Despite the fact that she's younger, Mina has always been the more outgoing one. Always the social butterfly, she hates being alone for long periods of time. Mina loves going to parties and hanging out with her friends. When it comes to school work, her and her sister are pretty much opposites. Aki excels at Potions, while Mina is very weak in them. On the flip side, Mina is excellent at Charms and always ends up helping Aki with her homework. Even though they may be a bit different, Mina is fiercely protective of her sister and always will be. "Hell hath no fury like a twin scorned." She says.<br/><br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Mina wasn't always the younger twin. She was the middle sister of a set of triplets. The two had a younger sister, Yoshiko. But being the youngest of triplets, she had a difficult time both in the womb and once she was born. Her growth was stunted, and a few of her internal organs hadn't developed properly. Yoshiko's lungs were poor, and she had to use an inhaler almost every day. Especially after playing too much.<br/><br/>Not only that, but her parents were quite strict on the triplets. Mina never really followed the rules they set down. While Aki never said much about it, Yoshi would often ask her to listen to their parents so all three of them wouldn't get in trouble just because Mina would act out. Mina would always shrug it off and do whatever she pleased.<br/><br/>One summer day, at the request of their father, the girls were cleaning out the pool in their backyard. Mina protested, stating that it was too hot to do outside work. But their father insisted, and shooed them out of the house. While working, Yoshi started having a bit of trouble breathing. Mina and Aki sat her down and rushed inside to get her inhaler.<br/><br/>While they were looking around, their father began yelling at them and asking why they were in the house. The girls tried to explain that Yoshi needed her inhaler, but their father continued to talk over them. Mina finally screamed back at her father that they were trying to help Yoshi. Their father replied by smacking her cheek and sending them back out. Luckily, Aki had managed to find the inhaler.<br/><br/>Back outside, Mina and Aki were terrified to find that Yoshi had fallen in the pool. Mina jumped in the pool and Aki ran inside to get their parents. Mina managed to pull Yoshi to the surface, and their parents rushed outside and pulled her out of the pool. They called an ambulance and preformed CPR while they waited for the paramedics. But it wasn't enough, and Yoshi had passed away. She was only 9 years old. Since then, Mina has blamed her father for her sister's death. Not long after, the family moved to France. Their parents claimed it was "for a fresh start".<br/><br/>When the twins got into high school, their powers began to manifest. The resident "cool clique" had decided they were their new targets. Day after day, the same old teasing and torment grated on the sisters. During lunch one day, they reached their breaking point. The two girls stood their group against the clique. There was a fight, and somewhere in the midst of it all Aki fell to the floor. Mina, being fiercely protective of her big sister, stepped in front of the kids to shield her.<br/><br/>That's when things got weird. Mina let out an ear piercing scream, yelling at them to stop. An overhead light came crashing down, and trays of food flew off the table and hit the group of kids. Mina looked down at her sister, and saw her screaming as well. She grabbed Aki's hand and pulled her up off the floor. None of the kids really knew what happened. Some said it must have been an earthquake. But from that day on, nobody dared to tease them again.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong>Her twin sister, Aki-chan<br/>Mother, Kotone (Squib)<br/>Father, Hideki (Muggle)<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Charms, creating spells, spontaneity, parties, hanging out with friends<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Being bored, studying too long, bullies/people picking on her sister<br/><strong>Fears:</strong>Losing her sister, dying<br/><strong>Favorite Animal(s):</strong>Cats, rabbits, horses<br/><strong>Favorite Color(s):</strong>Blue, pink, silver<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Persephone325</strong></span><br/><br/>D.A.D.A.<br/>H.O.M.<br/>Ancient Runes<br/>Astronomy<br/>Potions<br/>Charms<br/>Arithmancy</div>
