Hand to hand - She has specialized in fighting unarmed, training her martial arts to effectively compensate the lack of an actual weapon.

Agility - She has trained and developed an extremely agile and quick fighting style, training her speed, reflexes, agility, flexibility and precision, mostly due to the fact she doesnt use a weapon, and therefore, cant parry attacks and is forced to dodge them.


A B I L I T I E S [inborn/Devil Fruit powers, special techniques]

Neko Neko no Mi - The fruit allows her to develop characteristics of a snow leopard, giving her a very feline appearance, but also giving her improved physical attributes. She firstly acquires retractable claws, but more importantly, gains a massive increase in her speed, agility and reflexes, this fruit doesnt increase her physical strength but compensates it by focusing entirely on agility. Her physical attributes are influenced by the state of her own body, being capable of growing stronger and more effective if she strengthes herself first, but also can be made ineffective in the hands of an inexperienced user. She also gains increased senses of smell and hearing.

Three step acceleration - This is the main ability of the fruit, it is focused not only on speed and agility, but also acceleration, one can only use the fruit's full speed by perfoming short bursts, as they are too quick to be mantained for long. This ability consists of a three gear acceleration, activated by contact with the ground. The first step resembles the popular Soru, as it allows the user to flicker forwards at high velocity from stasis. Upon stepping a second time the speed is doubled, but it requires a certain distance to allow the user to step a second time while in motion. The third step, however, is a much greater hop in comparison to the second step, it will raise the speed by three times, but it will sacrifice her manuverability, making it extremely difficult to stop and even more so to manipulate her trajectory, it is meant for very short bursts and brief point-to-point movement.

Kenbunshoku - This is the color she has developed the most, focusing most of her training on it, it is essential for her due to the nature of her abilities, she mostly uses it to guide herself when moving at high speeds, and so, has trained it to the point she can constantly maintain awareness of her surroundings and the movement of those around her.

Busoshoku - She has only developed this color minorly, just enough to give her physical attacks a certain edge and penetration, either by hardening her claws or hands and feet but the area she can harden is limited to about that size, making her unable to harden entire limbs.

Miril was born in a rich family, she never encountered hardships in her life, never had to struggle or fight for her survival. Her parents provided her with scholarity and taught her the more intellectual side of life, as she was to one day take their place. That was the only world Miril knew for a long time, yet she could feel deep within her that something wasnt right, she lived in comfort and had everything she could ask for, but she wasnt happy, something was definitely missing, yet she didnt know what. Miril spent 8 years of her life in great confusion, seeking the answer to that question.

However, at 8 years of age something happened that would forever mark her and change the way she saw the world. A very important package arrived for her parents, it was worth millions and millions of berries, they were going to make a fortune selling it, as they intended. However, that was sure to draw attetnion, and soon, the package was stolen even with all the security they had hired. Miril, however, saw the thief running out of the house and promptly followed him. She eventually got to the outskirts of the city and into one of the large sewer galleries under the city.

Miril quickly realized that was probably how the thief got in, using some subterranean access no one was aware of, and then, she noticed how the thief was able to squeeze in through the pipes, it was a boy about her age dirty, wearing torn clothes, absolutely miserably poor. She walked in right as the boy was curled against a wall, surrounded by men holding clubs, swords and pistols, pirates. Apparently the boy had no idea what he had stolen but the pirates very much did and were demanding it from him. The boy obviously didnt want to give it to them, he wanted to sell whatever was in the box for money to buy food, but that was quickly met with a brutal beating from the pirates.

Miril didnt waste time, she quickly rushed over to the crowd, sneaking unnoticed due to her size and suddenly pouncing through them and grabbing the fruit which the boy had just dropped. Dumbfounded, the pirates stared at her as she shouted they would have to catch her if they wanted it and promptly darted off. What she didnt expect, however, was for another group of pirates to be standing right at the first corner she turned, promptly meeting her face with a closed fist as soon as she turned. The violence was immedeately turned upon her, yet she refused to let go of the box, clutching it between her limbs as if her life depended on it. That was the moment she had realized the nature of the world she was living in, she wasnt protecting the box because it was her family's property, she was protecting it because she saw how desperately the boy tried to keep it, she saw his tears of despair as he was beaten by people who wanted to steal his last hope.

However, as strong as Miril's determination was, it wasnt stronger than the crowd of pirates that were mercilessly beating her, she felt her broken body starting to give in, soon she wouldnt be able to move anymore. She was on her fours over the box, her whole body was numb by now, but she had to do something or she was going to lose it. So she quickly acted, she carefully opened the box and reached inside, pulling out the object as discreetly as she could and slipping it into her clothes. As soon as she did so, she slumped down onto the ground and let go of the box, faking to have lost consciousness.

Victorious, the pirates grumbled and retrieved the box, stepping away from her and immedeately handing it to the captain. This was her last hope, the only way she could stop them from taking it was if they went away without checking, but to her horror, she watched as the captain held the box infront of him self, raising his hands to open it. She immedeately sprung up from the ground, using her last bit of energy to try and run, but it was too late, the pirates all looked at her furiously, converging towards her from every direction.

That was when Miril decided that if she couldnt have it then they wouldnt either and immedeately retrieved the object. Much to her surprise, it was a fruit, all that work for just a fruit, maybe it was a really rare fruit she thought. That didnt matter, though, as the choice became clear, she promptly shoved the fruit in her mouth and ate as quick as she could. Seconds later, another fist crashed into her face. This time she pissed them off for real.

Everything became a blur to her, all she could remember was pain and her life slipping away with every brutal strike. She was surprised they didnt just cut her head off, but figured they wanted to savor killing her slowly. At one point she blacked out completly, convinced it was her end. However she woke up, days later, in a warm soft bed, a hospital. In time she was told the boy who she was trying to help got the marines and brought them before the pirates could kill her, but something had happened, maybe out of adrenaline from being beaten so close to death, or an attempt at self defense, she had shifted, grown fur, ears, a tail, claws. It was only then her parents explained what the fruit really was, it was a Devil Fruit.

Eight years passed and she was still in cat form, for some reason she was absolutely unable to shift back, she had spent all this time training her power in order to try and gain full control over them, but she never really managed. By now, however, she didnt care, infact, she loved it, she had gotten more than used to being a cat, it became a form more natural to her than her previous human form. But fate was about to strike her once more. It was so sudden she thought she was dreaming, her parents had died, both of them, their ship caught in a conflict between pirates, one of the ships was sinking and the pirates quickly boarded their vessel, aiming to use it to escape. However, the other crew wasnt nearly as merciless and attacked them, killing everyone in the ship.

She spent weeks grieving, not sure what to do about her life, the job of running her parent's business had fallen to her but she realized she never wanted that. She then came to the conclusion that she had to seek whatever life she thought was right, and she wasnt going to make anything right by building a giant pile of money. She proceeded to donate everything she had to charity and joined the marines, she was going to fight so that the things she experienced never happened to anyone else.

Three years later she had worked her way high in the ranks, rear admiral, much to thank to her Devil Fruit, which she now had attained control over. But even if she could revert her form, now what felt natural to her was her zoan form, and so, she only switched back in rare occasions.
