 Biography

Mia is the only child of her mother Seqouia, a stereotypical hippie/yoga instructors who holds open meditations, and sometimes nudist backyard parties. Sequoia also makes and sells instructional yoga videos, which she often asks for Mia's input on. Mia's mother is dating a man named Roger who Mia doesn't like much, he's a big believer in essential oils.

Mia and her mother were always close though she feels that she's 'over the top'. Sequoia is also aware of Mia's feelings for Marley.

Mia herself is very reactive and judgmental, but doesn't feel she's unkind - or try to be. She cares very much about her friends and has been in love with her best friend, Marley, since ninth grade. She used to identify as bisexual but now identifies as a lesbian, and has never been with a man. She's never had a girlfriend either though she did make out with a friend in high school.

* In Ep 4 when the group meets up after the trip they conclude that Stella, Matt, Mia and Lois clearly under the influence of a curse. *"[Matt, Stella and Mia] entered the room, finding not just Anita but Marley and Ira sitting at the main library table, all pouring over a small hill of texts. “How was the field trip?” Anita turned, looking up from the book she had been holding while she paced.*

*“Bad,” Mia said. “Very bad. Something’s going on. We thought it would get better on the bus, but it’s not getting any better.”*

*“What’s not getting any better?” Marley asked.*

*“The voices,” Stella said.*

*“And I want to crawl up in a ball and die,” Mia volunteered. “So much.”*

*The library doors swung inwards, Lois striding in looking pretty peeved. “Something freaky is going on.”*

*Anita stared, for a moment dumbstruck, it was a lot of information to take in.*

*“There’s some kind of magic going on, maybe a spell or a curse. It could even be on the museum,” Matt sits on the stairs, so grateful to have physical distance between himself and everyone else.*

*“It’s been making us act crazy,” Stella agrees. “But, in different ways. Matt’s being awkward.”*

*Matt frowns at the comment and adds his own. “And Stella’s been hallucinating and running around.” He motions running by walking his fingers across the air.*

*“And you’re what, again?” Ira asked.*

*“Sad. Very sad. I know I’m not the glowiest person but I kind of want to sink through the earth.”*

*“I want to jump off balconies,” Lois said. “And in front of school buses, apparently. I guess I’m emo now.”*

*“That isn’t nice,” Mia said.*

*“What isn’t nice?” Lois asked.*

*“To say emo kids do that. Some of them are just expressing themselves.”*

*“What, girl?” Lois asked. “Are you kidding, right now?”*

*Ira interrupted quickly. “Is it getting worse or has there been no change?”*

*It was a good question, one Anita should have asked. She shook her head, snapping out of her stupor.*

*“I’d say it’s getting worse,” Mia said. “How do we even fight something like this? It’s magic, we don’t know magic! We’re totally doomed.”*

*“I’ll sort everything,” Anita attempts to comfort the group of panicking teenagers. “I’m certain someone has either done this purposefully to you or you’ve come in contact with a curse of some kind. We can search the texts for some sort of reversal spell, or the exact spell that’s done this in the first place.”*

* During "Presence of Mind" (Ep 4) Parent Teacher Conference's Mia and her mother talk. Mia talks about not liking Ira because he's hanging out with Marley too much. Her mother tells her not to be hateful. She blurted out her feelings about Marley to her mother when she was fifteen and regrets it because she hates when Sequoia mentions it at all. *"Mia stood alongside her mother, waiting outside the door of a classroom behind a few parents. It seemed that her teacher had double booked. “Do you see them?” Mia asked her mother, a woman in loose off white-clothing, her hair pushed back in a very outdated and very 70’s headband.*

*“They are standing right there, Sweetie.”*

*“I think it’s just weird they’re constantly talking now. Like, when did that start happening? Ira’s a total loser, anyway.”*

*“Mia,” her mother said gently. “There’s no reason to be hateful. I know you have strong feelings for Marley, but if you don’t do anything about them then you can’t be mad when she is interested in someone else.”*

*Mia squirmed, uncomfortable. She didn’t like when her mother acknowledged this, she’d told her in a moment of pure stupidity when she was fifteen. She’d tried once to tell her she was totally over it but her mother hadn’t believed her. “I don’t want to talk about this,” Mia said.*

*“You did bring it up,” Sequoia pointed out, letting it go as the teacher called their name to come into the classroom."*

* During "Presence of Mind" when Raven, Solea and Pixie attempt to open the seal it begins an earthquake during Parent Teacher Conferences.
* After the conferences end the group sneaks back to the library to perform the counter-spell with Anita. Anita, Stella and Mia perform the spell and break the curse. They agree they have to figure out what Raven and the others were up to in the basement.
* Mia's interest in witchcraft has grown by Ep 5 "Party Crashers". She has bought her own spellbook and attempts a spell which accidentally manipulates the free will of the people around her.
* During "Party Crashers" Mia confides in Matt about being gay and her feelings for Marley, though she is mostly drunkenly talking to herself. "In "Party Crashers" Ep 5 Matt notices Mia is upset and comes to sit with her. She, talking mostly to herself, basically tells him that she's gay and into Marley, but "without telling him". *"He plops beside Mia on the stairs. “Hey buddy. You look a little down.”*

*“Yeah, not really feeling it. I should have known better than to go to one of Lois’ parties.”*

*“Aw, come on, it’s not really that bad.” He knocks his shoulder in to hers. “We’re a match made in heaven right now. A vampire and a watcher. Two peas in a pod.”*

*“Aren’t they like natural enemies?” Mia said. Across the room Marley and Ira were dancing. Still. They were both smiling like idiots too.*

*“Yeah, but we’re not.” He smiles, playing with the end of his tie. “Look at us, breaking supernatural stereotypes.” He follows her train of eyesight. “Yeah, they’re an interesting pair. I get why you might be a little jealous, I am too. Ira’s my best pal and I haven’t really talked to him in a few days.” He watches his friend accidentally spill some of his drink, a little bit drunk over there. He chuckles. “But circumstances are a-changing, friendships a-forming. Like me and you.” His flirtation is evident.*

*Mia was clueless, and a little confused. “You like Ira? I thought you were straight.”*

*“What?” Matt had been lost in his reverie, looking at his friend. He breaks away, brow furrowed at Mia. “Ira’s my best friend. No relation to my sexuality whatsoever, and yes, I do happen to be straight.”*

*“Oh,” Mia said, not really getting it. “Yeah, I thought that because you and Stella seem to get along a lot.”*

*“Also has no relation to my sexuality,” he scoffs with a grin. “There’s such a thing as just being friends with someone, you know.”*

*“Yes, but people get stuck in that,” Mia said frustrated. “You should just try and flirt with her.” She wished she could just do that. “Marley’s never even dated a girl.”*

*Still completely lost, Matt looks back at Marley and Ira, still mostly talking to herself. Usually she was so quiet about these kinds of things, but right now she was tipsy, and angry - so angry. “Why would Marley date a girl?” Matt asked, still confused.*

*“She should at least try it,” Mia said. “But it could ruin our friendship and I don’t want to risk that. I can’t imagine not having her in my life.”*

*Matt can’t believe his own ears. Mia was talking as if she had feelings for Marley. Was Mia gay? And the way she was talking about it… was he supposed to already know this?*

*“Oh…” he stammers, struggling to find the words that would make it normal. “Yeah. Right.”"*

* Mia is attacked and almost killed by a demon during Ep 5. Lois saves her using a fireplace poker to stab the creature. Mia attempts to attack the troll with the fireplace poker but is unsuccessful.
* In "Party Crashers" (Ep 5) all are present when Lois' house starts falling apart. Anita shows up and gives Marley a weapon to kill the troll. Mia confesses that the spell is her fault. *"Her silver Coupe sped through the comfortable suburbs of the neighborhood, when she stopped in front of the house she saw that Lois had neglected to mention it was falling apart. She could hear screaming as she slammed her car door, snagging her weapons bag by the leather-y black strap and running for the house. A roar around the backyard won her attention, the tall picket fence concealing one of the people engaged in combat, but not the other which towered above- a troll. Why in the world was there a troll there?*

 *Anita ran for the gate, unlatching it in record time. When she threw it open she saw Marley, her suspicions confirmed that it was indeed a troll. She was baffled for half a second, but there was no time for hesitation, or confusion. She threw down her weapons bag, hurrying to unzip it as the sound of fists hitting flesh and battle cries sounded behind her. She lifted a long sabre from the bag, unsheathing it with a hiss. The sharp silver blade was perfect for penetrating thick flesh, and she turned to holler to Marley. Marley stood on the edge of a massive below ground pool, the troll clumsily throwing its fists at her as she led it around the corner. Anita ran over, calling out the girls name then throwing the sword. Marley struck out her hand, catching it around the grip.*

 *Marley engages in a one-sided dance with the beast, moving in a synchronized fashion of striking and pulling back. She slices him across the belly, further angering him. Matt, Topher and Stella were outside, watching on with Ira, Lois, Mia and Anita.*

 *Lois goes to stand by Topher’s side, stunned to see him out here, but also happy he isn’t dead.*

 *“Hey,” he greets, eyes trained on the battle like a ping pong match. “Great party.” He wipes the back of his hand on his shirt, green blood staining it.*

 *The troll clips Marley, knocking her with his fist and picking her up by her shirt to throw her. She turns the toss in to a cartwheel, hanging on to his bulky fist to support her weight. She swings the sword up high and brings it down in to the center of his belly, still holding his arm as she pulls it back out with all her clenching strength and sends it back in, forcing the troll to stab itself.*

 *It collapses on to its back, shaking the ground but not quite dead. It gasps, eyes glazed.*

 *Marley almost feels bad as she bring the sword down into the center of its face. Almost.*

 *Stella shields her eyes to avoid watching the bloody final blow. It isn’t something she thinks she’ll ever be ready for.*

 *Matt, on the other hand, is cheering for Marley, whooping and clapping his hands. He’d never known a slayer, but so far he was very impressed. As quickly as she’d been chosen she’d surpassed his own father.*

 *The backyard is suddenly filled with exciting chatter.*

 *“What is going on?” Topher asks Lois, a big smile on his face. “I’ve never done anything like that,” he looks down at his gooey shirt then at the dead troll. “I’ve never seen anything like that!” He points.*

 *“Wait,” Matt scratched his head, one mystery still bugging him. “What happened tonight? Was it Raven, again? Did she mess with our personalities, again?”*

 *“And make demons attack?” Marley chimes in. “What was that?” Her eyes flash to Anita. She wasn’t exactly sure why her watcher was here, but she knew if anyone had answers it would be her.*

 *Mia slowly steps forward, clearing her throat. She looks like she wants to disappear.*

 *“I have something to say,” she announced, as if they hadn’t all looked at her when she stepped up. “This is all my fault. I-I did a spell.”*

 *“What sort of spell?” Anita asked sternly.*

 *“I found it at a book from the dollar store! I didn’t think it would actually work. Ever since last week, I’ve been feeling depressed. The feeling went away, but not completely,” Mia said, which was a half-truth, if not somewhat watered down. “So I did a spell, for bending will. Because I wanted to will myself all better. Get it?”*

 *“Get it?” Lois asked. “Get it? Look at my house!”*

 *Anita frowned. “I’ll need to see that book, Mia.”*

 *Matt can’t believe what he’s hearing. He expected much more from Mia, especially since he’d gotten to know her a little better and they’d actually become friends. People should know better than to mess with magic, that stuff isn’t a game. Realization dawns on him. “You’re the reason I was…” his eyes flicker toward Stella, who is still looking way too hot for his liking. His face flushes.*

 *“Is that why Ira and I were acting so…” she shrugs. “Teenaged?” she shakes her head, stunned. “And also the demons. Holy shit, Mia. Why would you do something like this? The demons were an accident, right?”*

 *“Of course,” Mia said. “I would never hurt anyone on purpose.”*

 *“That girl is in the hospital, because of you!” Lois said. “Whether it was on purpose or not, that’s on you!”*

 *“Lois,” Ira said firmly.*

 *“No,” Lois said, shaking her head. She wouldn’t be told off when Mia was clearly in the wrong. “It is her fault. That’s the truth.”*

 *Anita was on the phone behind them, talking in a hushed tone. She nodded to herself and hung up. Lois turned to look at her. “So? Can they like, fix my house?” Lois didn’t actually believe it, but she had to ask. “There’s got to be a spell for this or something.”*

 *“They’re bringing a truck,” Anita said.*

 *“A truck?” Lois asked, baffled. “A truck for what?”*

* In "Bloodrites and Sacrifices" (Ep 7) Clifton fills everyone in on what he knows. They all piece together that Stella has been abducted for a virgin sacrifice to raise Adonis. *"“What do you know about Raven?” he directs his attention to the watcher.*

 *“We… don’t know much.” She hates to admit it.*

 *“Let me enlighten you,” Clifton clears his throat, walking toward the table. “Raven is a 400 year old vampire responsible for hundreds if not thousands of deaths in both Europe and the United States. She and her former romantic companion and sire, Adonis, travelled, leaving bodies behind them everywhere they went. They hit every state and left them in a trail. Many hunters have tried to take them on, many have failed.”*

 *Matt hangs on his father’s every word, information he neglected to tell even him.*

 *“She even sired a ten year old girl she took in as her own and taught to torment and kill in the same twisted manner. These vampires are old. They’re wise.”*

 *“What about the blonde?” Matt asks.*

 *“That’s Solea,” he answers. It bothers him that his son even had an encounter with the vampires. “They turned her in the 1960’s.”*

 *“What happened to Adonis?” Ira inquires, arms crossed.*

 *“He was trapped in a hell dimension in the 1980’s by a group known as ‘Apostle’. They were an alliance of hunters and witches who formed for the purpose of trapping him, along with Raven, Solea and the little girl, Pixie. They only successfully captured Adonis before they were slaughtered by Raven. He’s been trapped since while they walk free. Their trail of blood isn’t as thick as it once was, but they’ve only slowed down out of necessity. For survival.”*

 *“Wait a minute,” Mia steals the spotlight, flipping through the pages of the book of blood rites. “I passed this one ritual without really considering it. It involves the ‘raising of an undead’, a - a transfer through dimensions, of sorts. It’s really black magic, dark stuff. As much as any of this is, I guess.”*

 *Anita takes the book, reading through it with scanning eyes. “It says that less powerful alternatives to this ritual involve the bone marrow of an enemy’s descendant.” She quirks a brow, the truth settling in.*

 *“There’s something else, too…” Anita frowns, placing the book on the table.*

 *“What is it?” Matt swallows.*

 *“Virgin sacrifice,” Mia finishes for the watcher."*

* After meeting with Rory Flick about the prophecy, Marley & Anita delegate the team to different sections of South Howell. When it becomes apparent they aren't at the mall, Marley and Anita go to the arcade and find the results of the massacre. They tell the others Raven was successful and Adonis is back.
* In Ep 9 "Bitterroot" the group is in a car accident. Piper breaks her arm and Mia gets a mild concussion. The van is totaled and the group is stranded. A storm begins to brew and Ira goes missing after searching for a stick for Piper's cast. Marley and Mia go looking for Ira, while Topher decides that he wants to retrace their steps back along the road and see if he can get back to the gas station. Lois goes with him but they ultimately turn back. Mia and Marley find a cabin in the woods with ritualistic writing and a hay man inside. Matt, Piper and Stella lay low at camp. Marley and Mia find Ira and drag him back to the camp, where Stella tends to his wounds. Topher and Lois return, unsuccessful in getting help. Over the night Lois sees a wendigo attack a wild animal, Lois wakes Marley who says they'll deal with it in the morning. Stella makes everyone pancakes and they realize Ira has a fever. Some of the group doubt Lois saw what she said she did.
* In "Genesis" (Ep 11), Mia overviews her mother's new yoga video and briefly discusses her mother's 'naked' parties. Sequoia did not notice Mia was missing, believing supporting her independence to be extremely important.

* Has an octopus phone case
* Reading Moby Dick to see what the fuss is about
* Mia was conceived during an Orgy, Sequoia doesn't know who her father is and had no interest in finding out. She was absolutely thrilled when she found out.

#### Friendships

```
Marley

```

Mia and Marley met when Mia was walking her dog and Marley was shooting bottles in a field. She came narrowly close to shooting Mia.

*"She almost shot me, actually.” -* Mia

*"You know her Uncle’s a cop, right? Well, I guess you wouldn’t know that. So he’s a cop-*,” she continued. “*And Marley decided it would be a fantastic idea to borrow one of his guns, and with all the experience of a freshman girl set out to shoot bottles off the lake. I was walking there with my dog and I feel something go whizzing by my face, it was so loud. Then I turned and saw Marley with the gun.”*

* Mia worries about Marley a lot, in *"Boy's Suck*" (Ep 2) she is the first to realize something is amiss. *“It’s Marley,” Mia said, beginning to pace through Matt’s living room. “Her cellphone is dead and I called her house but her uncle said she isn’t there. She has so much going on and now that she knows she’s the slayer. Scenario A, she took off - not good. Scenario B and something has got her. Also not good.”* Her opinion on Marley having to be the slayer is similar. *“I don’t want South Howell to turn evil, and I don’t want Marley to have to be the slayer. She should have a choice. She doesn’t need this, she has her own life.”*
* In "Pandora's Box" (Ep 3) Mia and Marley have a conversation about Marley's identity impacting her relationships. "*Marley was beginning to need a break from her best friend. The one night out that was supposed to be chill was turning out to be another night of interrogations and ‘Marley, you okay?’ She understood people were worried, she was worried, but she hated the worrying and she just wanted to have a smoke and hangout for a while.*

*“I’m good, Mi. Just tryna… smoke. I do appreciate the concern.”*

*“Oh,” Mia said. She could understand why her friend was frustrated but it was just as frustrating being in the dark. “I just don’t know what else to say I guess. Failing an english test just so doesn’t compare to what you’ve got going on.”*

*“Please, Mia, that’s exactly what I wanna hear about. Anything other than demons and vampires and tests in labyrinths.”'*

* Mia's first encounter with a demon is in "Pandora's Box" (Ep 3) [In Ep 1 she witnessed the dead demon but did not see it when it was alive] *"With one spiked bulky shoulder weighing down half his body, he limps in her direction, ominous roars stretching his razored mouth wide.*

*Marley took several steps backwards, taking Mia with her.*

*Its arms were long and thick, extending out like tree branches ready to whack people with. This time it stops moving to roar, so demonic and loud it vibrates through the room. And then it one quick audible flash he’s gone, stunning the two girls.*

*He reappears behind them in a blue light and lifts an arm, bringing it back down to smack down on Mia.*

*Marley recovers quickly from the shock, gripping Mia by the collar of her coat and ripping her backwards to push to the cement, taking her place to attempt to grab it’s arm mid-swing. She fails, miscalculating the heftiness of such an arm, and is very quickly knocked to the ground, her world going shaky for a few moments.*

*She has just enough time to come back from it to roll to her left, narrowly avoiding a smash through her body. The demon’s arm gets stuck in the gravel and as it pulls Marley takes this opportunity to go back to Mia, moving them further back away from it........“Oh fuck,” Mia said, as it let out a cry of distress.*

*“Find me a weapon!” Marley demanded as she slugged the demon across its bald elastic head, mouth still open like its ready to chomp on an arm.*

*Mia looked around wildly, she glanced at the car that was still going off as the creature barrelled blindly after Marley, it had knocked out one of the windows with its blow and through the passenger window she could see a baseball bat laying across the seats. She pushed aside the broken glass, reaching in to pull out the bat. “Marley!” she cried out, jogging over. She threw it to her friend who was still play keep-away with the beast.*

*Marley playfully swings the bat around in her hand, getting a hang of the feel of its weight and how much damage it could do.*

*She licks her lips at the demon, gesturing for it to come closer.*

*“I really wanna say batter up,” Marley comments. “But I’ll just settle for beating your demonic ass.”*

*She shuffles backwards as he prepares to swing, not moving forward until that arm comes down and bombarding the creature with blows to its skull - chest, anywhere she can reach.*

*It puts up its arms to block and as Marley pulls the baseball bat back and swings down again it teleports away before the blow can connect. She spins around anxiously, waiting for it to reappear. It spawns directly in front of her and clobbers her several times over the head, knocking her down. She covers her head with her arms, dropping the bat.*

* In "Party Crashers" (Ep 5) Mia and Piper approach Marley and Ira while they're dancing. Marley believed a rumor she heard about Mia and Matt. Mia approaches her and Ira while with Piper and becomes extremely offended and tells Marley she's gay and acting like a freak by being with Ira. *"“Mia!” Marley’s decently intoxicated at this point, but maintains control of her body and mind for the time being. “I was hoping I’d find you,” she says, despite how obvious it was she hadn’t been looking. “I’ve been hearing this crazy rumor about you.”*

*“What?” Mia said sharply. “What rumor?”*
    Ira wasn’t drunk, maybe a little tipsy. He knew telling Mia was a bad idea as soon as Marley said it, but he didn’t think he had the right to police what she said to her friend. He winced instead as he watched how quickly Mia had worked herself up. He had a feeling she knew exactly what Marley was talking about, and probably very much did not want to hear it.

    Marley grins, playfully and somewhat painfully poking Mia in the ribs. “Come on, you know. It’s kind of an odd coupling but hey, at least he’s a nice guy. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about Matt.”

    “Why would you think that!” Mia yelled. Piper was completely lost. “How could you ever think that about me? Don’t you know me at all?”

    Marley gaped, stunned at her best friend’s sudden temper. It wasn’t her fault that people were talking about her, and if she didn’t want them to she shouldn’t be hiding out in a men’s restroom with Matt Valentine. “Mia, what the hell?” She looks to Ira for evidence she isn’t insane.

    “I did hear about that,” Ira said. “But, uh, it isn’t true. I mean, Matt would have told me.”

    “And I am right now telling you that it’s not true,” Mia said. Her heart was racing, like she was being chased- which she wasn’t. “I don’t like boys. And you would know if I had! Why are you being like this?” she said to Marley. She didn’t give her the chance to answer, shaking her head. “Why am I even asking? I know exactly why you’re being like this.”

    Piper flickered between the three of them, thinking coming over here had been a pretty bad plan.

    “What?” Marley can’t totally decipher what Mia is getting at, and she’d much prefer it if she’d just spit it out instead of beating around the bush. “If you’ve got something to say, say it!” She snaps, moving closer to Mia’s face and challenging her to step up.

    She glared at Ira, making it clear he was, of course, at fault. Ira didn’t know exactly what he had done.

    “This just. It isn't you Marley. And I think you're going to regret it when you sober up, frankly it's embarrassing. I mean no one else is groping all over each other-.”

    “They were only dancing,” Piper said.

    “I thought you were on my side.”

    “Why are there sides?” Ira asked.

    “You and her don't make any sense. Not any. I'm sorry, but you're, you're different from her.”

    “How?” Ira asked. He knew they were different, but he wasn't a convict, he hadn't done anything wrong.

    “You should just makeout and get it out of your systems, maybe then you'll start acting normal again,” she said to Marley, stalking away from the others. She had hoped to embarrass them but Ira was more hurt than embarrassed.

* Mia and Marley make up at the end of the party once the house has been knocked down. *"Marley comes over tentatively, not sure exactly where Mia’s head is at right now. “So…” she starts, coming to stand next to her. “Party’s over. Any regrets?”*

 *“Just one,” Mia said. “No wait. Five,” she said, thinking it over. “It didn’t even start with the spell. I know I’ve been a complete bitch.”*

 *Marley’s lips twist. “Glad I didn’t have to say it,” she breathes out. “Hey, I’m sorry I kinda left you hanging during the party. I shouldn’t have done that. You know how it is though…”*

 *“Yeah,” Mia says flatly. “When a girl has a new boyfriend… There’s less room for her friends.”*

 *Marley winces at the notion that Ira could be her boyfriend. She sneaks a peek at him immersed in conversation with Matt. “I wouldn’t call him my boyfriend, Mi’s. We were only all over each other like that because of the spell. Why did you do it, anyway? I still don’t get it.”*

 *Mia bit her bottom lip, it was hard to explain how she was feeling to anyone, but especially Marley. “You remember the field trip,” Mia said.*

 *“Yeah,” Marley said. “It was only a few days ago.”*

 *“Okay, well,” Mia said, straightening her shoulders. “I got pretty down and the feeling just hasn’t gone away. One of the reasons is just all of this. I can’t imagine how overwhelming it is for you, and I want so badly to help, but I don’t know how. I just feel like I’m in the way, all the time.”*

 *“To be fair, Mia,” Marley sort of laughs. “You’re all in the way. But I don’t mind it! It’s really nice having the company. From what I can tell so far, this slayer stuff is lonely as shit. The last thing I want is to be alone. I like having you in my way.”*

 *Mia smiled. Maybe she shouldn’t have, considering the destruction she had caused, but she felt better anyway. She knew Marley and her could get past this, and that mattered more to her than pissing off Lois."*

* In "Bitterroot" (Ep 9) Mia and Marley go searching for Ira and find a cabin where they decide to wait out the rain. Inside there are lots of witch-y symbols and they find a straw man propped up in the attic, clearly part of a dark ritual. Later they find these symbols in the caves where the wendigos live, surrounding the hellmouth.

* In "*Uncanny Valley"*(Ep 10) Mia falls and breaks her leg, Marley takes care of her until they can get help.

```
Piper

```

Piper and Mia met in Science class, they were working on a project together. When Stella goes missing Piper calls Mia because she knows she knows Marley, who knows Lois, who Stella is with at the time.

* Mia attempts to get Piper and Stella to join yearbook in "*Genesis*" (Ep 11)
* During "*Party Crashers*" (Ep 5) Piper and her talk about what an unusual pairing Ira and Marley make. Piper is happy Ira is happy, however, while Mia is distraught.
* Piper guesses that Marley likes Mia based on how she acts, which Mia admits to her in "Party Crashers" (Ep 5). She's also aware that Mia doesn't like Ira due to jealousy.

```
Matt

```

* In "*Boy's Suck*" (Ep 2) Mia became worried about Marley when she stopped responding to text messages. She showed up at Matt's house to ask for his help. '*"“What are you doing here?”*

*“Worrying,” Mia filled him in. “I’ve come to share the worry. Can I come in?”'* Matt and Mia then team together to track Marley's iphone.

* During "*Presence of Mind*" (Ep 4) the two of them hid in the bathroom of the museum. When Mia first bumped into him she wondered if they were friends now. *"“Mia,” said the voice besides her, a male voice. “What are you doing in the men’s room?” She turned slowly, relieved to see it was Matt. Well, not that relieved but if she had been stupid enough to hide in a men’s bathroom she would have rather run into him than just about anyone else. She wondered if that made them friends."*
* In Ep 4 a classmate walks in on Matt and Mia hiding in the bathroom together. He spreads a rumor they were in there having sex.
* In "Party Crashers" Ep 5 Matt notices Mia is upset and comes to sit with her. She, talking mostly to herself, basically tells him that she's gay and into Marley, but "without telling him". *"He plops beside Mia on the stairs. “Hey buddy. You look a little down.”*

*“Yeah, not really feeling it. I should have known better than to go to one of Lois’ parties.”*

*“Aw, come on, it’s not really that bad.” He knocks his shoulder in to hers. “We’re a match made in heaven right now. A vampire and a watcher. Two peas in a pod.”*

*“Aren’t they like natural enemies?” Mia said. Across the room Marley and Ira were dancing. Still. They were both smiling like idiots too.*

*“Yeah, but we’re not.” He smiles, playing with the end of his tie. “Look at us, breaking supernatural stereotypes.” He follows her train of eyesight. “Yeah, they’re an interesting pair. I get why you might be a little jealous, I am too. Ira’s my best pal and I haven’t really talked to him in a few days.” He watches his friend accidentally spill some of his drink, a little bit drunk over there. He chuckles. “But circumstances are a-changing, friendships a-forming. Like me and you.” His flirtation is evident.*

*Mia was clueless, and a little confused. “You like Ira? I thought you were straight.”*

*“What?” Matt had been lost in his reverie, looking at his friend. He breaks away, brow furrowed at Mia. “Ira’s my best friend. No relation to my sexuality whatsoever, and yes, I do happen to be straight.”*

*“Oh,” Mia said, not really getting it. “Yeah, I thought that because you and Stella seem to get along a lot.”*

*“Also has no relation to my sexuality,” he scoffs with a grin. “There’s such a thing as just being friends with someone, you know.”*

*“Yes, but people get stuck in that,” Mia said frustrated. “You should just try and flirt with her.” She wished she could just do that. “Marley’s never even dated a girl.”*

*Still completely lost, Matt looks back at Marley and Ira, still mostly talking to herself. Usually she was so quiet about these kinds of things, but right now she was tipsy, and angry - so angry. “Why would Marley date a girl?” Matt asked, still confused.*

*“She should at least try it,” Mia said. “But it could ruin our friendship and I don’t want to risk that. I can’t imagine not having her in my life.”*

*Matt can’t believe his own ears. Mia was talking as if she had feelings for Marley. Was Mia gay? And the way she was talking about it… was he supposed to already know this?*

*“Oh…” he stammers, struggling to find the words that would make it normal. “Yeah. Right.”*

* Mia tells Matt she's into Marley and gay during "*Party Crashers*" (Ep 5)
* Matt and Mia talk again during Ep 5, she talks about how hard it is getting any time with Marley when she's always fighting evil or with boys. Matt sympathizes but thinks Marley should enjoy herself, telling Mia that slayers have expiration dates. Mia grows annoyed with him. *"“Hey,” Matt grumbles.*

 *“Hi,” Mia said. “I’m sorry I was weird before.” She tucked hair back from her face. “Tonight’s been lousy.”*

 *“Incredibly so,” he stares down at his limp hands. “I’m either going to leave soon, or get really really really drunk.” A moment later, he finally turns to look at her. “What’s going on with you?”*

 *“It’s about the weird,” Mia said. “It is the weird.” She shook her head. “It’s Marley,” Mia found herself, wondering again why she was talking about this. She couldn’t seem to keep her mouth shut tonight. “I just have really strong feelings for her.” She hoped Matt would understand, she wished anyone would.*

 *Having had time to let it sink in, Matt can now appreciate what it is she’s saying. “I’m sorry,” he says with a frown. “Did something happen with her tonight?”*

 *“She’s just with him,” Mia said. “You’d think demons would be enough for her, no, but she’s got to fit fighting evil into her already jam-packed schedule, right there next to boys.” She rolled her eyes. “The demons should just come to her, it’d be easier.”*

 *Matt narrow his eyes, disagreeing. “Not so sure that’d make things easier. Pretty sure if you ask her, she’d think they’re already damn hard.” He sighs, understanding Mia’s plight but even more so sympathizing with Marley’s unique situation. “Just… try to feel what Marley is experiencing. Her entire life has been uprooted. As far as she knows, she might be dead within the year. Slayers have expiration dates. That’s a hard truth to accept.”*

 *“She won’t die,” Mia snapped. “Why would you say that?"*

* Matt trusts Mia less after she cast the spell that destroyed Lois' house in Ep 5.

* Mia is in yearbook club with Emily, Matt's girlfriend, which is mentioned in "*Genesis*" (Ep 9). She knows that Emily told Matt he wasn't good enough for her when they dated, and when he mentions asking someone out during "*Party Crashers*" she can tell it's Emily.
* Stella finds Emily irritating and says to Mia that Emily is pretending to know Lawrence better than she does for attention. When Mia asks why she didn't like Matt, and that she thinks he's cool, Stella says Emily had problems with every little thing Matt did and he was never good enough.

```
Stella

```

* In "Presence of Mind" (Ep 4) Mia, Matt and Stella are hanging out when Stella begins to experience hallucinations. Mia thinks Stella's a little weird. *"Stella is about to tell her friend how ridiculous he is when the sound of barking fills her ears. She spins around to find the dog within the museum walls but sees nothing. She turns back to her joking friends, having missed some other humorous reference they were now cackling at.' **“Stella,” A disembodied woman whispers razors in to her ear. “Can you taste the blood Stella?” Panicked she looks toward her friends. They don’t seem to notice anything amiss, still engrossed in conversation. “They can taste it.” Matt and Mia’s mouths fill with blood, steadily dripping like flowing water from their lips. Still, they don’t notice, laughing and revealing red bloody teeth.***

*She takes a few cautious steps backwards and right as Matt and Mia are curiously looking up at her she takes off down the hall, crashing through glass revolving doors and to a different part of the museum.*

*“Is she okay?” Mia said stupidly, when it was very clear Stella was not okay. Maybe she’d gotten her period or something, the girl could be weird."*

* Together with Anita they helped perform a spell in "*Presence of Mind*" (Ep 4) to undo the curse that the dagger had set on all of them.

```
Lois [Mutual Hate]

```

* Mia and Lois have a mutual hatred for each other, off the bat they never clicked, then Mia's actions further damaged the relationship. Lois always felt Mia was Marley's stalker, and knows that she's in love with Marley.
* In "Boy's Suck" (Ep 2) Matt & Mia are the ones to hunt down Marley and Lois. They find her shortly after Beau bites her. Lois says, *“Oh god, I almost had sex with a vampire.”*

*“Didn’t you just meet him?” Mia said, scandalized.*

*“Yeah, so?” Lois rose her eyebrows. “What exactly is wrong with that?”*

*“Nothing, I-.”*

*“Yeah, you have a problem with me,” Lois said, shaking her head. “I know. Whatever.”*

* In "Party Crashers" (Ep 5) Lois tricks Stella, Matt and Mia into wearing costumes to her party. This leads to things getting heated between Lois and Mia. *“I can’t believe you guys took me seriously.”*

*Mia took in the state of the room. Controlled chaos. Not one single other person was wearing a costume. Her jaw dropped.*

*“I didn’t mean it,” Lois said. “I was just kidding.”*

*“No, you were just being a bitch,” Mia said, Stella’s eyes widening.*

* In "Presence of Mind" (Ep 4) Lois and Mia bicker when after the museum spell the group is talking and Lois makes a judgmental comment about emo kids. " *“I want to jump off balconies,” Lois said. “And in front of school buses, apparently. I guess I’m emo now.”*

*“That isn’t nice,” Mia said.*

*“What isn’t nice?” Lois asked.*

*“To say emo kids do that. Some of them are just expressing themselves.”*

*“What, girl?” Lois asked. “Are you kidding, right now?”"*

* In "Party Crashers" (Ep 5) Lois tricks Matt, Stella and Mia into thinking she is throwing a costume party. Mia reacts furiously and while at the party casts a spell in the hopes of feeling better. Instead she accidentally manipulates the free will of the people around her, telling Lois "Why can’t you just be nice” which the spell forces her to be. Later Lois ends up locked out on porch and Mia won’t let her in until they are interrupted by demon attack. Mia's statement that Marley was a demon magnet came true and led to Lois' house being destroyed, which Mia takes no responsibility for. She thinks of Lois as privelleged and throws out her toothbrush.

* During Ep 5 Lois gets locked out of her house, Mia will not let her inside until a demon shows up in the yard. ". *She banged on the door, unimpressed when Mia filled the frame, looking smug.*

 *“Well, hello Lois.”*

 *“Let me in,” Lois said.*

 *“Why would I do that?” Mia asked, folding her arms.*

 *“Uh, because it’s my house?” Lois asked. “And I will totally kick you out if you don’t.”*

 *“How exactly are you going to do that when you’re the one locked on the porch?” Mia waited for one of Lois’ flashy comebacks, but Lois only looked pissed instead. She didn’t seem to be enjoying her party, which pleased Mia every much. “You really need a taste of your own medicine, Lo.”*

 *“You don’t get to call me Lo.” Lois said, rattling the knob again. “And when I come in there, I’m going to kick your ass!”*

 *Mia didn’t believe her. Lois was obnoxious but she’d never once seen her actually fight someone.*

 *“You’re all talk,” she said, annoyed.*

 *“Open the door and find out!”*

 *“Lois!” Mia said, gasping suddenly. Confusion overtook Lois’ face. She opened her mouth to say something, instead hearing the loud sound of screaming, she turned to look at the driveway seeing a gaggle of girls racing for the front porch. She lifted her eyes to see what they were running from and froze."*

* Lois saves Mia from a demon in Ep 5 after it knocks her to the ground. She stabs it in the head with a fireplace poker. After the two of them attack a troll with light bulbs. *"In the dark Lois could just make out the creature, hunched over with glowing yellow eyes. All the way across the yard she could see the hunger in its eyes, it’s back legs shooting out as it ran forwards, loping towards the house like some other-wordly hyena.*

 *“Oh, shit,” Mia said, struggling to pull the door open by the knob.*

 *“The latch, Mia!” Lois yelled as the hysterical girls joined her on the porch. They were no match for the short legs of the creature which was almost at the stairs. Mia undid the latch just in time, jerking the door open. Lois and the girls on the porch spilled into the house, Lois falling on her stomach as they ran past her.*

 *“Move, Lois!” Mia said, grabbing her leg to throw it out of the way. She slammed the glass door shut as the creature came at it.*

 *“Shut the other one!” Lois said, pedaling back. Before Mia could the creature had taken several steps back, when it pounced forward again it went right through the glass which shattered, louder than the sound of the speakers still spilling music like there weren’t teenage kids screaming and running amok in the house.*

 *It landed on Mia, knocking the girl back to the floor with a heavy thud. Lois scrambled to her feet, looking around for help, but yeah, that wasn’t happening. Pria and Vick had a ridiculous fake fireplace, and for some reason had decided to buy a legitimate fireplace poker. Lois had made fun of them for it, but now she couldn’t have been more grateful for it, running over to the set and jerking out the sharp metal tool. She ran back to Mia, the creature opening its mouth wide- wider than it ever should have been able to, ready to encompass Mia’s whole head. Mia screamed, Lois smashing down the sharp end of the fireplace poker into the creature’s surprisingly hard skull. A high pitched and terrible sound emitted from its mouth, it lost its clutch on Mia who squirmed away, watching as the creature turned silent all at once and fell to its side, the head leaking blood and cerebral fluid. “Disgusting,” Mia said, but Lois was staring across the living room, her jaw half open. She could hear screaming in the kitchen, more glass falling, but they had a bigger problem. Like, a really really big problem."*

* Mia doesn't express very much remorse about Lois' house, though she does feel a little guilty. *"Mia very purposefully did not look at Lois’ house, which was half crumpled up, like some tremendous paper ball made of plaster and family heirlooms. Photo albums she thought, home videos. She got why Lois hated her, she’d just swallowed up half her life.*

 *But she hadn’t meant to. She was sorry. She didn’t know what else Lois wanted from her.*

 *Also, she’d left her jacket inside. There was no chance she was getting that back."*

* In "Bloodrites and Sacrifices" (Ep 6), after looking into the prophecy Marley sends Lois, Mia and Topher to scout the movie theatre. Mia says Lois is minimizing a massacre and faults Lois for not telling Topher what was going on before expecting him to jump into the middle of everything. Mia also states that Lois hooked up with vampires at an asylum, which Topher says he needs to hear more about.
* While possessed in "Rotten Eggs" (Ep 8) Mia knocks Lois out.
* During the camping trip (Ep 9 & 10) Mia and Lois get into several verbal altercations.

```
Anita

```

* Matt along with Mia find out Anita is Marley's watcher at the end of Ep 2, "*Boy's Suck*"
* Mia and Stella help Anita perform a spell to lift the curse on the dagger.
* Mia thinks Anita is oblivious and not a very good watcher, thinks they should have sent someone else, she tells Marley this in "*Bitterroot Valley*" (Ep 9)

```
Ira

```

* In "Party Crashers" (Ep 5) Mia is annoyed that Ira and Marley are becoming more than friends, and actually agrees with Lois when Lois calls him a loser. She sees them dancing and decides she doesn't like Ira.
* In "Party Crashers" (Ep 5) Mia and Piper approach Marley and Ira while they're dancing. Marley believed a rumor she heard about Mia and Matt. Mia approaches her and Ira while with Piper and becomes extremely offended and tells Marley she's gay and acting like a freak by being with Ira. *"“Mia!” Marley’s decently intoxicated at this point, but maintains control of her body and mind for the time being. “I was hoping I’d find you,” she says, despite how obvious it was she hadn’t been looking. “I’ve been hearing this crazy rumor about you.”*

*“What?” Mia said sharply. “What rumor?”*
    Ira wasn’t drunk, maybe a little tipsy. He knew telling Mia was a bad idea as soon as Marley said it, but he didn’t think he had the right to police what she said to her friend. He winced instead as he watched how quickly Mia had worked herself up. He had a feeling she knew exactly what Marley was talking about, and probably very much did not want to hear it.

    Marley grins, playfully and somewhat painfully poking Mia in the ribs. “Come on, you know. It’s kind of an odd coupling but hey, at least he’s a nice guy. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about Matt.”

    “Why would you think that!” Mia yelled. Piper was completely lost. “How could you ever think that about me? Don’t you know me at all?”

    Marley gaped, stunned at her best friend’s sudden temper. It wasn’t her fault that people were talking about her, and if she didn’t want them to she shouldn’t be hiding out in a men’s restroom with Matt Valentine. “Mia, what the hell?” She looks to Ira for evidence she isn’t insane.

    “I did hear about that,” Ira said. “But, uh, it isn’t true. I mean, Matt would have told me.”

    “And I am right now telling you that it’s not true,” Mia said. Her heart was racing, like she was being chased- which she wasn’t. “I don’t like boys. And you would know if I had! Why are you being like this?” she said to Marley. She didn’t give her the chance to answer, shaking her head. “Why am I even asking? I know exactly why you’re being like this.”

    Piper flickered between the three of them, thinking coming over here had been a pretty bad plan.

    “What?” Marley can’t totally decipher what Mia is getting at, and she’d much prefer it if she’d just spit it out instead of beating around the bush. “If you’ve got something to say, say it!” She snaps, moving closer to Mia’s face and challenging her to step up.

    She glared at Ira, making it clear he was, of course, at fault. Ira didn’t know exactly what he had done.

    “This just. It isn't you Marley. And I think you're going to regret it when you sober up, frankly it's embarrassing. I mean no one else is groping all over each other-.”

    “They were only dancing,” Piper said.

    “I thought you were on my side.”

    “Why are there sides?” Ira asked.

    “You and her don't make any sense. Not any. I'm sorry, but you're, you're different from her.”

    “How?” Ira asked. He knew they were different, but he wasn't a convict, he hadn't done anything wrong.

    “You should just makeout and get it out of your systems, maybe then you'll start acting normal again,” she said to Marley, stalking away from the others. She had hoped to embarrass them but Ira was more hurt than embarrassed.

* In "*Uncanny Valley"*(Ep 10) she and Marley find and rescue an injured Ira after he is attacked by a wolf. After being separated and reunited when their rescue arrives, Marley hugs Ira and leaves Mia leaning against a tree, which Mia is really hurt by.
* Mia dislikes Ira for his interest in Marley, but admits his personality makes that really difficult.

```
Topher

```

* Mia meets Topher after fighting with Lois at her house party in "Party Crashers" (Ep 5). *"“Now you gotta get a drink.”*

*Matt narrows his eyes for a long moment, trying to figure out if he’s supposed to know this person. He gestures lazily to him, turning to Stella. “Who?”*

* Topher overrsees Mia and Lois' conflict in "Party Crashers" (Ep 5) when she comes in to confront Lois for being a jerk and telling her to wear a costume. Topher says "*Topher briefly inspects the spot Mia was just standing in. “Your friend was mad at you. Maybe your prank wasn’t that funny.” He rolls his finger over the rolled blunt waiting on the table.*

 *“She’s just over sensitive,” Lois said."*

* Topher drives Lois & Mia to the movie theater when they are scouting for where the massacre might originitate in "Bloodrites and Sacrifices" (Ep 6)

```
Emily

```

* In "Genesis" Ep 11 Mia says that Emily seems manipulative after discussing the way she's pretending to be Lawrence's friend for attention. She doesn't get how she could be so mean to Matt.
