As a princess of Valla, a country under threat from a First Dragon who was slowly losing control of himself and waging war on Valla, Mikoto grew up with the acute awareness that she was in the unique position to help those in need. With an excellent education and the gift of magic, she felt it was her duty to do so, but she also found personal enjoyment in being able to help. While she did not have the gift of song like her sister, she did pick up several other skills that she used to protect the people of Valla.

FORGIVING
trait
Through her long and eventful life, Mikoto has seen and survived much. She understands the mistakes that can be made and, so long as someone genuinely shows that they are sorry, she can often find it in her heart to forgive them. It may take time, though, especially if what happened was to her or her family.
ABSENT-MINDED
trait
Little things can often escape her thoughts, such as where she placed items. This is also a side effect of her prophetic visions as she can forget where she is in the moment when they overtake her.
SILLY
trait
All situations need some levity. Mikoto doesn't like it when things stay too serious and will sometimes do surprising actions just to get a smile out of someone.
KIND
trait
It has always been important to Mikoto to be kind to those she meets. She sees no point in a life with negativity or turning people away. While not a violent person, she can and will defend herself and those close to her.
GENEROUS
trait
Despite being raised a noble, she was the princess of a deteriorating country that was under constant attack with no outside help. She is generous with her possessions and affections because she knows what it is like to go without.
CARING MOTHER
canon
A generic verse for all general interactions. Mikoto is assumed alive in this timeline, possibly nursed back to health after sustaining grevious wounds that left her out of action for all of the game.
MOTHERLY INSTINCT
three houses
Mikoto resides in the monastery. Unknown to many, her child, Corrin, was stolen from her by Those Who Slither in the Dark. She is aware of Rhea’s true nature simply because her late lover was related but is not aware of her intentions and actions. She hopes to someday recover her child. To the students, she is kind and motherly. While not an instructor, she assists Seteth with the day-to-day activities of the monastery.

Lost Princess
A princess of Valla and the sister to the Valla queen, Arete. Their country was slowly falling into disarray due to Anankos, one of the First Dragons, as he descended into madness and wrecked havoc upon the country. In an attempt to stop his rage, Anankos saved a part of his soul that manifested as a mortal. While his other half slept, the human portion wandered with no memories and met Mikoto, who nursed him to health. The two fell in love and bore a child.
Soon after, his mortal self regained his memories and he helped both Mikoto and Arete escape with their infant children. Upon escaping, they were separated. Arete found herself in Nohr while Mikoto found refuge in Hoshido.
It was there that Mikoto and her child were taken in by King Sumeragi and Queen Ikona. They were allowed to stay in the castle and Mikoto's child was raised among the royal Hoshidan siblings. When Ikona passed, Mikoto looked after her children as if they were her own, and would eventually marry King Sumeragi herself.
The family lived in peace for only a few years before King Garon of Nohr would start becoming hostile toward Hoshido. Tensions came to a head when Sumeragi was lured into a trap, killed, and Mikoto's child kidnapped away to Nohr. Afterward, Mikoto created a magical barrier around their kingdom that sapped the will to fight from any Nohrian that crossed it.
In an attempt to regain their lost sibling, a Nohrian noble, Azura, was kidnapped and brought to Hoshido. Hoshido hoped to trade her for Corrin, but King Garon showed no interest in regaining his lost child. Instead, Mikoto also took to looking after Azura as her own.
She would not reunite with her own child for several years.
GENERAL
This is my own interpretation of Mikoto, please respect that.
There's so little information about her that I've taken a lot of liberties with my headcanons regarding her powers, personality, and life in Valla.

SHIPPING
Mikoto's first love was Anankos and I believe that she also eventually had feelings for Sumeragi. I'm willing to ship with both of these characters.
I'm also open to other ships, regardless of gender, though it will take some plotting and time.
