Mika Iwakura (岩倉 美香) is a character of the anime series Serial Experiments Lain.
Mika is Lain's older sister.
Story[]
During the course of the show, she slowly notices that her little sister is obsessed with computers to a point where it frightens her. This shock wasn't just because of how talented she was with them, but that she could do so much as even hack nearly anything related to computers, technology, and electricity. After this, a few obscure events happened such as when she mysteriously got locked in a bathroom with light off and written many times on the door "fulfills the prophecy", which ended up ruining her mental health. When Lain reboots the reality, she is seen briefly during a lunch with her family reminding her first apparition in the series where she did the same thing: leaving the table without finishing her meal.
Appearance[]
She is a sixteen year old student usually seen with her brown hair worn down outside the school and at home. Mika is occasionally seen wearing her school uniform and other various casual clothes, but never adorns herself with anything too out of the normal, leaving her appearance rather fitting and common.
Personality[]
Mika is shown to be an apathetic and somewhat rude to her younger sister and parents. She likes to have fun and hang out with her friends at Cyberia. At first, she doesn't seem to mind her family away from home and spends all day talking with them.
When she gets her mind trapped in the wired her physical self becomes a near empty hollow shell. With now and then delivering messages.
