Miranjo

Miranjo (ミランジョ) is a mage originally from the Kingdom of Houmas, and a mysterious advisor to King Bosse, starting before he was even a king. She is the source of many of the strange events happening in the Bosse Kingdom.

Appearance
Miranjo is a small woman with black hair, black eyes, and pale skin. By her own admission Miranjo's appearance was mostly the result of sorcery, due to her being disfigured as a child by residents of Gyakuza. She preferred to keep her face hidden beneath a dark green hooded cloak. Miranjo cinched her cloak with a blue metal pin, and wore dark green robes beneath it.

At some point in the past Miranjo became the Magic Mirror. This likely occurred due to the arrow shot through her chest after being betrayed by mercenaries she hired to kill, presumably, both Bojji and Sheena. While her body has since been frozen to preserve it, she is currently trapped in the Magic Mirror.

Personality
Prior to Gyakuza's betrayal, Miranjo was raised to be a very kindhearted young girl. Since then, she has become a reserved and manipulative individual set on achieving her own goals, as seen in her guise as the Magic Mirror constantly manipulating Prince Daida. While her personality has changed in many ways, she still likes kind people, as shown with her support and help training Apis into a Heavenly King.

She seems to be in love with King Bosse due to their shared past, and that love is apparently reciprocated. She has even gone so far as to try to manipulate Daida into consuming a potion that would resurrect King Bosse into his body. When her trickery did not work she resorted to forcing the potion on Daida instead.

Several flashbacks show Miranjo accompanying Bosse on his early adventures. She was present when Bosse struck his bargain with a devil, and is very likely the one who suggested it to him. Miranjo's influence is deeply felt in the Bosse Kingdom, as she served in a high (and potentially secret) position within the Bosse Kingdom after its establishment. She also appears to control the Bosse Kingdom's secret gateway to the Underworld.While trapped within his own body, Daida encountered a strange spectre that seemed to be a younger version of Miranjo. This spectre appears to acknowledge Daida's actions as resembling that of King Bosse, and seems comforted in Daida's presence.

Plot
Miranjo was born in Houmas, and for several years lived in relative peace. Sometime either prior to or at the start of Houma's war with the gods, Bosse dueled with and killed her father. Her mother, having an exceptionally kind and forgiving personality, proceeded to heal Bosse. He would from then on fight alongside the Houmas military during their war campaign against the gods, as well as watch over Miranjo and her mother.

When it became apparent that the Kingdom of Houmas would need allies in order to win their war with the gods, Miranjo's mother, acting as one of the representatives of their kingdom, along with Miranjo would travel to the Kingdom of Gyakuza. Within a few years, Gyakuza's civilization would prosper with the aid of Houmas, and both Miranjo and her mother would shortly thereafter moveinto one of the new residences permanently.

The Kingdom of Gyakuza would ultimately betray Houmas when they realized they were fighting a losing war. The representatives sent from Houmas, including Miranjo's mother, were all killed. Miranjo was then captured and tortured. Bosse would learn of their betrayal, and rushed to Gyakuzan to try and protect Miranjo and her mother, where he would find Miranjo chained to a pole, beaten, filthy, and starving. Her hands had been chopped off and her face was mutilated. This led to Bosse slaying dozens of Gyakuzan, no matter their age, whether they ran, or begged for mercy. He then proceed to fill a sack with the corpses, and took them and Miranjo to a physician so she might be restored using their body parts.

Miranjo is a former ally of the Bosse Kingdom who was believed to have died during a rebellion before the start of the series. In reality her consciousness survived, and she continued serving King Bosse as the Magic Mirror.

Together, Bosse and Miranjo have formed elaborate plans for the Bosse Kingdom, including stealing Daida's body and plotting to kill Hilling. These plots are largely motivated by Miranjo, with Bosse feeling obligated but conflicted in playing party to them.

Recently, as a part of their plot, Miranjo released six dangerous criminals from the Underworld. These criminals, Zokku, Gigan, Black, Red, Kingbo, and Ouken were then allowed to imprison the king and take control of the Bosse Kingdom's castle. Miranjo is leading the plot with the goal of overthrowing the Bosse Kingdom and killing Queen Hilling, supposedly so she and Bosse can reclaim their simple, adventurous lifestyles from before the founding of the kingdom.

Advanced Sorcery
Miranjo is a sorceress, and her magic appears to be extremely-powerful. King Desher of the Underworld, upon sensing her magic, remarked that it "stank of death" and was a type of magic believed to be lost. It is possibly demonic in origin, as Miranjo is familiar with Demon, and may even have made a pact with it.

Part of Miranjo's magical ability is the creation and control of puppets as, which she used to create her two silent attendants to help further her plans, as well as a wooden puppet modeled after her human form, though she seems incapable of possessing this puppet for extended periods of time and has limited control of it.

Potion Brewing
Miranjo's magical ability extends to potion-brewing, and she is able to brew exceedingly complex potions that may even resurrect the dead, as she did with King Bosse.

Mind Control
Miranjo can use the magic mirror to cast a spell to control multiple creatures, such as the underworld hounds, when they are looking into it. This also works on people who are mentally broken, such as Ouken due to the side effects of his immortality. Visible signs of being affected by Miranjo's magic include glowing red eyes. She is also able to dispel this magic at any time she chooses, such as after releasing a mouse she possessed to lead Hilling's group to Apis to heal him.

Besides having to look into the magic mirror, there may be other limits to this ability. Some creatures have been able to break free of the spell, as seen in the aftermath of the courtyard battle between Miranjo's and Hilling's forces. Whether it was due to the lethal damage that was taken, loss of consciousness, or Hilling's holy magic is unclear.

Underworld Portal
Miranjo created a portal to the Underworld using the corpse of a member of the Shadow Clan (Kage's people). This portal opened onto a fixed spot in the Underworld's countryside, and was used frequently until its discovery by King Desher. It has since been destroyed by Dormas and Hokuro on orders of King Bosse.
