Miaka

Miaka is a normal (and perpetually hungry) 15 year old girl trying to pass her high school entrance exams. Visiting the library with her best friend Yui, she sees a red bird flying down a hall. She follows the bird and ends up in a rare books room where Yui joins her. There they find a book entitled Four Gods of Heaven and Earth. Yui starts to read the book which tells of the legend of the Suzaku no Miko (Priestess of the Suzaku) and how she gained amazing powers. It says further that the book is an incantation and anyone who finishes reading it will also gain those powers. As Yui and Miaka wonder what the book means, they are absorbed in a flash of red light that emanates from the book and pulled back to Ancient China... Miaka is the heroine of our fair story, and the lucky lady who gains all those gorgeous guys dedicated to protecting only her. (I figured it was about time I added more to the Miaka's Page so..) Miaka is an unlikely hero at first, being immature, gluttonus, naive, and extremely trusting. Of course, these are also her strengths (except the gluttonus). Miaka's job as Miko requires a pure body and a strong will, the pure body is not a problem (as long as she and Tamahome keep their hands off eachother) and the strong will is earned through the hardships Miaka must endure in gathering the seishi and calling Suzaku. Personally, I like Miaka. I think alot of people cut her down way too out of hand and don't really see the good, trusting, loving, giving, self-sacrificing person that she is (or becomes).
