Disposition: Miu comes across as being distant and maybe even arrogant, always looking down on people. This isn’t far from the truth, really-- she does distance herself from people, seeing the world in shades of herself vs. everyone else. With the ability to read minds, Miu from a very young age has been able to know a person’s real thoughts and feelings, which has made her grow up jaded. She often finds herself disgusted with the way humanity lies and hides behind fakeness and more lies on top of it all just to get through the day.
This doesn’t mean Miu is honest entirely herself. She's blunt and less inclined to pretty up her words when telling the truth than most, but she still omits truths and doesn't readily volunteer information about herself; she describes herself as being "empty," and that because of that she can become anything--she doesn’t care much about herself, so she just does whatever she’s told without much feeling or emotion behind what it is she’s doing. She despises people and their 'ugliness' they hide and trusts no one but herself. She simply doesn’t care and doesn’t feel particularly moved by most things. She’s an aspiring actress who does work as a gravure model and has been making strides landing small roles and has a lot of promise. This is because slipping in and out of roles and wearing masks, faking emotions and, ironically since it’s what she hates, lying is what she’s best at.
Despite that, there are some exceptions to what motivates and moves her. She’s driven mostly by the feelings of abandonment and confusion that stems from her mother abandoning her, since Miu doesn’t know or understand why she was left behind. This is what starts her drive to seek her mother out, hoping for answers. It's through this journey that she meets Yuri, someone much like herself and who she feels she can actually connect with, and begins to feel a little alive again. She learns to care for Yuri and tentatively reaches out to the other girl. She's abrasive at first, rather haughtily telling Yuri that her powers far exceed Yuri's and explaining she's had these abilities all her life. She’s shown to be determined and driven when she sets her mind to something, such as when Yuri goes missing and Miu throws off Ren’s worries. Ren repeatedly attempts to warn and stop Miu, with Miu simply bulldozing over the worries by casually continuing to speak, saying that she’s taking the camera and going up on the mountain. She’s also not above striking low-- when Ren grabs her in an attempt to physically stop her, Miu catches a glimpse of one of Ren’s darkest memories and callously asks him, "Did you kill that girl?" to throw him off balance before she again states she's going up on the mountain and leaves.
Because of her abilities, Miu also doesn’t have much of a sense of fear. She does still get scared of things popping out at her, of course, but she's been seeing the broken, twisted spirits of the dead since she was tiny, so it hardly fazes her anymore. Her biggest fear is being alone-- That is, that the reason her mother abandoned her was because she was unwanted and she’s afraid of always being unwanted and alone.
Under pressure: Miu is the sort of person that once she sets her mind to something, she stubbornly persists and sees it out. When she heard that her mother was supposedly seen on Mt. Hikami, Miu didn't hesitate to drop everything to go pursue her despite the mountain's fearsome and terrifying reputation.
Yuri saved her life and, when Yuri went missing, Miu took up Yuri's camera to go try and find her in turn. When Ren tried to stop her, she used her abilities against him and told him in no uncertain terms that if he wasn't going to do anything about it, she would, and she wasn't going to let him stop her.
Condition upon arrival:
Abilities:
Extremely strong spiritual powers, which comes with the ability to see and speak with spirits. She also has a special ability that, when using the camera obscura, allows her to temporarily slow time for a few seconds.
Able to see a person’s thoughts, emotions, and delves into their memories with a touch. She’s almost constantly aware of someone’s true feelings, thought she tends to just let it wash over her without really digging further.
Kagemi: Shadow Reading. The ability to see the secrets of objects when handling them, and involves following the "shadows" of the past, of missing things or spirited away people. For example if someone was missing a ring, having the ring box means Miu could track down and locate the ring. Having just a photo of a missing person enables Miu to track that person down. Typically she can manage to track them far enough, but if they really don't want to be found then the trail might go cold eventually or get 'fuzzy,' leaving her unable to find the person. To quote one of the memos about it: The traces will attract malevolent ghosts, so it is dangerous to spend too long gazing at them. Yet another risk lies in following the trace of a person who has already died or has been spirited away, as you may be inadvertently following them into the world of the dead.
Mitori: Glancing (mitori) in Fatal Frame V is the ability to touch a spirit at the moment of defeat and witness a vision of its last moments. This sort of ties into the above of seeing a person’s thoughts and emotions and such.
Also a very accomplished liar and actress. Quite skilled in photography as well, with quick reflexes..
Inventory:
-The Camera Obscura (an exorcism tool, harms supernatural beings when their picture is taken)

Notes:
As mentioned above, Miu is what’s called a 'shadowborn' or 'yomiko.' "Shadowborn (夜泉子, yomiko) is a term first mentioned in Fatal Frame V, referring to children born between a living woman and a dead man. Children born from this union are said to be half dead from birth and have extraordinarily strong sixth senses, making them feared - and sometimes revered - by those around them. Giving birth to one apparently drastically reduces the lifespan of the mother. How the child is conceived is currently unknown; however, it appears that it involves a strong emotional attachment to, and longing for, a deceased loved one."
