Kouzuki Mio (EFZ)

Introduction

Mio is an exceptionally versatile fighter who is able to switch between 2 radically different move lists at will. She uses costumes to give flair (and references) to her special moves.

Mio's current mode is shown right below her health bar. Blue text means that she is in Short Range Mode, and red text means she is in Long Range Mode.

Mio is actually one of the heroines of ONE, a visual novel produced by Tactics in 1998. Mio is a 1st grade student in the same school as Kouhei. She always carries a sketchbook with her since she is mute. Also, her face expresses a lot of emotion, so you can easily tell how she is feeling just from looking. During ONE, [SINGLE HINT SENTENCE]...

Stage: Gymnasium
