Miyuki Ando

**Miyuki Ando** (安 (あん)藤 (どう) 美 (み)雪 (ゆき) *Andō Miyuki*) is a Special-Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, that is the next heir to the Ando Family, and a teacher at the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical, which is one of the few jujutsu institutions in Japan.

## Appearance

Miyuki is a tall woman possessing a fairly toned muscular physique, she has almost navy-like hair, which reaches all the way down to her lower back, with indigo eyes. She often wears her hair down, with a gray flower hairpin clipped onto the right side. She usually tends to wear her uniform, which consists of a long sleeved top with a high collar, bell sleeves and one horizontal slit across her bicep on both sleeves. She also wears a long skirt which reaches her ankles and has a slit down the right side with a black corset and a long dark gray scarf. Miyuki has black combat boots and black thigh-high socks to match and a quite curvaceous figure. She is also considered to be very attractive by many people.

## Personality

Miyuki has a fairly "normal" personality, she talks when she needs to, stays quiet when it's required, however, she tends to like it when she can just listen to others. Miyuki is shown to be somewhat awkward and not very social but she is not shy when the situation calls for it as she is shown to be able to make good connections with other people. She always proceeds with caution, meticulously thinking everything through, she shown as a bit of a perfectionist.

Towards Cursed Spirits, Miyuki isn't any different but she prefers to stay quiet and not try to converse with them. But she does enjoy deceiving them and them killing them.

Sometimes her students can't approach her as she seems to radiate a powerful aura, which can be overwhelming. But despite her somewhat-hard-to-approach-character, Miyuki is usually very kind and helpful. Satoru remarks in Chapter 5 that Miyuki isn't actually quiet. She still loves to talk but because she doesn't have an outlet to express her emotions she seems quiet.

As a child, Miyuki was a bubbly outgoing kid who wanted to be friends with everyone in the neighborhood. Child Miyuki willingly lends a hand to whoever in need and she was a happy optimistic kid. She was also quite protective of her brother, Hikaru Ando, who had a weak physical constitution. Whoever tried to mess with Hikaru would have to think twice because of the menacing glare that would pierce their backs every time.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: While Satoru Gojo is called the strongest sorcerer, Miyuki, who has practically known him since he was a child, is no weak sorcerer, sparring with Satoru, the female is actually quite strong and can hold her own against him. Miyuki trained hard to harness her difficult-to-control cursed energy and worked on improving herself for the longest time. Despite her being a Special-Grade sorcerer, Miyuki is not confident in her abilities and always degrades herself.

**Immense Speed**: Miyuki is an extremely fast fighter, managing to follow the movements of Mahito effortlessly and throwing almost imperceptible punches and kicks. She was shown to be able to move faster than the eye can perceive.

* **Supernatural Reflexes**: Basically described above in "**Immense Speed**", due to her ability of being able to sense the "ember" of anything, Miyuki has the ability to dodge her opponent well.
	+ **Enhanced Flexibility**: To develop her extreme reflexes, Miyuki first trained her body to be flexible so she could move around easily. Contorting, spinning around, bending in almost visibly impossible situations are her specialty.

**Tactical Intellect**: Miyuki is quite tactical and capable of figuring out her opponent's plan with minimal information. She has also shown to be extremely adaptable to any enemy she has ever faced so far, knowing precisely what to do to counter their techniques and find ways to defeat them.

### Jujutsu

Because of her shortcomings as a child, Miyuki trained hard to control her cursed energy and in the end it payed off as she now has excellent control over her cursed energy, capable of activating her Domain in a split second, use reverse cursed techniques, and even combines positive and negative cursed energy.

 **Creation** (創 (そう)造 (ぞう) *Sōzō*): Being the neutral form of the Yin & Yang, Creation is commonly known as the ability to create talismans with the use of glucose and bodily fluids in her body. These talismans are used by Miyuki to used her Yin & Yang technique by making things such as talismans of fortune. She can make any sort of talisman even for things such as teleportation (which is just her switching out her body in substitute of something else), hunger, physical weakness, sleepiness and more. As long as she doesn't exert herself, she can create just about anything.
Using it in battle, Miyuki would have to be able to stick her talismans on her enemy to distract and fluster their balance to imperfect. Due to the nature of her technique, if her enemy stays in an imbalanced state for too long, they would end up being mentally and physically crippled.
Another side effect for this technique is the opposite effect of the talisman. If Miyuki stuck a fortune talisman on her opponent, for a certain period of time (depending on her talisman and it's quality) her enemy would have fruitful success in the battle. But after that time ends, for the amount of time they were lucky is changed to being unlucky for double the time, to balance it out. Her talismans do differ in quality, a bad quality one is usually made in a rushed manner and produced with several other ones, these talismans have a short time limit which could differ between two to five minutes. A good quality one is usually prepared separately and allowed to use a lot of her glucose of any bodily fluid in preparation, these talismans could have an effect differing between thirty minutes to two hours. In short, Miyuki uses her talismans to control the Yin & Yang balance in her enemies body.

 **Lily Pond** (ゆりの池, *Renshi)*: Miyuki dispels the Ember from a living being's body. This splits the person into two states; the physical state, the body, and the spiritual state, the soul. As cursed energy is closely linked to a soul, when you remove the soul from a body, the body becomes a husk of it's former self. The person/curse is rendered immobile and cannot make use of their cursed techniques any longer. If an Ember is weak enough, Miyuki is able to store them inside talismans to use like Curse Users. She often uses it on herself to let her physical body rest as she goes on missions. Cannot produce talismans in this split-state status. She likes explaining this technique as if the Ember of someone or something's soul is the weak, vulnerable person under the armour, the physical body. And to get to that vulnerability, you either need to break through the armour or rid of it completely. Miyuki cannot use this often, or for prolonged periods of time as it puts a great deal of strain on her own Ember.

 **Falling Blossom Emotion** (落 (らっ)花 (か)の情 (じょう) *Rakka no Jō*): A secret art used as an anti-domain countermeasure. Miyuki was taught this barrier technique by her friend, Satoru, when they were younger. Despite Satoru being terrible at explaining she still managed to learn.

 **Capture of the Sun** (金 (きん)烏 (う)拿 (だ)捕 (ほ) *Kin'u Daho*): Miyuki's second form of her Domain Expansion. This techniques sucks the enemy into a blindingly bright area which have talismans flying around like sharp needles. If Miyuki's enemy is hit by one, and their blood falls to the floor the talismans immediately are attracted to them and the enemy suffocates from the extreme imbalance of their Yin and Yang.

## Trivia

* Miyuki's name means "peaceful wisteria of the beautiful snow".
	+ In flower-ism, Wisterias are known to symbolize immortality and long-life, in Japanese kabuki theater, the symbolism for Wisteria is love, sensuality, support, sensitivity, bliss and tenderness. The abundance of the Wisteria flowering vine also signifies our own expanding consciousness.
	+ While snow, as a form of water, means knowledge and while we look more into it, it's a heavenly kiss of the Divine and the mundane. Which are opposites.
		- All in all, Miyuki's name could also be translated to "knowledge of immortality" or even "lovely kiss of the Divine and the mundane".
* The way she went about naming her possessive techniques and domain expansions was to imagine how they looked to her enemies. Freedom of the Shadow is very dark so she name it that way, Capture of the Sun is very bright and so and so forth
* Miyuki was engaged to Yami Kamo at a very young age because her cursed technique requires a complete balance of it's wielder, meaning she has to have a partner of the opposite gender, while the two are bound by a blood seal.
	+ Hikaru Ando, a boy who was adopted into the Ando family, was first brought into the family for the two, him and Miyuki, to exchange seals before the Kamo family offered a proposal.
		- Hikaru meaning light and Yami meaning darkness, the two are opposites.
* When she was a child, Miyuki had to wrap herself up in seals, so her cursed technique didn't kill the girl, before she exchanges seals with Yami.
	+ Ironically enough, due to the familiar feeling of the seals, Miyuki still wears them but this time for a different reason. As she grew older, Miyuki liked the feeling she got when she received the bewildered look from her enemies (almost in a sadistic way), so she started to retract/ keep in her excessive flow of cursed energy by wearing seals around her upper body. Since strong cursed energy presence usually attracts cursed spirits, therefore meaning trouble. She needs to be careful about that unless she wants to purposely be a curses' magnet. In her high school years at Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High, her along with her classmates used to find 1st grade curses during their lessons outside the school's building.
