School: High School - Senior Year (But she's struggling and just barely making it)
Personality: Mika is a type of young girl who is kind, but sometimes people think otherwise because of how honest and straight forward she is. She's never afraid to burst our her opinion, whether it be loud, or quiet, but she isn't afraid to stand up for herself, or someone else but she's probably stay back for a while, waiting for someone else to say something first. It's not that she's afraid to say what she thinks, but she wants to see if anyone else would do the same thing as her, to be brave and be the hero.
Mika likes to think of herself as a hero, someone who's always saving someone else and bringing smiles to people's faces. It's not always a save as in rescuing someone from a life and death situation, though she would really want to do that, but it is sometimes, and almost always, saving someone who's lonely or unconfident. This goes for people of all ages, all genders, all nationalities, she doesn't care as long as she's able to help someone.
Oddities: Guillain Barre - Losing muscle strength starting from the feet and up (ascendancy) It also ties with breathing problems, clumsiness, and some pain although unlike most people who have it, it's not deadly to Mika from what doctors are saying.
Insomnia - She has trouble sleeping at night because she's afraid of giving into death during her sleep, even though the doctors say her other disorder is not deadly.

Bio: Mika grew up with her single mother throughout her life. Her father had passed by the same disorder she got from him (Guillian Barre) so her mother's been single ever since, but won't move on because of her strong love for her dead husband. Mika never knew her father though, so she didn't really understand why her mother was constantly weeping over a picture of a grown man, but her mother always did it when she thought Mika was looking away so that way her child wouldn't feel any pain like she did. Her mother always wanted Mika to be a smiling and helpful child in the first place, so she didn't want her to see any depression from anyone, or else it'd be a terrible influence.
She got most of her friends in elementary, being the social butterfly of her grade. She always talked to anyone possible, and everyone possible, but that made her forget about one thing; She had grades to worry about. Even though she was in elementary only, she never paid attention, and it made her grades suffer. This especially took place in Jr. High, where because she didn't know her multiplication very well, had trouble memorizing formulas... so she had terrible grades, and just barely made it to the next grade without being left behind.
Mika also had trouble in PE. She and her mother never knew about her disorder for a long while until Jr. High where she started to collapse during the runs, or even small jogs they did. Her mother got very worried and took her to the hospital where the doctors told her what her daughter had, but saying it wasn't deadly from what they know. This lead to Mika skipping PE everyday and instead, trying to catch up with her studies she missed years before.
There was a boy there who also helped her do that. He was two years older than her, and he was constantly teased for helping a 'kid', but he still helped her anyways. He tutored her after school for around a whole year. Over time, she developed romantic feelings for him, but kept quiet. She decided to ask him just before he would proceed to high school, but on the last day, the day she was going to confess, she figured out that he already asked someone else who accepted. This put her into depression for a long while, but eventually got over it and moved on with life.
Also during Jr. High also, she began to visit the orphanage since it was on the way back to her home. She met these three young children who had no family other than each other. She found them strange at first, but over time, she got to know them better, and they became like a family. She thinks of herself as their older sister because they all adore her for how much she smiles and stays happy. Not only that, but they admire her because she stopped their bullying once, leading to them calling her a hero. This is where she got the hero idea from, because of those three children.
Sadly though, she moved high schools from her friends that she met during that time, and lost them for a long while. It was saddening, and she struggled even further without their support in her high school alone, and stressed even more because of her grades and because of how unintelligent she was. Still, she soon figured out that she would finally reunite with her friends again that summer, and looks forward to it more than anything.
Other: Mika doesn't get much sleep, so she's often yawning and has those black bags underneath her eyes though hardly anyone notices because how much she smiles and acts like she's not tired. Mika can also speak English and Japanese from her mother's tutoring (Her mother is British, her father is Japanese).
Relationships: Mika has a very close relationship to her mother who is still alive today. They're almost like best friends, especially since her mother looks very young and acts very similar to her daughter. Although Mika never knew him, she has a strong love for her father because of all the great things she's heard from her mother. Overall, she loves herfamily more than words can describe.

Naota Suzumi~ "He's... well... an odd one? He doesn't smile very often and it bothers me that somethings wrong... Or maybe that's just his personality?"
Kisa Yamada~ "Even though she's older than me, she's quite childish and immature! I kind of like that about her really... Hopefully it wouldn't be bothering if we could become friends!"

Hotaru Quo~ "Quiet too? Really... people won't ever make friends if they don't open up to other people... it worries me about what will happen to them in the future..."
