However, the fact that he doesn't bully her has lead her to become incredibly attached to her, even sleeping on him at points. Mikan has some kind of affection towards Hajime that is likely romantic in nature, although this affection does not interfere with her relationship with none of the characters. However, Nagito still expresses some concern about Mikan, mainly due to her exaggerated falls and her perceived bullying. The two had a fluctuating relationship of hating each other that resulted from the killing game, especially from Nagito due to her actions in Chapter 3. Nagito was impressed by Mikan's talent from the beginning, although he didn't pay very much attention to her. As she became more and more skilled in this area, she took an interest in nursing, realizing that she could have a feeling of control over sick and injured people ー as the weaker people, they would have to depend on her completely and their lives would be in her hands.
She feared loneliness and lack of attention more than the abuse and let people do whatever they wanted with her.īecause there was no one to take care of her wounds, Mikan learned to take care of herself from a very young age. In addition, she didn't have any friends.Īs a result, Mikan became an extremely timid person who thought that it's better to be treated badly than completely ignored. The bullies would beat her up, cut her hair, draw on her, use her as a target for dart games, make her responsible for their debts, and tell her to eat bugs and make interpretations of certain animals. Among other things, she mentioned being splashed with water, smeared with mud, and getting burned with cigarettes. She was physically, emotionally, and possibly sexually abused by people in her family and in other places, like school. She also has a scar on her abdomen from some of the actions that she took as a member of Ultimate Despair, although these are actions that she would prefer not to remember. She also wears white shoes, white ankle socks, and bandages around her left arm and right leg. Her apron is tied around both her neck and her hips. Mikan wears a nurse's uniform that consists of a pale pink shirt with white trim, a pale blue pleated skirt, and a white apron with a red stripe on it. Her eyes are greyish-purple, and she has a beauty mark under the corner of her left eye. Her hair is cut this way as a result of bullying, although she continues to keep it this way out of habit. Mikan is a young woman with long, very choppy purple hair that reaches the middle of her thighs at its longest, and is almost to her shoulders at shortest.
