== Overview ==
Mina's motivation in the [[ritual]] is to become Viscount of New York.<ref>{{HeroIcon|Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Select|voice line]] (select): ''"Soon, I will be Viscount of New York."''</ref>

=== Biography ===
The daughter of a "[[wikipedia:New_Money|new money]]" couple,<ref>Mina's gun is named "[[Mina#Weapon|New Money]]"</ref> Mina Ha was educated at [[Blackmore Academy]].<ref name=":10">{{PageRef|name=Graves}}'s in-game [[Graves/Quotes|voice line]] (killed Mina): ''"I hate Blackmore alumni."''</ref> Over 5 years before the ritual, Mina's parents arranged a marriage for her with {{HeroIcon|Pocket|l1=Arin Fairfax}},<ref name=":14">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|file=Vampirebat kill synth 03.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I should have been a Fairfax.}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Pocket): ''"Arin, you're the worst!"''</ref><ref name=":1">{{PageRef|name=Hidden King}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Mina start): ''"You may not be a Fairfax, but you are something greater. You are Mina Ha! The woman who heralds the Hidden King's arrival to this plane!"''</ref> the eldest heir of [[Fairfax Industries]],<ref name=":11">{{BackgroundCite|name=Pocket|quote=Arin Fairfax, the eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, has been living in hiding for the past 5 years after being shot and left for dead on their 18th birthday.}}</ref> which would have elevated Mina to American royalty. Unfortunately, Arin was declared dead after an assassination attempt, which destroyed the Ha family's plans.

Frustrated, Mina asked her parents to "fix it". They promised her immortality and, for a small fortune, managed to find a vampire willing to turn her into one. After her transformation (which she considers "botched" by her parents),<ref name=":7">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Unselect|context=(Unselect)|transcription=I have a whole life to build after my parents botched my turning, so no, I'm not helping you right now. I'm a little busy.}}</ref> Mina discovered that she was now at the bottom of the vampiric social ladder,<ref name=":13">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#select|context=(select)|transcription=I'm tired of being at the bottom of the vampiric social ladder.}}</ref> which inspired her new goal of becoming Viscount of New York. The other vampires don't know that Mina is summoning the Patrons to become Viscount, and they likely wouldn't approve of it.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Haze|quotes=Haze/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Mina)|transcription=Looks like the viscount is going to owe us some favours.}}</ref>

Outside of her vampiric work, Mina is a fashion designer and knows how to sew.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Billy}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Other Characters|voice line]] (Killed Mina) - ''"I hope your new clothing line gets panned."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Enemy|voice line]] (Killed M&K) - ''"I'm pretty sure those were the guys selling knock-offs of my dresses."''</ref><ref name=":22">[[Mina/Quotes|Mina & Victor Conversation 2]]</ref> She owns a clothing brand and is currently building up a "fashion empire".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Unselect|context=(unselect)|transcription=I have a fashion empire to build.}}</ref>

Mina is implied to be close to Pocket's age, who is 23 years old.<ref name=":11" />

=== Personality ===
Mina is judgemental and holds high standards for herself and others,<ref name=":7" /><ref name=":8" /><ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Mina|hero2=Victor|number=1|hero_quote1=Mina|quote1=I'm sure you're self-conscious about the whole corpse thing but, I bet if you're in a dimly lit club you'd be a Midwest 8, New York 6.}}</ref> respecting those whom she finds powerful and stylish.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":9" /> In general, Mina is often antagonistic to other characters and has a reputation for being unpleasant.<ref name=":02">{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s [[Mina/Quotes#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|character interactions]]</ref><ref>[[Vindicta/Quotes#Conversations|Mina & Vindicta Conversation 2]] - {{PageRef|name=Vindicta}}: ''"Based on your reputation, I was expecting barbs, not compliments."''</ref> Mina views her allies as "the help",<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#situational|context=(last alive)|transcription=Well. The help is all dead. That's awesome.}}</ref> and doesn't show any sympathy towards even the most tragic characters.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Grey Talon)|transcription=Your grandkids are dead, I get it, go buy a dog!}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Holliday)|transcription=Blah, blah, blah, Macomb Massacre, blah, blah.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Victor)|transcription=He looked so sad... Oh well, who cares?}}</ref> She also dislikes altruistic people.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Ivy)|transcription=What a whiny goody two-shoes!}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Bebop)|transcription='Oh, I want to save Miss Shelly so she doesn't die!' Whatever.}}</ref> The other heroes refer to Mina as a "spoiled brat".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Paradox|quotes=Paradox/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Mina)|transcription=Brat.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Holliday|quotes=Holliday/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Mina)|transcription=What a spoiled brat...}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Haze|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Enemy Heroes|transcription=God, what a brat.}}</ref>

Mina believes that becoming Viscount is her destiny,<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Pre-Game|context=(pre-game ping)|transcription=Today, I fulfil my destiny!}}</ref> and wants to prove her worth to the other vampires.<ref name=":13" /><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Killstreak|context=(medium killstreak)|transcription=Think the Vampire Nation is taking note now?}}</ref> She's willing to "suck up" to those in power to achieve her goals.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Unselect|context=(unselect)|transcription=Can't, I'm busy sucking up to the viscount today.}}</ref>

Mina loves the bats she uses in {{AbilityIcon|Nox Nostra}}, referring to them as "darlings".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Nox Nostra|context=(upgrade Nox Nostra)|transcription=You ready to stretch your wings, darlings?}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Nox Nostra|context=(ping Nox Nostra ready)|transcription=Chase them down, darlings.}}</ref> She likes to use {{AbilityIcon|Sanguine Retreat}} to be annoying.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Sanguine Retreat|context=(upgrade Sanguine Retreat)|transcription=Oh, I am going to be so annoying!}}</ref>

=== Information ===
Mina's ultimate {{AbilityIcon|Nox Nostra}} means "Our Night" in Latin.

Mina's family is implied to be East Asian, due to the "[[wikipedia:Ha|Ha]]" last name. Her name is also written in Asian localizations as a traditional Asian name, unlike other heroes.

Mina's pistol New Money has the words "Nuit Rouge 7" ("Red Night 7" in French) inscribed on the side, similar to perfume labels.

Mina holds her pistol in her left hand, like {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}}. While this is done for gameplay purposes so her umbrella doesn't cover her model, it could also reflect her admiration for Geist.

== Character Relationships ==

=== Mina's parents ===
Mina's parents spoiled Mina rotten.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Apollo|quotes=Apollo/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Mina)|transcription=She was spoiled rotten.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Paige|quotes=Paige/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Mina)|transcription=Her parents raised her wrong.}}</ref> According to Mina, they "botched" her turning into a vampire.<ref name=":7" />

Mina believes that her mother would tell her that she's "lowering herself" to the enemy team's level.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Rake|context=(upgrade Rake)|transcription=Mom would say I'm lowering myself to their level, but... Whatever. She's not here.}}</ref>

=== {{HeroIcon|Pocket}} ===
Mina was betrothed to Pocket due to an arranged marriage.<ref name=":14" /><ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

Mina hates Pocket for "ruining her life", as Pocket's assassination meant Mina couldn't become a Fairfax.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|file=Vampirebat kill synth 02.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=You ruined my life.}}</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Allies|voice line]] (zipline pass Pocket) - ''"Stupid Arin, with their stupid scarf, and their stupid case, and their stupid family!"''</ref>

It's implied that Mina and Pocket never loved each other, as she only ever cared about getting their last name.<ref>{{BackgroundCite|name=Mina|quote=Mina wept; not for the life of her fiancé, but for the future that was stolen from her. Why couldn’t the killer just wait until after the wedding? Then she’d have the last name she always dreamed of and no one would even have to pretend to love anyone.}}</ref> It's currently unknown what Pocket thinks of Mina.

=== {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}} ===
Mina idolises Lady Geist,<ref name=":3">{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Select|voice line]] (select) - ''"I hope I get to work with Lady Geist. She's an icon!"''</ref><ref name=":4">{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Enemy|voice line]] (Killed Lady Geist) - ''"I don't care that she tried to kill me. Lady Geist is amazing!"''</ref> who believes Mina has "potential".<ref name=":5">{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}'s in-game [[Lady Geist/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Mina) - ''"She has... Potential."''</ref> Mina wants to dress Geist for the [[wikipedia:Met_Gala|Met Gala]].<ref name=":6">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|file=Vampirebat kill ghost 05.mp3|context=(killed Lady Geist)|transcription=Well, that might have killed my chances of dressing her for the Met Gala.}}</ref>

=== {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} ===
Mina got carded at [[Jezebel's]] by Infernus on her 16th birthday and attempted to bribe him to let her stay.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Infernus): ''"That's for carding me on my 16th birthday."''</ref> Infernus denied the bribe as he didn't want to risk Jezebel's getting shut down.<ref name=":15">[[Graves/Quotes#Conversations|Graves & Infernus Conversation 1]]</ref> 

Even though at least 5 years have passed,<ref name=":11" /> Mina still resents Infernus.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Infernus)|transcription=Being killed by me is probably the highlight of your miserable life.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Mina/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Infernus)|transcription=Your stupid little bar is gonna close and there is nothing you can do about it.}}</ref>

Infernus hopes that Mina will mellow out as she gets older,<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Infernus|quotes=Infernus/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Mina)|transcription=Hopefully she'll mellow out as she gets older.}}</ref> and believes that there's no point in talking sense to Mina now as "she wouldn't listen anyways".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Infernus|quotes=Infernus/Quotes#enemies|context=(killed Mina)|transcription=No point talkin' sense to her. She wouldn't listen anyway.}}</ref>
