Dual Souls: The Last Bearer/Mirei (Assassin)

Kore wa sadame, waruku omou na.

Story

"Mirei is the twin sister of Kanae, being the last two members of the noble Ozawa family.

When Mirei was a small child, her family, as well as the residents of her village, were killed by assassins. Mirei was then kidnapped and raised by these assassins, who influenced her to believe her parents were disloyal to the Emperor. She believed that this clan of assassins were serving the Emperor, who aimed to bring peace and unification to her homeland. During her ruthless training, Mirei heard voices in her head, talking about justice, aiding others in need and protecting the weak. This voice was what drove her to survive the training, where she would have otherwise failed due to the overwhelming loneliness she felt, missing the love of her family.

One day the voices in her head spoke: "A person of unbelievable power is about to arrive. Follow him, and obtain the power we desire to uphold our justice, to protect those that are good."

The man arrived, calmly stepping through a rift in space. Mirei approached the man, and questioned: "Is my sister also seeking this power? Will I have to face her?" The mysterious man responded: "Yes, she seeks it as well. Your conflict is inevitable." Mirei looks at the sky, hoping her father is watching over her. After a brief moment of contemplation she silently follows the man through the portal." ~Arcade Mode Introduction (paraphrased)

Introduction

Assassin Mirei is a glass canon, specializing in rushdown and vortex gameplans. She has access to one of the fastest walk speeds in the game, easy hit confirms, many different knockdown and reset combos, good frame advantage on normals and many mobility tools. But since nothing comes free, she pays for it by having the lowest HP in the game, is one of the easiest to stun, and has no access to true reversals without her Powers. This makes her prone to being heavily punished in neutral or pressure, but in the hands of a skilled player, she can contest any character and force them to play her game.
