Mimihime

Mimihime (ミミヒメ) is a supporting character in the Heavenly Delusion (anime) series.

Character Profile
Mimihime is one of the children living in a world inside the walls. She secretly believes that there is an outside world beyond the wall. She's very upfront and blunt about otherwise sensitive topics.

Appearance
Mimihime possesses two large furry ears which are the same color as her hair. She has two big bushy eyebrows and a perpetually bored expression on her face.

She has a fear of blades and other pointy things.

Takahara Academy
Mimihime, like all other students in Takahara Academy, was raised in a controlled environment. The series starts off with her staring at the domed ceiling of the facility, pondering about an outside world. She's interrupted by Tokio, who asks her what exactly she's doing. She brushes it off and tells Tokio about the upcoming test, which had never been mentioned prior by any of the proctors.

She's eventually approached by Shiro who asks her about a peculiar photo she had "sent" him the day prior. Unaware of it, she asks him to elaborate. Shiro goes on a tangent of terribly conveyed emotions and urges he feels toward her, though he doesn't really get through to her.

Mimihime will continue to have visions of the future. These are extremely important to the foreshadowing of the story. One of these premonitions involve Maru and Kiruko, another one she sees herself in a cave, alone and scared. Suddenly a light appears and she sees Shiro. Confused, Tokio asks why she is so happy, and she replies that she doesn't know why. Mimihime wasn't cognizant that this was a vision of her and Shiro's own death.

Extradition
With Japan now aware of Takahara's Heaven and their involvement with the dooming of the entire world, they retaliate with a bombing and breach the facility. Taka and Shiro notice a gaping hole to the outside. Curious, Anzu, Taka, Shiro, and Mimihime venture out to the real world, and are left stunned by the uncomfortable terrain and temperature. The four of them agree to split, thinking of the circumstances as a test.

While moving through the woods, the ground collapses beneath Mimihime and she falls from the ledge. Shiro panics and dives after her and takes the impact, protecting her from further harm. Completely baffled, she yells at him for risking his life for her, causing Shiro to confess to her. When he stops talking, she gives him one of her Takahara pins.

Later, Aoshima finds the the pair on a road and uses this chance to take the four kids with the intent of completely extraditing them from the facility. They are then integrated into society, learning all kinds of new things.

Illness
Years after the cataclysm, Mimihime begins to develop spots as her core has started the process of killing her. She and Shiro immigrate to a large building that would later become the Immortal Order, though it wasn't named by Shiro. Shiro realizes that there is no way to reverse this "disease," and instead uses his knowledge of machinery to extend her life as far as possible.

In conjunction to this period; Ohma, who had split off from Michika to look for Mimihime, finally reunites with her. However, this brief moment of happiness is quickly swept away, as Ohma also has "the spots." Sometime later she dies within the garage of the building, and morphs into her full Hiruko form. Shiro, with no way to kill it, locks her now reanimated corpse in the garage, where it enters a near-death states to preserve its hunger.

Fate
After an unknown amount of time, Maru and Kiruko make contact with Mimihime; now in her mutilated state. Shiro asks Maru if he is able to kill Mimihime, to which Maru replies he can; though requests that she give her consent. Mimihime asks to see the sky one last time, and they wheel her out to the balcony. She smiles, finally accepting her fate. Before Maru had crushed her core, she left one final message for Shiro, now Dr. Usami.

Hiruko Child
