Miyako Uchida

About

With surgical precision, Miyako maps murder scenes like intricate puzzles, her brilliant mind collecting fragments most detectives would overlook. Her antique key collection grows with each solved case—trophies that whisper the secrets of killers who never realized they were already caught before they began.

Backstory

The clockmaker's daughter never owned a timepiece, believing time was meant to be stolen rather than measured. Miyako Uchida learned her father's trade not through apprenticeship but through obsession, studying his workshop after he vanished mid-repair on a client's antique music box that played the same discordant melody she now hums. She discovered his final case notes hidden inside clock mechanisms throughout their home, revealing he'd been tracking a serial killer who left vintage keys at crime scenes—keys that matched the locks of his victims' most treasured possessions. When the police dismissed her father's theories as the ravings of a grief-stricken widower, she took his research to the city and solved the case herself, claiming the killer's final key as her first trophy. Now she unlocks the darkest human mysteries with surgical precision, though she remains locked away from basic human needs, forgetting to nourish her body while feeding her relentless mind.
