Story
Mi'yu grew up in a large forest city where the arts and magic were celebrated. The prestigious Guild of Magical Arts is established there, along with numerous experienced artisans. It is a pleasant place to live, and the city is populated by various races, especially feline ones, likely due to their natural agility and sensitivity.
Mi'yu is deeply invested in her art and has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, which led her to leave her renowned artisan career to become a Magus Painter and join an adventurer team. Like many artisans and Magus Painters in her world, Mi'yu creates her own paint using magical pigments. She is also a member of the Guild of Magical Arts and participates in pigment supply expeditions.
These expeditions are often dangerous and significant events. Depending on the colors of the pigments, the gathering or extraction locations can be more or less perilous or difficult to access. As a result, the guild regularly seeks assistance from the Adventurers Guild to accompany the artisans on these expeditions.
Some pigments are so rare and difficult to obtain that the Adventurers Guild has to involve other races, such as the Waterfolk, to collect pigments in corals where currents and magical phenomena make access perilous, or the Dragon Elf people to reach the highest peaks, floating islands, and other inaccessible or hidden lands.
Naturally, such pigments are precious, expensive, and highly sought after. Some of these pigments possess powerful magical attributes but are often challenging to master. They are primarily reserved for renowned artisans, especially experienced Magus Painters who are part of the Legion, Companies, or adventurer teams. Unfortunately, this also attracts poachers, thieves, and other individuals, resulting in occasional losses during expeditions and the presence of these treasures in the black market.
Despite the risks involved, Mi'yu is always excited about participating in these expeditions as they offer her the opportunity to discover new pigments and push the boundaries of her art. She is aware of the importance of these pigments for the artisans and strives to acquire them ethically and safely. By joining her adventurer team, Mi'yu hopes not only to satisfy her desire for exploration and adventure but also to contribute to the protection of her world's magical resources and the preservation of art in all its forms.

Appearance
Mi'yu (みゆ) is a petite Nekomimi with a sensual and voluptuous allure. Her long cat tail, hair, and ears are violet with black ink-like tips. She has short curly hair at the back and two longer locks framing her face, one of which is adorned with a crossed hairpin. She has a small braid on the same side, held by another hairpin. She has a slightly pointed and asymmetrical long fringe in the middle, which sometimes covers one of her eyes. Her eyes are golden, and like the tips of her hair, they change color based on the magical power she uses for her drawings.
She wears a very short dark leather bustier with crisscrossed laces, a white bodysuit with garters to support her long white stockings, small open-toed leather boots, a blue denim micro-short with ruffles on the sides, and a big belt with a pouch for her paint vials and magical accessories. She accessorizes with short and long open-fingered drawing gloves, an earring, and a leather choker with ruffles.

Personality
Mi'yu is a gentle, dreamy, and often teasing young woman. She is somewhat solitary by nature, despite her need for proximity. She enjoys feeling life around her and observing, which provides her with a sense of well-being and stimulates her creativity. She is passionate about magical art and finds a sense of purpose through it, often becoming deeply focused and absorbed in her creative thoughts.
She is highly skilled in her craft, although the only downside is that she doesn't particularly enjoy working during the daytime.
Mi'yu is affectionate towards her loved ones and appreciates moments of cuddling. She has a hearty appetite and is particularly fond of NikuNyan, small warm buns filled with juicy meat that remind her of cozy cushions. She loves big Mage hats and enjoys napping anywhere as long as there are no insects.
✦
Skills
Mi'yu is a Magus Painter, and her magical creations come to life temporarily if needed, allowing her to materialize everyday objects or ones from her imagination. She can also generate powerful illusions, such as raining stones or chimeras spewing illusory fire at enemies, making them feel the heat. The more mastery she has over her drawings, the stronger and more convincing her illusions become. Her skills enable her to keep her creations alive for an extended duration, making her a valuable, versatile, and strategic ally for her team.
As a Nekomimi, she possesses natural agility and grace, which is reflected in the fluidity of her movements when she is drawing.
Outside of combat, Mi'yu is also a talented artisan painter. She utilizes her artistic skills to create magnificent and expressive works, breathing life into her ideas and emotions through her paintings.
