Job/occupation: Mika is in her last year of High School, the last month or so actually. She’s really not certain what she wants to do with her life, although she’s strongly leaning toward taking up music as a career. However, she has recently been wondering if she might should take up a career in the government like her mother. There is just so much going on that she wants to help with and yet she can’t.

Loyalty: Neo-Queen Serenity

Security clearance: none

Personality: Mika has a bright personality and a love of life. She is friendly to a fault and will even chatter on about different things to a complete stranger. She also has a love of being outside and can often be found walking around outside, just enjoying herself.

Mika has an adventurous spirit and doesn't like to be confined for very long. She would much rather be outside then stuck in a building somewhere. Although she likes to learn new things, she has a short attention span preferring instead to go outside and play then to sit in a room and study.

The one thing that can get her to settle down and stay still is her love of music. She shares this passion with both her deceased grandmother and her father. It was her father that has taught her to play the piano, but it was her grandmother that taught her to sing and encouraged her to put her heart and soul into her music.

She believes in trusting someone until they prove untrustworthy and she also believes in making people smile. If she sees a child crying or a person that is down for some reason, Mika will do whatever she can to bring a smile to their face.

However, if Mika believes that someone is doing something wrong such as mistreating an animal, then she doesn't hesitate to let them know what she thinks. She won't soften her words either, she'll tell a person exactly what she thinks of them, even when it’s a person that is older then her. Oddly enough, she can also be very sensitive when it comes to how people act toward her. If they are mean she can be very quick to feel hurt and start crying.

One thing that Mika has learned to hate is not being able to do a thing while her best friend fights to protect the world. It bothers her greatly to have to stand back and watch Hotaru go in to danger while she hides somewhere. This especially bothers her because she has always been the kind of person to leap right in and try to right whatever wrong she happens to see. Although she knows that she couldn't handle the things that Hotaru fights against, it still bothers her to be able to do nothing.

Family:
Father: Saitou Otoya
Mother: Saitou Honomi

History: Mika was born the only daughter to Otoya and Honomi Saitou. The first ten years of her life was spent in a small apartment in Kyoto with her mother, father, and her father’s mother. Mika loved all of her family, but she shared a special bond with her grandmother. Otoya and Honomi were both busy with their jobs during the day and so Mika was often left in the care of Shihori, her grandmother.

Mika was a happy little girl that adored her life. She did the best she could in school and while she didn’t get perfect grades she never disappointed her parents. From the time she was old enough to learn her father and grandmother both introduced her to music and taught her how to play the piano and to sing. However, on her tenth birthday everything changed.

Her grandmother suddenly collapsed while listening to one of the newest songs that Mika had learned to play. Shihori was taken immediately to the hospital, but it was too late to save her. The doctors said that she had suffered a massive heart attack. Mika was devastated for a long while. She missed her beloved grandmother terribly and for the next couple of years she ceased being the friendly outgoing girl she usually was. Mika stopped playing with her friends and even stopped playing her music.

When Neo Queen Serenity began her new government, Mika’s mother was offered the job of a lifetime. This was a job that was too good to be passed over and so Mika and her parents moved to Tokyo. They now live in an apartment not that far from where the palace is. Otoya taught music at Mika’s school and Honomi began to work as one of Neo Queen Serenity’s aides. With the move, Mika finally began to get over her grief. She once more started to become the friendly and outgoing girl she was meant to be. She even began playing the piano and to sing once more.

Soon after that Mika met and became friends with Tomoe Hotaru. At first Mika idolized the other girl because she was one of the famous senshi, however it soon became more. She values Hotaru as one of the best friends she could ever have.

Mika and her family haven't personally been affected by any of the troubles that have been occurring in the world, at least by the deaths. Like anyone they've felt the terror that some of these events have caused, though both of her parents stayed strong through it all. With the help of her parents and knowing that her best friend Hotaru along with the other senshi were taking care of things, Mika has weathered through everything just fine.

The one thing she hates more then anything however is watching Hotaru fight and being unable to do anything. Recently she has been hating having to hide while her friend goes into danger. More then anything she just wants to help, but she's powerless to do anything.

Powers: Mika is an ordinary girl with no powers at all.

Past life (yes/no/where): Nope, this is the only lifetime that Mika has lived.
