CHARACTER
Character Name: Misa Amane
Character Age: 25
Canon: Death Note
Canon Point: Chapter 69
History: Link
Personality: On the surface, Misa seems to have a very straightforward personality: the typical cutesy anime girl. She is hyperactive and wears her emotions on her sleeve, letting everyone know exactly what she thinks and reacting to things in over the top ways. She is very physical, hugging or kissing people when she’s happy and liking to link arms with others while walking; Misa can be seen clinging to Light nearly every time she is with him. However, while she gives off the impression of being an airhead, it is made clear on several occasions that this is partially an act. As a model and actress, Misa cultivated this stage appearance and carries it over to her everyday interactions, leading many people to underestimate her. Her true intellect is seen when she uses her shinigami eyes to discover that Light is Kira without revealing herself to him, and when she tricks Higuchi into giving her evidence to prove that he is Kira. She does truly have ditzy aspects to her personality and is a very emotional person, but often Misa carefully calculates how much innocence and charm to exude in different situations.
Misa is fiercely loyal, to the point where she will do anything that Light says (except, she claimed, for letting him date other girls— but despite this she never went through with her threat to kill any of Light’s other women, most notably Kiyomi Takada). This devotion to Light began the first time they spoke, due to what she calls love at first sight. During this meeting Misa stated on multiple occasions that she was fully aware of the fact that Light would only be using her; she simply didn’t care, wanting to help him in any way that she could. Misa was willing to act as Light’s tool as long as he wished while holding onto the faint hope that someday she could make him love her. Beyond this, Light is seen constantly mistreating her, especially as the series goes on and he begins to lose control— he yells at her when he’s frustrated, letting down the calm appearance he projects to other people because he knows that she will accept whatever he does. She is seen unsuccessfully trying to lure him away from work by wearing lingerie twice, and simply flinches when she offers him a drink and he smacks it away, or a question prompts him to yell at her to shut up. Despite her naturally loud and overbearing nature, when it comes to Light, Misa is utterly subservient.
In spite of all of this, Misa is genuinely happy when she is with Light, and loves him more than anything; when he tells her to quit her career to marry him, Misa agrees in a heartbeat. Nothing is more important to her than earning Light’s love, even after she has convinced herself that he truly loves her. Every task he gives her is completed with the thought “this will make Light love Misa even more!” in mind. Despite functioning well on her own beforehand, Misa completely submits to Light the moment they meet, offering him her Death Note and saying that she will do whatever he says from now on (in exchange for being his girlfriend, a point that she does insist on and gets her way with). In the beginning, this only applies to Kira related things; Misa disobeys Light quite a few times, coming to see him when he told her not to and arguing with him, but eventually this spreads to apply to every part of their relationship. While she is completely devoted from the start, Light only grows more and more important in Misa’s world over their years together, until there is room for little else. Her obsession strengthens as they continue to interact, to the point where there is very nearly nothing that she wouldn’t do for Light. Light says jump, Misa says how high?
Beyond simply being loyal to Light, Misa is completely devoted to the entity that is Kira. Before knowing of Light’s existence, she was determined to find Kira due to regarding him as her savior. Misa’s parents were killed before her eyes by a robber, and she watched as the murderer’s trial was put off until it looked like he would be released; she wished that she could kill him, but didn’t know how or what to do. Kira appeared to her like a god of divine justice, killing the robber for her, and Misa devoted herself to him heart and soul, wanting to show her gratitude. This consumes her to the point where she thinks nothing of taking an innocent life in order to achieve her objective; after getting her Death Note, Misa kills several police officers that get in her way and immediately offers to kill her friend if Light wants her to without another thought. Despite continuing to believe in Kira’s ideals— namely, that criminals should be punished to make a new world filled with only good people— when it comes to killing, Misa thinks very little of human life. Her ideals often do not match her actions, partially because Misa is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her objectives and partially because no one can compare to how important Light is to her. Misa is very social and can make friends easily, but the rest of the world dwells on a completely different plane of existence from Light. She might legitimately like someone and have feelings for them, but if Light told her to kill that person then she would do it without a hint of hesitation. Even Kira comes second to Light; when Misa loses her memories and does not know that they are one in the same, she states that she looks up to Kira as a savior and supports him, but would willingly help capture him if it was what Light wanted. However, this does not lessen how much she cares about Kira. Light is simply on another level.
While she is intelligent, Misa is also reckless. She is willing to take risks and doesn’t always think things completely through if her emotions distract her. While the men around her depend on cold logic, Misa lives in the moment and is far more dependent on her love for Light and worship of Kira to dictate her actions. She is also extremely willing to sacrifice herself for Light’s sake. It’s hard not to take her claim that she would willingly die for him seriously when she proves it many times over— begging Rem to kill her when L held her captive so that she could not betray Light, after going without food or water for three days. Throwing herself into dangerous situations without a thought toward her own safety, such as introducing herself to Higuchi as the Second Kira with the intention of double-crossing him, despite knowing that he could easily kill her. Halving her lifespan twice in order to be Light’s eyes. Even in the little things, such as walking to a train station alone at night when just a look from Light tells her that he doesn’t want to go, despite the fact that she was attacked by a stalker not a year before in a similar situation. Some of it can be attributed to the fact that she knows Rem will save her, and she also knows that Light is a genius, trusting him to act in her best interest even when she has absolutely no reason to. But a large part of it is simply that she does not stop to think about her own safety when it comes to pleasing Light. Misa is, in every sense of the word, blinded by love.
Inventory: Just the clothes on her back and an elegant looking pen.
Abilities: Misa made the trade for shinigami eyes, which enable her to see the real name and lifespan of living humans, though she does not know how to read the lifespans. This works with videos as well as photos, as long as the majority of the face is not obscured— essentially, if the person is recognizable. If the person is dead, she sees nothing. If the person owns a Death Note, then she will only see their name.
Misa excels in social situations and is very cunning when it comes to manipulating people into getting what she wants.
Flaws: Where to start. Misa is an incredibly chaotic character when it comes down to it, acting on impulse with little regard for the safety of herself or others so long as she gets what she wants. She is a mass murderer for one thing, killing up to a hundred thousand people over a span of five years. Most of them those that she views as evil criminals, though she has no compunctions about killing anyone who gets in her or Light's way. Remove the Death Note from the equation and she is thoroughly declawed where killing is concerned, but her intent and disregard for non-Light human life remains. All this despite considering herself a good person, even a hero, fighting to make the world a better place.
Misa is also manipulative and prone to taking things way too far, such as stalking Light and forcing him to accept her as his girlfriend despite his initial refusal. She excels in drawing someone in with honey only to snap the trap on them. Using her bubbly personality to charm her way into favors and slipping the rug out from under those who consider her stupid are standards in her tool kit.
SAMPLES
Action Log Sample:
Misa draped herself across the new bed with an exuberant smile, eyes traveling around the room for the third time in as many minutes. It wasn’t a spectacular room, by any means; she had stayed in far nicer ones. But it was their room. Not too big, not too small; practical, with sparse furnishings that she thoroughly planned to improve upon in the future, but they spoke of Light in a way that made happy butterflies bubble up through her chest. Right now, it was his room. And she was a part of it. It was enough to bring a squeal of delight to her lips.
She shifted, letting the strap of her sheer pink nightgown slip off her shoulder on one side, and arranged her legs so that the material bunched a little to only barely cover her backside; someone coming through the door might even catch a glimpse of her matching panties. And so, she waited. It was only a few minutes before she heard the tell-tale sound of a key scraping against the lock; her heart skipped a beat.
“Welcome home, Darling!”
Misa grinned, posing just so as Light entered the room, closing the door behind him. He glanced at her, and glanced away. Her heart fell a bit at the disinterest in his eyes, as it always did, but that only lasted a second; Light was tired from a long day at work, of course. She could comfort him, it was her job make sure that he was nice and relaxed for their first night in a place of their own.
“Hello, Misa.” It came out like an afterthought, but that was okay; her Light really worked too hard. He was already at his desk, setting down folders containing far too many boring words and pictures for anyone to mull over for long.
“Aren’t you coming to bed?” she prompted as he pulled out the chair. He paused a moment, before sitting down.
“I have a lot of work to do.”
Misa pouted, jutting out her lower lip in a way that she knew would have to make him come over if he would just turn around to see it. But he didn’t, so she pushed herself onto her knees and sat up, watching his back.
“But Light, it’s our first night together here,” she all but purred, loving the way the words sounded. Sharing a room, sharing a bed; finally. He was all hers. Misa sat back, resting on her elbows and stretching her legs out in front of her. “Misa thought that we could… sleep together.”
She smiled, a happy flush coloring her cheeks as Light finally turned around to see her spread out before him. There was the briefest moment where it looked like he sighed— but then he was smiling, and making his way toward her. He leaned over her, had to lean over her to put his hands on her shoulders, and it felt like sparks covered her skin at the contact. Misa’s smile turned coy as she looked up at him.
“Misa, I have things that I have to do; I’m acting as both L and Kira now, you know how important it is that I maintain both of those roles to achieve our new world. You go to sleep, alright?”
“But Light,” she protested, moving a bare leg to brush against his. “It’s—”
He cut her off with a kiss, lips suddenly interrupting her flow of words, and she melted into it without another thought of complaint, letting her eyes flutter shut. It was all too soon when he pulled back again, fixing her with that look he gave her when he was begging her to be reasonable. Misa barely saw it, eyes still half lidded and mind swimming.
“Go to sleep.”
“Okay,” she muttered, smiling at him through hazy eyes. Her whole body felt warm from the prolonged touch— his hands were still resting against her bare shoulders. “Misa will be a good girl.”
Light nodded, moving away from her without another word and leaving her to lie back on the bed in a state of near ecstasy. Watching his back as he worked. The warmth left her eventually, and she crawled under the covers, waiting.
He was still working when she fell asleep.
