A masked magical girl allied with the English Union, Minou is distinguished by her cat-themed mask and ruthless methods on the battlefield. As the youngest of three sisters, she uses powerful mind-control magic, treating both soldiers and fellow magical girls as disposable pawns. Unflinching in her quest for victory, she forcibly burns magical girls with her "Magical Branding Iron," draining their power and turning them into witches, then recovers Grief Seeds by sending her enslaved allies to slay these witches. Despite her ruthlessness, flashbacks hint she was once timid. Devoted fanatically to her mother, Isabeau de Bavière, Minou's ultimate wish was to protect her from any harm by another magical girl. Her mother’s downfall led to Minou's own magical power fading. In her later years, she remained close to her mother’s empty shell until she was finally slain by Elisa Celjska and Melissa de Vignolles.
