Mizoshio (溝塩) is a character in the Aozora's Adventure series.

Background

Mizishio is a sukeban (delinquent girl) residing in an alternate dimension styled after Japan in the late 1700’s. Unlike Ms. Missile’s dimension that embraces and revolves around modern technology while paying tribute to times long gone, Mizoshio’s world remains stuck in the past. Advancements in tech and the availability of such having almost no impact on her lifestyle and the world around her outside of improving living conditions.

Mizoshio leads a gang of college-age delinquents in a private school consisting of three men and eight women including herself. They all wear highly stylized banchō getups crossed with traditional Japanese attire. Mizoshio keeps a watchful eye on her students while teaching them Japanese sword fighting techniques, offering them a place to stay in exchange for their well-kept behavior. Despite labeling themselves delinquents, Mizoshio and her gang only use the term to describe their appearance and living style and don’t desire to be in the wrong themselves- they instead scout out and attack rival gangs and criminals that are infamous or known to cause trouble or commit crimes on a regular basis, using cheap tricks and tactics to get the advantage if they must.

Mizoshio’s left arm was replaced with a large mechanical hand after it got critically injured during an espionage at an enemy school with a high criminal record. As a right-handed person, she was hardly impacted by the accident despite it being the closest she has ever been to escaping death- and likely would not have made it out alive with the help of her students. Because of Mizoshio’s history as a fighter, the model she chose to have applied onto her body was an arm normally used by several prototype battle robots and cyborgs in the area retrofitted with a human’s hand modeled in black material before being applied onto Mizoshio’s body.

It took Mizoshio several months to adjust to using the robotic gauntlet, and some of those months were spent resting and recovering from the surgery. During this time, she stayed in the school while her ten students shifted between standing guard at the school’s grounds, running classes themselves, keeping Mizoshio safe, or heading out to get supplies and defend local areas targeted by criminals. When she returned, she donned a new signature look and took back her role as the school’s teacher as if she never went on break.

Personality

Mizoshio is a courageous and respectful lady with a motherly side from teaching and leading her students. She watches over them with both eyes and will do everything she can to both train them and keep them safe. However, she is easy to anger and not the type to take drama lightly, and she will give anyone, including her students, a mouthful if they mess up or cause her or someone important to her trouble, threatening them with her weapons to make a point.

Her relationships with the delinquents she took under the wing vary from their willingness to follow Mizoshio’s commands. She sees her best students as friends first and classmates second, while the ones that dose off and receive the blunt of Mizoshio’s frustration are viewed as the inverse unless they behave and follow orders. She rewards everyone equally and when they deserve it, but she is more than contempt to give someone that doesn’t follow her urgent orders discipline.

Powers and Abilities

Mizoshio’s fighting style is similar to a samurai’s but with several self-taught techniques she came up with on her own due to disagreements form her original sensei. She can fight with the sword grasped in both hands alike a traditional samurai, but also use a number of skills that involve drawing and slicing with the sword using only her right arm. The sword’s sheath is grasped in her left arm facing out behind her, serving as blunt weapon to quickly jab or sweep anyone that gets too close to her form the back.

Mizoshio’s reflexes and senses are strong, letting Mizoshio react to danger and quickly dodge and retaliate in the blink of an eye, even towards attacks she otherwise would not see coming. On the contrary, she is familiar with tricks to move around while making minimal noise, patiently sneaking and waiting for an opportune time to strike. One of her signature skills is giving orders to her classmates and allies with hand gestures, silently issuing commands for everyone to follow without uttering a word. Every one of her students has a separate hand gesture, as do common commands including “Wait.”, “Approach silently”, “Fall back”, and “Prepare to strike.”

Mizoshio’s left arm is a bionic mecha arm plated in a metallic brown color. It is attached to her lower arm and is locked into place with a twist lock mechanism. Inside the base of the arm is a chain link cable and two pressure points that build up with air. By quickly unlocking the hand from the base and initiating both pressure points, Mizoshio can launch the mechanical hand about 8 feet forwards for a ranged attack before slingshotting it back towards the socket and re-locking it into position. If kept out, the arm can be swung around as a blunt weapon for surprise hits or in a circular motion around Mizoshio to clear out a field of attackers.
