Introduction
Tohno Minagi (遠野 美凪) is a neat character who fights together with her best friend Michiru. Minagi can command Michiru to move and attack from anywhere on the screen, which forces the opponent to keep an eye on both Minagi and Michiru at all times.
Minagi is actually one of the heroines of AIR, a visual novel produced by Key in 2000. She is a top student of the school in the town where the story takes place. Her lack of expression gives people an enigmatic impression, though in reality, she is warm and loving. Minagi enjoys blowing bubbles, eating rice, and is the president of the astronomy club at school. Her best friend is Michiru, a bright and energetic girl who sees Yukito as a "rival" and usually greets him with a kick. During AIR, Yukito discovers Minagi's secret concerning her mother, and also learns the truth behind Michiru...
Stage: Abandoned Station (Day) (廃駅(昼))
BGM: Prism (虹)
Character-Specific Notes
- Minagi is able to air jump once, and air dash/backstep once. Once Minagi has air dashed/backstepped, she cannot perform any more air jumps.
- If Michiru starts to go off screen, Michiru will automatically run back to the center of the screen.
- Once Michiru starts attacking the opponent, Michiru becomes vulnerable to attack herself. If Michiru is hit, she will fall to the floor for several seconds, and will be unable to take any commands from Minagi during this time.
