Akiyama Mizuki (暁山 瑞希) is a second-year student at Kamiyama High School. She's the animator of the underground music circle 25-ji, Nightcord de.
Mizuki goes by the alias Amia online.
Character Bio
"Kind of moody and obsessed with anything cute. Falling in love with one of Kanade's songs found at random online, Mizuki created a music video for it, which in turn caught Kanade's attention. That's how Mizuki became the group's animator. Friends though they may be, Mizuki keeps a big secret from the rest of the group."
Background
Since middle school, Mizuki has been bullied and treated as an outcast, primarily for dressing in cute clothing. While in middle school, she met Kamishiro Rui on the school's rooftop. Mizuki was hesitant at first, but the two eventually became close friends.
After moving to high school, Mizuki lost contact with Rui due to her low attendance at school. She skips class often due to the bullying she still faces, only going every few weeks so she doesn't have to retake the grade.
Mizuki found one of Yoisaki Kanade's songs by chance and made an music video for it, posting it online. Kanade saw the MV Mizuki made and invited she to the circle that would become 25-ji, 25-ji, Nightcord de., which she accepted.
Mizuki has a big secret no one in the circle knows about, and that she hopes she never has to tell them.
Appearance
Mizuki has light pink eyes and light pink hair, slightly curled and worn in a ponytail placed on the side of her head and tied with a ribbon, with two strands of hair framing her face. She has pale skin and wears pink mascara.
Original
In her unit outfit, she wore a black sailor uniform. The collar of her uniform was light gray with a black-and-pink ribbon. She wore a gray striped skirt, ruffled with frills and lace on the hem of the skirt. The outer layer of the skirt was held at the left side with a ribbon, exposing the inner layers of the skirt. She wore thigh-high black socks, as well as strappy black heeled shoes.
Her casual outfit consisted of a blue-grey pleated skirt with two frills on each side and two straps that have similar frills and lighter lace on the ends of the skirt. She had a chunky off-white button-up blouse with a large, triangular shirt-collar, baggy sleeves and an old-fashioned design going down the middle. Her hair was held up with a black bow, a similar-looking ribbon used as a bow tie with the (presumably fictional/mock) brand "CubeRouge" written along one of the strands in gold.
For Mizuki's school uniform, she wore a blue plaid skirt, a light-pink blouse as an undershirt, and a yellow-ish cardigan that was mostly buttoned up and had a red and pink stripe going down the middle and along the brims of the cardigan's pockets. Like her unit outfit, their hair was held in the same red ribbon and a red bow tie with diagonal purple stripes.
Brand New World
Mizuki has three outfits as of Brand New World.
Her unit outfit consists of a black dress with white printed flower designs, over a gray blouse. She wears a belt with a heart buckle, and a bow at her collar that fades into a dull pink. She also wears sheer grey tights, and tall black boots.
Her casual outfit consists of a white blouse, tucked into flared, frilly pink trousers with suspenders and a pink belt.
Her school outfit is the standard female Kamiyama High School uniform with a bow tie, with a lilac cardigan in place of a suit jacket, and black thigh-high socks.
Other
When she was in middle school, she had much shorter hair and she wore the male uniform for their middle school — a dark red blazer with gold buttons, a pale sweater-vest, plaid brown pants, a turquoise tie and light a blue shirt.
Personality
 | Spoiler Warning! This section contains spoilers for the 25-ji, Nightcord de. story. Please proceed with caution! |
Mizuki is a moody person and Kanade thinks she only acts on her own principles. She tends to get frustrated and upset whenever She's ridiculed for various reasons, and she strongly desires to freely express herself, without holding back or being made fun of due to just being who she is. She's also obsessed with cute things.
Despite her energetic, carefree, and sometimes childish demeanor, Mizuki is shown to be, on more than a few occasions, the most mature member of Nightcord, as Ena herself admits in one of her card stories. She often assumes the role of mediator in arguments, breaking things up and settling things down whenever she senses that the air has become too heated. She's fairly introspective, and is therefore usually the one to suggest breaks when she notices that her fellow members have grown tired or particularly stressed out. Where Kanade tends to intensely hone in her focus, Mizuki keeps her attention at least somewhat rooted in reality, able to sense changes in tension and atmosphere in the group. She is able to come to fairly nuanced conclusions about issues, as well as people, as is evident in the way she spoke of her feelings towards Mafuyu disappearing; describing how she would feel but acknowledging that it is not Mafuyu's responsibility to respond to, or feel saved by, her feelings.
For better or for worse, they have a very strong learned sense of boundaries: when to involve themself in the affairs of others, and when to involve others in their own affairs. They make sure to acknowledge that they themself are bound to have little understanding of others’ struggles before proceeding to offer an opinion. They carry with them a strong recognition of the struggles their fellow members face, and with this comes a belief that the group isn’t an appropriate space to share their own struggles. It seems that they stay secretive, to an extent, from an understanding that everyone has their own mysteries.
Relationships
- Yoisaki Kanade: Fellow circle member. Mizuki is grateful towards Kanade for accepting them as she is.
- Asahina Mafuyu: Fellow circle member. Mizuki empathizes with her about feeling pressured to fit everyone's standards.
- Shinonome Ena: Fellow circle member. Mizuki enjoys teasing her. She follows her on social media.
- Shiraishi An: Classmate (Kamiyama 1-A) and close friend. Mizuki enjoys talking to her whenever they go to school, and enjoys teasing her about her fear of ghosts, as shown in An's 1☆ card. It is implied that An knows about the secret Mizuki hides from 25-ji, Nightcord de.
- Shinonome Akito: Brother of a circle member and fellow Kamiyama student. Mizuki likes to playfully tease him.
- Kamishiro Rui: "An old friend". They bonded over being outcasts in middle school, hanging out on the roof together. Mizuki is happy to see that Rui's made friends since then. According to Mizuki's second 1* story, Mizuki is the one who made Rui and Nene's stage outfits, after she ran into Rui working on Nenerobo and found it totally uncute. It is implied that Rui knows about the secret Mizuki hides from 25-ji, Nightcord de.
