Extended exposure to loud noises, or sudden jumps in noise volume causes her to freak out and tear out at her hair.

Despite her tragic past, Miku has a cheery personality, being rather optimistic and excitable in most situations. She also has a lot of energy which she mostly spends on her training.

She also has a competitive mindset and enjoys every opportunity to compete with others, but due to the city being locked down, that chance doesn’t come up often.

While Miku excels in physical activities, she struggles with mental tasks and studying.

Miku is also insecure about her body.

She also gets nervous whenever her hairstyle changes and feels uncomfortable in feminine clothes, like dresses.

'Miku has a hard time figuring out when to stop talking. In fact, I don’t think she has figured it out even once. She has far too much energy for her own good and constantly needs to be reminded to either quiet down or stop running in circles around the classroom. She excels in physical education and is arguably the strongest player on the school’s soccer team. When it comes to every other class or subject, however, she needs a significant amount of additional coaching. Thankfully she’s very close with Makoto and seems to care deeply about making her happy.'
— Sensei's notes
