Yet, within those eyes, there is also an unwavering hope, a glimmer that embodies the light she seeks to bring to the world.

Her attire is a harmonious blend of traditional and practical, symbolizing her connection to both her family's legacy and her role as a Hashira.

Personality

Miku, the Hashira of Harmony, embodies the tender strength that blossomed from the ashes of heartache. Despite the profound loss she endured at the hands of demons, her heart remains open and compassionate. Her easygoing nature and warm aura serve as a comforting balm to those around her, like a gentle embrace during moments of distress.

Having experienced the darkest depths of sorrow, Miku carries a deep empathy for both humans and demons alike. She understands the pain that drives these creatures to wickedness and seeks to offer them solace and the chance for redemption. Her past has taught her that compassion can be a powerful force to mend broken souls and lead them towards a path of light.

Her radiant smile and comforting presence remind those around her of the strength that arises from pain. Miku believes that no darkness is absolute and that every soul can find harmony within itself. She knows that love and understanding are the most potent weapons against the forces of evil, and she endeavors to inspire hope in the hearts of both friends and foes.

Background

Miku hails from a family that held a unique and perilous gift – the cursed ability to foresee the future. This exceptional power made them distant relatives of both the noble Ubayashiki family and the malevolent Kibutsuji. Muzan, the dreaded Demon Lord, perceived this ability as a severe threat to his safety and, in fear of being defeated, decided to order three lower rank moons to eliminate Miku's entire family.
