Mew Satou, drawn by Satouberri and colored by Keruri

Kuroneko Satou Berii (黒ネコさとうべりー) is a 16-year-old Mew Mew who started showing up at Cafe Mew Mew after her parents died in a car crash back in 2004, and was born in the current Kokoro dimension. She is part of RAz ((Ryou's Army Z/his harem)), and is also the self declared leader of the new Mew Mew group, though in reality she isn't. Her authoress is Satouberri.

[edit] History

[edit] Before Kokoro

Satou grew up in Canada, presumedly somewhere near the ocean, seeing as she has lots of experience with boats, fishing, and the ocean in general. This is why she has a middle name, which don't exist in Japan. She lived there until she was about 8 years old, at which time her family moved to the United States for a bit. She stayed in the USA until she was 14, and then her family moved to Japan. The moves were part of business and her parents' work, and the trip to Japan was not supposed to last very long. However, her parents were killed in a car crash while they were visiting Japan.

Satou was then sent to live with a woman named Nijirose Momoko, who was a friend of the Kuroneko family. Being spoiled at the time, Satou decided she would hate her new mother, referring to her as a wicked woman and avoiding her at all costs. Around this time, Satou discovered she was a Mew Mew, and went to Cafe Mew Mew. Cafe Mew Mew became her new hideaway, and she eventually moved in.

[edit] Kokoro Days

After her parents died, Satou turned her life to being a mew mew as an anti-depressant. She had a huge hole in her heart, and decided to fill her loneliness with love. This evolved into an exaggerated obsessive fangirling problem, and Satou spent her first few years "in love" with Momomiya Ichigo. How she stumbled upon the Cafe is still fairly unclear. One day she just showed up and quickly connected her ability to transform with the Cafe, and began to visit frequently. As time went on, Satou realized that the Cafe was like the family she had always wanted, and left the Nijirose estate to move in. Satou lived with Gamu, whom she decided was her "Oneechan", even though Satou was actually the older one. During this chaotic days, Satou grew to love her family more and more, but two problems began to rise to the surface. The first was that Satou was afraid of "overwriting" her memories of her parents. She didn't want to let go of the loneliness that reminded her they had once been there, and was very reluctant to truly open up to her new potential family. Things got worse for her when she realized that she wasn't actually in love with Ichigo, discovering this along with her feelings for Shirogane Ryou.

Her love for Ryou confused the kitty to bits. Satou had mixed feelings about becoming Ryou's little sister instead of lover. It was very obvious to her that Ryou and Ichigo were meant to be, so she decided to force herself to go along with it. Satou did her best to never bring up her feelings and started calling Ryou her "Oniichan" and eventually, as it got harder to deal with her feelings, "NiiNii" to force herself into the habit of thinking of him as a brother. Satou also moved out of the Cafe and joined Hoshizen Daisuke's family, since being part of Ryou's family was stressing her out.

At the present, Satou continues to quietly battle with her feelings. She is also pursuing a career as an actress. Originally, Satou was a model in her unique kitten form, but she has recently moved on to modeling in her human form as a mew mew cosplayer. She has also gotten two roles in nameless dramas, one being a very small supporting role and the other being a co-lead with Himeno as the star.

[edit] Kokoro Draft Future

Her Draft future is based off the future from the Avidgamers2 roleplaying forums. Instead of falling for Ryou, this Satou found early comfort in a lonely Kisshu. The two became very good friends, and eventually, they started dating. Draft!Satou also became an actress and lived on Earth with Kisshu, though they occasionally went between his planet and hers. She also managed to patch up her relationship with Mrs. Nijirose and kept her innocent, sweet personality since she never felt unhappy. They supposedly had a "happy ever after" and collected kittens. They never had any children, but were planning to adopt.

[edit] Angelique Mew

In this world, Satou is a Mew Aqua powered Mew, granting her special healing abilities. Some details still remain fuzzy, but this world's Satou thinks of Ryou as a brother without any hidden romantic feelings.

[edit] Personality

It is probably safe to say that Satou has a few issues here and there. For the most part, she is a very sweet and cheerful girl who wishes for nothing but the happiness of others, though she has an odd way of expressing it. She is very outgoing and hyper when around people but able and willing to melt into the background too. Her bad, violent temper tends to get her into lots of trouble. Satou is quite the tsundere at time. She is also very guilty of putting on a constant facade of immaturity. Much like her SC counterpart, Mew Satou does not like to share her burdens with anyone, but is hypocritic and would prefer her friends shared their burdens with her. She has become skilled in the art of manipulating people, or rather, getting a message across with immature antics. It has only shown a few times, but Satou is quite mature and very observant.

[edit] Family's Effect

One of Satou's key personality factors is that she hates being adopted. Satou cannot accept the present and tries to stay in the past. By this time she has admitted her parents are dead on the outside but refuses to admit on the inside that she needs to fill that empty hole with a new family. Since she strongly believes that the pain of the past is the only thing that keeps her parents her parents she will not move on and tends to block anyone who tries to get too close and heal her out. This cold nature is occasionally seen when people get too close to her; she ignores them and acts very cruelly towards them. Unconsciously, Satou tries to get people to help her but this is a purely unconscious reaction to her sadness. Whenever she feels like she might snap, cry and beg for help Satou distances herself from everyone.

[edit] Ryou's Effect

In the beginning of the story, Satou was a loyal Ichigo fangirl. Her life simply was not complete without a happy dose of Ichigo. Over time, though, Satou noticed she was feeling funny around Ryou and eventually discovered she loved him and that Ichigo had been a cover up for her sadness. Now, Satou does her best to keep her feelings to herself. She has realized that all the love puts stress on Ryou and doesn't want to hurt him anymore so instead quietly 'suffers' as she tries to fall out of love without him noticing. However, she cannot help but be overprotective of her NiiNii and it is sometimes very obvious that she is a complete and total fangirl.

[edit] Relationships

[edit] "Family"

Satou has a family issue; ever since losing her parents she has struggled to replace the hole in her heart that she never lets heal properly. Because of this, she looks at people and tends to label them as her new family members, even if they have no blood relation.

• Shirogane Ryou - Her "NiiNii". Though she is actually in love with him, Satou settles for a younger sister and tries not to let her feelings ruin his happiness. That doesn't change the fact, though, that it does upset her that she can't be honest about how she feels.

• Gamu - Her "Oneechan", sometimes also called her "NeeNee". Even though Gamu is younger than her, Satou treats her like an older sister. Since Satou is fully aware of Gamu's crush on Ryou she has very mixed feelings toward her "sister", and struggles to try and get Gamu interested in someone else and not to hurt Ryou.

• Saltigo - Saltigo is her alternate universe little sister. They get along pretty well, though Satou does try to keep her at a distance sometimes, since Salt reminds her of her lost parents.

• Craneko Sucreko - Nijirose Momoko's niece and Satou's cousin through adoption. Because of Satou's refusal to accept the past, she tries to keep Sucreko at a distance. Sucreko, on the other hand, struggles to rebuild the bound they had before becoming family.

• Nijirose Momoko - Her adoptive mother. However, even though it's been a few years since they became a family, Satou has not truely accepted her. Satou talks about Momoko like she's evil and out to ruin Satou's life but this is all made-up; Satou is just looking for reasons to hate her new mother.

• Hoshizen Daisuke - When Satou began panicking over her feelings for Ryou and trying to find a new home she ended up moving in with Daisuke and his family. She considers this family to be the most warm and is most at ease when around them, even though they rarely spend time together. To her, Daisuke is her precious "Dai-nii".

• Shirogane Kyr - Though they don't see each other much, Kokoro!Satou thinks of him as another brother.

[edit] Friends

Satou considers people "Family" instead of "Friends" due to her desperate longing for her family again.

[edit] Lovelife

Due to the fact she has no real family, Satou started out with a bad habit of falling in and out of love at an incredibly fast rate. As the story went on, though, she was able to stay in love with one person, which isn't really to her advantage anyway, since that person is Shirogane Ryou. Originally, Satou was in love with Kisshu, since they had a short history together before Satou officially moved into the Cafe. After a while, though, Satou's affections shifted to Shirogane Ichigo, and she was a spastic, annoying fangirl for a while. She wasn't very shy with her love, and later realized that she was just fooling herself, and trying to pretend she was in love so she wouldn't be lonely. This discovery sent Satou into a disguised emo period. Quite a long time after this, Satou realized she'd fallen for Ryou. Upset that the only people she'd ever loved were closely related to Ichigo, and fearing that she was going to be a problem for Ryou and Ichigo's happiness, she has ever since tried to find a way to leave Cafe Mew Mew and not ever be a problem, or part, of their lives again.

• Shirogane Kyr - "Kyonkichi", as Satou affectionately calls him. In an alternate universe, they supposedly get together because of a ToS/TMM crossover.

• Shirogane Ryou - Now her "NiiNii". Satou originally realized she was in love with him after discovering her love for Ichigo was a lie she was telling herself. However, since Ryou and Ichigo were together, Satou decided to just stand on the sidelines and watch. Though she is still in love with him, Satou is willing to settle for being a little sister if it'll keep Ryou happy.

• TicTac - In mewUSA, Satou dated TicTac in order to torment Cinna with the Yuri that she hated. It was hinted during TicTac's very short Kokoro appearance that the two might have gotten together.

• Yumeno Shugu - Satou's unofficial boyfriend in many other worlds. He has a very strong liking for her, though the fact they've both got a tsundere way of showing it has kept them from becoming an actual couple. Authoress Satouberri is considering playing her own couple here.

[edit] Alternates

Sugar Card! Satou : The little ditz that occasionally shows up in Kokoro when she's hiding from Touka or Eiki. These two Satous have an interesting relationship, since Mew Satou is incredibly jealous of the attention her Sakura Card Mistress counterpart gets. Mew Satou often makes references to her counterpart's blue haired boyfriend when she's ranting about stuff she dislikes.

Dream World! Satou : The cheerful, stupid American who runs laps with blindfolds during the day and saves the world in her dreams. Dream World! Satou is coupled up with Dream World! Shugo, though Mew Satou is fair too dense to realize this and apply it to her own Shugo.

Kirby! Satou: Another ditzy Satou from a Gag/Parody world, this Satou bribs half of Ryou's brain, which is locked in a vacuum, to turn her into a Mew Mew... 'cause it'd be fun. Along with Saint Ponytail Keichiirou and her crazy friends, she is trying to bring sanity back to Tokyo... Irony?

[edit] Mew Mew Information

[edit] Basics

Satou is one of the few Mew Mews in Kokoro to have the DNA of more than one animal. How and why she became a Mew Mew is an unfilled plot hole. Since she has double cat DNA, Satou is more animal than human at times, and changes into a cat more than most other Mew Mews might.

Like Mew Ichigo, Satou's name is not translated when she transforms. Instead, she keeps it the same so as to be more like her idol.

[edit] Weapon and Attack

Satou's weapon is called the Shugaachaimu, otherise knon as the "Sugar Chime". (Of course, she usually substitutes the "mu" for the cuter, more catlike "myu".) Her weapon closely resembles a bright pink, plastic letter "D". From the bottom, three silver cowbells dangle on little strings, and from the center is a silver cat bell, with a slip of paper which has "MYU" written on it hanging from the bell. On the top, she has the traditional Mew anime weapon design (the pink heart jewel with the Mew Project symbol inside), but unlike traditional mews, the casing around hers is silver. This has bright pink wings coming off it and a silver halo. The wings turn black when Mew Satou has recently healed someone.

Satou's basic attack is Riboon Sugaa Uindii Ringuu, or "Reborn Sugar Wind Ring". This ability creates a sugar scented breeze, and the power is base on how intense Mew Satou's emotions are while she's fighting. It can be either a pitiful breeze, or a large tornado. Unfortunely, it also drains her energy to use her ability to the max of its power.

She also has two other attacks that pair with each other. Reborn Shugaa Hai-nyu, or "Ribbon Sugar High -nyu", involves Mew Satou transferring her own energy and power to someone else. This makes her very tired, but makes whoever she used the ability on heal quickly, almost instantly. To reverse the ability, and give her back her energy, Mew Satou uses Riboon Sugaa Kurasshu, or "Reborn Sugar Crash". "Crashing" causes whoever was "highed" to become sleepy as their body adjusts to not having the extra energy, similar to a sugar or caffeine crash.

• Mew Satou was the lead Mew Mew in two fanfictions, TMM: Reborn and Tokyo Dream World
• The above is shameless plugging.
• Mew Satou's design has been modified over time to appear more "gothic".
