Nicknames:--
Age: 16
Birthday: April 12
Grade: 11th
Power: Power mimicry - the ability to copy any power that she sees until the person using the power is out of sight.

Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not: Not
Appearance: Misa has light brown eyes that can appear demure and glazed over when she is lost in her own thoughts or focused and intelligent when she is engaged in a conversation about science or determined to solve a physics problem. Her long, wavy blonde hair usually falls freely, perhaps a bit messily, on her back, since she doesn't like making the effort to do anything to it, but it is pulled back into a neat high ponytail when she is studying. She has glasses but often forgets to wear them since she only needs them for driving or reading the board in classrooms. She has light skin, small lips, and a well-defined jawline.
Most of Misa's closet is made up of long, flowing dresses, since they are comfortable and quick to throw on yet feminine enough for her to avoid being accused of not caring about her appearance. At 5'6", she is a bit taller than the average girl. She is thin and well-proportioned: not as well-endowed as some of the girls at Ashford but not totally flat, either. Since she is tall, she doesn't like heels, so she usually pairs her dresses with flats or boots. Misa has a delicate away about her. Her movements are generally slow and thoughtful, never characteristic of any kind of aggression.

Overall Personality:
Misa is a scientific mind. She likes reading whatever scientific texts she can get her hands on and performing small experiments in her room. For this reason, she can seem a bit reclusive, which isn't totally inaccurate. As an introvert, she loves having time to herself, even though she doesn't dislike people. Her best friend is the guinea pig she keeps in her room named Miss Akita Evita or just Evita for short (after the dog from the musical, Rent). In addition to loving science, she also appreciates culture and particularly enjoys art and Broadway musicals, even though she herself can't draw or sing.
Because Misa was sent to Ashford to be Mamoru's arranged bride, she sometimes tries to hide her natural intellect and outspokenness, since she believes these things to be uncharacteristic of the ideal "waifu" that men seem to love so much. Instead of showing her real personality around Mamoru, she tries to be empty-minded but adorable. She is not very good at either of those things, so it often comes off as awkward instead.
Around most people, Misa is friendly and easy to like. However, she doesn't put up with anyone's idiocy. She can be blunt, and she will be quick to put down ignorance, stupidity, or bullying of any kind. She is definitely not fragile. In fact, she is rather protective of other people, even though she dislikes weakness. She may think that a person's weakness and subservience is pathetic, but she'll still protect him or her regardless.
Misa's most distinguishing trait is her sense of duty. She puts her duties, especially her duty to her family, before all else, including her own wants.
History
Family Members/guardians:
Midori Kita [mother]
Hideo Kita [father]
Kaede Kita [older sister]
History: Misa was born into wealth and high social standing. She always had maids and butlers to dote on her, tutors to help her in school, and plenty of friends. Her friends were loving. Her life was perfectly fine, and she had no reason to be rebellious. She was a very agreeable child who always obeyed her parents, did her chores, and studied hard. In her free time, she liked to go to art museums and attend musicals. Her interest in science also led her to participate in many science fairs, where she was always awarded first place for her well-thought-out experiments.
Her older sister, Kaede, was another story. Though the two had the same amicable upbringing, Kaede found every reason to rebel. Kaede was a beautiful, well-known socialite in Tokyo, and she spent all her time partying, drinking, going on spending sprees, and generally ignoring her parents. Misa found this behavior obnoxious, but instead of hating her sister, she found it her responsibility to sort of "cancel out" her sister's knack for disappointing their parents by being as perfect a trophy daughter as possible. She started clubs in school and earned perfect grades. She earned awards for her community service. Because of her parents' wealth and influence, she was able to avoid going to Ashford Academy for many years, despite being obviously gifted with power mimicry and mediumship. By the eleventh grade, all the top colleges around the world, including her dream school, Amherst Universiy, were already fighting for Misa's interest.
As far as Misa was concerned, her life was perfect. That changed when she learned one of her family's dark secrets that they hid from everyone to keep up appearances. Her father, Hideo Kita, was addicted to gambling, and his addiction had driven their family far into debt with dangerous loan sharks for many years. Misa's mother, Midori Kita, a docile and subservient wife, worked hard to hide this but did not work nearly as hard to make her husband quit the addiction. Midori and Hideo had to tell Misa the secret when they needed her, their ever-loyal and dutiful daughter, to do something for them. They had made a deal with another wealthy family in Japan: Mamoru's family. Misa was to convince Mamoru to marry her, and in return, the Hongos would quietly take care of the Kitas' debt. Misa's socialite sister, Kaede, had been their first choice, but since the party girl refused, the responsibility fell into Misa's hands. Misa hated the idea, but she loved her parents and felt that it was her duty to do whatever it took to protect the family. She allowed herself to be taken to Ashford, knowing that she would be leaving behind her perfect life and the perfect future at her dream college that she had come so close to attaining.
