Mint

Overview

Mint is an A-rank playable character in Neverness to Everness. Her element is Anima and she wields Dual Blades as her weapon type. Mint is a rising star and elite operative within Containment Unit 2 (CSU-2), a division of the Bureau of Anomaly Control. She placed first in the Containment Simulation Exam from CSU-2. Her birthday is June 1. Her character quote is "Hey, the wind's picking up!"

Mint is widely known throughout Hethereau as a living dictionary of people and places who can chat with anyone and keep up with any conversation. Despite her love for ice cream and playful demeanor, she is a highly capable combatant who can turn the wind itself into a weapon. In combat, Mint functions as a wind-based AoE DPS character with surprisingly high DEF stats and interruption resistance that allow her to sustain extended engagements.

Appearance

Mint is immediately recognizable by her teal-colored hair and red eyes. She wears a white and blue containment uniform that reflects her role as a Bureau operative, along with black gloves. Her appearance is energetic and put-together, with her dual blades sleek and lightweight. Designed for the rapid, flowing combat style she employs. She is described as someone who is always trying to look put together, frequently fixing her hair.

Personality

Mint is cheerful, outgoing, and genuinely curious about everything and everyone around her. Her encyclopedic knowledge of Hethereau is not the result of academic study alone. She has walked every street, talked to every vendor, and mapped every shortcut in the city through personal exploration. Her official description notes she is "a living dictionary of people and places in Hethereau" who "can chat with anyone... but only during off-hours!"

Her love of ice cream is well-known among her colleagues in CSU-2. One of her in-game quotes states: "Ice cream is cool, mint is cool, so mint ice cream from Blizzi means double the happiness!" She knows every ice cream shop in Hethereau and has been known to detour during downtime to grab a cone.

Despite her lighthearted exterior, Mint experiences genuine exhaustion, anxiety, and pressure to meet expectations. Her humor often masks insecurity, and she uses comedy as a coping mechanism. She is self-aware and frequently jokes about retaking the BAC Containment Safety Exam. However, she never lets personal concerns compromise mission objectives, and her consistent performance earned her the top score in the Containment Simulation Exam.

Abilities and Combat Kit

Mint's combat role is wind-based AoE DPS. Despite being an A-rank character, her kit is well-rounded and effective. She uses her Dual Blades to generate wind-element attacks that cover wide areas, making her particularly strong against groups of Oddities. Her kit includes both dash mobility and area damage, along with strong defensive passive abilities.

Perfect Containment (Basic Attack)

Mint executes up to 5 consecutive strikes with her Dual Blades. Her attack chain is fast and fluid, with each swing generating wind currents that extend the effective range of her melee strikes. The rapid attack speed makes her effective at building up elemental application on targets.

Ultimate: Super Claws (Elemental Skill)

Mint dashes forward then returns to her original position, delivering 2 instances of Anima DMG along the path. This dash skill provides both damage and repositioning utility, letting her cut through enemy groups and return to a safe position. The skill name reflects her energetic, action-hero personality.

Thunderous Whirlwind Slash (Ultimate)

Mint channels the surrounding wind into her dual blades, creating wind blades that deal multiple instances of Anima DMG to an area, with the final strike dealing massive area damage. The full in-universe name for this ability is reportedly "Mint's Ultimate: Super Duper Ultra 360 Whirlwind Slash" a name so long it had to be shortened. This reflects Mint's over-the-top enthusiastic personality.

Invincible Tornado Slash (QTE)

Mint's Quick Time Event during character swaps has her charge and leap into the air, performing a penetrating attack that deals one instance of Anima DMG to an area below.

Passive Abilities

• Transform! Super Mint! Each Lebenblumes splits into 2, flying toward targets before exploding for additional damage.

• Bingo! We're Done Here! Increases DEF by 20% and Interruption Resistance by 30% while Mint is on the field. This is what makes her surprisingly tanky for a DPS character.

Esper Cycle Role

As an Anima element character, Mint participates in the Esper Cycle reaction system. Her AoE focus makes her particularly effective at applying Anima status to multiple enemies simultaneously, which creates opportunities for teammates with complementary elements to trigger duo reactions across the entire enemy group. This wide Anima application is a key reason Mint sees strong usage despite her A-rank rarity.

Her dash skill and ultimate both hit multiple targets, allowing her to prime large groups for follow-up reactions from teammates. Combined with her 20% DEF boost and 30% Interruption Resistance from her Bingo! We're Done Here! passive, she can stand in the middle of enemy groups and apply Anima pressure without being easily disrupted.

Lore and Background

Mint serves as a member of Containment Unit 2 (CSU-2), a specialized division within the Bureau of Anomaly Control. CSU-2 handles containment operations across Hethereau, and Mint's extensive knowledge of the city's layout makes her a natural fit for missions that require navigating complex urban environments quickly. She holds the distinction of scoring first place in the Containment Simulation Exam among CSU-2 operatives.

Mint functions as a bridge between the player and the world of Hethereau. She serves as a grounding force in the story, reminding others of humanity amid supernatural chaos. Her encyclopedic knowledge extends beyond geography. Mint knows the people, businesses, and social dynamics of the city that most residents never discover, making her an exceptional intelligence asset for her unit.

However, despite her social skills and knowledge, there is one topic Mint will not discuss: the results of the BAC containment safety exams. This humorous limitation is a recurring joke in her character interactions.
