Mina is the mother of Tia Minx and wife of Allen Minx. She is an extremely mysterious figure to all around her, even to her own family. Many things are unknown about Mina including her age, full background, racial magic and neither her husband or daughter have ever seen her fight or even touch a weapon. Her husband has assumed Mina has things in her past she prefers to leave behind much as he does and has respected her privacy on most matters. What Allen does know is Mina was previously one of many concubines serving the late emperor of Nippon.

After the emperor passed away, Mina was freed from her duty as a concubine. She had already formed a friendship with Allen, playing a major role in his self-discovery and healing. Their relationship quickly developed into something more. However, when she married Allen she also cut ties with her secretive clan and they similarly stayed out of Tia's life due to her Accian heritage. Mina is still respected within the clan for her service and she possesses her own home in the mountains outside the capital. She would often spend time here with her new family, especially Tia. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to about Tia being treated as an outsider by her peers. Her daughter did not inherit any ethnic features common to Nihonjin, she looks entirely Eluzian. Tia still inherited most of Mina's general features but only her complexion resembled that of the other children.

Mina and Tia were very close before they left Nippon. Tia greatly admired her mother and often attempted to emulate her. However, Tia is very different from her mother in many regards. Where Mina is elegant, refined and graceful Tia is boisterous, earnest and gauche. Mina always found these qualities charming, failing to see the insecurities Tia developed because of their differences. Their close relationship and her daughter's admiration for her made Mina's betrayal all the more painful when she left Tia on the mountaintop. Due to this event and the secrets of Mina's past, she is unable to reconcile with Tia or find her way back into her or Allen's life. Despite this, she is still doing what she can to aid and protect them in any way she can manage, relying on an old friend to these ends. Over the course of Tia's adventure, Mina's secrets will shadow her and push Tia further towards her fate. Tia will work to glean these secrets and uncover their meaning.

Personality



Mina has a skill for disarming and de-escalation, seeming ever steady and composed. She is very elegant, feminine and well mannered. Yet she can still be playful and coy and she is generous with her affection for her family. Elegance and poise aside, Mina is also very mysterious and magnetic, drawing attention wherever she goes and often leaving more questions than answers. She also has a skill and insight into the true nature of those around her, something that drew her closer to Allen when many others would have turned away at his cold, prickly demeanor. She has a tendency to try and heal the wounded but she still is left uncertain in how to do the same for her own daughter.



Background



Not much is known about Mina's past but what is clear about her is the family she was once a member of. Those within this clan were known to possess both strong ties to the emperor and rare celestial magic. In fact, Sylthari was known to interact with this clan directly, using them as a tool to resupply the imperial family with her divine blood. However, they refer to her as Amaterasu, a figure of their own mythology. Mina was one of many maidens from this clan to serve as a concubine for the late emperor and undoubtedly carries the blood of their goddess. She appears to be a powerful celestial mage, witnessed utilizing celestial magic of varying kinds and has passed a rare celestial form to her daughter (whether Tia realizes the significance or not).



Failures



Ever since the night she left and Tia followed after her, Mina has been burdened with guilt and regret. She hadn't intended for Tia to follow her and had been careful to slip away without being pursued by any of the soldiers escorting them—unfortunately Tia hadn't been so careful. Mina has told Allen that the reason for leaving Tia behind was a curse she is under, one that takes control of her when she is in danger. Yet it is still unclear what the truth is or why she departed that night at all. What is clear is Mina's overwhelming guilt and that she blames herself entirely for Tia becoming a shape shifter. She is plotting something but cannot seem to face her daughter, sending letters instead.




Motivation




Mina is plotting something with Supay the Huntsman, an old friend, to try and aid Tia from afar and has begun collaborating with her husband to this end. Allen is doing all he can to trust in his wife, Mina unable to divulge a number of details per Supay's request. He and Supay are begrudgingly working together to buy her time and help Allen grow closer to the king. Yet Mina's activities remain a mystery.



Social



It isn't clear how but Supay the Huntsman seems an old friend of Mina's, a mystery to all bit the pair of them. Supay is also clearly enamoured with Mina but she has eyes only for Allen, making it clear to his aggravation. But neither let this dynamic get in the way of their plotting. Mina instead seems to treat him like an irksome little brother, the two of them polar opposites in many ways.



Family



Allen Minx is her husband and is a doting, devoted spouse even as they've been separated. This is primarily because of how their relationship started and how it changed him. Allen arrived at the archipelago trying to escape his old life and his many traumas. He was a bitter, prickly and seemingly lifeless husk of a man. What Allen will always be grateful to her for was her ability to disarm and pick apart all of his defenses and walls, feeling she breathed life into him when he was a "dead man walking" as he would put it. Her gentle, insightful nature was everything he needed to begin healing, Mina giving him the gentle place he needed to discover himself. And she fell hard for Allen's own charm and the kind, wounded man hiding underneath his defenses. She enjoyed giving him the life and family he craved and both Allen and Mina were blown away by and enamoured with their bright little snowdrop, Tia. Their wild little toddler was everything both of them wanted, only making their current situation all the more painful.
