Bio: Mina is the energetic young solder in Shinra's Attack Squad #247. She serves as the second in command in her unit. She was actually born while her mother was visiting her husband in Shinra HQ, some believing this is why she was so passionate about enlisting in Shinra. Others believe it is to follow in her father's footsteps. Either way, Mina wholeheartedly follows the orders of her commanding officers and pours all of her energy into aiding Shinra. Mina is a fine solder, though she believes her gender keeps her from the ranks of SOLDER. Though she lacks the proper mindset for SOLDER or even for a Turk, she is entrusted with experimental "Mako Daggers," weapons with blades made of Mako energy that can cut almost anything. Mina is an extreme sports nut, participating in everything from bowling to wrestling to golf to skiing. Mina puts all of her life into the Shinra army, which may be her major fault. Her anxiety and hyperactivity can have negative affects, even if it is her greatest strength. Somewhere amidst her training, Mina became physically paranoid. Any major physical contact causes her to put the person in a submission hold. Some trace it to her athletic prowess at wrestling, but this is again just speculation. Overall, Mina's age and appearance make her seem harmless, but she is a valuable solder in Shinra's forces.
