History Characters / MierukoChan

* ClingyJealousGirl: She looks relieved when Michiru denies that she has made friends at school and makes a very creepy face when she eavesdrops on Michiru talking about how much she adores Miko.

* MyBelovedSmother: She's Michiru's older sister instead of her mother, but fits perfectly otherwise. She's extremely controlling and clingy towards Michiru, to the point she treats her like her doll instead of a person.

* BrutalHonesty: Bluntly tells Miko that his charms won't do much against the Mountain god while asking her to keep its attention anyway.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Surprisingly, Romm took Towako's teachings to help people, both the living and the dead, to heart. The reason why he has such a great interest with the mountain shrine is because [[spoiler: he once heard a girl asking for help, implied to be the spirit of a sacrifice victim who later became the Mountain god]].

[[folder:Mountain God (SPOILER)]]
!!The Mountain God

* VillainousRescue: It kills off the river spirit that had been trying to get Hana, as she was now the debt for Miko's unwitting DealWithTheDevil and didn't intend to lose its prey to another ghost.
* WasOnceAMan: Originally a normal human girl who was heavily implied to be the subject of a HumanSacrifice ritual.

* AssKickingPose: Does the same pose after a successful exorcism as part of her television show with her right palm held up and her left hand in a fist with two fingers pointing to the right. This is how Mitsue and Shindou recognize her after she has been [[spoiler:transformed into a servant of the Mountain God]].
* BigDamnHeroes: Intervenes when Mitsue and Shindou fall afoul of the [[spoiler:Mountain God]].

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:After the Mountain God is defeated and the soul is the sacrificed girl is freed, Towako's soul passes on with a smile.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: Grabs the [[spoiler:Mountain God's]] bell meant for Shindou.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Forcing her to attack [[spoiler:Mitsue and Shindou]] caused her to turn on the [[spoiler:Mountain God]] and attack her fellows.

* MamaBear: Goes out in full regalia to confront the [[spoiler:Mountain God]] who was trying to seize Shindou.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Presumably dies to protect Shindou from the [[spoiler:Mountain God]].

* PosthumousCharacter: Died when Shindou was still a kid, [[spoiler:though her spirit still lingers around as one of the servants of the Mountain God]].
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: In the current day, she is one of the two servants of the [[spoiler:Mountain God]].

* AccidentalPervert: PlayedWith. Because of a [[NotWhatItLooksLike amusing misurdestanding]], he thinks Miko has a bastard boyfriend and wants to check if her body has any hickies or bruises, he deliberately [[ShowerOfAwkward walks on her bathing]] to check, but gets embarrassed when he happens to walk in [[SexySurfacingShot just as she's climbing out of the water]].

* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: From Miko's perspective, she looks like a girl with a large tentacled and eyeless thing for a head.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Michiru is ''very'' possessive of Miko and doesn't take kindly to anybody who would steal Miko's attention away from her. In particular, she doesn't like Hana due to her status as Miko's best friend.

* FashionModel: She's a popular model of the Chaos Teen magazine.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AtsushiImaruoka (JP), Brent Mukai (EN), Creator/DafnisFernandez (LA)

* ShanaClone: Yuria has some traits of the archetype; short, blonde twintails, and displays {{Tsundere}} tendencies towards the protagonist.

* CurbStompBattle: Most spirits that pose any threat to Michiru end up being torn apart by her ghost tentacles in seconds. In one notable case, an enormous ghost attempts to rip apart a tentacle clinging to Miko while Michuru is busy talking in another room, [[NoSell it's efforts are treated as so non threatening that the tentacles don't even bother reacting]] until Michuru walks out into the hallway, whereupon the ghost is immediately shredded.

* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: She becomes obsessed with Miko because she's the only one who has no interest in her modeling job nor her beauty (since Miko can't even see her human face). She's only happy about Miko lying about seeing her as beautiful because it makes Michiru believe her love for Miko is mutual.

%% * BoobBasedGag: Her huge bust size is a major source of humor.

* NeverGetsFat: Hana is as thin as Miko even though she eats ten times more than her friend. It's something of a RunningGag that Hana and Miko joke about all the calories going to Hana's boobs.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Michiru is VERY possessive of Miko and doesn't take kindly to anybody who would steal Miko's attention away from her. In particular, she doesn't like Hana due to her status as Miko's best friend.

* CurbStompBattle: Thus far no other spirit has posed any threat to Michiru's tentacles, which freely lash out and consume any ghost that wanders close to her. In one notable case an enormous ghost attempts to rip apart a tentacle clinging to Miko while Mochuru is busy talking in another room, [[NoSell it's efforts are treated as so non threatening that the tentacles don't even bother reacting]] until Michuru walks out into the hallway, whereupon the ghost is immediately shredded.
** Averted when Michiru formally visits Miko's home and the octopus spirit attempts to attack the ghost of Miko's father with one of its tentacles, only for it to be effortlessly stopped by the ghost that haunts Miko's kitchen. Both it and the octopus spirit have a stare down until the octopus spirit backs off.

* ACupAngst: While there's no indications that she's necessarily flat, there are times when she gets annoyed with Hana's GagBoobs.

* GagBoobs: Her huge bust size is a major source of humor.

* {{Chuunibyou}}: She has shades of this. Well, she does have powers but she definitely plays it up in her head to make it more dramatic.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Since she can only see smaller or weaker spirits, she ends up thinking that ALL spirits are as weak and harmless as those.

* BigEater: In the majority of her scenes she's either eating or talking about eating. This is also shown to be how she maintains her ginormous aura.

* EatingLunchAlone: Miko accidentally runs into her eating in the school's bathroom. She later eats with Miko and Hana more often.

* EatingLunchAlone: Miko accidentally sees her eating in the school's bathroom.

* HyperAwareness: Michuru seems to possess a preternatural awareness of when anyone is spying on her.

* AthleticallyChallenged: She can't even throw a basketball without letting it fall on her head.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The nature of Michiru's relationship with the supernatural is unclear. Romm posits that she's just a normal girl overlaid with a spirit possessing her, but there are aspects of Michuru herself that seem strange. She somehow manages to break into Miko's room at night, bypassing locked doors and windows without being seen or heard by anyone, as if she simply appeared over Miko's bed suddenly.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: As she grows obsessed with Miko, Michiru wants to be as close to her as she can. Her [[EmpathyPet octopus spirit's]] tentacles tend to touch and wrap themselves around Miko on multiple occasions, much to Miko's discomfort. It gets worse when a misunderstanding causes Michiru to mistakenly believe that her feelings for Miko are mutual, resulting in Michiru holding Miko's hand as the octopus' tentacles aggressively grab Miko and one of them shoves itself into Miko's mouth.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Forcing her to attack [[spoiler:Mitsue and Shindou]] caused her to turn on the [[spoiler:MountainGod]] and attack her fellows.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Although many of her classmates treat her kindly, she believes they are only interested in her because of her looks and popularity, but then quickly develops an obsessive attachment to Miko because, from her perspective, Miko is the only classmate who can tell when she's upset (because Miko can see [[ExpressiveHair her tentacles]]) and tries her best to make her feel comfortable rather than admired. She doesn't know Miko is doing that because Miko sees her as a horrifying monster whose tentacles will move to stab whoever makes her upset.
* BeneathTheMask: She tries to look calm and keep her emotions bottled up, but Miko can see whenever she's angry or upset by looking at her ghost tentacles. The most noteworthy example is when Michiru is in the presence of her ControlFreak older sister; her human face looks unbothered, but Miko sees her ghost form going into a mad rage.
* BerserkButton: In general, she seems to get very upset over small things, which Miko can tell due to her tentacles acting like they will stab someone, such as when they seem to be about to stab Hana when the latter mentions her Lambda Rabbit keychain is cuter than the Meme-chan keychain that Michiru and Miko like.

* CombatTentacles: Whenever someone makes her upset, her tentacles get on the offensive and return to normal when she relaxes. Her tentacles can also stab and absorb ghosts that get close to her, although she doesn't appear to have conscious control over it.

* CovertPervert: She appears to be a calm and elegant model, but when she thinks no one is looking, she filches a pencil Miko used for art class and bites and sucks on it while thinking of Miko.

* ExpressiveHair: For a given value of "hair", this is effectively how her tentacles function in Miko Vision. They will writhe and poise themselves to "stab" someone if she gets upset with them, they will reach out for things she wants, like a caterpillar-shaped pastry since she likes caterpillars, and they will gently wrap themselves around Miko while walking together since Michiru likes her.

* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: She becomes obsessed with Miko because she's the only one who has no interest in her modeling job nor her beauty (since Miko can't even see her human face). Granted, Michiru has over the moon when Miko lied about finding Michiru beautiful as her excuse for secretly taking pictures of her to give to Romm.

* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Miko sees the intensely negative reaction of Michiru's tentacles when a classmate tries to touch her hair. Michiru is happy that Miko apparently noticed and stopped the classmate for her sake.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: As she grows obsessed with Miko, Michiru wants to be as close to her as she can. Her ghost tentacles tend to touch and wrap themselves around Miko on multiple occasions, much to Miko's discomfort. It gets worse when a misunderstanding causes Michiru to mistakenly believe that her feelings for Miko are mutual, resulting in Michiru's tentacles aggressively grabbing Miko and one of them shoving itself into Miko's mouth.

* TheShadowKnows: She looks like a normal girl to people without paranormal vision, but the tentacles of her head octopus do appear in her shadow.

* PinocchioNose: Her eyes look away whenever she lies to her.

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: As Mitsue puts it, it is only known as a god by the locals, but it is in no way divine and is extremely dangerous. It ultimately turns out to be a shrine maiden who was ritually sacrificed to be transformed into a god of sorts.

* AssKickingPose: Does the same pose after a successful exorcism as part of her television show with her right palm held up and her left hand in a fist with two fingers pointing to the right. This is how Mitsue and Shindou recognize her after she has been [[spoiler: transformed into a servant of the Shrine Kami.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Intervenes when Mitsue and Shindou fall afoul of the [[spoiler: Shrine Kami]].

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:After the Shrine God is defeated and the soul is the sacrificed girl is freed, Towako's soul passes on with a smile.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: Grabs the [[spoiler: Shrine Kami's]] bell meant for Shindou.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Forcing her to attack [[spoiler: Mitsue and Shindou]] caused her to turn on the [[spoiler: Shrine Kami]] and attack her fellows.

* MamaBear: Goes out in full regalia to confront the [[spoiler: Shrine Kami]] who was trying to seize Shindou.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Presumably dies to protect Shindou from the [[spoiler: Shrine Kami]].

* PosthumousCharacter: Died when Shindou was still a kid, [[spoiler: though her spirit still lingers around as one of the servants of Shrine god]].
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: In the current day, she is one of the two servants of the [[spoiler: Shrine Kami]].

[[folder:Yoh Ichijou]]
!!Yoh Ichijou

* IncestantAdmirer: She has a quite creepy relationship with Michiru where she tries to have constant physical contact with her and even makes her take baths together. Michiru doesn't openly object to any of this, but her true feelings are obvious since the spirit latched on to her head reacts the most hostilely to Yoh.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When she's alone with Michiru, she just can't keep her hands off her sister. Michiru puts up with it, but the spirit bonded to her shows Yoh's behavior upsets her ''a lot''.

* AmbiguouslyGay: She has shown no attachments to anyone with the exception of her pet caterpillar and Miko, for whom she has nurtured a powerful obsession in a frighteningly short time. It's up to interpretation whether her feelings for Miko come from romantic attraction or a desperate need for a true friend who doesn't care about her good looks or modeling job.

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Romm's take on Michiru's situation is that she is actually being possessed by a ghost that reacts to Michiru's emotions and that it's Miko's ridiculously strong ability to perceive spirits that causes Miko to be unable to perceive the girl that the monster has bonded to.]]

* PinocchioNose: Her eyes look away from her sister whenever she lies to her.

* TheShadowKnows: She looks like a normal girl to people without paranormal vision, but the tentacles in her head do appear in her shadow.

* IncestantAdmirer: She has a quite creepy relationship with Michiru where she tries to have constant physical contact with her and even makes her take baths together. Michiru doesn't openly object to any of this, but her true feelings are obvious since her ghost monster head reacts the most hostilely to You.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When she's alone with Michiru, she just can't keep her hands off her sister. Michiru puts up with it, but her ghost monster head shows You's behavior upsets her ''a lot''.

[[folder:Zen's mother (SPOILERS)]]

* ObliviousToLove: From her perspective, Michiru looks a scary monster that she must keep happy to prevent others from getting hurt by Michiru's tentacles. She has no idea that her actions towards Michiru are causing Michiru to turn into a StalkerWithACrush for her.

* NeverGetsFat: It's shocking that Hana can be as thin as Miko when she eats ten times more than her friend. It's something of a RunningGag that Hana and Miko joke about all the calories going to Hana's boobs.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The nature of Michiru's relationship with the supernatural is unclear, Romm posits that she's just a normal girl overlaid with a spirit possessing her, but there are aspects of Michuru herself that seem strange.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: As she grows obsessed with Miko, Michiru wants to be as close to her as she can, although she refrains from improperly touching her... with her human body parts, that is. Her ghost tentacles, however, tend to touch and wrap themselves around Miko on multiple occasions, much to Miko's discomfort. It gets worse in Chapter 47 when Michiru mistakenly believes that her feelings for Miko are mutual after noticing that Miko have been secretly taking pictures of her. This resulted in Michiru's tentacles aggressively grabbing Miko and one of them shoving itself into Miko's mouth. Luckily, the tentacles halted themselves thanks to a well timed interruption from Miko's classmates.
