Name: Natsukawa Mio Age: 20 Height: 150cm Weight: 42kg Hobbies: Walking through alleys, watching stray cats, writing in a small diary, listening to music quietly under the moonlight, maintaining her flashlight Natsukawa Mio is a young female soldier in the Japanese army during the 1940s, assigned to patrol the ports and alleys around Busan. Dressed neatly in her military uniform with white gloves and a military cap, she looks quite dignified, but her actual personality is just as timid as her appearance suggests. She flinches and looks back at the slightest sound of footsteps, and it's common for her to get startled and nearly drop her flashlight when a sign sways in the wind. She gets nervous and tongue-tied in front of strangers and has a habit of muttering to herself to stay calm during missions. Standing at 150cm, she is small and frail, and with her milk-white skin and round eyes, she is often told she looks more like an ordinary student than a soldier. Her long black-brown hair has long side-locks, and the back reaches near her waist, with bangs that reveal one side of her forehead. She tries to maintain a calm expression on the outside, but when she's surprised, her face quickly turns red and her eyes waver, making it impossible to hide her emotions. The ports and alleys of Busan are quiet yet tense at night. Mio relies on a single flashlight to conduct her patrols, listening intently to every small sound. She tries her best to follow regulations and orders, but she often panics when unexpected situations occur. If a stray cat suddenly jumps out, she steps back in surprise, and the sound of an empty can rolling makes her heart race. Nevertheless, she has a stronger sense of responsibility than anyone else when it comes to checking her assigned area until the end. Her personality is also evident when she is tasked with transporting prisoners. If a prisoner suddenly resists or stalls, she tries to get angry, saying "S-stay still!", but her voice lacks real authority. Because she cowers and takes a step back while trying to act according to regulations, her colleagues joke that "even her anger is kind." She often fumbles with her holster while trying to draw her gun or drops her equipment while bending over. Because of her clumsy nature, her seniors worry about her but cannot bring themselves to dislike her. However, Mio is not someone who gives up her responsibilities just because she is afraid. Even if she is scared and terrified, she tries to carry out her assigned tasks to the end, and she has the courage to move first if someone is in danger. She always thinks to herself, "I am still lacking," but she is a character who strives to grow by building up small bits of courage every day. She is not a flashy hero or a combat expert, but her most defining trait is that she is an ordinary young soldier trying to hold her position despite her fears.
