Miia (Monster Musume)

Miia is one of the main characters from the Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls series.
== Charactah Account ==
Miia is a lamia and the first girl that Ms. Smith just dumped off on Kimihito. It didn't take long for her to fall in love with him and she has little problem turning on the charm to try to get him to make a move.
As an exchange student from a race distinguished most by its seductiveness and high sex drive, Miia possesses a very lascivious personality. Initially, Miia is introduced as a cheerful yet ditsy girl whose transgressions of human norms (i.e: sneaking into Kimihito's bed and nearly strangling him in order to stay warm) seem attributable to mere naivete. However, as the series progresses, Miia increasingly reveals herself to be a calculating and possessive individual whose repeated transgressions against humanity's standards of behaviour are rooted in a single-minded obsession to make Kimihito hers at all costs.
Of all the girls at Kimihito's residence, Miia is by far the most domineering and hot-tempered. Whenever she feels that her claim on Kimihito is threatened, she is quick to lash out at the other girls and even Kimihito himself. Additionally, despite her flirtatious nature, she often becomes shy and embarrassed when Kimihito accidentally does something perverted towards her before (hypocritically) calling him a pervert or idiot and striking him with her tail.

== Trivia ==
* Her name ("Miia") is derived from her species name (Lamia), only if given an elongation kana. In chapter 10, her romanized name is shown to be "Meer" (which sounds "Miia" in non-rhotic accents), but that didn't catch on even in the official translation, so it was changed.
* Miia loves eating eggs. Before the other house guests arrived, Kimihito used to cook her eggs every day. Lately she's been enjoying eggs in Oden.
* In her youth, she enjoyed reading human fairy tales, and fantasized about being carried in the arms of a prince (Kurusu in this case). She was also quite shy.
* According to herself, Miia's waist is her most attractive physical trait.
* Miia has several traits similar to other anime/manga characters:
** The way she refers to Kurusu as "Daarin (Darling)" is very similar to how Lum refers to Ataru as "Daarin (Darling)" in Urusei Yatsura.
** The tip of Miia's tail is very sensitive, much like Lala from To LOVE-Ru
** Miia somewhat resembles Chizuru Minamoto from Kanokon in terms of personality, horrible cooking skills, and their desperate attempts to have sex with their lover.
* Attributing to her brash, careless and reckless behavior, Miia is arguably the most dangerous and hazardous of the home stays, as her obsessive affection for Kimihito has caused him very serious injuries in the past, and actually almost killed him on one occasion.
* In Chapter 10, she wears a military uniform, an eyepatch, and a beret with a FOX emblem, a clear shoutout to the Metal Gear franchise, specifically the character Big Boss, the protagonist in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (whose original code name was Naked Snake), Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and the Metal Gear Solid V games Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain.
** Later in Chapter 18, Miia dresses as Solid Snake and hides under a cardboard box (both of which being a shapeshifted Suu) while spying on Kurusu and Smith on a supposed "date".
* Chapter 27 reveals that Miia was sent into the Exchange program in order to find a communal husband for her tribe, and the very first to do so. Her mother later reveals that there are others in the tribe getting ready to do what Miia was sent for. The Lamia tribes traditionally procreate by kidnapping human men and forcing them into orgies with an entire village. However, since the enactment of the Interspecies Laws, this behavior has since became illegal, and the tribes have gotten a one-time warning to not repeat it.
** Due to this tradition, Miia has no idea who her father is. This doesn't bother her as it's simply a fact of her culture.
** It is possible that Miia has many half-sisters back home, as well aunts, the half-sisters of her mother.
* Miia likes to shop online for clothes, but tends to buy them too small. Kurusu then does alterations on them to fit her.
* On Twitter, the writer of the series drew Miia cosplaying as Elizabeth Liones from the manga Seven Deadly Sins, a previous role of the voice actress.
* In Chapter 1, Miia had human-like ears but this was very conspicuous.
* Profile Stickers and MonMusu Anime Twitter account revealed that her Birthday is October 31st.
* Miia and Centorea are currently the only girls among those living at the Kurusu House who have permission to leave the house without supervision. Miia due to her having a Independent Activity Pass, Centorea due to special privileges (as seen in chapter 4 and the fact that she takes morning runs).
* Kurusu mentions that he once made her a tail warmer that was 7 meters long. Therefore, it can be inferred that her tail is 7 meters long as well.
* She is confirmed to be a virgin in chapters 1 and 2.
