History
At some point in her life, her parents abandoned her at the Hyakuya Orphanage which was run by the Brotherhood of a Thousand Nights, a religious organization infamous for its cruel experimentation on orphans.

Prologue

The adults perished, Third Progenitor Krul Tepes led the vampire invasion on Tokyo. For the next four years, the orphans survived as livestock for the vampires in the vampire capital of Sanguinem, which is located under Kyoto.

She is happy to see Yu return to their home in the vampire city, and shares the news of what Akane is preparing. On their way out of Sanguinem she is in awe of the view of the city and asks Mika where are they going, and why they will be saying goodbye to this world.
