History

On the morning of March 24th, 1997, Kyoto awoke to a sky so brilliantly blue it seemed to bless the world below. It was on this day, in the quiet elegance of the Kondo family estate, that the long-awaited daughter was born: Miona Mielle Harumichi Kondo. Her name — Harumichi, meaning “the brightest sky” — was chosen to reflect that day, as if even the heavens had parted to welcome her. Her grandfather, overcome with quiet joy, gifted her the English name Miona — “the dearest one” — for she was the precious light after generations of sons.Miona’s family was anything but ordinary. Her father, Toshiro Kondo, was both legend and enigma: the vampire founder and oyabun of the Aizu-Kai, one of Japan’s most ancient and quietly feared crime syndicates. Known for his efficient brutality and unshakable sense of honor, Toshiro had lived a life that few could imagine, once among the last true samurai, now the shadowed hand guiding power behind Kyoto’s polite society.Her mother, Hotaru Tomoe Kondo, carried a different but equally formidable legacy. Owner of the prestigious Mugen Academy, a sanctuary for gifted humans and non-humans, and an angel investor whose influence rippled across Asia’s brightest start-ups. Born a veela princess, Hotaru embodied the allure and quiet strength of her heritage; a woman whose soft voice could calm storms, yet whose presence could unsettle boardrooms and ancient clans alike.Though their names never graced glossy billionaire lists, the Kondo family lived in discreet grandeur: a sprawling estate hidden among Kyoto’s ancient woods, where tradition met quiet luxury.
And in that house, Miona grew not as a sheltered heiress, but as a child cocooned in fierce love.Even with parents whose responsibilities spanned empires of influence, Miona never felt abandoned. When Toshiro was away handling syndicate matters, Hotaru would pause everything to sit by her daughter’s side. When Hotaru traveled across continents, Toshiro, ever the indulgent father, would teach Miona archery or recite stories of old samurai nights. And when both were absent, Grandpa Kang, the Tomoe family’s devoted head butler, filled the halls with warmth, guiding Miona and her brothers with the calm of old, loyal wisdom.She was the youngest of the Kondo children; the adored little sister in a house bustling with the energy of her elder brothers. With Cassian and Ezio, Miona shared a spirited rivalry: laughter mixed with playful quarrels, the dynamic dance of three competitive hearts. But it was Hiruma, the gentle middle child, who held a piece of her soul — his kindness a soft anchor amid the sometimes-rough tides of the Kondo household.Yet the world their parents built could not keep all darkness away. When Miona was seven, an enemy of Toshiro struck. The siblings were abducted and attacked, a single night of horror that stole Hiruma’s life and shattered the innocence of those who survived. The cost of legacy, paid in blood. In grief, Hotaru sent Ezio to Korea under the name Ezio Orson Kang, hidden with Grandpa Kang to live unseen by enemies. But Miona, too young to disappear, and Cassian, too vital to the family, remained under their parents’ protective shadow.In the aftermath of loss, fate brought an unexpected bond. One day, Toshiro returned home from the field, his coat stained with battle, carrying a quiet, hollow-eyed boy of five. Half-vampire, half-werewolf, the child bore an uncanny resemblance to Miona — as if the gods themselves had sculpted him as her twin in male form. It was Miona, with her bright gaze and fearless heart, who crossed the silent distance between them, taking his small hand in hers and announcing to the household:“He’s my baby brother. Look, Mama, he looks just like me.”Thus, Katsuki became the Kondo’s youngest child. In that moment, blood ties mattered less than love.From infancy, Miona’s veela-vampire heritage manifested fiercely. Her hazel eyes turned crimson when hunger stirred, and she bit without understanding, tasting her parents’ blood before she could form full sentences. Only after her tenth birthday did she learn to master that thirst, shaping discipline from wild instinct.To outsiders, Miona appeared perfect: the prodigy child with a graceful bow, a soft smile, and accomplishments that glittered like jewels. But behind closed doors, she was simply Mochiko; the girl who skipped barefoot through hidden gardens, the daughter who whispered secrets into her mother’s lap, and the little sister who still set an extra place for the brother they lost.Ballet was her first love, a dance begun at age two. By her teens, she had risen to become a prima ballerina, moving across stages with an elegance that made audiences hold their breath. But destiny intervened yet again: an accident shattered her left ankle, ending her career in an instant. From grief, she pivoted, driven by a different calling: medicine.After college, she moved to Seoul, partly to outrun a name that haunted her heart: Aizu Isami. Once her childhood friend, Isami had grown into a quiet, magnetic man; a half-vampire, half-kawahime whose presence unsettled the walls Miona had built around her heart. Enrolling at Seoul National University Medical School, she chose the trauma field — an ironic path for someone born of blood. To keep her vampiric nature safely hidden, Hotaru cast a binding spell that locked away Miona’s fangs, leaving her to live outwardly as fully human from age fifteen onward.Healing began in unexpected ways. After her rescue, Hotaru took in Quinn and Tyler Matsumura, the children of her late best friend, and Miona embraced them fiercely, becoming their shield and light.Fate wove its threads tighter when Miona and Isami met again through family ties. Behind polite smiles, old memories sparked into new fire. After their “three dates rule,” Miona could no longer hide what she felt. With all her courage, she confessed:“You were made for me, weren’t you?”Isami, steady and gentle as always, asked her to be his girlfriend, and Miona said yes.On her 27th birthday, surrounded by cherry blossoms in Jinhae, Miona knelt first. With her family, friends, and beloved pets hiding nearby, she proposed. His whisper of “yes” became the most precious sound she’d ever heard.They wed on May 5th, 2024, in a magical ceremony on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Aizu Isami and Aizu Harumichi — two healers, two heirs of hidden worlds, united not just by love, but by shared scars, strength, and hope.After graduating top of her class and completing residency, Miona joined her husband as a trauma surgeon fellow at his hospital. Their home, nestled on a mountainside 45 minutes from Seoul, is filled with laughter, quiet moments, and their beloved animals: Cotton the Samoyed, Cowdy the kitten, Toshizo the lion, and Rachel the tiger.On January 5th, 2025, winter blessed them with their greatest gift: a baby boy they named Yukiko; the snow child, born under the same bright sky that once welcomed his mother.And so lives Miona Mielle Harumichi Kondo; the daughter of a vampire and a veela, a survivor of loss and violence, a healer who carries scars no one sees, and a woman whose love, in the end, proved braver than fear. Her story is still being written page by page, heartbeat by heartbeat, beneath the sky she was named for.
