Mitsuru has long red hair that covers over her left eye. Mitsuru wears a white furcoat over a black skintight catsuit. She carries her rapier at her side when it's not in use and keeps her evoker in an holster. Mitsuru's eyes are red. The rapier that Mitsuru carries glows red in combat. Mitsuru has a no nonsense yet kind personality. As the leader of the Shadow Operatives she takes her job very seriously in keeping both her team and innocent people safe from the threat of Shadows. She also regrets her family's history as the Kirijo group has committed unethical experiments involving people, personas and Shadows and wishes to make up for her family's sins. In battle Mitsuru is calm and focused, yet feared for her 'executions' by other people. However, while she is fond of her nickname she only views these executions as a means to an end and does not put too much stock in them herself. She keeps a critical eye on her teammates, and offers advice on how they can improve whenever she can. Mitsuru sometimes says singular words in french. Mitsuru is an expert swordswoman and an brilliant leader. In combat she uses her Persona Artemisia. Mitsuru is capable of summoning her Persona. She utilizes her evoker to summon i Personas aren't truly sentient and are silent, as they are part of the individual that summons them. Mitsuru's persona is Artemisia. Artemisia is an ice type Persona. She is completely silent but serves Mitsuru willingly whenever she is summoned. Artemisia attacks her opponents with a chain sword and is capable of using ice type attacks such as Bufula, Bufudyne, Mabufala as well as other skills such as Tentarafoo. Mitsuru has a positive relationship with all the Shadow Operatives. She is closest to Akihiko due to their shared history and is on a first name basis with him. Mitsuru is also close with Yukari as they helped comfort one another in the past. Mitsuru and Aegis are also close as teammates and friends. She respects Naoto Shirogane for her brilliant detective skills. Yu Narukami reminds Mitsuru of the former S.E.E.S leader and she respects him for that. Mitsuru was one of the founding members of S.E.E.S, and was their leader. She worked with S.E.E.S to investigate the Dark Hour and stop Nyx. This came at the cost of S.E.E.S' field leader Makoto Yuki. She and the rest of S.E.E.S also battled Erebus shortly after.

As head of the Kirijo Group she formed the Shadow Operatives and worked to protect people from Shadows and Persona related threats. She along with Akihko and Aigis went to Yasoinaba to track down an stolen Anti Shadow Weapon named Labrys. They wound up going into the TV world, meeting the Investiation Team and becoming involved in the P-1 Grand Prix. Working with the Investigation team they were able to defeat Shadow Labrys, and free Labrys from the TV world. Labrys joined the Shadow Operatives after this event.

A few days later Mitsuru, Akihiko, Aigis, and Fuuka were shown to be kidnapped and crucified on top of a new Tartarus. They were eventually freed, and by working with the reserve Shadow Opertives as well as the Investigation Team they were able to defeat Hi-No-Kagusitchi. Akihiko: "Mitsuru... You know what we have to do." He punched his fist into his palm, cricking his neck as he did so. Mitsuru: "Yeah. It's time we demonstrate our resolve." Mitsuru drew her rapier as she readied herself for battle. The battle was over in a quick and decisive fashion, and she would sheathe her rapier. "Your training seems to be paying off, Akihiko." Akihiko: "I can't stay in one place forever. And neither can you, Mitsuru." A grin formed on his face as he chuckled. "Fighting together again, just like old tmes." Mitsuru: Allowing a small smile of her own to form she would speak as well. "Whenever I'm with you, I feel driven to reach greater heights... I guess the word "rivals" suits us well."

Aegis: "I have a new objective. Intercepting and eliminating the targets." Her hand would twirl in a 360 degree motion as she readied for battle. Mitsuru: "No need to hold back. I expect good things from you." The battle soon began, and it wasn't long before they defeated their opponents. Aegis: "Just as the data predicted, Mitsuru-san." As she spoke Aegis would begin her cooldown, having to use her Origia mode in that fight did wear her down. Mitsuru: "Magnifique. Brilliantly done." Quickly complimenting Aegis she sheathed her rapier. Aegis: Turning to face Mitsuru she would smile. "I am no longer alone. And I'm sure the other Shadow Operatives feel the same way." Mitsuru: Her own smile formed on her face. "The time you've spent and the trust you've built with us will not betray you. You have no need to fear."

Mitsuru: "It seems the usual approach won't cut it. I'm counting on you, Shirogane." Naoto: "Leave it to me. Just follow the plan." She said, drawing her revolver. The fight was soon over. "We win... You underestimated us." Mitsuru: "Hmph. We're not so green that we'd miss an opening. You took us lightly. You judged us by our appearance and you lost." Naoto: "Never judge a book by its cover. Investigation and battle are fundamentally the same."

Mai: "Th-That's quite the outfit...Are you going to fight in that?" Mai looked on in shock at Mitsuru's appearance. Mitsuru: "It's suited for battle, despite its appearance." She was confident, unphased by what she was wearing. Mai: Soon enough the match was over. "Thank you for the match!" Mitsuru: "Indeed, that worked out nicely." Turning to face Mai she would smile. "Brilliant. Your combat skills are honed through long years of training. Once you learn to make informed decisions based on your physical condition, you will improve further." Mai: She couldn't help but laugh nervously. "Th-Thank you very much! I'll keep working on it! (I've gotta stop moving like I still have a guy's body...)"

Hilda: She would float down, the darkness surrounding her. It would disperse as she finally landed. "Show me why they call you the Queen of Execution." Hilda spoke with a teasing tone. Mitsuru: "I certainly will try to... Now let's go!" Hilda: After the fight she looked at their defeated opponents. She couln't help but chuckle. "Ouch. That was grusome, even by my standards." Mitsuru: "I see no need for mercy in battle." Hilda: "Oh?" Turning to face Mitsuru with a smirk she would lean back, resting on a cloud of darkness from her own EXS abilities. "I expected nothing less from the queen. Now, why don't you show me all the different ways you carry out your executions! My body's trembling in anticipation." Mitsuru: She shook her head. "I fear you may be disappointed. I fight to the best of my abilities: nothing more, nothing less. Execution is the means, not the end."
