Identifying Characteristics
The most prominent ones are her hair and her eyes. Both have the color of strong Azure, clearly unhuman and ressembling the surface of clear water.
Her hairstyle is not really a hairstyle, she just let's it loose. Each strand of hair is moving on it's own, as if it was moved by the movements of waters surrounidng it, even if there is no body of water at all. They overall move as if Mizu herself was always wholy submerged.
Her eyes are showing the patterns ressembling the waves on the water surface, they are reported to be incredibely present in the human minds, focusing all of the attention of the observer's consciousness purely on them.
Mizu's voice also sounds slightly more harmonious than that of a human to the degree that, while comepltly and clearly understandable it still creates inhuman impression.
Apparel & Accessories
Her typical clothing consists of the loose, flowy, sleeveless white dress, in the style ressembling that of the Old Yamaian. It's generally worn in a way that would make easy to discard it quickly if the situation nessecitate that, for example during he fight, where the dress would limit the movements.
Underneath the dress, Mizu wears dark blue, rather tight outfit, specifically for the purpose of giving the range of movement during martial arts. It covers most of the body including the legs, but is sleeveless.
Jewelry is sometimes used, when she doesn't expect fighing, but is rather limited in scope.
Mizu is exclusively barefoot, due to the stability and movement control during the fights combined with the fact that as a goddess, she doesn't really need protection on the feet. Sometimes, she wears, static, unintrusive jewelry on her ankles.

She's also well renown for her paintings and sculpture, being gifted the artistic talent. She can use her hands for it, but most of the time she actually aavoids doing it. Most of her works are made by her directly altering the reality, bypassing the need for the manual imput all together, projecting her thoughs and ideas onto canvas or stone.
She's well-versed in the human anatomy and the way the human bodies are working. Her knowledge and the understanding can be used by her in various ways. She can fix the broken bodies, harm them further or alter them in various directions, achieving the new art forms with the human flesh. According to her, unfortunately, physically breaking humans is way easier than fixing them.
Mizu posses the vast knowledge of the topic of water, which she uses to make it her tool she can use whatever she wants. Her skills in that regard are most often the primary topic of the prayers of her faithful.
She's really bad in the board games, despite her playing a lot with her brother. She's also terrible with most of manual labor not realted to her areas of expertise and would gladly just alter the reality, no matter how much effort it would take rather than just use her own hands.

Virtues & Personality perks
Mizu is genuinely caring and tries to maintyain friendly relationship with her brother and other divine retainers of Shinyama. Moreover, despite not really understanding humans to full extent, she treats them as people and shows them real compassion, very often more than humans higher in the hierarchy shows others under them. She also is well aware of her limitations because of that lack of relatedness. she barely enforces any rules directly on a human society, even if she considers the people of Kosui her subjects.
Friendly and full of compassion even for the most of criminals, onnce they manage to talk with her. She's willing to give second chances, provided they show real attempt of changing the ways of life. Quite creative and friendly.
Vices & Personality flaws
Unapologetic whens she thinks her convictions are right, even when it comes to rather petty things. She can be deadly serious about topics many would think as not really that important. Few people has managed to lose their lives in a few seconds via the sword slash by saying wrong words or doing incorrect actions in the proximity of Mizu. Downplaying the importantce of the blade can be the most dangerous thing (including undirectly asking her of unsheathing the sword in a wrong circumstances), next to making active threats to either Kosui, Shinyama or people living there, humans or gods.
She can get rather whiny and annoying about things she personally dislikes. Im moments like that she's extremely stubborn and refuses to cooperate.
If you push her hard enough via your betrayal, she feels no remorse and shows zero mercy.
