Mukuro Hoshimiya

**Mukuro Hoshimiya** (Japanese: 星宮 六喰) is a spirit character from the *Date-A-Live* series. She works as an office lady rather than being a high school student after graduating from middle school.

## Appearance

Mukuro is a beautiful young girl with a voluptuous figure with golden eyes and flowing long blonde hair that reaches up to her knees even when braided. She ties her hair together in an Odango hairstyle, and wears ribbons around the buns. She requested that Shido trim her hair after her sealing, and would further shorten it herself about a year later after deciding to move on from her adoptive family.

In her Spirit form, she wears a lilac and white Astral Dress that resembles a Chinese dress. The ends of her skirt, which are adorned with constellation patterns, are divided at the edge. Dark blue and purple hair extensions which resemble bunny ears are attached to her hair buns. Additionally, she wears transparent purple gloves that are also engraved with constellation patterns. Lastly, she wears high heel shoes that are attached to metallic greaves. These greaves resemble the leg armor used by medieval knights. When using <Shifuru>, her Astral Dress gains a more savage appearance, including tassels added onto her hair buns.

During her work in the office, she wears her business suit. It contains a black jacket with a white shirt underneath and black pencil skirt. She also wears stockings. The suit is also worn during the hot summer days in the beach and will not take it off even if it is already too hot for her.

Her three sizes are B91/W60/H88.

## Personality

As a result of sealing away her emotions using <Michael>, Mukuro bears an icy cold, robot-like, demeanor. She claims to be okay with living all alone in outer space and wishes to be on her own. She has shown her willingness of issuing threats and utilizing violence to make sure no one disturbs her solitude. However, the fact that she had told Shido she sealed away her emotions implies that deep down, she wants him to save her from her loneliness.

After having her emotions unlocked, Mukuro regained her true personality, which in contrast to her sealed one, is very emotional. Due to growing up as an orphan, Mukuro fears to be alone again and desperately wants to remain attached to those who she believes loves her. Even after going as far as to seal the other Spirits' memories of him, Shido describes her intentions as being motivated by pure love and innocence rather than any true ill will.

Due to her past with her older sister braiding her hair while stargazing, Mukuro enjoys viewing the stars and is very attached to her long hair, becoming furious when Inverse Tohka cut it.

In terms of speech, Mukuro speaks in an overly archaic style. She often speaks in a third person perspective by referring to herself as "Muku" (むく). She often utters "mun" (むん) or "fumun" (ふむん) while thinking.

## Plot

Mukuro once was a lonely child that grew up with no family. In her solitude, she concluded that people blessed with a family were special, and she could not be considered special. However, one day, she was adopted by a couple who wanted a child. They, along with an older sister, would soon become a family to her. For a while, she lived in bliss under the warmth of a family. Her sister would complement her hair while styling it, and they often went stargazing together, as she recited the lore of each constellation to her. However, one day while visiting Tenguu Tower, her sister brought along a friend, who commented that Mukuro needed to cut her hair. Hurt by how her sister agreed with the suggestion, despite always praising her golden hair in the past, she concluded that her sister had loved her friend more than her.

As she panicked over that conclusion, <Phantom> appeared before her and gave her a Sephira Crystal containing <Michael>. With this new found power, she locked the memories of every acquaintance of her family so that they would love only her. However, her family angrily rebuked her in return, terrified at how she suddenly obtained an unfathomable power. Unable to handle learning and losing the warmth of a family, she then sealed their memories of her before sealing her own memories and heart and departing for space. This action caused her heart to become an emotionless machine that was fine with living in outer space, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone.

Mukuro graduated from middle school. After that, she went to apply for an office lady instead of continuing to high school. She was later accepted since she is already 15 years old, the minimum age for office ladies, clerks and secretaries in the office firm. Later, she became a secretary in her office firm KPMG near the beach in Setouchi.
