Personality: Mikan is, to put it simply, a mess. She's anxiety incarnate, shaking and stammering, crying at the drop of a hat for any imagined slights, and frequently apologizing for things she probably has no part or control over. She's incredibly observant, able to read the tiniest of expressions in someone's face-- However, she tends to read them in the more negative way, assuming there's something at fault with herself or she's made them unhappy in some way.
She's eager to keep people happy and is terrified of being hated. Having been abused from a young age, she assumes any kind of attention is 'good' and means her existence is remembered. In fact, she panics when speaking with Hinata, assuming that if someone doesn't bully her, treat her badly, etc, it means they hate her and don't care about her. When people are nice to her, she reacts with confusion, not sure what she's done to deserve it and believing it to be a trick or setting up for something worse later. She'll purposefully play up her clumsiness to put herself into embarrassing, often lewd, poses to draw attention to herself and, hopefully, disperse tense situations.
She cares deeply for others and is quick to jump in and help with injuries, showing a level of competence, steadiness, and seriousness not usually present in other situations. Caring for others and utilizing her skills as the Ultimate Nurse is here she truly has confidence and she is quicker to stand up to people if it comes to overseeing someone else's health.
This doesn't mean Mikan is all sunshine and rainbows, though. She openly admits that part of the reason she enjoys looking after sick people is because they're the only people weaker than she is. She gets a sense of control and power knowing they're forced to rely on her and is happier for it. She's also quick to become attached to people who are kind to her, but sometimes it goes a step too far. For example she contemplates somehow permanently injuring Hinata so that he's forced to stay with her forever, though she's quickly placated by Hinata's assistance that he won't abandon her. She also talks about the most effective ways to torture someone; as the Ultimate Nurse she'd know the 'best' places to inflict harm with minimal effort and maximum pain, or how to inflict pain without leaving many marks.
In her persona as a member of the Ultimate Despair, she's shown to be much more bitter, and her violent and sadistic tendencies come out full-force. She's manipulative and cruel and shown to be able to work and think quickly. If it wasn't for Hiyoko's untimely intervention, it's possible she could have gotten away with the murder of her classmate, showing just how capable she can be. However, it should be noted that this personality shift just exaggerates most of her bad traits and isn't a true reflection of her actual personality. Brainwashed by despair, she becomes far more meanspirited and calls everyone out for being mean to her, alternating between being wildly angry and eerily calm, saying terrible things with a wistful, wondering innocent tone-such as telling Komaeda that she pities him for never knowing love.
However, following the end of the series when she awakens from her coma, Mikan, having regained her memories of everything, is filled with regret about what she's done both in the Neo World Program and as a Remnant of Despair. She, along with her classmates, vow to atone for what they did and try to set things right, showing that Mikan's reverted back to her true personality and been cured of her brainwashing.
Abilities and Nerfs: Known as the Ultimate Nurse, Mikan has a wide range of medical knowledge that she's able to use and apply. In the game she provides autopsy reports and can determine time and cause of death and very detailed information on the injuries (such as the exact length and diameter of the weapon used to stab someone).
She's also incredibly skilled at analyzing and reading faces, though she tends to assume the worst. She can use this skill though to accurately tell if someone's ill at a glance.
Mikan's also surprisingly effective in a fight, though she tends to use sneak attacks, usually injecting her victims with something from a syringe to kill or incapacitate them.
