Nakazawa Miteki 中沢 未笛

25 years old | born November 14 | 179 cm / 5'10" ft | AB blood type

Daughter of a disgraced samurai noble (subject to change lol)

Has a twin brother Sadayuki, older than him by nine minutes

Skilled in martial arts, particularly kenjutsu; taught by her father

Somewhat of a prodigy, has a crazy amount of physical strength

Constantly honing her skills through practice and combat; believes the strong have a duty to protect the weak

Travelled to Edo and joined the Roushigumi with her brother four years ago

Because they weren’t accepting women, pretended to be a man in order to join; goes by the name Mitake

Cut her hair Mulan-style and binds her chest to “sell” the fib

(Sadayuki later told her that she didn’t have to, people already used to think she was a man when they met her; he shut his mouth immediately when she unsheathed her sword)

Currently a spy working for the Shinsengumi, is a master of disguise

Capable of blending in anywhere, disguising herself as anyone or anything... except a woman, no one buys it for a second

(Shinpachi is the only one who can see through her disguises)

(“It's just a wig/beard/hairy mole/eyepatch/etcetera!” he insists, yet everyone else falls it for every time)

At the start of Gintama, was still passing herself off as a man; there's probably an episode or short arc where her secret is revealed

In love with Hijikata (unrequited, of course), believed by others to be hero-worship when she's still known as Mitake

Okita likely noticed early on and thought she was gay, though

(Which she is, just not the way Okita thought; bisexual rights)

Has insisted since a teenager that she’ll only marry a man who can fight her in a duel for her hand and win

(“But, Micchan... no man is even interested in you...” Sadayuki would awkwardly murmur, before dodging her sword strike with a shriek)

(After he leaves the Roushigumi, and it’s revealed she’s a woman, Okita happily takes on the task of reminding her; he’s much better at parrying her blows)

Loves konpeito, usually has a bag tucked away on her person
