Mitsurugi, Meiya

御剣冥夜

In Muv-Luv Extra, Meiya is the sole heiress of the Mitsurugi Group, one of the largest and wealthiest corporations on Earth. One day, Takeru wakes up to find her in his bed, and she declares that they are meant to be together.
She is a staunch adherent to the Bushido code, and her sheltered upbringing occasionally places her in difficult situations. She has access to unlimited resources and overprotective attendants who attempt to help her win Takeru's affection.
In Muv-Luv Unlimited, Meiya is one of Takeru's fellow cadets in the trainee squad. She is by far the most talented in melee combat, particularly with weapons such as knives and swords. However, certain questions arise regarding her, such as why a Type-00R Takemikazuchi sits in the hangar as a gift from the Japanese Shogunate, or why a detachment of the Japanese Imperial Royal Guard watches over her.
Despite coming from a very different background than in Extra, and being more worldly and wise as a result, Meiya's core personality remains much the same. Incredibly righteous and noble, she often experiences conflicting feelings about her duty as a soldier and her duty to the Japanese people.
In Muv-Luv Alternative, Meiya is roughly the same person as she is in Unlimited. However, her personal history and personality are fleshed out and developed further in the altered version of events. She plays a more prominent role in Alternative.
