Miu Shinonome (東雲ミウ Shinonome Miu?) is a main character in Digimon Survive.

Appearance[]

Description[]

Miu is an eccentric girl that likes to speak in riddles. Miu dislikes the fact that her brother, Kaito Shinonome, always interferes with her and so rebels against him. Despite this, she does genuinly care about her brother and doesn't want him to get hurt. Miu's partner Syakomon likes to daydream, and Miu keeps Syakomon grounded.[1] After discovering that her leading them to the shrine is what led to them entering the alternate world, she feels a large amount of guilt, feeling like everything that happened was her fault.

Kaito and Miu often misunderstand each other because Kaito is clumsy at expressing himself.[2] Miu is fascinated with the occult and finds the danger of the alternate World fascinating, having wound up in it after telling Saki Kimishima and the others about the forbidden shrine. Her eccentric behavior confuses the others and throws them off track.[3]

When Miu was younger, a young man became interested in her and began stalking her. This experience caused Miu to fear males, and had her pretend to be weird and have the opposite interests to her actual interests in the hopes no other man would ever become that interested in her again. This also had the side effect of everyone thinking she was weird, causing her to have very few friends. If Takuma Momozuka chooses to call her cute, she begins panicking, remembers what happened in the past, and thinks she should change how she acts around Takuma in the hopes he doesn't think she's cute any more. She is able to warm up to Takuma, and the other males in the group, coming to realize that not all males are evil.

People find Miu's fashion sense weird, calling her childish saying her sleeves were too long and her cat eared hat was for kids. This annoyed Miu, since she thought both were cute. She ended up alienating them further when she said if they kept saying that she'd put a curse on them which just caused them to hate and fear her even more. Their fear and hate of her caused her to fear and hate them back and also caused her to remember how she felt when she still had to deal with her stalker which made her feel even worse. This, combined with her brother's obsession with her, caused her to wish that a God would whisk her far away so that she didn't have to deal with any of it any more and thought her wish had come true after she was sent to the alternate world.[4]
