- "The other bloodsuckers are all so violent! They bite you with their teeth to drink blood. It's barbaric! But I can be much more gentle."
- â Moskii.[1]
Moskii is a Mosquito. Originally participating in the Inter-Species Cultural Exchange Exposition looking for a host, she eventually wound up sharing a residence with three other blood-sucking Liminals.[1][2]
Appearance[]
Moskii has the appearance of a thin and tanned girl with white short hair with dark eyes.
As a Mosquito, her physical traits are her bug-like wings, four insectoid arms, her black antennae on her head, and her abdomen on her back. Her arms and legs are striped black and white all the way to the upper thighs and upper arms.
She wears a mini-skirt held up by belts, a crop top in the form of a buttonless shirt that is tied into a knot just below her cleavage. She also wears arm socks and stockings that covers her wrists to mid-arms and ankles to mid-thighs respectively. Her thongs are exposed on her hips.
Personality[]
Of all her bloodsucking roommates, Moskii is the most level-headed and usually gets along quite well with them. However, she can also be quick to anger when any of her roommates become unruly as she gets annoyed easily by their antics. She resents Leechi the most, especially due to the Leech girl's penchant for being naked around the house most of the time, which Moskii finds very uncomfortable.
Moskii is also quite proud of her traits as a Mosquito, as she claims to Kimihito that her style of bloodsucking is "much more gentle" than the other "brutal and barbaric" bloodsucking Liminals due to her anaesthetic saliva. As seen in the omake of Volume 12, Moskii reacts quite angrily and insulted that her species is discredited with transmitting deadly diseases through their stings, although these fears only apply to animal mosquitoes and are justified.
Skills & Traits[]
Physical Traits[]
- Mosquito Physiology:
- Flight: Using her insectoid wings, Moskii can fly. However, she must retain her petite figure and light weight to do so, and cannot fly if she gained too much weight.[2]
- Anaesthetic Saliva: To aid in the sucking of blood, Moskii's saliva has strong anaesthetic properties. Just licking on a certain part of a body causes all feeling of pain to disappear there. Moskii seems to be quite proud of this fact, as it makes Mosquito's far less violent bloodsuckers in her opinion. However, it seems that Moskii's anaesthetic saliva is not as effective as she believes, as Kimihito's reaction to the sting clearly shows that he did feel pain.[1]
- Proboscis: Hidden in her mouth, above her tongue is an extendable, sharp proboscis that she uses to suck blood.[1]
Plot[]
Moskii was working at the Inter-Species Cultural Exchange Exposition as a waitress
Zoological Classification[]
Mosquitos are an insectoid pseudohuman race who have four insectoid limbs, antennae, compound eyes, an insect abdomen, wings and other traits of a mosquito.
Members of the race posses a needle-like proboscis inside their mouths that they use to penetrate the skin of their prey and suck liquids such as blood. Their saliva possesses anesthetic properties that they spread over the flesh of their prey before penetrating them. While they mainly subsist on blood, they can also drink honey and fruit juices.
They're concerned that there are very few partners to suck blood from during their study abroad.
Trivia[]
- Moskii is dressed like Shimakaze from Kantai Collection.
- Moskii possessing small breasts is possibly a reference to the term "mosquito bite breasts", where a person's breasts are so small that they are similar in appearance to the swelling of a mosquito bite.
- Moskii's appearance is based on the aedes mosquito.
- Moskii's name is a pun on the word "mosquito".
- In her introduction, Moskii was originally shown to have only two arms, but later in the Omake, as well as the second OAD's endcard, she is shown to have four arms.
- This was eventually corrected with Volume 12's release, where she is consistently depicted with four arms.
- Okayado states that the chapter where Yatsume, Leechi and Moskii first appeared in Chapter 49 and Chapter 50 were very incomplete when they were released, and as an apology, he asked fans to choose to be one of the male background characters that appeared in the chapter (that's why they all had numbers). He added them in the final release of the volume, along with fixes on the three girls: a more gyaru appearance for Moskii + two more arms; a more shiny appearance to her skin and suit for Leechi + some sort of eye emojis on her face; more makeup for Yatsume (lipstick, rouge, etc).
- In real life, only female mosquitoes actually feed on blood and they only do so because they need the proteins in the blood to create and grow their eggs. The fact that Moskii also feed on honey and fruit juices is a reference to the fact that mosquitoes actually feed on plant juices.
