Appearance

Asuka is a girl of average height with long indigo straight-cut hair that she wears down with a red headband, blue eyes, a slender figure and large breasts, just like most of the female characters in the series.

Her attire consists of the Suzaku High uniform. 

Personality

Not much is known about Mikoto, but according to Ryu Yamada, she is "that girl I always see with the president", indicating that her relationship with Haruma Yamazaki is close. She seems to be protective of the president, if not more as she politely warns Nene Odagiri not to include him in her circle of friends if not she would have to intervene. Beneath that layer of pleasantness, Mikoto seems to be hiding her slyness and cautiousness. She is also capable of giving a malicious aura to anyone who tries to defy her goal, as well as mocking those she deems unworthy. While normally a cool and aloof person, Mikoto can show a moment of fear and anger as seen from her reaction to Shinichi Tamaki's confidence in his intention. She is also capable of giving sympathy to others, shown when she wanted to help Ryu find a way to remove Maria Sarushima's ability.

She was described as beautiful, smart, athletic and influential, and was considered to be quite popular and well-known among most students. However she did not want this and would rather be a normal student.

She is shown to be quite sadistic as seen when she tortures Ryu due to her falling for his charm power. And later before leaving Suzaku High School for college, she brought out a whip.

History

During Mikoto's first year, due to her natural born beauty and being the daughter of the president of a famous company, she quickly became the topic of conversation. Added with her excellent grades and unmatched motor skills, she attracted the attention of all the students in school. However she felt pain from this, as she wanted to be an ordinary student.

During her second year, Mikoto was previous secretary of the previous president of the Student Council.

Mikoto was later gathered by the previous president along with five "smartest" female students in the school for an unknown ceremony. The ceremony made her a witch with the power of Invisibility.

By November, she was chosen by Haruma Yamazaki to be his secretary. With this she felt like she could be an ordinary student. Around this time, she had the Witch Killer Shinichi Tamaki take away her power for an unknown reason.
