Mimi (Mira Miccio)

# Mimi

Mimi is a young researcher who has arrived on Kairos on false pretenses. Her real identity is Mira Miccio, a felon from the Unova region looking to escape the consequence of her and her mentor's actions. Holding onto her old dreams, she continues to pursue knowledge on Kairos -- particularly knowledge pertaining to ghost Pokémon, as her mentor wished her to.

## History

Before she became Mimi, Mira Miccio was a researcher working under a man named Professor Palm in the Unova region. Every hour of work was dedicated to the unique bond pokemon had with humans and the power produced from said bond - and ghost pokemon were the easiest to work with due to their history of hauntings and telepathic pranks. Mira gladly volunteered to be on the human side of these experiments to avoid bringing civilians onto the more dangerous tests. The secrecy of the lab raised eyebrows amongst fellow scientists, especially when Palm 'forgot' to respond to email inquiries. Mira didn't care as long as she could see her and her Mentor's dream come true.

Most experiments went well, until one day when they tried to achieve mega evolution on Palm's Gengar without any mega stones. Without the stones, the risk of Gengar getting out of control while in Mega form was high.

A fellow researcher barged into the lab at the worst time, distracting both the Gengar and Mira. The excess energy dissipated throughout the town and the lab, agitating all of the ghost Pokémon in the vicinity. Both the lab's and towns ghost types went berserk, attacking the city and causing enough damage to get every lab member a warrant for arrest. Due to the Mega link, Mira felt much of their distress, and was left with *something* which manifests in her Hex Maniac powers later.

Mira's mentor told her to run - and she did. A Porygon from the lab by her side and a makeshift disguise got her onto a ship to Kairos.

The path she was on before didn't end as planned, but can she really throw her dreams away? And it seems that the experiments did more than she was told, if becoming a Hex Maniac says anything...

She's still on the run, and an article was published after the rest of the lab was arrested:

>
>  *"After the destruction of major infrastructure in the Business District, residents are concerned that one of the culprits is still at large. Mira Miccio, pictured above, was one of the key players in the experiment that lead to the disaster. While no one died in said accident, many live in fear of a repeat offense. 'Palm let her go for a reason' says the researcher who intercepted the experiment. 'I'm sure she has something related to this dangerous plan'. The researcher, who claims he stopped the group before they made things worse, asks anyone who sees someone resembling Ms. Miccio to report her to law enforcement. 'I won't be content until she's behind bars'."*

## Appearance

Mimi would look relatively healthy if not for her dark circles under her eyes. She's taller than average, but her slouch tends to even things out. Oftentimes, her normally straight face will twist into a wicked smile - even if the reason for said smile is as benign as seeing a slice of cake. Almost always seen in a labcoat. Her glasses are fake - the lenses are just plain glass.

After admitting her crimes she drops her fake glasses and wears her old ribbon again, but it's not like her disguise was much good so she doesn't look much different.

## Personality

Mimi tries her best to be helpful to those around her, but her tendency to get caught up in her train of thought can get in the way of that. She often stops herself from raving about a subject that she realizes may be disturbing to others midway through. While her morals aren't exactly pure white, she treats her pokemon gently. They are great sources of knowledge, but she doesn't want them to come to harm.

This also applies to any human friends she makes along the way - she's wary that anyone she meets is onto her identity, but over time the feeling of comradery will set it. If anyone discovers her secret, however...

When she's Empress, she allows herself to be much more theatrical since ironically she can be more honest pretending to be someone else - though her joy at being Empress doesn't help her hide her identity.

Recently, after admitting her crimes to Team Umber, she is much more open about her past and will even - rather rashly- tell people she just met about them. Well, what can they do?

Thanks to this her sleep schedule has become much more consistent, losing some of her stress. Still, of course, a mad scientist in every sense.

## Ace Pokémon and Team

"Merry" - Porygon2! A hat wearing synthesizer hyper beam gun. Old reliable, in a way more reliable than Mimi herself.

"Momo" - Togetic! A little guy with a very lucky metronome - has gotten a reputation of being a 'god'. He just wants to make friends

Mareanie! - A mischevious one who sets up for the team. High defenses but hits like a pillow.

"Mince" - Honedge! Definitely won't be used like a sword later on. Very sharp, but is gentle whenever it is asked to open letters.

"Muse" - Vulpix! Stays calm in the face of danger. Refuses to evolve until it learns Flamethrower

"Mallow" - Minccino! Not much of a fighter, but is almost always seen tinkering in the lab

And many others who help out in the lab!

## Friends

Cares for all the members of Team Umber dearly - even those who she hasn't met yet due to being stuck in the basement for a month.

Her fellow Spooky Robber *fans* are also dear comrades! Them and their not criminal escapades...

Schala is a respected colleague, though she's unsure about the relationship between Togetic and Arceus...

In particular, she looks up to Tommy, and has adopted a similar fighting style to him.

Nathan is a true companion who she once called on the phone mid big-adventure. For some reason was a hallucination for awhile;;

She feels bad for Alastor losing money that he bet on her winning third place in the Junior Tournament, especially when she realized that he was joking when he said that he would reveal her secrets if she lost.

Pretty much everyone she's met has been considered at least a nice acquaintance, and she doesn't want to let them down!

## Foes

The Hoop Gang has caused too much trouble to be seen as a potential ally. It's one thing to almost destroy a city on accient, but on purpose? She was furious at the Spiritomb incident, knowing that the accidental pain Gengar felt was unbearable, and that Spiritomb may have suffered even more due to Hoop's machinations.

Anyone who would wish to see her behind bars. At first she was more ambivalent to being caught, but after making friends and becoming part of Team Umber, she doesn't want to lose what she has gained.
