桐条 美鶴

Mitsuru is the heir world-famous Kirijo Group and the founder and leader of the Shadow Operatives. Mitsuru is calm, confident, mature, responsible and very intelligent. During her time in Gekkoukan High, she was the student council president. She is also good friends with Akihiko. Due to her caring attitude, however, there are times where she tends to go out of her way often to accept responsibility for many things that especially involves her family's history, and it becomes Mitsuru's aim to atone for the sins of the Kirijo family.

Mitsuru can be fierce and even scary when she is angered or upset, such as when she berates one of the teachers for trying to cover up Fuuka's disappearance. This usually results in her saying "This... is... unacceptable!" and performing an "execution". What this "execution" is remains a mystery.

She wields the Artemisia persona. Artemisia I of Caria was known for her decisiveness, intelligence, and her strategies under Xerxes' as his Grand Admiral.
