Appearance
Minene without her eye patch.
Minene Uryuu is a striking young woman in her twenties, characterized by her long, flowing purple hair and captivating violet eyes. Her look takes on a more rugged edge during the Survival Game when she loses her left eye, opting for an eyepatch that conceals a glass eye underneath, adding a layer of intrigue to her persona.
Her typical attire reflects her tough and rebellious spirit, consisting of a black, sleeveless jacket that hints at her military background, paired with either military-style trousers or jeans and a fitted tank top underneath. This ensemble showcases her readiness for action and her fierce independence.

When she first enters the scene, Minene is seen in a whimsical lavender gothic lolita dress, her hair styled in playful pigtails. This outfit serves as a poignant reminder of her vulnerability; it is suggested that her usual clothing was soaked and uncomfortable, forcing her to don this dress found in an abandoned clothes room. The contrast between her elegant appearance in the dress and her later, more battle-ready look encapsulates the duality of her character—both a fighter and a survivor shaped by her circumstances.
Personality
Minene Uryuu embodies the essence of a survivor, a mindset deeply ingrained in her identity as the holder of the Escape Diary. Initially a simple journal, the diary transformed into a tool for her tactical brilliance, meticulously recording potential escape routes for her audacious plans. Her intelligence shines through her ability to swiftly gather information and make strategic deductions, making her a formidable player in the Survival Game.
Having spent her formative years isolated and devoid of love or guidance, Minene has cultivated a fierce independence, convinced that she requires no one to aid her. This solitary upbringing has fostered a deep-seated animosity toward all forms of religion, fueling her desire to obliterate the very concept of God from existence.

Upon her introduction, Minene presents a chilling presence, easily unsettling Yukiteru Amano with her intense demeanor. Her psychotic enthusiasm for her terrorist acts is palpable, showcasing her willingness to annihilate anyone who stands in her path. However, as her character unfolds, we see a more nuanced individual—a tough woman tempered by a hidden vulnerability. Beneath her hardened exterior lies a compassionate side; she harbors a fondness for small children and animals, exemplified by her care for a family of chipmunks, which she ultimately releases before launching her assault on John Bacchus.
Haunted by the memory of her eight-year-old self, Minene grapples with the pain of her past, particularly the loss of her parents. This lingering sorrow symbolizes her yearning to escape her history and find redemption, making her a complex character driven by both rage and the need for healing.
History
Minene Uryuu’s tumultuous life began at the tender age of eight when the tragic death of her parents plunged her into a harsh reality. Left to fend for herself in a war-torn Middle Eastern country plagued by religious extremism, she quickly learned the brutal art of survival on the streets. Stripped of love and guidance, she turned to theft and cunning to navigate a world filled with danger and despair.
This harrowing experience ignited a profound disdain for God and organized religion within Minene. Each act of violence she witnessed reinforced her belief that deities were nothing more than destructive forces in human affairs. As she matured, this anger morphed into a fervent commitment to her cause, and she embraced the identity of a terrorist bomber.
Targeting religious institutions, figures, and organizations became her twisted mission. Minene reveled in the destruction she wrought, believing she was erasing the very concept of God from existence. This obsession not only shaped her into a formidable adversary but also sealed her fate within the deadly game orchestrated by Deus Ex Machina, where her past and her beliefs would collide with unimaginable consequences.
