== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Mia was born in a capitalist hellhole, plagued by poor living conditions, a disturbing and depressing work and school life, and a rough life in general. Mia had to care for both her parents and her little brother, Youri. Times were hard. Money was short.
Mia's brother died of a usually curable sickness, but they could not finance his treatment. Two months later, Mia's mother, Carina Zikovica, also died from her cancer. At this time, Mia was very depressed and wanted to get out, but didn’t do so because of her ill father, Gabriel Zikovica. A big strike broke out, and Gabriel went out to protest. Mia went with him. But the protest escalated, and shots were fired by the police. Mia saw her father was wounded and tried to save him, but got arrested. 
Two days later, Mia was told, while still detained, that her father died of his wounds. Mia then spent half a year in jail but got released early because no real evidence was found against her. Though she was free, she lost everything: her family and all hopes for this nation. So Mia decided to run away—go far in hopes of new possibilities. After nearly a year of traveling the earth, Mia was told by an old woman in a small town that a nation exists—a nation without capitalism, where people can live free and up to their standards. So she went there and stumbled over a town called Transaria. The people were so kind, loving, and accepting—something that she had never experienced in her old nation. 
=== Arrival to Transaria ===
Mia's start in Transaria was met with warmth as she was welcomed by the town’s mayor at the time, Ren Kuvala. She was very excited to connect with the community of the town. The people were kind to Mia, providing her with resources and tools to start her new life. Mia quickly developed a passion for mining to provide for the nation, which led her to spend month after month in the mines, extracting gold, copper, diamonds, and every other valuable material she could find.
Her outstanding work did not go unnoticed. Yumiko, Transaria's renowned architect, gifted Mia a Netherite Pickaxe with Mending. Even though Yumiko had only known Mia for a few weeks, she was certain that giving Mia this expensive tool was no mistake, and indeed it wasn't. With the new pickaxe, Mia mined more efficiently than ever before, selling her goods to the nation for money that she then donated to the state.
After only a few weeks of hard work, Mia was awarded her first "Worker of the Week" title by the Zilatras Industrial Commissariat. This recognition motivated her to continue her mining operations, a commitment she maintained for several years. By the end of her mining career, Mia had donated tons of resources to the state and an outstanding amount of $1,000,000. Her dedication earned her the prestigious medals: the "Order of Gaszalasi," the "Order of Hafumelya," and the "Order of Lasajiya."
At this point, Mia decided to pause her mining efforts to focus on other pursuits, such as politics and the development of her beloved town. With her experience and the connections she had forged over the years, Mia was ready to take on new challenges and work towards a brighter future for Transaria.
=== Political career ===
Mia loved her nation and cared deeply for Transaria, driven by a desire to improve the town as much as she could. She noticed that progress was painfully slow, especially since Mayor Ren Kuvala had just become the General Secretary of Zilatra. This troubled Mia, prompting her to run for a seat on the Council when the opportunity arose. Though she was still new and inexperienced, she felt a strong conviction that she could bring about meaningful change.
Using her artistic skills, Mia created eye-catching propaganda to support her campaign. She held her first election event at the Transaria Tavern, designed to answer questions from the townspeople and understand their expectations for her potential term. Thanks to this effort and her compelling promotional material, Mia secured one of the three seats in the newly formed council, which included Ren Kuvala, Amy, and herself. As luck would have it, the other two council members were rather inactive, allowing Mia to take the lead.
Beginning her initiatives by advocating for more apartments to be built alongside Yumiko, one of Mia's central campaign promises was to enhance community events. She organized the first Transarian Mining Competition to boost the town's storage for communal use. This event turned out to be a resounding success. Although her powers were limited as a council member, Ren Kuvala recognized Mia's exceptional contributions and promoted her to Co-Mayor. Empowered to welcome new residents into the town, Mia effectively stepped into the role of mayor while Ren focused on her duties as General Secretary.
Motivated by her new responsibilities, Mia set out to improve the local industry, ensuring workers received the recognition they deserved for their hard work. During this time, Mia also served a term in the Kelita. However, when Abexilas went dark for several weeks, she could only create art pieces for her town and nation. But when Abexilas returned, Mia's career gained remarkable momentum. With Ren's retirement, Mia, being the most invested citizen, was appointed as the new mayor of Transaria.
=== Mayor of Transaria ===
Now in a position of full control over the town's progress, Mia wasted no time implementing significant changes. For the first time, builders and brewers were compensated for their contributions. Additionally, she began demolishing old buildings that clashed with the town's evolving aesthetic, planning to create more beautiful and fitting structures.
Mia improved the factory to ensure workers could labor more efficiently and comfortably. This period came to be known as "The Golden Age of Transaria." Productivity soared, and the town's population reached unprecedented heights. Soon after, the monthly census revealed that Transaria had become the most populous town in the entire nation—a testament to the hard work of Mia and the townspeople.
Following Ren's retirement, Mia called for a revote to solidify her position as mayor through democratic means. Once again, she organized an election event and crafted compelling propaganda for her campaign. When the votes were counted, it was official: Mia Zikovika was the new mayor, with Lenja serving as her Co-Mayor.
With her new role, Mia aimed high. To the east of Transaria loomed a giant mountain, its rugged terrain severely hindering the town's growth. In a bold move, she decided it had to go. Mia and Lenja took decisive action and removed the entire mountain in record time, making way for substantial expansion.
However, this monumental change did not come without consequences. When the government of Zilatra learned of the removal, they summoned Mia and Lenja for a heated discussion. A previous agreement with Ren stated that the mountain should never be removed, creating significant tension. Since it was already gone, Mia argued that rebuilding it in the same location was unreasonable. Ultimately, an agreement was reached, and a new mountain would need to be created elsewhere.

This outcome, though challenging, was still a victory, as the new mountain would be relocated to the coast, providing Transaria with ample room for growth. In record time, Lenja designed a more aesthetically pleasing mountain at the coast, and Mia had it constructed in just one day. Yet, the government’s scrutiny brought criticism on certain buildings, requiring Mia to rethink the town's layout.
With Lenja's assistance, Mia embarked on a comprehensive evaluation of the town. Old structures were scheduled for demolition, while new ones awaited construction—a long-term project she eagerly embraced. Additionally, Mia proposed a sister town agreement between Hafumel and Transaria to strengthen the bond between the two communities. She also welcomed the Cubist Religion to hold events in Transaria, enhancing the town’s popularity and providing enriching activities for its citizens.
=== Nether psychosis ===
When Abexilas closed for several weeks and the new Nether update dropped, Mia was eager to take advantage of the new ways to gain resources, weapons, and money. She was one of the first to join the new world, quickly amassing wealth due to the cheap selling prices of quartz. After that was nerfed, Mia decided to try her hand at boss hunting and quickly developed a passion for it. She fought boss after boss for weeks on end, acquiring a plethora of valuable weapons, totems, and other resources. During that time, Mia became one of the most well-known boss hunters on the server.
However, this relentless pursuit took a toll on her. Progress became increasingly challenging and frustrating, but the rewards were worth it. Once Abexilas reopened, Mia was happy to retire from boss hunting, leaving with the riches she had accumulated. In a show of generosity, she donated thousands of dollars worth of totems and potions to the military, earning herself another medal for her contributions.
== Artistic contributions ==
From the beginning of her career, Mia was eager to provide Transaria and Zilatra with propaganda and artworks. These creations would be used in announcements to the nation, in advertisements for contests, to promote the military, or simply for the enjoyment of the people. Mia made a name for herself with her artistic skills, ultimately earning the prestigious "Hero of Culture" medal for her contributions.
