She grew up eating much more sakura mochi than the average person and developed an unnatural hair color, which led to her being seen as a freak and unable to proceed with a previously intended marriage when she was seventeen. After this rejection, she dyed her hair black, pretended to be weak, and forced herself to eat a normal amount in an attempt to fit in more with other girls, even if it negatively impeded her well-being. Shortly after making these adjustments to her physical appearance, Mitsuri was approached by a potential partner. However, she to think about whether or not pretending to be a different person would truly work out for her in the end. At some point in her life either she left him or she left her.
