CHARACTER
» Name: Minatsuki Takami
» Fandom: Deadman Wonderland
» Reference:
Wikipedia» Canon Point: Chapter 9, before the fight with Ganta
» Gender: Female
» Age: 17
» Orientation:Despite Deadman Wonderland being a series that doesn't emphasize romance and despite the fact that Mina's character is rather contradictory, there is one aspect that is quite clear. Mina is expressed as rather heterosexual, if sadistically so. She shows interest not so much in the man she is pursuing but the chance that she can see him horrified or hurt. She finds pleasure in seeing people suffer, especially Ganta and her brother, leading the reader to believe that Minatsuki is heterosexual.
» Personality:Minatsuki's personality is one of contradiction. When the reader and the main character of the series first meets Minatsuki, one is lead to believe she is a sweet, shy, and caring individual.
Her room is filled with flowers that she has been tending ever since arriving in Deadman Wonderland. When upset, tears form in her eyes and at several points she has to be saved by Ganta, the main character. Each time she is saved, she blushes as if she is embarrassed but pleased that Ganta cares for her. Even as they sit and become acquainted, she talks to Ganta about her brother and her past. About how she was nearly raped by her father and how her brother protected her. She pleads to Ganta and soon the main character is willing to do anything to protect her or keep her from fighting.
This personality, however, is a facade. One that she uses to lure others into a false sense of security. As soon as Ganta and Mina go for a walk through the halls of Deadman Wonderland, Mina uses her shyness and her "weakness" to make Ganta believe that the sudden collapse of pipes from above was an accident and not one she caused to purposely hurt him. Here, it's only hinted that she is responsible. But later, when we see her in the Carnival Corpse, a death match between Deadmen (or individuals able to use their blood as weapons), she reveals that she had playing the entire time, using Ganta's "virgin white knight thing" against him and that she found it "fucking disgusting". From here, Mina shows nothing but a cruel and sadistic side, one seeking to bring utter ruin and suffering upon Ganta. Why? Because she wants to get off on it.
Even when her brother arrives to protect her, she continues to display this cruel side to Ganta. The sweet and innocent side reappears if only in front of Mina's brother, Yoh. But Yoh soon realizes the truth. That all along the person that had killed their father had been Mina (Yoh had believed he was responsible) and that she had been lying for so long.
She explains the reason for her lies and for her choices is due to the lies she had been told and because humans are disgusting, hypocritical creatures with filthy hearts. And what she hates more than people who lie and show it on their faces is people who lie and put up smiles. To Mina, there isn't a single person in the world worth trusting.
After this, Mina becomes vicious, angry, like a cat trapped in a corner. She lashes out at Ganta using her "whip wig" branch of sin (or the ability to use her hair and blood as a weapon) to injure him while using her brother as a human shield.
Ganta refuses to fight against her in a way that would damage both of his "friends" and soon finds a way to knock Mina out, but not without confusing Mina. He says that even if he's being used, he still considers Yoh to be his friend. And he tells Mina that if she doesn't trust anyone, lies and hurts others, the only person she's hurting is herself. With this leaving Mina surprised, Ganta headbutts her and knocks her out, effectively winning the fight.
After all is said and done, Ganta continues to prove his trustworthiness to Mina, something that continues to confuse and befuddle her. She explains it as an "XXX worthless feeling", but gradually, she begins to open up more and more. She drops the sweet and innocent facade around her new friend, but still gains pleasure from harming others. It's a slow change, but with time, Minatsuki begins to be more open around others.
» Appearance:Mina is rather short and petite for her age, something she uses against others in order to lead them into believing she is weak and gentle. Her hair is long, past her shoulders, and often tied into braids.
Mina's clothing is also delicate, in hues of pinks and purples. Often, it is lacy or dainty, much like her body. Her ears are pierced, an important detail, because she usually rips out the earrings in order to activate her branch of sin.
» Suitability:Despite being only seventeen years old, Minatsuki is mentally mature for her age. Able to deal with things such as death, sex, and other aspects of life that can be difficult for seventeen year olds, Minatsuki experiences or deals with these topics every day. She even kills when she needs to and tells others that she wants nothing more than to make someone suffer for her sexual pleasure. This, while demonstrating her possible mental disability, also shows that she is capable of coping with the setting of Amat.

» "amatomnes" Entry:[ The video clicks on to show a scared and frightened young girl. She's using a sheet to cover herself up and there are tears in her eyes. ]
P-Please... could someone... help me?
[ She gives the camera a shy and pleading look. ]
This is the most XXX bullshit place ever. Someone better fucking help me and it better not be some shithead pervert either.
» "amatomneslogs" Entry:It was the distinct lack of flowers in her room; the usual smell of primroses, fresh soil, and fertilizer that told Minatsuki she was no longer in her cell in Deadman Wonderland. As she opened her eyes, she bolted upright, hastily looking around as she tried to figure out her location. "What the fuck?" she murmured, brown eyes narrowing. It definitely wasn't Deadman Wonderland. And there was yet another thing Mina noticed: A stickiness between her thighs.
"That was a seriously a XXX fucked up dream," she snorted, assuming it had been a dream that led to her current state. But part of her speculated it might've been something else. A kidnapping? But who would kidnap a prisoner much less one that could rip flesh from bone with just a flip of her hair? The idea of ripping Ganta's skin off formed in Mina's mind and she shuddered with pleasure. But it didn't make the slightly unsettling feeling that she'd been taken advantage of fade.
"Some shithead fucker..." she started, but before she could continue, the door opened to reveal a maid. Immediately, Mina pulled up the sheets to cover her bare chest, a shy and pleading look forming on her features.
"U-Um..." she questioned the maid, making sure she looked as innocent and lost as possible. "Excuse me. D-do you know where I am? I'm sorry. Because I'm so terrible, I've gotten lost..."
There was no reply and as Mina continued to wait for one, she became more irritated. Forcing the feelings of irritation down, she watched the maid silently tidy up before leaving. What a cunt faced bitch, Mina couldn't help but think at the maid's retreating back.
Realizing she was alone and with nobody to prey on, Mina scowled and pushed herself out of bed. "Fucking bullshit! This is the most XXX worthless thing ever!" With her usually pretty features set in an ugly and angry expression, Mina found her clothing and began to dress. As she slipped on her shirt, she realized the new band around her throat.
"What the fuck?" she muttered again, trying to tug off the collar. When it didn't budge, she gave up. But in her mind, she was already plotting. Some fucker XXX shithead better help me get this piece of shit off. Or I'm going to rip his eyes out and cum in his sockets!
With that thought, she gathered as much things as she could find--clothes, items that might sell at a pawn shop, and the bouquet of flowers on the bedside table--and headed towards the door. First thing she would do would be to find someone to fuck with. Then, she'd find a way back to Deadman Wonderland.
