Miyuki Date

Miyuki Date (ダテミユキ Date Miyuki) is an original character, the head of Date Clan and the wife of Akihiro Date and mother of Hiroaki and Shinichi Date. She is also the older sister of Midori Date and therefore is the aunt of Tamaki and Kohaku Date. In youth, she was an agent for her clan under the alias Dragon Sorceress.

Physical Description
Miyuki appears as a fair woman with pale skin. She has long dark blue hair and black eyes that are "bottomless, beautiful but imidating." She wears kimono with light color. It is noted that her appearance is strongly like Shinichi's.

Personality
Like most of Date Clan members, Miyuki is calm, collected and calculating, always conducting herself in the most proper and sophisticated manner. Miyuki takes a great delight in provoking Tokisada Sanada from their childhood and they argue on daily basic. Tokisada's firey personality always seems to annoy her.

Family

 * Akihiro Date (husband)
 * Hiroaki Date (eldest son)
 * Shinichi Date (youngest son)
 * Midori Date (sister)
 * Kazuhiro Date (brother-in-law)
 * Tamaki and Kohaku Date (nieces)

Miyuki earns respect from every member of the Date Clan as a leader and friend. She rarely shows affection towards her sons, but always teaches them what they need to know. At some point, she had a nervous breakdown because of Hiroaki's date, which causes Shinichi to resent his mother for using him as a replacement to his brother. She knows his thoughts, but never explains to him.

Miyuki appears to be distant with her younger sister. But deep down, she cares== for Midori deeply as she not only recognizes Midori's habit of trying to take on enormous tasks alone, but prevents her from doing so out of concern for her well-being.

Tokisada Sanada
They were once friendly rivals, but over time their feelings toward each other became tainted with bitterness from the centuries-long feud between their families. As a result, they tend to disagree or fight nearly every time they meet, and generally forbid their children from having any contact with each other. However, they still get along with each other, and Miyuki shows no hesitation in trusting Tokisada.

Hikari Sanada
Before Hikari got married to Tokisada, they were rather close because Miyuki's mother and Hikari were both Miko. Hikari is usually the peachmaker between Tokisada and Miyuki. Despite the rivalry of two clans, they still keep in touch and enjoy having tea with each other.

Background
Born as the eldest daughter of Date Clan, leadership of the clan would automatically fall to him. She accepted her position quickly and takes pride in being the head. However, she tends to task herself with dangerous mission and declares that she doesn't need any help.
