### Backstory
---
Around a year before the events of Summer Leagues, Mio Mifune was an ordinary university student working towards a degree in a relatively profitable business related major- To her, an obligation she despised. With no particular talent nor connections in her real passion, movies, it seemed to be the only way forward... This would change abruptly, but not for the better.
Following a week long period of high fever and splitting headaches, the girl would wake up with a sense she couldn't quite explain- A sense that, by focusing her intention, she could find herself falling through a tunnel of light to another place of her choosing. And as she felt, reality would bend to make it so!
Now this newfound ability was baffling, but the junky for fiction Mio is, she recognized quickly what could be possible with this power... And the consequences of potentially being a unique case of psychic abnormality.
From there her spite for both her life until this point and a confounding new problem converged into a new passion. Mio would stop attending her classes, and largely retreat into solitude to focus on developing her newfound ability and other particular skills. From now on, there was to be a singular goal:
*Mio would become a serial killer in the fashion of slasher films she adored.*
Needless to say, a year later and this has not gone as planned for Mio. Despite learning more about her unusual abilities, she has yet to claim a single life. Worse yet, her attempts to even test the waters for gaining some kind of infamy have been overshadowed by the emergence of another urban legend local to her prefecture; a mysterious cult called 'The Process'.
With so little to show for her commitment, Mio enters Summer Leagues in a desperate bid to learn and become the killer she's meant to be.
### Personality
---
Under typical circumstances, Mio comes across timid and a bit overly polite towards strangers. Although part of this is a natural coyness which became worse over the course of her solitude, she also feels conflicted in getting to know people personally given her nefarious intentions. The result is a difficult to shake nervous awkwardness on first blush.
Regarding those nefarious intentions- Mio has deliberately cultivated a strongly cynical, misanthropic attitude towards others and towards herself. Largely this has been kept internal, making quiet judgements over any and all flaws she can find, even petty, trivial, or unavoidable traits.
However when she becomes comfortable past the point of the nervous demeanor, her internal cynicism is directed into a cruel sense of humor more befitting of the character she wants to be. One can expect intentionally erratic behavior and callous mocking.
She will also more easily find the confidence for cruelty when hiding behind her mask and when speaking to known opponents.
It's worth noting that this attitude, while fueled by very sincere spite, is also an act she keeps up to stave off her doubt and sentimentality. She's sincerely afraid of coming to like people again and losing her resolve.
