Background
Before her father Asuma died, Shikamaru Nara promised him that he would look after and train Mirai.

Personality
As a two-year-old toddler, Mirai is outgoing and friendly to her parents' students. She also like to give others nicknames. As a kunoichi, Mirai is cheerful and energetic.

Appearance
Mirai is a young woman with long, unruly black hair and red, ringed irides both of which she inherited from her mother, while for the most part she strongly resembles her father. She wears the standard attire of the Konoha-nin inclusive of a green flack jacket over a black jumper and forehead protector.

As an infant, she was depicted wearing a simple yellow kimono with blue trimmings, held closed by a white sash. Two years after her birth, her hair grew a significant amount and has a short ponytail tied above her head. Mirai wore a tan outfit with lighter tan colour stripe trimmings wrapped around her outfit, in a similar manner of how her mother wore her previous outfit. She also wears pink shinobi sandals.

Abilities
Mirai's abilities are currently unknown. However, being at least chūnin in rank and selected to accompany the Sixth Hokage, it is presumable that Mirai is a very capable kunoichi.
