Personality: Miho comes off as a bit of an airhead when spoken too, especially on first meeting. Always thinking about something else that's never voiced, she doesn't always seem to understand what the others around her are trying to do or say, even if it is directly to her. It's hard to not find her looking for some source of food, or something pretty to wear...or both at the same time. If you ask her what she's thinking about, she'll usually say some sort of dish and leave it at that...or go on an entire listing of different kinds of cuisine that she could really go for at the moment. The truth is that it's at least somewhat of a show. Except well...perhaps the food bit. She does truly love a good snack. Miho likes to keep silent on the things she truly does know, little bits of information, and she'll go along with anything others want her to do even if she thinks perhaps they are wrong. Or on the wrong track. After all...it might be a fun endeavor. When she has her sights on something, she can be rather pushy. While she tries to mask it as polite-pushy, sometimes it can come off as more intimidating by accident. And when her mask is fully unveiled...usually in pursuit of some goal or job that she has been assigned...she can be rather ruthless. Though that's a sight rarely seen, and if it is seen...chances are she doesn't have good intentions for you. Still, Miho is generally polite and mild-mannered without the special circumstances, and she cares about the friends around her.

History: Miho doesn't know about her childhood for the most part...she had been sold to a dance troupe at a very young age and never thought to look back. There are only vague outlines of her parents, and she has no idea if she had any siblings or not. The troupe is her true family now, and she's aware of that. Mostly made up of women who perform, they travel around to sing and dance and entertain those around them. At least...that's the cover. It took a very long time for Miho to join the ranks of the troupe around her, but she knew how to get it. There was a lead singer in the troupe that wanted to run away, and very possibly sell out the group to local samurai. Miho, at a relatively young age, had been told that if she disposed of the woman she could be a part of the main act. While this might have frightened most people, Miho simply nodded and went to do as she had been told. After all, she was very eager to sing and dance in front of others! She liked to think she was rather good at it. In Miho's case...it wasn't really the first time somebody had ended up dead because she had been told to kill them. It was something she had been doing since she was very young...and it was the true specialty of the troupe. Like a group of assassin's, they lie in wait in their cover...and when they have proper incentive, they have ways to do what they need to do.

With the other girl gone, Miho was quickly given a part of the spotlight...though she's very far from the lead, she is having a lot of fun where she is. The troupe has started circling the area of Pokimono, and has settled in the performing area of Scorched Mountain for the time being. Unsure how long they will stay, the members have all been given permission to rent their own housing and go about their business. Miho is rather excited to meet the other performers within the theater district in Scorched Mountain, and many others within the realm of Pokimono. After all...she may make some new wonderful friends, and singing and dancing partners! Or...she may find other opportunities to climb up the ladder.
