This caused her to mindlessly follow and aide him in their journey, leading her to ignorantly deem Rein Shroud useless.

## Background

Mina was first introduced at the beginning of the beast tamer series along with the other members of the hero’s party. She was present when Arios banished Rein from their party, although she did not insult Rein in anyway she did not stop his banishment.

Mina was seen with Leanne and another beast tamer that they temporarily teamed up with to take on an escort quest. However, the three of them abandoned their quest giver because they been ambushed before they could react and were forced to flee. It was then that Mina and Leanne learned that the other beast tamers were completely different from Rein, as they could tame only one creature at a time while Rein could tame dozens all at once. The two chased away the beast tamer and threatened him to keep his mouth shut about their failure.

Mina was seen again with the hero’s party after returning from the forest, as they had spent a week in there and had failed to find the shield of truth. Arios decided to temporarily bring Rein back into their party and use him to find the shield and banish him when they were done. When the hero’s party reunited with Rein, they were shocked to see him traveling along with two Demi-humans of the ultimate species, along with learning that Rein had managed to tame them as well. Arios had tried to convince Rein to return to their party, but he refused and started to leave. Until Mina stopped him and informed that they were searching for the shield of truth to help them defeat the demon lord and he reluctantly agreed.

However, Mina and the others showed no remorse for how they treated Rein which caused Tania to snap and to tell them to get on their knees and apologize to Rein with sincerity. This shocked all of them as they felt that they had not done anything wrong, Arios enraged insulted Kanade and Tania which caused Rein to punch him in the face. This shocked Mina and the others, Arios then challenged Rein and his companions to a duel which they agreed to.

Mina and Leanne are shown taking on Tania, confident that they can win against her they launch their spells in unison. But it proves to be fruitless, as Tania easily nullified their spells in an instant. Shocked, but undeterred Mina and Leanne attempted to attack her repeatedly with their spells but she continuously nullified them. This caused them to lose their confidence entirely and fall on their knees. Tania then seemingly attempted to finish them off with her superior magic, causing both of the them to panic in fear until she revealed it to be a bluff causing both of them to faint defeated.

After the hero’s party defeat, they are all shown on their knees apologizing to Rein with Tania yelling at them to be more sincere. Rein agrees to search for the shield as long as he could go alone with his party and they reluctantly agreed. Later on, Mina is shown with the hero’s party meeting Rein after he had gotten the shield of truth but they did not believe he had gotten the shield as he had managed to accomplish this in only two days. Mina decided to appraise the shield and to her shock it was genuine, as the quest was completed Arios gave Rein the money he offered. As Rein was about to leave Aggath stopped him asking him to rejoin the party as they now saw for themselves that Rein was indeed capable and was the reason for most of their success. But Rein outright refused as he did not want anything to do with them anymore, leaving them shocked and annoyed that he would turn them down.

Later on, Mina is seen nearby while Arios is interviewing a beast tamer and rejecting him as he was not as skilled as Rein. Mina had noticed that Arios was acting too hasty and his requirements for the beast tamer he wanted was too strict for anyone to actually meet, but nonetheless she decided to support him as he is the chosen hero. Mina and the hero’s party was seen near horizon while it was under attack by a demon, Arios had ordered them not to do anything as he had caused this to happen in the first place. Mina was seen again later with the hero’s party trying to stock up on supplies for their journey, but were rejected by the citizens of Horizon as they had refused to help them or fight the demon that had rampaged in their city. Arios and his party leave but not before destroying a stand in anger for being rejected.

## Abilities

As a sage, Mina has light magic and believed herself to be the strongest sage. But she was revealed to be a weakling as when she fought against Tania, her magic spells were not even able to touch or harm Tania. The demi-human from the Dragon Tribe effortlessly nullified all of Mina's magic.

She was also shown to be able to use an appraisal skill as she was able to authenticate the shield of truth as the real thing.

She is also vulnerable when she died as a normal human where she, along with the Archbishop, was killed by the Demons sent by Arios for her betrayal.
