{{nihongo|'''Mikoto Minagi'''|美袋 命|Minagi Mikoto}} is a [[fictional character]] from the [[My-HiME]] and [[My-Otome]] [[anime]] and [[manga]] series. Her name is simply '''Mikoto''' in My-Otome. She is voiced in both series by [[Ai Shimizu]] in Japanese and [[Caitlynne Medrek]] in English.

== My-Otome anime ==

Mikoto the Cat Goddess is a separate entity from Mikoto the cat. She appears childish, similar to her My-HiME incarnations, but shows a better knowledge of combat and technology. She wears [[Buddhist]] robes and [[Buddhist prayer beads|prayer beads]] around her neck and carries a traditional bronze staff shaped like a cat's head. She is inseparable from her Otome, [[Mai Tokiha]]; Mai herself states that despite attempting to escape, she was never successful.<ref>My-Otome anime DVD special 8</ref>

Though unable to fly like other Otome, Mikoto the Cat Goddess is able to swing her staff powerfully and is very nimble. Mai states she has never defeated Mikoto in battle, even when materialized. Miyu states that Mikoto is the last person with natural materialization powers and calls her the "Crystal Princess." The Cat Goddess has a HiME mark in the same spot as her My-HiME incarnation.<ref name="MOA23">My-Otome episode 23</ref> In the Black Valley, Mikoto has a series of [[Maneki Neko|cat statues]] which enable her to observe the world. She also had maintained a shadow version of herself to protect the Harmonium; the shadow form was defeated by [[Nina Wáng]].<ref name="MOA23" /> In one of the DVD [[Omake]] chapters, Mikoto the cat is shown to be an Otome. Its "GEM," the ring in its left ear, displays "Cat No. 10" with an "Unknown" contract. It has a Coral GEM and fights in a Coral Robe, and does not appear to require contract confirmation<ref>My-Otome anime DVD special 7</ref> and this cat appears as an Otome in the My-Otome PS2 game.

== My-Otome manga ==

In the [[My-Otome (manga)|My-Otome manga]] Mikoto is a being who can switch between human and cat forms at will.<ref>My-Otome manga, chapter 20, page 8</ref> She retains her catlike and curious aspects, but she is generally more malevolent. Mikoto, in addition to the ability to transform, is able to summon a Slave that resembles a cat form of the Child Miroku.<ref>My-Otome manga, chapter 20, page 14</ref> She also can summon her real Child and is a capable fighter with her claws, on par with a Meister Otome.<ref>My-Otome manga, chapter 30</ref> Mikoto also retains her sword Miroku, which she never fights with, and her HiME symbol is initially shown on her upper left arm.<ref>My-Otome manga, chapter 33, page 8</ref> The symbol is moved to her tail when the rest of the HiME are revived.<ref>My-Otome manga, chapter 38, page 18</ref>
