^^Mizuki went out of her way to present as a girl for her friend group, wanted her friends to assume that she's a girl, which is just generally a girl thing to do, with not much evidence to the contrary that I know of. (She could only be outed as trans to Ena if Ena assumed that Mizuki was a cis girl.) As for Mizuki being nonbinary, that is a separate (though not unrelated) question. "Nonbinary" is not a gender, but an umbrella term for gender identities that take more words to explain than strictly just "male" or "female".
As for pronouns, Mizuki effectively doesn't "have" any as long as she's in a Japanese environment. I prefer using she/her for her because otherwise I feel like I'm singling her out from her group just because she's trans. But I just see this as an artifact of discussing her in English, not a case of Mizuki "having" these pronouns.
