Miyuki possesses a voluptuous build, hourglass proportions and stands at a fairly normal height for a neko. She also has fair, cream-colored skin that comes as a result of spending the majority of her time indoors or aboard starships. She has striking, violet-colored, almond-shaped eyes. Her face is attractive, with features giving her an apparent age of being in her late teens to early twenties. Like most neko and yamataian's, her features also have an oriental cast to them. Miyuki possesses long, light brown hair that extends down her back as far as her rear, in addition to conical nekovalkyrja ears that are covered by silken brown fur.

Miyuki can be described as sarcastic, arrogant, competitive and has a tendency towards obsessive behaviour in regards to her work and private research. Her self-confidence is not without some justification though, as she is unarguably a brilliant and multi-talented scientist with expertise in many areas.

With her coworkers she generally appears cold and reserved, preferring to work alone – she has a tendency to withdraw herself into whatever scientific facilities are available at her present posting. However, she appears loyal to the Star Army and shows the appropriate level of respect to those above her in the chain of command, obeying orders with minimal resistence unless she perceives a serious flaw in them. Miyuki tends to show more respect to individuals with science, medicine and engineering backgrounds, whilst she looks down upon people who work in other Star Army occupations – such as infantry.

When Miyuki encounters something or someone she finds fascinating she can become considerably more animated and friendly. She also has a bad habit of thinking out loud during complicated research and becomes annoyed when she is interrupted during her investigations or when she has to 'dumb down' her detailed explanations so that those without scientific backgrounds can comprehend her.

• Father: Takagi Hiroshi
• Mother: Takagi Aoi
• Sister: Takagi Asami

Miyuki was born as a Human in the city of Tania, found with the Kyoto Prefecture of Yamatai. The year of her birth was YE 08. Her father Hiroshi was a noted geneticist and her mother Aoi a talented nanomechanical engineer – both of whom worked for the PNUgen Corporation. Even at a young age, Miyuki proved to be intellectually gifted – thus it came as no surprise when she was immediately transferred from Tania Shōgakkō to PNUgen Educational Facility #2 (later known as Star Army Educational Facility #2) once the facility opened in YE 20. There her budding intellect was allowed to prosper, though her interpersonal skills were stunted by the competitive atmosphere between herself and other students.

Despite her youth, Miyuki progressed in her studies at an exceptional, accelerated pace. She graduated from the PNUgen Educational Facility #2 years early and enrolled in the Kyousou Institute of Technology to broaden the base of her knowledge beyond the fields of biology and medicine. By YE 31, she had acquired degrees or otherwise considerable knowledge in biomechanical engineering, nano-engineering, genetic engineering, applied biology, chemistry, computer science, as well as mechanical and system engineering.

In YE 29 her parents began to work for the Star Army Research Administration, following the dissolution of PNUgen and the absorption of its assets – there they continue to aid in the development of future Ningyō heiki series body types. It was around this time that Miyuki also transferred her consciousness into a Yamataian body.

In YE 31 Miyuki enlisted in the Star Army of Yamatai, mainly due to an insatiable personal desire to advance her knowledge of NH-series bodies – which she views as the height of modern genetic engineering and nanomechanical science. Upon enlistment, Miyuki chose to transfer her conciousness again – this time into a nekovalkyrja body. After a period in basic training, Miyuki chose the Star Army Science Officer career track and focused upon broadening her knowledge of physics, astrophysics and xenobiology in preparation for serving in space.

In YE 32 Miyuki was assigned to the YSS Rikei in the Second Expeditionary Fleet. Later in early YE 34 she was promoted to Ittô Hei and recalled to Yamatai. She spent the next few months in a teaching role, aiding new applicants for the science career track.

Recently, Miyuki was reassigned to the Black Knights.

Due to her basic Star Army training, Miyuki possesses the knowledge needed for the operation of communication devices, in addition to knowing the procedures surrounding their use. She can both send and receive transmissions through the utilization of headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles both inside and outside combat conditions. Additionally, Miyuki is proficient in the use of the innate wireless and telepathic communication abilities possessed by nekovalkyrja.

Miyuki is fluent in Yamataian and Nepleslian, both in their spoken and written forms. She is able to speak and write both languages proficiently and with the level of skill needed to perform tasks such as write reports, fill out forms, issue orders etc.

In Star Army basic training, Miyuki went through the standard hand-to-hand combat course, followed up with a rigorous training program. As such, she is now skilled enough to participate in combat within both Yamatai-like and zero-gravity conditions, with or without weapons.

The types of weapons that she has been trained to utilize include the range of energy pistols, knives, and power armor utilized by the Star Army of Yamatai.

Miyuki is proficient in the use of generally any computer system that relies upon the Kessaku OS, commonly found upon any Star Army vessel. She is skilled in using computers and a variety of other devices as a means of scientific research.

Due to her various areas of training, Miyuki is proficient in the use of a wide range of medical and scientific devices related to her different fields of study.

Miyuki is skilled in numerous forms of mathematics – she uses this skill predominantly to supplement her knowledge in physics, astrophysics, chemistry and mechanical engineering.

Throughout the course of her life, Miyuki has studied biomechanical engineering, nano-engineering, genetic engineering, applied biology, chemistry, computer science, as well as mechanical and system engineering, physics, astrophysics and xenobiology.

Her skill-set is well-suited for various kinds of biological and medical research, in addition to the design of symbiotic nanotechnology or cybernetic devices.

Miyuki has studied forms of engineering, mainly with an intent to aid her in the development of symiotic nanomechanical devices such as hemosynthetic machines, cybernetics and forms of artificial intelligence. However, her understanding of engineering would also prove of benefit in the creation of larger scale mechanical devices.

As a soldier in the science track of the Star Army of Yamatai, Miyuki has been trained in starship bridge operations and is capable of piloting a starship or shuttlecraft should the situation warrant it. The primary focus of her training however, was on the use of starship sensors, astrogation and stellar cartography.
