Background

Shiho Miyano and her older sister Akemi, were born into the secret crime syndicate "The Black Organization". She was born to an English mother, Elena Miyano, and a Japanese father, Atsushi Miyano. Both of whom were members of the organization, and deceased. A prodigy, she was sent to the United States for education at a very young age, then later came back to Japan to finish her parents' secret project for the organization. Her nickname in the Organization is "Sherry", after the alcohol.

Ai Haibara

Personality

A bit quiet, though this may be due to her caution to keep herself hidden from the Black Organization. She is sometimes cold and very analytical, however, there are times where she softens her demeanor and reveals herself to be a true friend. She is a loner and misses her older sister, Akemi, greatly (as witnessed in Movie 5: Countdown to Heaven where she would call her sister's old apartment just to hear her voice on the voicemail). Her greatest fear is being caught by the BO and she is especially terrified of Gin. Smart, stubborn, and with a somewhat twisted sense of humor, she tries to keep Conan from doing reckless things that my give away their identity, though often she is surprised by his actions that usually result in his gaining the information he needs while also keeping their identities secret.

Relationship analysis

Ai Haibara seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits to it. Indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friend or otherwise. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence, she finds it easier to talk to him. There are instances where she will caution him from actions that involve Ran, though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. She is noticeably quieter around Ran and is known for not speaking to her often if at all.

Mitsuhiko seems to have heavy romantic feelings for Ai. Ai uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also does admire his courage during missions the Detective Boys must perform.
