Personality: Miyako, like the previous Rat's, is quick-witted, clever, charming, sharp and funny. She has excellent taste, is a good friend and is generous and loyal to others considered part of her 'pack'. Miyako is ever curious, seeks knowledge and welcomes challenges of any sort. Some are even intimidated by her presence and spunk, but she never turns down a person in need and will do anything to help. But around the other members of the Zodiac, Miyako tends to be apathetic, keeps her distance, and never makes eye contact. This is mainly in front of the Head of the Family, whom she wishes to never disappoint or anger. When she does, she spirals into depression until the 'kind' words of the Head bring her back up. When she is around the other Juunishi at school though, if they are willing to speak to her, she's darn well going to speak back.

Typical Attire: Miyako loves skirts, long sleeve sweaters and slip on shoes, but she wears dresses here and there.
Keepsakes: A ring given to her from her grandmother which she never removes.
History: Miyako grew up in a household where everything was perfect. She was forced to walk a thin line by her parents, but she didn't know that. Miyako felt as though she was the luckiest person in the world to have a beautiful house, a loving family and an unbreakable bond. She was always confused by the concept of sadness and hatred.
Until she felt sadness first hand.
When Miyako was 6, her mother and father wanted to have another child, make a sibling for Miyako to play and bond with. But when they went to the Head, the Head took it out on Miyako, accusing her of wanting someone else to bond with. Miyako took the beating, and worse, believed it was all her fault. It took several weeks for her to recover fully, and even longer mentally. Once Miyako started up school, she was having issues, not only at home, but in classes to. Her parents had forced her to start learning everything out there, all the musical instruments, all the words in the dictionary and more.
It wasn't till about Miyako's last year of elementary school that they found out she was slightly dyslexic. Her parents blamed it all on her, which she believed, but pushed for her to over come it. Miyako still has troubles with it, but keeps it to herself and deals with it the best she can. Miyako had a grandmother whom she was very close to, but died when Miyako started middle school. It was a very hard time for her, but that was when she started being more like her grandmother, polite and caring.
In both middle school and high school, Miyako was elected Class Rep., giving her even more work and less time to relax. During middle school, she formed a case of Insomnia, making it impossible to sleep or sleep only for short periods of time. This only made her physically weaker and she got sick more often.
When you look at her from a glance, she looks like the strongest person in the world, but underneath it, even unknown to herself, Miyako is at her limits. Because Miyako is the Rat, she appears to have the closest bond with the Head. She loves this because she just may be the only member of the Juunishi that doesn't want the curse lifted. Because of what the first Rat did, she feels obligated to make the others hate her, as punishment for 'her' cruel and selfish act.
