for starters, mirage is an assault group within the port mafia adhering to the order of the executives, alongside the likes of the black lizard. made up of five key members and a battalion, three of which are ability users, mizaru at their head. they work on tactical subjugation due to the nature of mizaru's ability being able to rid entire opposing squads of their sight and hearing. this makes them a prime choice for any necessary assassinations in tandem with other port mafia groups and members such as akutagawa gin. they have been known to be sent overseas.
⸺ MIZARU . NAKAMURA ( 中村, middle village ), YUKA ( 有佳, exist, good ) .
raised in the slums of yokohama, mizaru was discovered at thirteen by port mafia officers as they partook in a job in the surrounding area. feeling threatened, mizaru robbed them of their senses in attempt to force them to leave. seeing this as a potential advantage for the port mafia's ability - user arsenal, she was recruited and with her came two younger ability users she had taken into her care.
originally named nakamura yuka, she decided to change this once she had joined the leagues of the port mafia and essentially cut herself off from her previous life, beginning anew. she chose to name herself after a division of her ability, mizaru - see no evil, as within the connotations of her ability's real - life basis, she partakes in the west's interpretation - turning a blind eye to evil and impropriety and using her ability to her advantage within this. ( in an alternative universe, mizaru was sought out by the hunting dogs and uses her ability in the search for justice, though the act of changing her name does not change, only in this context it means she will rid the world of evil under the government's orders. )
having started her life in the slums, on her left - hand mizaru is missing her index and middle fingers, having lost them in a street - fight. she won, but not before her opponent played dirty and bit them clean off. one of the ability - users within mirage possesses the ability to form weapons and other objects from most raw materials, and as a result fashioned mizaru a prosthetic that takes the shape of a two - fingered glove, when worn she is able to hold objects as normal, it bends and moves as though her fingers are there.
her ability, three wise evils, works in nature as mizaru being able to rid others of their sense of sight, hearing and their ability to speak ( this works by closing their throat, cutting off their breathing in the process ). it has a large radius of around 25km, meaning it is effective in long - range disabling of enemy groups and she can use this on multiple bodies, so far without a sure limitation. she possesses the ability to choose which of those she targets, and can differentiate between ally and foe. to begin the process, she must speak the sense she is robbing.
three wise evils exists as a give and take ability, meaning that whichever sense mizaru rids her victims of, she must give one up in return. if mizaru chooses to rob someone of their sight, she must give up her hearing or speech, if she robs them of their hearing she must give up her sight or speech. almost always the former, as ridding herself of her ability to speak closes her throat, too. she can use these in tandem and rid someone of two of their senses, but then she must give up whatever is left for herself. she wears sunglasses so that enemies cannot see which of her own senses she has given up. with missing sight, the eyes of others --- or her own, become a black void that only slips away once the ability is retracted.
due to the nature of her ability, mizaru is always accompanied by another member of mirage whose task, when mizaru is using her ability, is to be her eyes / ears. think - those cute little fish that stick to the sides of sharks and clean them, except this isn't cleaning it's just a protective contingency to make sure she isn't ambushed or set upon in order to stop the darkness and silence.
a skilled weapons user, she carries a standard issue handgun and an array of knives holstered to her belt. she is skilled in evasive and defensive techniques, but is also a proficient close - range fighter, being that she can control when her opponents can see or hear her.
personality wise, honest, assertive and balanced within her own ego. like many within the port mafia she is steadfastly loyal, they gave her a home when she had nothing, and she lost a great deal in wake of the defeat of paul verlaine as his singularity caused dire losses within the port mafia's gifted and non-gifted arsenal.
she is guilt - prone if things go wrong, places a great deal of responsibility on herself to care for those in her charge. in nature she is highly observant and can be cruel to those outside of her circle ie. the port mafia, mirage, and those who seek to threaten them. mizaru is advantageous and aspirational within her goals to ascend in port mafia hierarchy and constantly outdoes herself. she can be apathetic towards pain in others, yet she is earnest and sincere when the need for it arises. notorious grudge - holder, but good - natured and easy to get along with. due to the nature of her ability and her position within mirage, and thus the port mafia, she has an outwardly intimidating persona, but once that gate has been opened she is easy to be around.
with enemies, she likes to play with them before handing them off. her ability is widely used for questioning others alongside tactical subjugation.
