Gender: Female

God Parent: Iris, Ariadne, Athena

Mortal Parent: Hawazana Hiro (Hiro is given name)

Appearance: See picture. Model is Shiori Kutsuna.

Personality: Mita is outgoing and straight-shooting. She is enthusiastic and excitable, A slightly blunt, straight-forward risk-taker, she is willing to plunge right into things and get her hands dirty. She lives in the here-and-now, and places little importance on introspection or theory. She trusts the facts of a situation, and quickly decides what should be done, executes the action, and moves on to the next thing.

Mita has an uncanny ability to perceive people's attitudes and motivations. She picks up on little cues which go completely unnoticed by most others, such as facial expressions and stance. She's typically a couple of steps ahead of the person she's interacting with. Rules and laws are seen as guidelines for behavior, rather than mandates. If she has decided that something needs to be done, then her "do it and get on with it" attitude takes precedence over the rules. However, she has her own strong belief in what's right and what's wrong, and will doggedly stick to her principles. Her integrity mandates that they will not under any circumstances do something which they feel to be wrong.

Mita makes things up as she goes along, rather than following a plan. She loves to have fun, and is fun to be around. She makes decisions based on facts and logic. Mita is impatient with theory, and sees little use for it. She does not trust her instincts, and is suspicious of other people's intuition as well.

She gets bored with things that feels she can't gain useful materials which can be used to get things done. School is a difficult chore for her. Mita is a practical, observant, fun-loving, spontaneous risk-taker with an excellent ability to quickly improvise an innovative solution to a problem.

History: Mita's father was a brilliant man. He got his degree at a Tokyo college and after he got a job as a lawyer at a law firm

Working in Japan is a difficult task. The hours are long and stressful. At the end of the work week, co-workers often go out and have drinking parties or such. On a fateful night, Hiro went out with his co-workers to a bar. In any case, it got absolutely smashed. He meet a beautiful young lady at the party. Unknowing that she was a goddess, and began to flirt with her. She called herself Toru. She was charmed by his good looks and smarts, and they ended up spending the night together.

When Hiro woke up the next morning, he had a terrible hand over and no Toru. He was little disappointed, and even looked around his office for her. When he couldn't find her, he dismissed it as a one-night stand.

Ironically, he met another woman at one of these parties a few weeks later. Her name was Arisa Sato, from Hokkaido. They dated for quite awhile before she moved in. They grew extremely close and he proposed to her.

One afternoon on their day off (They worked together in the same office, though since she was getting married she had already put in her notice) a baby girl arrived on their doorstep. She had a mop of black hair and sparkling eyes, wrapped up tenderly in a warm blanket. There was a typed note pinned to the blanket that read "Her name is Mita."

Arisa was automatically drawn to her, and despite Hiro's protests, made the choice to keep the baby. Hiro, however, wasn't happy about keeping a child that wasn't his, despite the fact Mita was really his. He put a wall between himself and Mita that lasted until the day he died.

Arisa was very attached to Mita, her "storked baby' as she so often called her. Arisa and Hiro got married, and Mita attended the wedding in her best baby garb. Arisa quit her job and became a housewife, taking care of Mita and doing housework. Arisa got pregnant with another child when Mita was three years old, but early into her second trimester she was driving to the store on a rainy afternoon when she got into a car wreck. Arisa was bleeding internally and miscarried.

Both Arisa and Hiro were extremely torn up over this. The amount of damage Arisa's ovaries took was extensive, and it was determined that she would never be able to have kids. Mita was too young to understand what was going on, but this made her determined to make her mother and father smile again.

It didn't work on her father. The thought of having no child of his own changed something in him. His wife was no useless, in fact, why had she been driving that day? She should have been more careful. And Mita... the only child in his house who wasn't his. She could never be his child. His anger and grief kept building up and he took it out on his favorite punching bags, Mita and Arisa.

This went on for years in the type of secrecy that it only can. There was an excuse for each and bruise and cut. Mita attended public school, but also attended another an eikaiwa type. It is basically a English conversational school. In her classes she took from age about seven, she learned English. Despite the abuse she took from her father, she kept a positive outlook on life. Every bad thing had a good thing. A shoe print on her back meant a school afternoon with her friends. Every slap to the face was greeted with a snowy dawn as the white dots speckled the lawn. Insults were replaced with laughter, the blows with smiles. It was normal life for her.

Mita kept up this happy-go-lucky personality for most of her life. Arisa's sister knew exactly what was going on, though. She tried to convince Arisa to leave with Mita, before one or both of them got seriously hurt. Arisa kept making excuses until Mita was in seventh grade. One stormy night Hiro, drunk and pissed, burned Mita's entire left hand on a hot iron. Arisa decided to leave then and there. She patched up Mita the best she could, waited for Hiro to pass out, packed their things and left.

Thy arrived at her sister's doorstep. Her sister gladly offered them up a room to share. Arisa took Mita to the local hospital to get treated, stating that it was an accident and Mita had been trying to learn to use the iron and burnt herself not paying attention. The hospital staff were weary of this, until Mita gave them a story about failing Home Ec. in school. She was treated, but to this day Mita still has a hard time feeling anything with her left hand, and tends not to use it.

So at the start of her eighth year, Arisa and her father were divorced, and Arisa got custody of Mita, and life went on. Mita joined the school's math team and won some national competitions. She made a few close friends. While she wasn't popular, she wasn't by herself either.

She met a boy who moved from America and they became fast friends. He called himself Adrian. Little did she know he was a satyr, sent from camp to bring her safely to Camp.
