Mikoto

Mikoto is a character in the Samurai Shodown series, first introduced in Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage. She is the daughter of Shadow Asura and Shiki. Before Shiki died, she entrusted Mikoto to Nicotine Caffeine and his student, Haohmaru. Over time, Mikoto demonstrated inhuman abilities and skills, incorporating these powers into her unique fighting style, which corresponds with her dual personas, commonly dubbed as "Angel" and "Devil". Her inner conflict sometimes manifests in the form of one white and black wing. Mikoto uses her heavenly powers to conduct religious services and is revered as a religious symbol (shrine maiden). Ashamed of her red eyes, Mikoto fled her home and arrived in Ritenkyo. Enticed by Oboro and infatuated with Tohma Kuki, she joined the "Three Blades of Domination". Eventually, Haohmaru embarked on a quest to find her. Upon reaching Ritenkyo, he killed Oboro and told Mikoto of her heritage. While thankful, she decided to stay in Ritenkyo awaiting Tohma's return. In her ending, the "Devil" side dominates her "Angel" side, defeating Yuga. However, both Asuras instinctively awaken and slay her "Devil" side, revealing that Yuga, her parents' tormentor, was the source of the darkness. The freed Mikoto (or "Angel" Mikoto) is encouraged by her parents' spirits to continue living, for their sake and hers.
