Ai Miye

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Ai Miye led a group of thirteen homeless youths who survived in a concealed cave near House Town. Having endured hunger, winter, and the deaths of other children, she became deeply suspicious of adults—especially those who appeared kind—because she had witnessed human traffickers lure children aboard ships and imprison them in cages. 23 24

Her unusual intuition repeatedly kept the group alive. She sensed Jabus approaching before his attacks and, later, recognized Hawkins as a far more terrifying presence. When Hawkins neared the group’s refuge, Ai Miye attempted to lure him away alone so the other children could hide. 23

Although she initially feared Hawkins intended to sell the children, she concluded that he had no need to deceive people he could defeat effortlessly. His decision to wait for her judgment, rather than force the group’s surrender, earned her cautious trust; she ordered Arthur and the others to lower their weapons and accepted Hawkins’s offer of shelter aboard the Black Knife. 24

Ai Miye’s intuition originated in an inherited Curse Caster bloodline. When her anxiety peaked aboard the Black Knife, dormant power erupted as black energy and pulled both her and Hawkins into a trial ground connected to the Dream Realm. A red bead from her ancestor’s corpse triggered her Bloodline Inheritance and revealed the existence of an ancestral legacy. 25 26

Her ancestor’s spirit later possessed her body and impersonated her while attempting to secure the Devil’s Horn. Hawkins destroyed the relic, then used the evolved Eternal Sea Chart to devour the spirit still hidden within Ai Miye, freeing her from possession. 27

Afterward, Ai Miye awoke in Eternal Space, where Hawkins had recreated and restored House Town as a safer home. She remained there while Hawkins investigated the outside world, later helping welcome the resurrected Asmodeus and joining Hawkins’s contract-based family group. 28 29

As Hawkins’s group expanded, Ai Miye formed a close friendship with Anna. She accompanied Anna during the latter’s return to her home island, reassured her after the revelation of her witch bloodline, and recognized Anna’s practical difficulties adapting to life outside the island. 77 78

Ai Miye later became an established player and public figure in Infinite City. Alongside Qiao Si, she helped organize players responding to emergencies, while her role managing mission archives made her familiar to anyone who completed city missions. 276

Her immense spiritual power eventually became a source of danger as well as strength. Anna entered Ai Miye’s dream in search of dream creatures and found that Ai Miye’s subconscious had manifested as a gigantic, uncontrollable version of herself. The dream later generated a hostile false Hawkins from Ai Miye’s memories and belief in her captain, forcing Ai Miye, Anna, and the real Hawkins to confront the threat within her mind. 288 290 291 292

Personality

Ai Miye is protective, decisive, and willing to risk herself for the children under her care. Her instinctive response to danger is to place herself between a threat and the group, even when she is frightened and believes she may die. 23

Her distrust is rooted in hardship rather than hostility. She questions Hawkins’s motives repeatedly, worries that her decision could endanger the other children, and remains alert to the possibility of exploitation. Once convinced of his sincerity, however, she commits firmly to her choice and reassures the others that they are safe with him. 24 25

She is compassionate and emotionally supportive toward Asmodeus, encouraging him after his repeated deaths while scouting the Dream Realm. She also displays a practical self-awareness: despite initially having little interest in combat training or mathematics, she later develops into a capable mage and defender without losing her preference for choosing her own role. 31 50 753

Ai Miye is sociable, teasing, and emotionally expressive around people she trusts. She readily comforts Anna, pesters Mr. White Rabbit because she finds him adorable, and uses familiar banter to ease tension with companions such as Mark. 78 270 288

She becomes increasingly pragmatic with experience. During the conflict surrounding the Looting Emperor, she judges that allowing demoralized enemy reinforcements to retreat is more efficient than pursuing a costly annihilation, prioritizing the larger objective over immediate rewards. 287
