Miyabi (雅緋) is a playable character from the Senran Kagura video game series. She makes her debut in Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus.

She is a third-year student at Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy and the leader of its 'prestigious' Elite Class. After a catastrophic accident with a Forbidden Ninja Art three years prior during a mission, Miyabi fell into a vegetive state and lost most of her memories.

She was hospitalized ever since and lived an empty existence, but witnessing Hebijo's destruction made her come back to reality. She now stands again and leads the school's reconstruction effort, fending off rivals with her seven-pronged sword and her black flame as she seeks to restore both Hebijo's honor and her own.

Profile[]

Appearance[]

Normal[]

Miyabi is a girl of a lightly tanned complexion, though not nearly to the extent of Homura. Her hair causes many to claim that she looks like a handsome man, a trait which is even more greatly exemplified by her lack of femininity, much to her chagrin.

Miyabi has short, somewhat scruffy yet clean white hair pixie cut style. She has the usual morphology of most characters. Miyabi wears Café Noir (Black Coffee) colored cape with white markings at the top left while the cape is over a white and yellow, high collared coat with black linings held by a double strap with a buckle logo of some sort of a snake, a burgundy sash and two small brown leather straps crisscrossed at the bottom front. The coat exposes a large amount of her breasts. A portion of her thighs and bottom are exposed as well, revealing that Miyabi wear yellow panties, dark grey thigh-highs stockings socks and white boots with Café Noir top lining adorned with black straps. Miyabi also wears a black choker and a silver necklace. Her left arm is covered by white bandages and black leather straps.

Abyssal Mode[]

In this mode, Miyabi sprouts six wings that are black and white. Her hair becomes black with a white streak at the front and her eyes turn red. There is also an unknown symbol tattooed to her face.

Personality[]

YoungMiyabi

Miyabi is defined by her hard working and extremely prideful nature. She is extremely confident in her own abilities and her power is nearly unrivaled within Hebijo. She always carriers a serious demeanor with her, very rarely ever genuinely smiling outside of a confident smirk.

Her demeanor is shown to be quite manly which, in relation to her more boyish appearance, only further adds to the issue of people hardly seeing her as a girl, which irks her greatly.

Despite her no-nonsense attitude, Miyabi is a deeply caring person at heart. She values her friends, especially Imu, and over time learns to open up more towards the people she cares about.

Background[]

Miyabi came from a prestigious family of evil ninja, as did Imu, her childhood friend. When the two were younger, they always dreamed of what it would be like as ninja, going as far as to play a game called "Ninja." However, one day, Imu had an idea; They should play Ninja, but for real.

One fateful night, the two girls would gather their fathers' weapons before sneaking off to the woods, a place where they had been warned not to go several times by their parents. Shortly into their "game," however, the children were attacked by a Yōma. Before the beast could attack the girls, Miyabi's mother stepped in, but she, though she was a Shinobi, stood no chance against the Yōma, and had her head brutally crushed by the beast right before her daughter's eyes. This sight would scar young Miyabi for life. As she stood, awaiting death by the hands of the Yōma, her father would then step in and quickly finish the demon.

Her father was the principal of an Evil Ninja school known as Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy, a school in which Miyabi would enter, and quickly reach the elite level, alongside Imu years later. She and Imu would soon take part in a mission, along with several other ninja and one Kagura. The mission involved combat with a group of Good Shinobi. This battle, however, would be interrupted by Yōma. In a fit of vengeance-triggered rage, Miyabi would use a Forbidden Ninja Art, Blood Riot. This technique involved gathering power from the blood spilled within the Shinobi Barrier, but it provided a significant risk to the user if they lost control. Of course, Miyabi did lose control, and she had no memory of what happened afterwards, except for the fact that she and Imu were the only survivors.

Since that night, Imu retired from shinobi life and worked as Miyabi's caretaker. Miyabi herself remained unresponsive for the next three years, unaware of everything around her, until one fateful day...

Story[]

Shinovi Versus[]

“You think this is all a game, with rules and fairness and happy endings. You have no idea what a shinobi truly is.”
—Miyabi.

Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy[]

A handicapped Miyabi hears the voice of Imu, her best friend. It seemed that Miyabi had been suffering from memory loss, but one word continuously repeats in her mind, and that word is, "Hebijo." As she wonders about this, Imu, who was also hospitalized after the mission, speaks to her, however, Miyabi didn't seem to pay much attention.

Soon, however, their peace is interrupted as the sight of Hebijo burning in the distance catches their sight, as does the demon, Orochi. As soon as the sight was seen, the demon disappears, and all that is left is a burning school. Miyabi, who had been in a wheelchair since the incident that took her memories, would finally stand (though with minimal struggling, since her muscles had atrophied due to not being used), much to Imu's surprise.

The two girls would rush to the scene, only to be met with rubble and a pile of corpses, with Orochi nowhere to be seen. With this, and the little memory of that fateful mission, Miyabi decided that she would retrieve the honor lost by the school.

Gessen Girls' Academy[]

Hanzō National Academy[]

Miyabi, alongside the other Neo-Hebijo girls debut in the third chapter of the Hanzō story. While Imu goes on to fight Katsuragi, Miyabi decides to fight Asuka. Her, along with Ryobi and Ryona fight Asuka in a three-on-one battle. Asuka's complaint that the fight wasn't fair hits a nerve with Miyabi, where she decides to kill Asuka to teach her a lesson, when she was initially going to spare her. Before Miyabi can kill her however, Homura and the Crimson Squad appear to assist the Hanzō girls, and afterwards, the Hebijo girls leave.

Later in the story, Homura returns to Asuka to inform her on how the Crimson Squad's fight with the Hebijo girls went. Upon hearing about Homura's success, Asuka suggests they all go to the hot springs in celebration. Finally, she states that they should invite the Gessen and Hebijo students as well.

Homura's Crimson Squad[]

Shinobi Girl's Heart[]

Miyabi is growing rather annoyed with girls constantly fawning over her no matter how strict or short she is with them. No one takes her seriously and she believes it's getting out of control. The girls even go as far as to stalk her all day. She tries to figure what about her has them so enthralled since Miyabi believes she's rather boring and as much of a girl as they are. Having no idea what to do about her situation, she unwillingly decides to go out and ask for advice.

Miyabi pays a visit to Asuka first. Asuka is surprised to see that Miyabi needs advice but asks her what the problem is. Miyabi then asks Asuka what she thinks of her. Asuka says it's a hard question but suddenly comments on how Miyabi reminds her of someone in the same grade as her at school. Miyabi inquires as to who it is and Asuka begins to explain that he's really popular and has a whole fan club, but says Miyabi is much cooler and stronger than him. Miyabi immediately gets angry at the fact that Asuka is comparing her to some playboy, only to realize that she lost her composure.

Miyabi visits Murakumo next to ask for advice, but Murakumo is too shaken up due to her not having her mask. Miyabi promises it'll be quick, and asks Murakumo what she thinks of her. Murakumo says Miyabi is a like a main character from a comic book -- cool, beautiful, and everything Murakumo doesn't have. Miyabi asks if this comic is for boys to which Murakumo responds affirmatively and says Miyabi can have the comic. Miyabi takes a look at the comic and becomes highly interested in it as she reads. Murakumo explains the hero is weak but becomes strong after transforming. Miyabi gets upset saying she's strong without transforming and she's not a boy to begin with. She then questions just how masculine she is.

Ikaruga tells Miyabi that her outfit is showing excessive cleavage. Miyabi comments on how Ikaruga lets Katsuragi get away with showing excessive cleavage all the time. Ikaruga says it's because Katsuragi never listened no matter how many times she warned her, so she gave up. Miyabi states that Ikaruga should get used to people not listening to her, then, because she's not changing for anyone. Ikaruga buttons Miyabi's shirt up and says that Miyabi could look like a perfect gentleman. Miyabi feels like it's hard to move around in her altered apparel, and asks Ikaruga if that's her style. Ikaruga says that she's not sure about that since Miyabi is a lady. This causes Miyabi to retort with her saying that she doesn't need to look like a gentleman, then. Ikaruga quickly says Miyabi looks like a beautiful gentleman and begins looking at Miyabi in a way that makes her uncomfortable. She then decides to take her leave.

Shiki tells Miyabi that all her friends love her and want Shiki to hook them up with her. Miyabi asks why Shiki's friends can't come to her directly, to which Shiki replies they can't because that's not how it works with girls. Miyabi says that she's a girl too, but Shiki says she's like some ice-cool smokin' hot guy and girls can't talk to someone like her. With that said, Shiki tells her than she's going to block out time for Miyabi and another girl without even asking for Miyabi's approval. Shiki says the girl is going to be really excited, and Miyabi might even like her. Getting angry now, Miyabi exclaims yet again that she is a girl and wonders why no one understands her.

Miyabi bumps into Imu and tells her that she's having the problem of people not seeing her as a woman. Imu asks where her concerns are coming from, and Miyabi explains that Shiki tried to hook her up with a female friend of hers without even caring that she refused. Imu states that it sounds like a blind date. Miyabi asks why they can't simply ask other people directly and believes it's possible she'll never truly be a girl if she can't understand the concept. Imu says that Miyabi is falling into Shiki's trap and can't go. Miyabi thinks she should go and meet the girl to ask why she can't talk to her. Imu says again that Miyabi can't go and that she should just be herself, wanting to make her understand. Miyabi thinks about all the various things people said she reminds them of and wonders what it'll take for people to see her as a girl.

Imu says that Miyabi looks a manga action hero, all strong and tough and handsome -- so much that she's going to make her swoon. She believes it's the perfect look for her and loves it when she dresses manly. Miyabi can tell just how passionate Imu is, and knows she shouldn't feel bad when people say they like her, but she says again that she is not a man. After yelling this for all to hear, she runs away.

As she runs through the streets, Katsuragi stops her and Miyabi decides to ask her for advice, believing she may be the best person. When Miyabi explains the problem, Katsuragi laughs out loud ad says Miyabi should just dress like a girl. Miyabi agrees with this logic, since if she looked like a girl, no one would treat her as a man.

Katsuragi hands Miyabi an outfit she just bought on sale, asking her if she wants to try it on. Miyabi uses a Shinobi Transformation to change her clothes. While they are quite feminine, they make her a bit uncomfortable. But she believes if she is to put an end to everyone thinking she's a man, she'll have to adapt.

Imu comes trotting along not too long after, and Miyabi takes this as her chance to strike her most feminine pose in front of her, asking what she thinks and if she should dress like this from now on. Imu's shocked reaction pleases Miyabi, now thinking her transformation worked and she can finally be free from her constant irritation. However the next moment Imu collapses with blood jetting out of her nose saying she loves it just as much and calling it breathtaking, thus continuing Miyabi's ordeal.

Estival Versus[]

Shinobi Girl's Heart[]

Miyabi often hears strangers saying she's a "hunk". It bothers her because she's a woman but she's starting to think she might as well embrace it. There's no meaning in hating something that you can't change, and maybe she could come to enjoy it instead. She decides she's going to get people to call her a "hunk".

"Call me a hunk. Right now. I'm waiting."-Miyabi

Miyabi's first encounter is on Mt Orochi with the renegade Homura. So far nobody has called Miyabi a handsome man, which she thinks is strange. She spots Homura and greets her. Homura tells her to go away because she's in the middle of training. Miyabi says what she wants won't take long, and asks Homura how she looks. Homura says she's visible and asks if that's enough. It isn't enough for Miyabi, who demands more detail. Homura says she's in the way. Miyabi tries to nudge her into calling her something beginning with "H". Homura replies with "Hurry up and leave". A battle begins which Miyabi wins. After she wonders if it was a mistake to try asking Homura.

"Someone call me a hunk! Don't be shy! Say it!"-Miyabi

Miyabi's next fight is against her two junior teammates, Ryōna and Ryōbi, on the grounds of their school Hebijo Academy. Ryōbi is scolding Ryōna for not properly cleaning up her things. Ryōna asks what things she means. Ryōbi replies that the candles, whips and other kinky items of torture must belong to Ryōna. Ryōna apologizes, saying they felt so good she must have passed out while 'using' them. Miyabi interrupts to say she has a big announcement. Ryōna excitedly asks if it's going to be about a 100-day Slap Ryōna program. Miyabi says that in fact it's that she's accepted being called a 'hunk'. Ryōbi is nonplussed by this. Miyabi grandly tells them they can now call her a 'hunk' all they want. Ryōbi says it's not like they were holding it back before. Miyabi gets flustered by this and demands they say it to her. Ryōna chips in with a demand to be called a sow. There is a battle and Miyabi is the victor. Sounding a little hurt and rejected, Miyabi says she was only asking them to call her a 'hunk'.

"As soon as I embrace my hunkitude, all others refuse to see it"-Miyabi

Miyabi finds Yagyū on the roof of Hanzō Academy. Yagyū asks Miyabi what's up. Miyabi just grunts a terse reply and Yagyū says Miyabi seems discouraged somehow. Miyabi says that others have always called her a 'hunk' in the past, but now, just as she embraces it, they've stopped. Yagyū says she can't help with that. Miyabi asks her why not and Yagyū says she never thought of Miyabi as a hunk. Miyabi is taken aback by this. Yagyū says there's surely someone somewhere who thinks of Miyabi that way. Miyabi demands to know who, but Yagyū has no idea. Miyabi wins the ensuing fight but doesn't get the answer she's looking for.

"I am a hunk, Imu! Acknowledge that! Repeatedly!"-Miyabi

Miyabi comes across Yumi and the two Hebijo sisters Murasaki and Imu in the Sensōji temple grounds. Imu greets her, saying it's rare for Miyabi to leave her room. Murasaki says she senses something dangerous approaching and that she wants to go home. The danger proves to be a deranged Miyabi babbling over and over about being called a hunk. Miyabi declares that she knows she's handsome. This is met with some confusion, but Miyabi says that they can all call her a hunk freely from now on. In fact, she insists on it. Imu says she can't call Miyabi that, hesitantly admitting it's because she values her as a woman. Miyabi says she didn't ask anything about that, much to Imu's dismay. Another fight follows. Miyabi wins and mopes about not being able to get what she wants.

"Why isn't this going my way?! I AM a hunk, right?!"-Miyabi

Finally, Miyabi meets Renka at the Festival Grounds. Miyabi is moping and Renka tells her to stop because she hates that kind of girly behavior. Miyabi says she just wants to be called a 'hunk' but nobody will do it. Renka says that there's no way it'll happen because she's become a mild curry with no kick. Miyabi doesn't understand and Renka explains that it means Miyabi used to act in a confident manly way, and it was this that gave her her 'hunk' appeal. Renka generously offers to beat some high spirits into Miyabi. The two battle, Miyabi wins the duel.

Miyabi EV SGH
The duel between Miyabi and Renka left them both beaten up but Miyabi is full of pride. Renka tells her she has a good face and a hunk's spirit. They shake hands and admire each other's hunkiness. Miyabi has come to understand that trying to be a hunk just takes you farther from the true spirit of being a hunk. Hunkiness comes from the contrast of a girly appearance bearing the wounds of battle. To this end she decides she's going to grow her hair long with an instantaneous hair-growth potion from Haruka. With long glorious hair there will be even more contrast with a battered post-battle body, and Miyabi will truly become a hunk.

Dual Shinobi Hearts[]

A Heated Battle[]

After conversing their problems to each other, both Miyabi and Homura team up and show Renka and Hanabi their combined strengths of evil.

Dialogue[]

Homura: "*sigh*..."

Miyabi: "What's wrong, Homura?"

Homura: "Well, lately, a lot of the time, I've been feeling like I'm the only one who gives a sh*t."

Miyabi: "...Are you feeling that way right now?"

Homura: "Yeah, and what if I am?! This is serious!"

Miyabi: "It doesn't take much to stir your passions, does it?"

Homura: "Oh, right... Sorry."

Miyabi: "No, there's no need to worry about it. All we have to do is look ahead and keep moving forward as usual."

Homura: ""We"?"

Miyabi: "Well, there's...something on my mind as well."

Homura: "You too? What's that?"

Miyabi: "...My speech is far too flowery."

Homura: "Oh, so you know that."

Miyabi: "Wha--?! So it's true!"

Miyabi: "I had feared that everyone thought so, but now I know for certain! Ah, I should have curbed my poeticism long ago! Now it's too late! Such humiliation!"

Homura: "Whoa, c'mon. Chill out. You just said it yourself..."

Homura: ""All we have to do is look ahead and keep moving forward as usual"! So don't worry so much about what other people think!"

Miyabi: "Of course. Y-you're right."

Homura: "So, "as usual," what do you say we go a round?"

Miyabi: ""As usual"..."

Homura: "No fear, Miyabi! All we've got to do is go on charging down our Paths of the Shinobi!"

Miyabi: "..."

Miyabi: "To endure the indifference of the masses...to strive for the power of passion...to grasp the sword of revolution!"

Homura: "Miyabi! You get me!"

Miyabi: "Indeed! Your words were as a kiss from a bright, thorned rose, which drew the blood from my lips and let it flow to my heart!"

Homura: "That's it, Miyabi! You're setting my soul on fire!"

Miyabi: "Burn through, anima brucia, and lift this fallen angel's wings upon your rising heat!"

Homura: "There may be those who point and laugh at us, we who steer our lives by the light of our fiery urges..."

Miyabi: "...But I care not for them! One day, a new generation will look back upon us with awe and respect! So for now, let us go on forward!"

Miyabi: "Let us venture forth, Homura! Fate itself is in our hands!"


"No one wants a frozen past!" -Miyabi
"I want to set tomorrow on fire!" -Homura

Beginning of Mission:

Homura: "I burn hotter than magma and twice as intensely! That's me!"

Miyabi: "Wrapped within the sheath of darkness, the world is a blade called peace."

Renka: "...Wh-what's wrong with those two? Are all the other shinobi around here like this?"

Hanabi: "I like how Homura's so impulsive! Can I go do what she's doing?"

Renka: "Bein' impulsive makes sense 'round a festival , but Homura's a little bit...different."

Homura: "Different? Different how?! Brawls are like the flowers of festivals! We're alike in that way! You could call us sworn siblings!"

Renka: "See, this's the bad kind of "impulsive.""

Miyabi: "Then touch my heart's cold flame, and let it sear you a scar named regret."

Renka: "Yeesh! Do you ALWAYS talk like that?"

Homura: "Pretty much."

Miyabi: "What a foolish question."

Hanabi: "That's so cool! I wanna talk like her!"

Renka: "N-no, don't!"

Hanabi: ""What a foolish question..." How's that?! How's that?!"

Miyabi: "Not bad. Your tongue is a gift, like a diamond."

Hanabi: "All right!"

Renka: "Put a sock in it already!"


Hanabi: "OOOHHH! That whole speech got me right here!"

Homura: "Hanabi, you're no longer our enemy. You're one of us."

Miyabi: That's right. I would go so far as to proclaim that we share the selfsame soul."

Hanabi: "Aww, I'm so, SO honored! Eee, so happy!"

Renka: "Hey! Snap out of it, Hanabi!"

Miyabi: "Kindly put your happiness aside for now. We face a dreadful enemy ahead, one without form or substance."

Homura: "...We're up against the public eye, an enemy much stronger than any giant yōma. Knowing that, Hanabi, can you still commit?"

Hanabi: "Of course! I don't care what others think of me!"

Homura: "Miyabi. Looks like the fire from our souls is already spreading out."

Miyabi: "Indeed. "No life, no shinobi." That is the only way to melt this frozen world."

Hanabi: ""No life, no shinobi"!"

Renka: "Hanabi!"

Miyabi: "One day, you will come to understand, Renka. You will see that only the noble path remains."

Homura: "If you want to live passionately, come ask us anytime. Our doors will always be open. I'll introduce you to some intense part-time jobs."

Renka: "..."

Homura: "Now, off to the next battlefield! Our struggle is just getting started!"

Miyabi: "Yeah!"

Hanabi: "Hip, hip, hooray!"

Renka: "Whatever. They're just foolin' around. They're probably harmless. Hanabi'll be fine with 'em."

Paradise Episodes[]

Ghost Hunt[]

Miyabi just finishes telling Yumi, Asuka and Homura a ghost story with their eyes wide open. Something she should’ve expected much, there are some things that are too much to accept even for elite leaders. But for this mission she needed their cooperation, no matter what. So, she had to convince them to believe her. She then tells them again she saw a ghost. It was on the outskirts of the island she saw the ghost of a bloody woman floating in mid-air. The further she went into detail the paler their faces grew. She then tells them she needed their assistance to exterminate the ghost. Homura refused to mess with ghosts. She even questions why Miyabi needed to exterminate it. Ghosts just like to hang around and be ghosts just let them be. Yumi tries to calm her down she understood how she felt but if there is a ghost on the loose, they can’t turn a blind eye. Asuka agrees with Yumi she even says what good is shinobi who are afraid of ghosts. Homura makes a retort as Asuka and tries to leave. Only for Asuka and Yumi to stop her. Miyabi tells them she appreciates their commitment. She then shouts out to the ghost that it won’t know fear until it faced shinobi.

They search the shinobi estate first during the search Yumi hears a crack. Asuka thinks it’s the rapping sound ghosts are supposed to make when they show up. Homura couldn’t hear it. Yumi notices a scent that smells raw. Homura begins freaking out thinking the ghost was there. Yagyū suddenly arrives asking what all the commotion was. Homura asks her if she was the ghost. She tells her she was just broiling cuttlefish. Miyabi then realizes that was the cracking sound. Yagyū asks if she wanted some which Miyabi declines. Miyabi then decides to check elsewhere for the ghost.

As they continue their search Homura screams out pointing to a floating face. The others take notice and Murakumo arrives apologizing to them as it was her mask that she was drying out in the sun. Miyabi realizes it was just Murakumo’s mask to which Homura says she knew it was that all along. Asuka dismisses her words as they all heard her screaming. Homura tells her they were all nervous so it was a draw. Asuka confusingly asks if they were having a match. Miyabi sees there were no ghosts in the area.

Sometime later Homura asks Miyabi why she wants to beat the ghost so badly. Miyabi tells her to become a true leader she must conquer fear. Something Homura agrees with. She then tells her that it was nice having someone to talk about with that sort of thing. Miyabi agrees pointing out they were both evil shinobi, Homura feels a chill. When questioned by Miyabi, Homura tells her she can feel eyes on them. Full of hate. Miyabi calls out to the ghost. They could hear a voice saying vengeance and Homura. Homura screams asking what she did. The voice tells her she wanted to take her place next to Miyabi. Homura realizes it was just Imu. Miyabi apologizes to her and tells her to pay no mind. Miyabi realizes something was wrong, the ghost was nowhere to be found.

Homura comments that the ghost knows how to hide as they couldn’t find it. Yumi questions where could it be hiding. Miyabi began to think it was her imagination but dismisses it because she knew what she saw. They heard a scream whom Miyabi identifies as Kafuru who approaches them telling them of a ghost. Miyabi asks if she was sure. Kafuru says it was floating in midair with its face drenched in blood. Now having confirmation that her ghost was real Miyabi tells the others there was no time to lose. Miyabi says to herself that she will defeat her ghost.

They arrive to where Kafuru saw the ghost. Miyabi tells the others to stay alert as she could sense another presence. Homura tells Asuka to snap out of it and to not be a wuss. Asuka tells her she can’t walk if she was stuck to her. Homura tells her to cut it out and not to step away from her they were destined rivals she wouldn’t let her disappear. Yumi tells them both to silence themselves or the ghost would escape. Something Homura was fine with. Yumi then sees something nearby. Miyabi knowing it must be the ghost they had no choice but to go. They corner the ghost.

Ghist Hunting-dbsm8bu
Miyabi sees the ghost gliding through the darkness like a shadow. Homura and Asuka scream out each other’s names and grab onto each other shaking in fear. Yumi also in fear begins holding her head and repeats a buddhist chant. Miyabi seeing as how she was on her own shouts out to the ghost to prepare itself, draws out her sword and charges into the darkness. It then shouts out for her to stop and the way she says Miyabi’s name was “Me-a-bee” The second she hears this Miyabi stops knowing there was literally only one person on earth, heaven or hell who would ever call her that. Miyabi asks the ghost if it was Shiki. Turns out Shiki was just practicing for a Halloween party and got too into it and got carried away. She even wipes the fake blood on her face with a towel. Miyabi questions Shiki why would she practice for her Halloween party here of all places. Shiki tells her that a lot’s been going on so she thought it might help her get used to foreign culture. She then stops speaking and bows her head to them repeatedly in apology. Miyabi knowing she was the one who started all this as she failed to recognize Shiki because she was completely engulfed in fear. Miyabi apologizes to everyone for the fact that her fear took control of her. She thinks to herself that all this could have been avoided if her mind and will had been stronger. She tells them all she would embark on a fear to conquer her fear. By going on a pilgrimage all around the world to each of the most haunted places and proceeds to ask who’d join her. Everyone flees at full sprint Miyabi calls out to them saying they should conquer ghosts together.

Gameplay[]

Main Articles: Miyabi/Shinovi Versus  · Miyabi/Estival Versus  · Miyabi/Peach Beach Splash

Miyabi is a Piercer (T2) when she is in her "Normal Mode", as she pierces easily her enemies' defenses, and has a ranged heavy attack. She is moderately fast but strong enough to deal with most characters without many problems, including ("normal") Ryōki. Her main Ninja Arts are the Piercer's classic setup: a frontal attack as a weak Ninja Art, a neighbor-area attack as a strong Ninja Art.

When Miyabi enters her "Abyssal Mode", she becomes a power-type shinobi who can break through the defenses of even the most stalwart enemies with her seven-branched sword (held in her right hand) and her left fist, which is wreathed in black flames. The flames envelop foes and continue to damage them. She become quasi-invulnerable to suppression, making Ryōki's attacks, a character specialized in suppressive strikes, quite ineffective.

"Miyabi uses her seven-pronged sword, her high-powered left fist and her black wing. Her stats are above average, but her defense is severely lacking. One hit from an opponent's Secret Ninja Art, and a big chunk of her health will go missing. Deal quick strikes and go into Aerial Raves. Purgatorio of Good and Evil is an effective Secret Ninja Art, as it attacks everything within her vicinity. Paradiso of the Abyss puts her into "black wing" mode, which extends her range significantly." -Estival Versus: Miyabi's Battle Card

Prologue
Miyabi was on the run from a crowd chasing after her. She dove into an alleyway to evade her pursuers. She could still hear the bloodthirsty girls closing in. She hid behind a nearby trash can thinking they wouldn't find her. Her pursuers were the I Heart Miyabi Militia which basically was her fan club. She begins to question why it had to be this way, she was a girl there should be no denying that. She also mentions it should be said that these days it's not uncommon for girls to be in love with other girls. As far as she was concerned everyone was different, and if the other person agreed to it, then there shouldn't be a problem. Love between two girls didn't bother her. However, being mobbed by other girls was a completely different thing. But regardless of her feelings her fan club was growing in number every day. She had to do something about it as at the rate it was going she'd be in serious trouble. The Militia's constant prowling turned her daily routine into a chaotic nightmare. She began to suspect it had to do with the fact that she looked like a boy. It is here she notices a flyer next to her foot. It was for the Super Dish Gourmet Cook-Off which also mentions a super secret ninja art scroll that supposedly could grant any wish. The next thing she remembers was walking to the cook-off venue. There was only one thought in her head at this moment. To use the power of the scroll to become a cute girl, and never again would she suffer from being chased. She then says it was time to say goodbye to her boyish good looks.

First Round Her first opponent was Yozakura who comments about how she was up against Miyabi first. Miyabi asks her why. Yozakura responds with "W-why what?". Miyabi asks her why was she so feminine, it really irked her. Yozakura asks her how as she supposed to answer that, she never even thought of that. Miyabi goes on about Yozakura's shameless outfit, it was so feminine she was going to have to take notes. Yozakura tells Miyabi she was quite the lady herself. Miyabi hearing this was flustered and began stuttering as she asked her if she thought so. Yozakura tells her it was the way she worked on her diction*. Miyabi then questions her what part of her was feminine. Yozakura thinks about it for a moment before saying it was her bust. Miyabi pardons herself as she shouldn't be fishing for compliments. She then decides it didn't matter and says for the battle to begin. And so the first round of the cook-off begins with Miyabi emerging the victor. After the round Miyabi questions how she could possibly be more feminine she couldn't grasp it, it was too difficult for her. Yozakura tells her, she had her own kind of charm and to forget about it. Miyabi thanks Yozakura having enjoyed the conversation. Yozakura was silent and Miyabi asks her what was wrong. Yozakura tells her it was nothing and unfortunately for Miyabi says to her that she understood how the people who chase after her felt and tells her she was so cool. Miyabi realizing what's happening with Yozakura decides to leave.

  • Diction: the choice and use of words or phrases in speech or writing.

Fourth Round She approaches Yumi and questions her about what femininity was to her and asks her to tell her. Yumi tells her femininity was cuteness of speech. Miyabi says to her "Cuteness, you say." Yumi responds with her baby talk by saying "Indeed. Cuteneth." Miyabi imitates Yumi's talk by saying. "...So, wike this?" Yumi tells her not to underestimate the road to cuteness, as it couldn't be mastered in a day. Miyabi comments about how it sounded challenging. Yumi goes on about how the amount of training she endured, she was finally able to enter the path of cuteness. Miyabi says to her she may not be suited for that path herself. Which left her no choice but to get the scroll. She then apologizes to Yumi as for the battle she cannot and will not hold back. Yumi responds that neither would she. And so the next round begins with Miyabi winning. After the round Miyabi comments about how she was one step closer to the scroll. Yumi talks about how obtaining femininity from a scroll did not sound like the Miyabi she knew and how the real Miyabi would use her power to achieve femininity. Miyabi tells her she was aware of that but now, for her, there was no other way. She thanks Yumi for being a wonderful listener. Yumi was silent leading to Miyabi questioning her. And once again like Yozakura, Yumi also becomes smitten with Miyabi's charm and tells her she was so divine just now. Miyabi immediately runs off.

Final Round Her final opponent was Imu. Realizing this Miyabi comments about how she hopes they have a good match. Imu then tells her she wasn't Imu confusing Miyabi. Not Imu tells her the person standing before her wasn't Imu but rather she was the captain of the I Heart Miyabi Militia and in the name of the Militia she refused to allow Miyabi to go through with her plans with the scroll. Miyabi realizes Imu was the ringleader. Imu goes on about how she wasn't going to let Miyabi change, she wanted the Miyabi she knew. She goes on about how there was no need to become more feminine, and Imu didn't want to see her like that. Miyabi tells her she won't let anyone stop her from becoming more feminine not even Imu, she was going to change no matter what. Imu realizing that nothing she could say would get Miyabi to stop her plans tells her, she left her no choice. She was going to stop her by force. Miyabi dares her to try it. And so Imu's plan to stop Miyabi ends in failure as Miyabi goes on to win the final round of the cook-off.

Epilogue Having won the tournament Miyabi comments how there was nobody left to stand in her way. Imu pleads with her to stop and to stay the way she was, she didn't need to change. Miyabi apologizes to her and thanks her for thinking of her. But she wanted to become more feminine she will become a girl. Imu can only scream no as Miyabi activates the wishing scroll and tells it to make her more feminine at the top of her lungs. She could hear Imu's cries behind her but at this point nobody could stop her. She was going to change into something more elegant, a cuter self. Someone who would be treated like a girl. The scroll glowed bright red as it bathed her in light. Miyabi felt like she was reborn. She comments about the "new her" and immediately noticed her voice and feelings were more feminine. She achieved the body and heart of a real woman. She felt so amazing it was a wonderful feeling. When she listened she could hear birds chirping, she looked into the trees and saw a squirrel smiling. There were so many beautiful scenes she never noticed before, for the first time in her life she felt very tranquil. Although it did pain her when she recalled how she hurt Imu's feelings. But she brushed it off as she had no desire to change back, not that she finally got a taste of the beautiful world. Meanwhile behind her Imu's face had tears running and her nose was gushing out blood at the sight of the new Miyabi. She was lamenting how Miyabi was so girly now but this new Miyabi was so nice. Miyabi took notice of Imu and was very surprised to see everything resolved so well. She began to think that being feminine made problem-solving easier. She then giggles before shouting out "Girls rule!"
