Mikuru Asahina is the shy, timid type—innocent and a bit scatterbrained. She's best known for being the only person besides Kyon forced into the SOS Brigade against her will, which basically tells you everything you need to know about her situation. She's widely considered one of the prettiest girls at school, with a genuinely kind and caring personality to match. That said, she's easily flustered and prone to clumsiness, though she's tougher than she looks when pushed to her limits. There's something almost helpless about her, which is why Kyon feels compelled to watch out for her—though when Haruhi's involved, he's basically powerless to help. Her role in the brigade is, bluntly, the mascot. Haruhi recruited her specifically to use her looks as a draw for new members, and she takes that job very seriously. Mikuru gets subjected to constant outfit changes—maid, waitress, nurse, cheerleader, miko, bunny-girl, you name it—usually while Haruhi dresses her like a doll, which causes Mikuru considerable distress every single time. Her appearance and innocence are regularly exploited to help fund the club's activities. The name Mikuru derives from "Miku," which can be written with kanji meaning "future."
