Backstory
Miwa Tai Shi was born on Unmei, the daughter of Rox Shi and Sky Shi. This, by itself, put a lot of weight on her; Unmei was the planet that several humans went to after the Great Natsu Legislative War, which occurred due to humans finding out about magic. Those who wanted to live a magic-filled life were scattered throughout the Natsu Galaxy, but Unmei was the main settlement for some, and as it was inhabited back in the olden days, the people decided to have the planet live under a monarchy. The first king, Adelram Shi, was seen as a respected king in modern-day, and Miwa was his descendant. Being the princess of Unmei meant several things - after all, Unmei wasn't all one planetary government anymore, and it'd broken into several kingdoms over the course of several wars. But most of all, there would be one thing found that would change baby Miwa's life forever.

The finding of the Key of Darkness.

Keys were god-created objects to lower their power and give mortals a sense of power and purpose. Around the time Miwa was born, there was an ongoing war between Unmei and Hitteki, an opposing kingdom. Unfortunately for her, Unmei was on the losing side... that is, until the Key of Darkness landed in Unmei's territory. Rox planned for the Key's energy to be implemented into the soldiers' magical force, and that was the plan, but it turned out the soldiers' bodies weren't strong enough to handle the sudden influx of Key magic. Desperate to not let his ancestors' legacy all go to waste, Rox examined Miwa, finding out that her young, Shi blood and magical receptors were in fact durable enough to host the Key's energy. Keeping it secret from his wife and most of the kingdom, Rox had the kingdom's best scientists perform experiments on her. The experiments were often painful and left the child extremely drained. By the end of it, most of the Key's energy had been siphoned into Miwa, and it blasted off with what little it had left.

The kingdom's reception to the news was harsh, especially Sky, who thought her and Rox's daughter shouldn't have had to go through such torturous trials, and everyone thought the queen and king were going to get a divorce. The news of her parents' fate was overshadowed, however, when Miwa, although young, proved to be a menace on the battlefield. Miwa wasn't even old enough to speak, but the Key's hyper energy allowed her to completely dismantle Hitteki's forces and just win the war for them.

Although Unmei was victorious, SKy and Rox split, leaving morale rather low when it came to Miwa's parents. Miwa herself, though? She was a hit, and she was still a child! This overflowing respect from the civillians led Miwa to, as she grew up, have a massive love for her father, who she was staying with. Miwa would spend the next few years learning, training, and solving political problems to impress her father... and boy, would she get the opportunity when another Key host, Max Irvaron, showed up in her kingdom.

Personality
Miwa is a very no-nonsense person. She's always wanted to improve herself, but if someone doesn't have a higher status than her or she doesn't have a high respect for them, she's not afraid of chewing them out to better themselves, too. Miwa is prone to being rather critical, both of herself and others; after all, she grew up being the most respected person in the kingdom, and she's always felt that burden, like she has to live up to what the public thinks of her or else she's a disappointment and overall failure. You kow, normal princess thoughts.

Miwa has a large sense of professionalism that seems to be her default attitude, however. Due to living as a highly-respected princess, Miwa is used to people expecting the calm, reserved, role model, and she constantly performs as such. Miwa tries her hardest to still maintain tat same sense of professionalism in day-to-day life, but she simply finds herself unable to, due to feeling like she needs some time to relax.

This leads into Miwa's next aspect; she bottles up a lot of her thoughts. She grew up thinking that she had to fit into a certain archetype, and that if she went ouside of that archetype it'd simply be horrible for everyone. Because of this, Miwa often denies her true self a chance of expression besides for when she's alone - she thinks all it takes is one mistake to bring her down, and not only would that disappoint the kingdom, it'd also embarrass her father, and Miwa thinks that she'd even tarnish the entire Shi name if she messed up once.

Miwa likes to think that she's a realist, but to be honest, she's far more of a non-violent extremist. When it comes to expecting what other kingdoms will do in political circumstances, while she certainly factors in the chance of it not going well, she often defaults to either "Everything will go exactly as planned!" or "THIS WILL ALL BE A DISASTER!!!1!" Not only this, when it comes to her more respected role models, such as her father, Miwa often lets herself be clouded by bias - in fact, this is why she holds no ill will towards him for experimenting on her, because she's always just looked up to him to a point where anything less would result in Miwa feeling absolute betrayal.

Because she has such high expectations for herself and others, Miwa is very studious, often neglecting fun or enjoyment to instead take time to read an informative nonfiction book or learn about the various qualities of life in Unmei. Miwa strives for more knowledge about several things, and this mindset is one that she both picked up from her father and assumed that's what the public would want in a princess.

Miwa often feels - and to an extent, is - isolated. After all, to the public, she's a myth, and in her opinion, she must be the guiding light for them. Due to this combination of reputations, she finds it far simpler to not make friendships, as that could result in her slipping up or making bad qualities that'd apply to her royal life. However, after befriending Jack Shokku and learning how to deal with Max's gang, Miwa became much more laid-back, and is far more adept in social situations.
