Personality: Intelligent. Calculating. Aloof. Naïve. Driven. Guilt-ridden. These words are things that stand out most about the only child of Takeharu Kirijo, CEO of the Kirijo Group. Because that’s who she is to those who see her from the outside, that is how Mitsuru conducts herself. She is top of her class, the student council president, and she also is the leader of the extra-curricular group known as SEES to the school board.
What only her friends get to see is the caring, compassionate young woman who is so riddled with guilt over what her grandfather started with the family’s company that she pushes herself to near-exhaustion to make amends. She was a small child when the events occurred, but she knows enough to feel that as a Kirijo it is her responsibility to take care of the issue with the Dark Hour, Tartarus, and, later, Nyx.
The only time her indelible will wavers is when Shuji Ikutsuki reveals that he’d been using the SEES to bring about The Fall that her grandfather worked towards and the murders her father in front of her. The light that pushes her forward, that allowed her to support the rest of the team after Shinjirou Aragaki’s murder, is extinguished. Even when she returns to school and the team, she’s merely going through the motions, doing what she’s supposed to do. And it isn’t until Yukari literally slaps sense into her that she resolves to fight once more. (It is after this that you can start the Empress S.Link with her.)
Since she is really the Ojou-sama of an important family, Mitsuru has some trouble relating to things that would be normal to those around her like Yukari or Junpei (who are decidedly the most normal members of SEES). She is extremely sheltered and naïve, as the secret recordings in the Chairman’s office that you can watch show you. She has a person who picks out her clothes and keeps them together in outfits for her so she doesn’t have to worry about that. She called the police officer associated with the group because she thought Junpei had been kidnapped. (She found out that he is only a horrendous slob.)
During her S.Link progression, you find out that she also has a practical, cold look on love. As the product of an arranged marriage that grew into love and respect, she sees nothing wrong with that for herself. That is, until she grows closer to the MC and the other teens. Eventually she comes to terms with the fact that she wants to have her own life, and that includes who she loves.
Abilities:Mitsuru incorporates her classical fencing training with some good old fashion kicks to the face to finish out her combos for actual physical damage. She is an ice user, with the Bufudyne and Mabufudyne spells in her repertoire. She also has Tentarafoo (which acts as a confuse), Marin Karin (which is definitely a charm), Spirit Drain, Ice Boost, Ice Break (which lowers an enemy’s resistance to ice spells, Mind Charge (a magic boosting spell for short amounts of time), and lastly Diarahan, the most powerful single-target healing spell.
She is also incredibly intelligent, a great strategist, and fluent in French.
