"Scars dictate where we've been, not where we're going."

Full Name:
Mizuki Tanaka (originally Kazehaya)

English Name: Diana Taylor

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Duel Disk: Standard green body with gold blade

Personality: Mizuki is infamous amongst her peers for her violent tendencies and short temper, getting into fights at school on a weekly basis and mainly with any student that uses fusion monsters. The main reason behind her anger issues is that she is originally from the Xyz Dimension and witnessed first hand the invasion by Academia. As a result, she finds herself unable to trust people and lashes out if she feels threatened. Mizuki views her emotions as a weakness because of all the pain they cause you to experience and tries to cut them out, seeing it as pointless on the 'battlefield/dueling field'. Eventually she comes to accept that feeling pain doesn't make her abnormal, it makes her human. She is unable to take responsibility for her actions because she believes that the people who face her wrath deserve it. Although Mizuki is loyal towards her comrades in the Xyz Dimension and will do anything for them because she believes that they have her back as well.

This later extends to her comrades in the Standard Dimension as she believes that unless everybody unites together to fend off Academia, then they are destined to fail. Mizuki’s cold personality towards her adopted family is later revealed to be a cover because originally she was quite warm towards them for removing her from an orphanage and soon began to heal from her ordeal in the Xyz Dimension. However a few months later, she got into an altercation with a fusion user and it reminded her that she didn’t belong in Standard along with the fear that Academia would go looking for her. Due to this, Mizuki resigned herself to stay distanced from her family as a way to protect them because she believed that one day she would have to leave them without any warning and was convinced that this way, it would hurt both parties less.

Clothes: A sleeveless light blue shirt with a frilled bottom that reveals part of her midriff, a heart shaped blue pendant with a gold outline, blue fingerless gloves, dark pink capri pants with a yellow coloured belt that has a grey pouch attached to it. To finish, she has ankle high shoes with white soles except her left shoe is light blue and her right shoe is dark pink.

Precious Items: The blue locket around her neck because it contains a picture of what she treasures the most but nobody knows what it is, so somebody is always trying to steal it.

Ace Card: Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon/Mecha Beast Phantom Draccosack

History: Mizuki is originally from Heartland City in the Xyz Dimension and led a happy life with her family until the Fusion Dimension invaded them when was 13. As a result of this, she lost all of her family because they were one of the first groups of people to get transformed into a card. Mizuki had no choice but to join the Resistance to survive and looked to them as a new family that she was strongly dedicated to protecting. This is also how she met Shun because he was one of the strongest members of the Resistance and she looked up to him, deciding to become a strong duelist like him to protect her comrades. However, when Mizuki was 14 she somehow ended up in the Standard Dimension during one of her battles with Academia. With no means of going back home, she took to stealing to survive on the street until she was caught stealing by a shopkeeper and the police transferred her to live in foster care.

After a few months, she was adopted by the Tanaka family because a year prior to this, Sanae (the mother) had suffered a miscarriage and wanted to have another child but was too frightened to go through another pregnancy at her age. They chose Mizuki because Rima wanted a big sister and they bonded with Mizuki over dueling, impressed by her skills. Mizuki was enrolled in LDS but she wasn’t registered in any summoning method class as nobody knew that Mizuki was an Xyz user because she feared that the Fusion Dimension would find her if they saw her Xyz summoning. Although the first time she faced a fusion user after being at LDS for over a year, she found herself consumed by rage and couldn’t prevent herself from Xyz summoning Harpie’s Pet Phantasmal Dragon.

Mizuki would have injured her opponent if it wasn’t for the duel being cut short by a practice fire alarm but it still produced a high level of Xyz energy that resulted in Reiji looking into her background. After this, she was transferred to the Xyz summoning class but she refused to get involved because it would draw attention to herself. Sometime in the future, Mizuki is forced to duel Hokuto due to her low dueling participation rate and would be kicked out unless it increased. Once again, she finds herself Xyz summoning which is caught by Reiji and he deduces that from her high energy levels she is from a different dimension. She ended up losing the duel because Hokuto used Constellar Pleiades' effect to throw her off the top of a large building and she dislocated her shoulder by grabbing onto the nearest ledge on her way down. As a result, she dislocated her shoulder and it fuelled her dislike towards Hokuto as she would have become the top ranked member of the Xyz class.

Whilst Mizuki was recovering from her injured shoulder, she didn't attend her classes at LDS and was greatly annoyed as she was unable to do anything without some form of assistance. After her shoulder healed, Mizuki tried to find Hokuto to sate her anger with him but when she bumped into him on the streets, he disregarded her because he was trying to assist Masumi. She promptly ran after him but kept a decent distance away from him because she wanted to make sure that she caught Hokuto off guard. However, she stumbled on Yaiba, Masumi and Hokuto's duel against Shun and quickly pulled back before they could see her. Mizuki watched the entire duel and wasn't surprised to see Shun win, although she was shocked as to why he was behaving so aggressive towards him since Shun didn't go after innocent people. Once the duel was finished, she attempted to leave without being seen because she knew better than to be around Shun when he was in that state.

Reiji knew that Mizuki had seen the entire thing and wanted to have her memory wiped because an unsupervised Xyz remnant was a liability and he didn’t want to risk Mizuki doing the same things Shun or Yuto did. He sent his guards after her the moment she finished a class at LDS and got them to drag her away. Halfway through this ordeal, Mizuki managed to break free after temporarily relaxing her body in order to trick the guards into loosening their grip. Unfortunately Mizuki didn’t know how to escape the building and was cornered by a sizable group, leaving her no choice but to activate her Duel Disk. Before she could inflict any damage, Reiji intervened and attempted to talk her down in order to prevent anybody getting harmed. At first, Mizuki was going to deactivate her Duel Disk and resolve the situation peacefully but after realising that Reiji was Leo Akaba’s son (somebody called him by his surname) she challenged him to a duel and wouldn’t take no for an answer, highlighting her current emotional instability. He accepted the duel although it ended halfway with no result because Shun appeared, it completely threw Mizuki off balance and couldn’t continue.

Once Mizuki had calmed down, Reiji questioned her and she only revealed the bare minimum about herself. He informed her that if she wanted to get revenge on Leo Akaba, he would allow her the opportunity but only if Mizuki followed his instructions. The main reason Mizuki listened to Reiji was because for the first time in two years, she finally had a chance to avenge her family. She participated in the Maiami Championship under Reiji’s orders and as a way for her to sharpen up her dueling skills for her next confrontation with Academia. For the duration of the tournament, Mizuki avoided Shun because of ow she abruptly left the Xyz Dimension without any warning two years prior and she believed that Shun would blame her for 'abandoning' the Resistance when that wasn’t the case. Nevertheless,  she witnessed Shun's duel with Sora and she almost cried at the sight of the field spell as she found herself overwhelmed with memories of how happy her life used to be. In the first round of the tournament, Mizuki was matched up to her younger sister Rima.

Rima spent the majority of the duel trying to get Mizuki to smile with her own brand of entertainment dueling. However, Mizuki didn't take her challenge seriously because to Mizuki, dueling was purely a means of survival and she believed that Rima's dueling style was flimsy in comparison. Rima almost won the duel after realising that Mizuki wouldn't respect her unless she beat her sister in a duel and managed to turn the duel around on the next turn by summoning Naturia Bamboo Shoot to lock down 2/3s of Mizuki's deck before fusion summoning Naturia Gaiastrio. It was at that moment, Mizuki found her blood boiling at the sight of Rima's fusion monster as it reminded her of all the pain they ever caused her. Mizuki finally took Rima seriously and did everything she could to win the duel by summoning Ice Beast Zerofyne with Harpie's Channeler to negate Bamboo Shoot's effect in order to use her face-down Hysteric Party to Xyz summon Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon.

In the second round, Mizuki lost the duel to Hikage because she didn’t show up due to being spotted by Selena. Selena confronted her an hour before her next duel, accusing her of being an Xyz Remnant as she witnessed Mizuki Xyz summoning in her last duel. Mizuki rightfully guessed that Selena was a member of Academia judging by her Duel Disk and told her that if they went through with the duel, then Mizuki wouldn’t show her any mercy because of what the Fusion Dimension had done. However, Reiji who had surveillance on Mizuki phoned and told her not to engage the girl in a duel, telling her to escape if possible. Whilst Mizuki was heavily tempted to disobey Reiji, she knew that in the long run it would be better to listen to him and managed to ditch Selena by jumping over a chain linked fence.

During the Battle Royal, Mizuki is allowed to intervene when the Obelisk Force invaded Maiami City (although she was no longer a participant of the tournament, Reiji let her step in as it wasn’t exactly her fault for missing her duel) and she helped her sister Rima to defeat the Obelisk Force as she refused to allow any more people to be sealed into cards. When the timer stopped, Mizuki returned to the stadium and like the other survivors, she becomes a Lancer and is viewed as a valuable asset as her experience made her adaptable to any situation.


Trivia:

She gets along better with guys instead of girls because she thinks that they aren't as 'touchy feel-y' as girls.

All of her shirts reveal some of her stomach because she enjoys the breeze.

She knows basic self defence and is able to hold her own in a fight - as long as it's just against one strong person or two average strength people.

Action Duels are her element as she is quite agile, it can also reflect her deck type as Harpies can fly.

Mizuki's summoning chants always refer to victory and beauty (Loyal pet, your masters summon you to lead us into glorious victory! Xyz summon! Rank 4! Alluring dragon from a time that never was! Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon!)

Her original surname ‘Kazehaya’ translates to Kaze meaning "wind" and haya meaning"fast" and it can apply to her Harpie deck. This is due to the Harpie archetype mainly being WIND monsters and “fast” can refer to how this decks playing style is dedicated to rapidly summoning Harpies (as rapid is another word for fast).

Similar to Yuto and Shun, she is able to materialise her cards but this ability only presents itself when Mizuki feels threatened or is under extreme stress.
Alright, so here is my second YGO Arc V OC :3 Mizuki is from the Xyz Dimension and for some reason I headcanon all the people in the Xyz Dimension who survived as having PTSD for some reason...Anywho, Mizuki is mentioned quite a bit in my other Arc V ocs biography: fav.me/d8r5w5v

Unlike Rima, Mizuki has a whole lot more to add to the plot of Arc V and I've tried my best to make her a balanced character, I hope you like her ^^ Also in two months or so, I'll update both girls biographies with character relationships.
