Ordo Imperii ティファ (real name Mirai Lidotra) is a member of the G07-Galileo Branch. She is most known as the head Archivemaster and spy of the Branch. Prior to being a member of the Branch, she, alongside her council, became the founder of the private investigation company Hideko Investigatories.

## Biography

### Background

Mirai was born on February 19, 1988 to a middle-class family in Kongo, Apnornagnad. She had an ordinary life, and disliked that fact a lot. Quite prone to boredom because of this, she always wished to have something interesting to happen in her life for once. She studied in Independence Elementary during her elementary years, Four Seasons Academy during her high school years, and Kizetsu College during her college years. After getting her medical degree from Senbou Hills Nursing School and passing the board exam, Mirai got a job as a nurse at Diamond Hospital.

### Diamond Hospital

Mirai's time as a nurse of Diamond Hospital is something that would change her entire worldview. After meeting Hayami Hideko on her first day, the two of them became close friends to the point that Mirai sees her as a big sister.

### Pearl of the Orient

With help from her influential surrogate older brother, she managed to get a job as a teacher at a nearby school despite having no teaching license to support herself.

## Personality

At first glance, Mirai is cold and calculating. Meeting and getting to know her better, however, will subvert your expectations. Behind the regal mask lies her true self; a nice and sweet woman with very high perseverance. Her cold exterior is just a result of the loss of her close friend, Hayami. Never wanting to feel the pain of losing anything or anyone she loves again, she thought that fully steeling herself, repressing her emotions, and intentionally avoiding others would be a great solution. However, one should still be wary of her. Despite being affable most of the time, Mirai won't hesitate to attack when needed, and when push comes to shove, even murder anyone who harms her loved ones and/or gets in the way of justice. She is noted for always speaking in a formal manner, even in casual circumstances. This seems to have stemmed from the cold exterior she grew after Hayami's death.

Before the events of Diamond Hospital, Mirai was described as a 'happy-go-lucky Pollyanna' by many of her close friends.

## Abilities

### Espionage and data collection

Reading from the late Hayami's hidden notes, Mirai was able to learn the art of espionage. Although initially mediocre at it, she got better over time to the extent of being a master. This is apparent by her becoming the head of the Branch's archive and spy division in the present day, and creating a successful spy organization.

### Knowledge of poisons and explosives

Just like her husband, Mirai is an expert at using poisons and explosives. She had been interested in toxicology ever since she was in elementary, and her love for the topic grew with her. On the other hand, she got interested in explosives due to Cadi's influence. Her love for using these two extends to her personal missions at work, which led to them being her calling card of some sort as 55 of Hideko Investigatories.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Nugget (Cadi Lidotra)

Nugget is Mirai's famiiar, and eventual husband.

At first, their relationship was quite complicated. Initially, Nugget hated her for being, in his own words, 'an ordinary, talentless person with no redeeming qualities whatsoever', and Mirai herself disliked him for being a social Darwinist and a 'son of a bitch who only values people if they have talent, and if they're revealed to actually have none, pulls a 180 and gives them the cold shoulder'. Due to their clashing mindsets and philosophies, they used to be antagonistic to one another, and when Nugget was ordered by his creator to join Mirai in her brief teacher stint, rivals. Over time, however, they ended up falling for each other, getting married, and raising their own family.

As much as Mirai loves her husband, though, she greatly dislikes his Darwinist mindset and tries to change it herself.

Mirai was the one who gave Nugget his 'name'. Due to being in deep hunger when she met him, she mistook his face for a nugget, and therefore named him as such. After she found out his real name, however, she decided to call him by it from then on, with only passing mentions to the 'Nugget' pseudonym from time to time.

Unbeknownst to the public, Nugget also bears the '55' pseudonym alongside his wife, as they chose to share it to avoid immediate identity recognition by other people. Nugget also spies in Mirai's stead during his free time, collecting all the information he can find in the neighborhood. He was also the one who recorded the events of the Purge of Edgardo Eswe in her stead when she fell ill during her botched operation to kill Edgardo with her own hands.

#### Kichi Lidotra

Kichi is Mirai and Cadi's firstborn child. Mirai loves her son dearly, and was immensely worried when it turned out that Kichi had been possessed since birth.

Once he came of age, he decided to join Hideko Investigatories 'for the thrill of it'. Mirai was the one who gave him the codename 'Mendacium', which means 'lie' in Latin, befitting of her son's tendency to lie often. Unbeknownst to the public, Kichi is also Mirai's personal henchman. He became the appointed head of the top secret vigilante execution wing of Hideko Investigatories, Justice Guillotine.

#### Miruma Lidotra

Miruma is Mirai and Cadi's second child and only daughter. They are quite close, with Mirai wearing a pin that represents her daughter whenever she does fieldwork. Miruma on the other hand, despite being usually impolite, is quite sweet to her mother. She is the one who calms Mirai down whenever the latter gets paranoia attacks in the event of Cadi's absence, and during her high school years she was also known for beating up anyone who dares use a 'Your Mom' joke on her.

It's implied that Miruma's loud and rude behavior reminds Mirai of who she was before Hayami's death.

Once she came of age, Miruma began working in the G07-Galileo Branch as its head inventor and supplier of resources. She claims that it was just to 'put her golden brain to good use for once', but it's heavily implied that the real reason she started working there was an attempt to make her mother proud of her. Mirai was the one who gave her the codename 'Audacia', which means 'audacity' in Latin, befitting of both her daughter's courage and brazen attitude.

#### Kai Lidotra

Kai is Mirai and Cadi's youngest child.

Once he came of age, he decided to make his own space-based investigation organization, Shooting Star. Upon deliberation, he decided to offer his organization's services to both Hideko Investigatories and the G07-Galileo Branch. Mirai was the one who thought of his codename 'Robora' which means 'encourage' in Latin, befitting of her son's encouraging and optimistic behavior.

### Hayami Hideko

Hayami Hideko was Mirai's co-worker and close friend.

Hayami's execution affected Mirai deeply, to the point that her entire attitude and mindset changed in its aftermath.

### The Hideko Council

The nine members of the Hideko Council are Mirai's childhood friends and former elementary classmates. Alongside her, they lead Hideko Investigatories and act as its ruling council, helping Mirai make decisions regarding the security and safety of the secret organization.

Initially a gang of childhood friends and classmates, they decided to create Hideko Investigatories in a mixture of one wanting to continue the eponymous Hayami Hideko's legacy as a spy, three being interested in investigating as a whole, two being actual spies as well and wanting to use the organization as a cover for their secret activities, and four wanting to help Mirai cope with what happened to Hayami.

#### Vicente

Vicente is Mirai's longest childhood friend, and arguably the very closest. First meeting each other in first grade, they bonded over their similar physical appearances. Eventually, they became friends, and together with Tristan, founded the mutual friendship group that will eventually become Hideko Investigatories.

They tend to call each other derogatory names and even have physical fights from time to time, but in the end of the day, they care about each other. As Tristan puts it, they're 'vitriolic best friends'. Mirai once had a crush on him, but over time it faded and she started seeing him as a brother instead.

They are sometimes referred to as 'The Twins' because of their resemblance to each other in both physical form and attitude. They also have close-sounding birthdays as Mirai was born on February 19 while Vicente was born on March 18, but Mirai is still older by roughly a month.

When Mirai ran away from Apnornagnad, Vicente was the one who personally led the search for her. On the other hand, when Vicente was threatened and attacked by Edgardo Eswe, Mirai personally attempted to hunt and kill Edgardo herself, getting ill in the process.

#### Tristan

Tristan is Mirai's surrogate older brother.

#### Donna

Donna is one of Mirai's first grade classmates.

#### Eula

Eula is Mirai's former singing rival and eventual close friend.

#### Macbo

Macbo is Mirai's friend and former childhood crush.

#### Kize

Kize is the only one to have been Mirai's classmate since kindergarten. Initially having a nonexistent relationship, they started talking on fourth grade and soon enough, they ended up forming a friendship.

### Ordo Imperii

#### Nikolai Vasliev

Mirai only looks at him with respect as her senior, nothing more. She has a fairly neutral relationship with him and Cheesus. She does not tolerate and agree with his behavior and decisions, however, especially regarding his obsession with Mörderin and his "ideal" personification of Dean. Because Mirai rarely appears personally in the base, they rarely interact.

#### Cheesus

Similar to NIkolai, she only looks at him with respect for being her senior. There is a fairly neutral relationship between her and the male Ordos. The behavior he is showing does not apply to her morals. However, as Cheesus was the first one to accept her familiars in the Galileo Branch, Mirai does feel a sense of gratitude towards him. Just like with Nikolai, as Mirai rarely physically appears in the base, they rarely interact.

#### Dean

Dean was the only friend she was able to make in the Ordo. A 'stoic killing machine' is what one might think of her but to Mirai, she is her friend. She does feel rather guilty for thinking she was Hayami due to the two's eye resemblance.
