History
Mujika was born 700 years ago. She is a demon who has never eaten a human. She first appeared as a savior in a starving town. She could give her powers to others with only her blood. The surrounding communities drank her blood and that demons don't need to eat humans and they maintain the powers of Mujika, But the king and the nobles who found out and they captured and killed them, because they feared her powers.

Mujika wears a long, floor length, layered, white dress with a cropped blue cloak over top.

Personality
Mujika deceived the children through an accommodating and kind attitude. She initially wanted to capture them and return them back to Grace Field – a selfish way for her and Sonju to be granted with an "easy life" for half a year. Nevertheless, she agreed with Sonju to rescue the escapees instead and kept both hers and his real, personal intentions of saving them.

According to Sonju, Mujika tends to be easily attached to others. This is shown when she started to actually care towards Emma and the escapees, often warning the former about dangers. Therefore, these actions showed how there are still some positive traits within her.

Due to being the only one surviving out of her friends and family due to being "different" from every other demon, Mujika began questioning her purpose in life and why she was alive. She couldn't make up her mind if she was glad she was born or not. After meeting Emma, Mujika thought that she was born to break the separation between humans and demons.

Promised Forest Arc
After the news of several Grace Field orphans who had escaped reached Sonju and Mujika, the two ran into Emma, Ray and the other Grace Field escapees by coincidence, who were lost within the forest.

Sonju and Mujika successfully rescued the Grace Field escapees from several demons as they brought them to their secret territory within a cave. The two aided in Emma's ear injury and provided hospitality for the orphans. Mujika talked to Emma in private, as she accommodated her and felt Emma's pain of losing a loved one, much so that she whispered to herself in her own language to express her concerns.

Mujika taught the kids about basic survival knowledge throughout their travels to Shelter B06-32. After Emma and the orphans departed, Sonju told Mujika on how he had hopes on Emma and her friends in bringing an end to The Promise, as he expressed his desire in breaking free from the restraint of eating humans due to his and Mujika's religious views as Heathens. Mujika did not respond, as she stared emotionlessly at her friend. Mujika.

King of Paradise Arc
Emma and Ray learn about Mujika that she is a savior and that if any demon drinks her blood there is no need for demon to eat humans. But the king and the nobles are afraid of her power so she and Sonju hide from them. Emma and Ray need to find Sonju and Mujika in five days. Mujika saw the amulent she gave to Emma and she sees Emma and she gives it again. They asked Sonju and Mujika for help and they agreed, and they went to the demon village.

Evil Blood
Mujika is a special demon who retains the characteristics and sapience of humans without requiring to consume them. Other demons who ingest a drop of her blood gain the same abilities and are also able to spread this unique body composition to other demons.

Sonju
Sonju and Mujika are of the same religion of exercising the restraint of eating humans and Sonju considers Mujika to be a close ally. Despite the two having a close relationship, both of their intentions occasionally clash, such as when Mujika is seemingly defiant of Sonju's desire to resume his practice of eating humans.

Emma
Out of all the orphans, Emma was the closest to Mujika, as Mujika wishes to be her friend and treated Emma like a daughter. Mujika eventually grew more affectionate and accommodating, as she was willing to listen to Emma's stories and relate to Emma's pain of losing Norman.

In the end, Mujika slowly grows genuine care and concern for the orphans, as pointed out by Sonju that she has been getting attached to them. Mujika also grew to be trustful to Emma, as she believed how she is able to search for The Seven Walls and passed her an eye-shaped locket as a "lucky charm".

When Emma learn about Mujika and Norman still wants to kill her and Sonju Emma said to Norman that she don't want Mujika and Sonju to be killed because they are good demons.

Grace Field Escapees
When the news of the escape of the Grace Field orphans spread to her. Mujika initially suggested capturing them and bringing them back to Grace Field, but later agreed with Sonju to protect and rescue the orphans from getting hunted by the demons from the farms instead.

Mujika aided them and provided hospitality, and when she was around them, put on a motherly and loving persona to conceal her actual intention of capturing them; stemming from how she followed Sonju's then-hidden intention of considering them a way to break The Promise that was created, and eventually, a way for him (and Mujika) to break free of his restraint from consuming human flesh. However, she formed an attachment to the Escapees (Particularly Emma).
