Bio:
The daughter of Soular, formerly a senator of Seido banished to Earthrealm for daring to speak out against the Seidan regime’s treatment of it’s indentured class and Eas; his wife. Miki grew up in exile in Earthrealm where she became childhood friends with the Momozonos. Her beauty was noted at an early age and she landed modelling gigs, though her looks means that she has to ask her friends to act as escorts to avoid being hit on.
One day, she encountered a strange key like creatre that fell onto her mobile phone and converted it into a strange device together with a bear like creature and a ferret creature. The ferret creature identified itself as Tarte, the prince of the Sweets Kingdom (a tribute state of Seido) and the bear creature as Chiffon and that she has been chosen to protect Chiffon from evil. Initally refusing at first, her protecting her friends and family from some Black Dragon thugs awakened her powers as Cure Berry, the Heart of Hope. Fighting off her family’s attackers, Miki accepted the role of being a PreCure.
To help master her powers as a Cure, Miki gained the aid of the Shaolin to train her. Accompanying Liu Kang’s chosen champions into Outworld, she would be drawn into a conspiracy by Titan Shang Tsung.
