Mio Nishizono (西園 美魚, Nishizono Mio)
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Mio is a calm girl who is very diligent.
Biography []
In the real world, Mio was feeling guilty over having forgotten an imaginary friend she used to have, who comes to life in the artificial world as Midori. She uses the parasol because she is trying to hide that she has no shadow; this is due to Midori using Mio's shadow to materialize her own body. Mio was originally designed by Na-Ga to wear glasses, but this was later dropped. However, players can still view her CG with glasses during Riki Naoe's déjà vu flashback of Mio, though this is meant to be a deception by Midori.
Quotes[]
- "Let's see... You do have a baby face, so you might be popular with a certain demographic. If we paired you with Natsume-san and his brotherly love image, that might just work. Natsume X Naoe." - Mio misunderstanding when Riki Naoe asks her to be the manager of the Little Busters (Episode 12)
- "The seagull / wonder if she is sad / left alone without being touched / by the blue of the sky / or the blue of the sea." - Mio's favourite tanka, which she describes to be her "self".
- "There are people in this world who dont understand that what they call harmless prank can deeply hurt someone else." - Mio to Riki, having lost her book
- "Since I was a child, I've always been a pebble on the roadside, never lingering in anybody's memory. Had you never spoken to me, I'd probably have been alone forever. I would have wished to disappear from everyone's memory. But now, I have a fulfilling life with all of you. I'm grateful to have been born. I never even imagined that this version of me existed. Naoe-san, you've given me a miracle." - Mio to Riki, encouraging him before the baseball game (Episode 26)
Etymology[]
- The name Mio means "beautiful" (美) (mi) and "fish" (魚) (o).
- Mio's surname Nishizono means "west" (西) (nishi) and "garden, park, plantation" (園) (sono/zono).
Trivia[]
- Mio carries around a book of poems by Bokusui Wakayama.
- Due to having weak health, Mio is always seen with a parasol when outside.
