mikoto was an artificial being presumably created from iceman's dna. initially called by her experiment number, 3510, she was named mikoto by iceman. she and iceman were allowed to escape from the laboratory by a sympathetic researcher and had a child together. they were later recaptured and she, having given birth to a child, was dissected by scientists for research purposes. she is eventually reincarnated as eruru. the word mikoto can also be written as 命, which can also be pronounced as 'inochi', meaning 'life'.
