History:http://www.cameraslens.com/fatalframewiki/index.php5?title=Miku_Hinasaki Appearance:http://i.imgur.com/oGDte.jpg Personality: For as long as she can remember, Miku has seen what she describes “things that other people couldn’t see.” Ghosts, premonitions and other frightening things have plagued her in a way that most people are unable to understand. As a result of this, she’s become quite shy and even reserved. She keeps to herself, rarely venturing out of her shell and growing uncomfortable in social situations. That’s not to say that she’s unwilling to participate in conversations or try to be friendly, but rather that she has a difficult time becoming close to others. Her unique circumstances have made it difficult for others to understand her, to the point where she has in all likelihood been bullied in the past over it, and also left her unsure as to how to relate to others who don’t suffer from visions.
Compounding this is the fact that Miku’s family life has been full of tragedy. Her father disappeared while on an assignment when she was quite young. Later, sometime before the start of the game she went through something even worse with her mother, whom she was likely closer to, as she wears her hair pin at all times. She was helpless to watch as her mother was driven insane by the Camera Obscura, cumuliating in finding that she had hung herself in the garden. This, like her sixth sense, has left her closed off from her peers.
But her sixth sense isn’t the only thing Miku keeps to herself about. The tragedies that have occurred in her family and, depending on the time period, her own depression are things that she chooses to keep to herself. Even her brother, Mafuyu, is rarely mentioned after his death. Her depression is often hidden under optimism and smiles, most of which are reserved for those close to her. She’ll often choose keeping herself busy or helping others with their problems over admitting to her own, both out of distrust and uncertainty. At the point in canon she’s taken from this will especially apply to her mother, whose death she was only able to cope with due to Mafuyu. It’s a touchy subject and likely one she’ll avoid when possible.
Really, the only person that Miku has ever been able to open up to was her older brother and caretaker, Mafuyu. Mafuyu, like Miku, had the rare gift of the sixth sense, so the two understood each other quite well. Mafuyu is somebody who she can open up to about her visions and the things she sees, and also somebody who’s always been kind to her and takes care of her. Miku loves him more than anyone else. The fact that she would seek him out in a haunted house and what’s more, stay in it for no reason other than because she wanted to find him is a testament to this fact. Likewise, though she is taken from before this tragedy, two years later she succumbs to the Tattooed Curse just to try and see him again.
Though one might think her shy nature would make Miku a weak character, this is simply not the case! She would’ve never searched out her brother if she were weak-willed, not with the sense of foreboding she felt about Himuro Mansion, nor would she have been able to fight the ghosts the permeated the ghosts if she hadn’t been able to steel herself. Granted, she’s not the type to deliberately seek out danger, but when it comes right down to it, Miku can be very brave. This goes double when somebody that she cares about is on the line.
Additionally, Miku is extremely clever. Although Mafuyu helped her by scattering his notes around the mansion, for the most part he was being tailed by Kirie, while Miku did the bulk of the leg work. She unveiled all of the ghosts notes and audio, many of which were hidden in some pretty odd places, and figure out the mansion’s various puzzles and traps with minimal knowledge of them. Even with the mansion’s constant shifting in time and and appearance she was able to solve its mysteries and put the holy mirror back together, something which no one else had been able to do.
Abilites: Miku wields a device known as a Camera Obscura, which was created in order to film the paranormal. The camera has an exorcismal effect on ghosts, but also creates a sort of link with them. The effectiveness of the Camera Obscura is dependent on how powerful the character's sixth sense is and Miku's sixth sense is one of the strongest in the series. Additionally, a sixth sense grows more powerful when two siblings are together. The rest is as follows:
GHOSTS While a sixth sense is not necessary to see some more powerful ghosts, a sixth sense allows one to see ghosts that would be naked to the normal eye. SENSE OF FOREBODING This is the most common manifestation of a character’s sixth sense. They will feel a sense of unease about a situation or place or feel as though they have been drawn or otherwise called to it for reasons that they can’t explain. This can also occur in the form of prophetic dreams. IMPERSSIONS Characters with a strong sixth sense can receive what are known as impressions. The most common way for this to happen is when the character enters a place with strong emotions attached to it or an item that fits the same criteria. They will often be take the form of a memory related to the item or in the case of a location, the memories of a person who had visited that place. POSSESSION The stronger a character’s sixth sense is, the more susceptible they are to the vengeful feelings of ghosts. In some cases, they can even become possessed by them. Both can occur in characters with weaker sixth senses, however they seem to be less prone to outright possession.
[There’s a pause as she waits for a response. When none comes, she continues, a nervous edge in her voice.]
Is anyone there...?
[Another pause and the sound of shuffling.]
I’m sorry. I’ve never used a device like this before....ah, my name is Miku Hinasaki. I just arrived in this town. I’m looking for my big brother, Mafuyu. He’s a very kind person with black hair and brown eyes. I saw him before, in that mansion--
[She cuts off, seeming to realize what she’s saying.]
I...I was hoping I could find him here. Is there a way to tell...? That is--if anyone has seen him, please let me know. Thank you very much.

Third Person: This hallway gave her chills. Everything from the mirror at the end, showing only her reflection now, but ghosts at other times, to the boarded doors to the ropes that were strung throughout it. More than once she had begun making her way down the hallway, only to nearly jump out of her skin as one would brush up against her shoulder or sway against her back. At these times she would spin around, camera pointed, searching for the malicious spirit that might have occurred, only to breathe a sigh of relief as she found herself blissfully alone. At the same time, she felt a twinge of disappointment--because she hoped that at once, her paranoia would turn into relief as she looked to see that it was not a spirit or a rope, but her brother.
That never happened, though, so she continued walking down the hallway. She lifted her eyes up to the ceiling, decrepit as the rest of the mansion and once again thought of her brother. Where was he? She saw his shadow as she wandered through this place, but no matter how quickly she followed, a shadow was a shadow and she had no hope of catching up to it. The thought that she might never see him again made her heart ache, but also steeled her resolve. Miku needed to remain courageous not just for herself, but for him too. If she could find a way to end the curse on this place, she was sure that she found find him as well.
“Mafuyu...” The word was a whisper, said under her breath. It was difficult, being in this place, but she wouldn’t regret coming here. Rather, she wished that she had stopped her brother from coming here to search for Takamine. If she had found a way to stop him, perhaps both of them could have avoided this fate. Mafuyu was the most important person in the world to her and she hated that she’d allowed him to put himself in a situation like this.
But the fact that she allowed it, she thought as she pushed the door to the entranceway open, dodging the hole in the ground as she made a beeline for the mask on the other side, was all the more reason that she needed to save him. Him, and the spirits of this place as well.
