Yae Miko

Birthday: June 27.
Favorite dish: fried tofu (abura-age), signature dish - udon "Fukuuchi".
Connections to folklore: Her image is inspired by the Shinto shrine maiden (miko) and the deity Inari, and her "Sakura sessho" totems reference legends of spirits that shrine maidens can summon for assistance.

Yae Miko founded Yae Publishing House to promote novels. She personally participates in the selection of manuscripts, often demonstrating a keen understanding of literature. For example, she might reject a manuscript simply because the author chose an overly "common" pen name, suggesting a more expressive alternative.

Involvement in the Inazuma storyline. Yae Miko played a crucial role in organizing resistance to the God's Eye Decree. She helped the Traveler reach Raiden Ei and, together, convinced the Archon to listen to the wishes of the Inazuma residents rather than seek eternal isolation.
The Legendary Quest "Divine Kitsune." This quest reveals her connection to other yokai (supernatural beings) and her deep knowledge of them.

Yae Miko has soft purple eyes and lilac hair that fades from light at the crown to a more pinkish hue at the tips. She has visible fox-like ears, and her outfit features a traditional priestess outfit with pink and purple hues and gold accents.

Yae Miko's personality is multifaceted and enigmatic. Behind her elegant and beautiful exterior lies a keen mind, cunning, and playful guile. She's not afraid to defy convention and operates by her own rules.
Her character is often described as a "trickster"—the archetype of the rogue and mischief-maker from mythology, balancing between animal and human, between the worlds of gods and men. She can be a serious and wise priestess, and the next moment, carefree and mischievous, but always remains herself. No one can fully understand her true nature, for her appearances are like shards of a mirror, each reflecting only a part of her essence.

Yae Miko is the high priestess (Guji) of the Narukami Grand Shrine in Inazuma. She is also the editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House, which publishes light novels. She is a divine kitsune of the Hakushin clan. She is over 500 years old and has five tails—in Japanese mythology, the number of tails a kitsune has increases with age.
As the familiar and closest companion of Electro Archon Raiden Ei, Yae Miko has served as her trusted advisor and companion for centuries. Their bond is incredibly strong: they call each other by their first names without honorifics, a sign of deep intimacy in Japanese culture.
