Mio Kasasagi ░ Fourth Year ░ Mahoutokoro

Mio looks pretty ordinary. Really, her looks don’t stand out much. She has fair skin, pitch black, medium-length hair, with a blunt fringe that almost covers her pupils. She looked pretty much just like any other Japanese girl, other than the fact that she is just a little bit taller than normal, standing at 168cm.

Her body type could be considered normal as well; she looked just a little bit stronger than most due to her hobby of collecting insects and little trinkets she finds near her neighbourhood. This makes a lot of people perceive her to be a little masculine compared to the other girls.

Although her basic appearance is pretty normal, her sense of style might be the complete opposite. Mio has a unique sense of style, often wearing androgynous, dark-colored clothing and mismatched accessories, such as insect-inspired jewelry or colourful shiny ornaments. All her accessories are based on all the random objects she "found" or even just on the streets of her neighbourhood. Her outfit often looked quite quirky and unique, but maybe a little too extravagant to some. Her style may look messy and untamed, but somehow, from her eyes, they are perfectly in place.

Mio Kasasagi, born on the 3rd of January, was left in the care of her grandparents, Aya and Goro Kasasagi. Although Mio is raisedd without real parents, she lives just like any other Japanese young witches and wizards. Aya and Goro own an independent bathhouse in the bustling small city of Yamagata, where they are famed for their onsen and mountains. Growing up, Mio always helped out in the bathhouse while also learning a little magic from Aya and Goro, her grandparents.

Aya and Goro are not the best witches or wizards per se, but they never limit Mio from learning magic. They always wanted to give Mio the best education, even though they can barely afford the best books and equipment. Mio doesn't really mind living with her grandparents, actually, she's glad that her parents leave* her with her grandparents. She loves living in the bathhouse because it has many fascinating qualities in every corner. From the ghostly, creaky hallway, where she would hear enchanting noises coming from the wood panels, or the smoky pool of water, where she swears she hears a beautiful lament every time the water pours from the pipes. Moreover, she is especially delighted by the gossip Mumajin tells about how the bathhouse was haunted. Either there was a rumour about someone brutally murdered inside, or it used to be an institution where many people had passed. She doesn't know for sure if it's true or not, but she is actually delighted by the thought of darkness lurking where she stands.

At this point, Mio has lived with her grandparents for 2 years now. Her grandparents were always too busy, so she occasionally tries to "help them, But most of the time, she becomes more of a nuisance rather than actually helping them.

So she would just stand and watch them or pull an occasional prank. One day, while Mio was just sitting on the corner of the room, she noticed a small-sized moth flying inside the dining room and fluttering around the light fixture on top of her.

Mio gazes at the moth, squinting to see the pattern of its back. But the moth was flying too quickly for her to see its pattern. Frustated, the 7-year-old Mio put up her arms, almost like trying to grasp the moths with her small hands. But the distance and her short hands could not possibly reach the flying insects physically, even if she tried to. But Mio is still reaching for the pair of wings fluttering near the flickering light bulb.

Suddenly, the Moth started to look like it flew closer to her, ...no, it isn't becoming closer, but instead larger. It became larger and larger, to the size of a medium-sized dog. Mio felt a little bit spooked but wasn't scared. Since she grew up around wizards, magic is never foreign to her. The moth stops growing when it can completely see the pattern on its back. It was beautiful, a black, almost purple, fuzzy wings with white accents that looked like a pair of eyes staring back at her. Suddenly, the door opened in surprise. The Moth was fluttering around the room until it managed to escape to the night sky storming past her grandmother, who opened the sliding wooden door. Mio's grandma screamed in shock when she saw the size of the moth, almost making her fall over to her back. She also hated bugs or any other insects, so that event surely traumatized the old lady.
