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.
