishi often makes references to calculation and strategy and refers to those she considers intellectually inferior (ie: Beat) as "chimps".

To get her way in situations, she will still resort to trickery and mind games to deal with those she considers annoying. Devoid of mercy, she is also shown to resort to violence and murder, such as when she erases 777 and tries to kill Neku and Beat. In spite of her calm demeanor throughout the game, this is just appearance as in truth, she appears to be short-tempered as before the final confrontation against her in the final day she snaps and attacks Neku and Beat in an enraged state, due to their continued meddling in her plans.

Konishi is referred to as Mrs. K in Another Day. Additionally she acts as Beat's school teacher. She is disappointed with him for loitering and asks him if he's done with his homework. She challenges Beat to a game of Tin Pin, saying that if she wins, he must get back together with Rhyme. She seems to genuinely care about Beat's and Rhyme's relationship in this universe, which is ironic compared to the main game in which she was trying to drive them apart.
