Story: Mizu was born in Japan around 1637-38 to a Japanese woman who was raped by a white Western trader. There were only four such men in Japan at the time of her birth, and all Westerners had officially been forbidden from entering the country since 1633. Due to being seen as a half-breed monster or demon for her heritage, Mizu has usually concealed her blue eyes with a mask, wide-brimmed hat or tinted glasses, though she does not need them to aid her vision. Shortly after her birth, Mizu was targeted by an assassination attempt, which claimed her mother's life instead. She was given to a maid, who posed as her mother, by an unknown individual, and taken into hiding at the fishing village of Kohama. As a child, she lived with her 'mother' in a hut at the edge of the village, forbidden to go out or the 'bad men' would find her. Though they had moments of warmth, her 'mother' became Increasingly addicted to opium at the brothel she worked at, hitting and reprimanding Mizu if she even went near the windows. She eventually shaved Mizu's head to make her resemble a boy, since she claimed the 'bad men' would be looking for a girl.
