Mithra is the daughter of Asura and Durga, as well as the niece of Yasha. She is voiced by Kari Wahlgren in the English Dub and Rie Kugimiya in the Japanese Dub.

History

Mithra is the daughter of Asura and Durga and the priestess of Shinkoku. She is able to manipulate Mantra to its maximum degree which could be use to enhance the powers of other beings. Before Asura's supposed betrayal, Mithra aided the Eight Guardian Generals and her father in battle by enhancing their powers. Deus murdered the emperor, and sent Sergei to kidnap Mithra, killing Durga in the process. Asura confronted the generals, but Deus easily defeated him and threw Asura down to Gaea. After Asura was gone, the former Eight Guardian Generals, now known as the Seven Deities, used Mithra's powers to raise their own to god-like levels.

12,500 Years Later

After Deus is defeated, Asura and Yasha free Mithra from the machine. Before father and daughter can reunite, Asura and Yasha are interrupted by Vlitra’s surprise reemergence from Gaea, now at the apex of its power.

Despite the Brahmastra being depleted, Asura and Yasha leave with Mithra’s blessings to face Vlitra. After Vlitra is slayed, Asura returns returns to the Karma Fortress to reunite with Mithra. Suddenly Olga appears behind Mithra taking her hostage. As she is about to kill Mithra, the Golden Spider appears and kills Olga, stating that he cannot allow anything to happen to his “vessel”.

The Golden Spider weaves a web around himself and Mithra, and transforming to his true form, Chakravartin. Asura tries to save Mithra in his Wrath form, but to prevents his destruction, she sends Asura falling down to Gaea along with Yasha.

While battling with Chakravartin Asura breaks Mithra free, she urges him to stop. Mithra states that if Chakravartin is killed, all mantra will cease to function. This will render all of Shinkoku's technology and the powers of the demigods useless, including those keeping Asura alive. Asura chooses to destroy Chakravartin nonetheless, resigned to his fate and happy to die so long as Mithra can live free from danger. Asura shares his final words with Mithra and dies.

Mithra is sent back to Gaea, where she integrates with the surviving humans. She spends many years recounting the tales of her father to the flourishing mortal children on Gaea before (presumably) passing away peacefully of old age.

Appearance

Mithra is a beautiful young girl with long black hair. Her attire is similar to that of a priestess.

Personality

She is a kind and gentle girl and is happy when Asura returned from battle. She loves her father and mother and was greatly distraught when her mother was killed. Despite the fact she was used by beings like Deus or Chakravartin, she was more than willing to endure it, if Asura could live.

Powers and Abilities

Being the natural-born daughter of a Demi-god, Mithra possesses eternal youth and can survive in space without air. Her most unique ability is that she can manipulate Mantra, the ultimate source of power and life energy in the universe. Mithra enhanced her father's powers so that he could defeat the Gohma. However, her powers were the reason why she was kidnapped, and as a result she was forced to enhance the powers of Deus and the other demigods to god-like levels.
