GENERAL/STORY:
A lonely girl of
mysterious origins, even to herself, Mina had a sentimental connection
to the village she lived in, though she didn't talk to the people that
much. After going demon hunting for a while, she returned to find her village
totally destroyed, and everyone slaughtered. The only survivor was her
pet, Champuru, who was the only person she cared about. (Note: I have no
freaking clue what Champuru is.) Upon traveling to find the ones who destroyed
her village, she learns about an evil presence in Japan. She hunts it down,
looking for answers.
She was born with
a strong spiritual power. Due to this, she was separated from her family
and was raised to be a Kaminchu(a goddess). But because her spiritual powers
were so strong, she was feared by her own villagers and became the outcast
of her village. Slowly and slowly, she had forgotten how to smile. Her
only friend was her pet Champuru.
Apparently, Champuru
was the one who destroyed her village. She killed Champuru to avenge the
death of her villagers but also killed
herself
so she can be with Champuru forever.

REVIEW:
The Samurai Shodown
series never had an archer, and since archers played a pretty important
role in the time of the samurai, I'd say it was a novel idea to finally bring
one into the series. Though Mina herself is a sexy and cool design, why the hell
did they decide to make that... that little..... THING follow her around??? It kinda
looks like that little thing from Please Teacher... I hated that
thing.
And I hate this thing too... Yeah, I know it's name is Champuru, and no it's NOT
cute. Don't let it fool you, it's a creepy-alien-baby looking-thing that'll stab
you in the back when you're not looking, and it destroys villages
(according to her story). So who's stupid idea was that?! 
Those silly Japanese. *sigh* Enough ranting... I just strongly feel she would
have been a much more effective design in the series without
Champuruururu. Yeah.
