Mina Tepes

Mina's child form is in a prepubescent stage around 10 years old (due to awakening her vampire powers early; her growth was slowed for several centuries). She has crimson eyes, fangs, and blond hair. Her hair is usually tied up in twin tails with three, black-tailed, identical ribbons used as the bands/hair ties to hold them up. At certain times, her long hair hangs down like when she is sleeping in Akira's room, in the train station, or when she is not dressed in Gothic Lolita (except in her long-sleeved night gown). The form of dress she uses in her childhood is that of Gothic Lolita. In the third series, Mina wears more modern and casual clothes, often sleeveless tops and shorts for good mobility.

Mina's true form is that of a stunningly beautiful adult woman. While facially she changes very little, her body becomes that of a mature and voluptuous woman who is usually seen nude. However, Mina can generate a dark ebony substance that hardens along the outside of her limbs, creating makeshift boots and claws; it even just barely covers her below the waist. Her adult form has long blond hair that goes past her shoulders.

Though she can appear to be cold and harsh when dealing with others, Mina cares very much about the Bund. She is also really strong-willed, refusing to back down even when her life is at stake, and will not hesitate to resort to blackmail, violence, extortion, or any other illicit tactics to ensure the safety of the Bund and the preservation of the vampire species. Mina is very skilled at not expressing any thoughts or emotions on her face. She accepts the advice of only a few trusted people, but she more often than not, retains sole control of a situation. She does have a softer side though, which is often shown around her personal guardian and lover Akira Kaburagi. When together, she acts more playful and youthful--like an actual twelve-year-old girl. However, she is prone to become jealous and petty about Akira. Initially, she was very mean towards Yuki, another girl in love with Akira, and was very jealous of the connection she had with him, to the point where she stole a ring that Yuki had given to Akira and told Yuki that Akira had given it to her. She is prone to testing his loyalty and love and several times, she has purposefully put herself in a precarious situation, telling him the choice is his whether to save her or leave.

On one occasion, she forces him to fight her in her true form when his loyalty to her is put into question. Nevertheless, she is very protective of Akira and becomes enraged when his life is threatened. She will sometimes push him away and refuse to explain things to him to keep him safe or allow him some peace of mind, like when she blackmailed one of Japan's leaders by having his grandson bitten. Mina seems to show Yuki a calm and teasing side to her after her fight with Akira and now is best friends with her. She even gave Yuki her ring back but Yuki told her to keep it.
