## Personality

Mint thinks she is cool and condescending in a freaky and bizarre way. She is usually hard on everyone except her big sister, who she loves deeply and takes care of whenever they get into trouble.

## Background

She is the younger sister of Alumi and an android of Type\_Z.

Originally created by Yui Koga as the vocal software series "2\_wEi", they were disposed of mid-development to prevent them from being released to the world.
Later, they were regenerated by MOTHER as a new type of android and suddenly appeared in live battles on the android side. However, against MOTHER's will, they began to withdraw from the live battles.
Taking back their power after first being thrown away, and later used as a weapon by MOTHER, they now prove their raison d'être by singing songs of Hate and Despair.

## Appearance

Mint has pink eyes, sharp teeth and light mint coloured hair that goes just below her shoulders. She often has different coloured stripes (usually green or bright pink) in her hair, but only on the left side.
