Mika, being part Tatsugiri, looks relatively appetizing. Sometimes people mistake her as a larger, rarer Tatsugiri due to her color scheme, and she has no Dondozo to protect her, so she's often desired as food. It doesn't help that her natural habitat is Casseroya Lake, where most of the sushi fish live, and while resting, she uses her white rice ball-like fluff as a pillow. Due to this, Mika has grown to be paranoid and cautious, avoiding most creatures. She mainly lives on land, but has very subtle gills to survive underwater. She mainly eats berries.
