HISTORY


Mint is a rich girl who was used to the lifestyle until she became infused with the DNA of a Blue Lorikeet . At first she is shocked and has no idea what to do and Ichigo guides her along. But quickly accepts her being a Mew Mew and realizes the tasks she needs to do.


Anime


''Tokyo Mew Mew''


Mint's introduction in episode two ("") is a little different from her manga introduction. Ichigo never meets her and her other comrades until this episode. Mint gives her a handkerchief after her dog, Mickey, licks Ichigo's face, and Ichigo later follows her to her house when Masha detects something strange; she was going to look for a Chimera Anima, not to find out if Mint is the second Mew Mew. Also, Ryou never tells Ichigo that Mint is her comrade - it only becomes apparent when her Mew Mark is revealed before the battle when her dress was ripped in the back.



''Mew Mew Power''

Corina also appears in the second episode of the anime, called "Mew Two" (which may be a reference to the Pokémon , 2007 Her character changes slightly, for she acts like a bit of a neat freak and is more obsessed about not talking to people below her social rank.


PERSONALITY


Mint can be mean, lazy, snobbish, and at times, very sarcastic. One of the only people Mint is nice to is Zakuro Fujiwara, as she admires Zakuro very much. Her favorite thing in the world is her pet dog Mickey, whom she really cares for. Mint enjoys having her Afternoon Tea and rarely helps out at the cafe. Although Mint may seem like a snob, she really is empathetic, brave and a nice person and cares about her friends. Her feelings are very important to her and can easily be hurt. She is often seen drinking tea at work, calling it her "daily ritual", instead of helping others.


FAMILY

Mint's family is rich and lives in a Mansion . Her mother and father are almost never home, and her grandmother has to look after her.

She has a brother named who appeared in episode nine, and not in the manga. He is older, and more serious then Mint. He doesn't spend much time with her, because he has to deal with some important and difficult things, like Business . Because of this, he once called Mint "lucky", because she only does Ballet . The Mews met him in the episode, but he didn't pay much attention, due to him being busy. When Mint was to perform ballet, she wanted Seiji to come, but he was busy again and couldn't attend, even the Mews tried to persuade him. When he finally came, however, Mint told him to get back to work, making him angry. As Seiji was leaving, a Chimera Anima attacked them. Mint scolded the monster for hurting her brother, who tried to protect her. After she and Mew Ichigo defeated the Chimera Anima, Seiji gave his sister some flowers to show he still cares for her.


ROMANIZATION

In the Japanese version of the manga, Mint's name is written in , 2007 Due to the difference being different writing systems, this was omitted in the English version of the manga, as English has only one writing system. Because of this, fans who have only seen the English version could find it odd how no one found out her identity.

  • Love interest: Although Mint is a huge fan of Zakuro and is seen many times snuggling up to Zakuro's arm, it does not seem to be because of love, maybe admiration possibly due to Zakuro's high social status, although in one episode where Zakuro betrays the Mew Mews, Mint is forced to fight her, and shouts "I loved you! I really loved you!" to Zakuro.Episode 43. However, this is most likely a sisterly or Platonic Love , as Mint always refers to Zakuro as "onee-sama", due to cultural differences between Japan and America. But she does look up to her a lot, is a bit obsessed with her, and wants to be like her, similar to a Fangirl . Mint has no sure love interest in the manga and anime.

CONTENT NOTES
