**Mama Mia Capapasosa Redford**, née **Sockscalp**, formerly **von Kingsbury**, (July 12, 1242 — April 9, 1337) was a female monkey and celebrity television judge, owning JMN Studios and starring on its flagship program, *Judge Mia*, a reality courtroom drama series. Widely known to the public as **Judge Mia**, she was usually viewed as harsh, selfish, and inconsiderate, frequently undermining others in favor of her own needs or pleasure. In the later years of her life, Redford's demeanor lightened significantly, and she became known as somewhat of an annoying, jovial trickster.

Redford had few, if any, legitimate friendships. Instead, she had associates and acquaintances who served as co-stars on her reality TV series, hovering around her courthouse during filming. Redford also harbored an extremely strained relationship with her only child, Matilda; The two repeatedly clashed over small disagreements, with the most prominent argument being Redford's constant conflict between family and her career.

Redford's first husband, Reynolds Redford, is debatably the only person whom Mia fully opened up to and loved. Following Reynolds' death in 1299, Mia had a flawed and tumultuous marriage with Fransisco del Gumbo in the early 1310s, which ended in divorce. Redford retired from her television series and judicial career in 1311. On April 9, 1337, she died in a automobile accident in Yonkers, Furria.

## Biography

### Early life and childhood

Mama Mia Capapasosa Sockscalp was born to Maurice and Mabel Sockscalp on July 12, 1242 in Furrington, Furria. Her mother was a member of the wealthy Tiffany family, members of elite Furrington society. Her father's family were prominent adivsers to the King of Furria. The combination of these two honorable families let Mia grow up in an extremely privileged home. Mia did not have a close relationship with her parents, as they are often absent due to their important societal roles.

In 1262, Mia attended Walter Tiffany Charter School, a private academy named after Mia's great-grandfather. There Mia met Reynolds Redford, a young monkey who had recently moved to Furrington from Sarsaparilla, Furria. Impoverished, Reynolds had been allowed into the school by a full-ride scholarship. Later in the year, the couple began dating.

### First marriage, move to Yonkers, and family

Reynolds and Mia were engaged in April 1263, and they quickly married in order for Reynolds to avoid being drafted into the Furrian War (married men could not be conscripted). Mia's mother, Mabel, was supportive of the couple, but her father, Maurice, disapproved of Reynolds' low financial status. While married, Mia lived with her husband, her mother-in-law (Leah Redford), and her sister-in-law (Ruth Redford).

The war ended in 1268, with Furria annexing Samua. Mia and Reynolds relocated to a farm in Yonkers, a city in the new formerly-Samuan territory. Mia hated living on a farm, and did not participate in any of the daily chores.

In 1274, Mia's mother was killed in a mass shooting at a charity auction. This tragedy led Maurice to eventually give his blessing to Mia and Reynolds' marriage, paying respects to his late wife. On August 6, 1284, Mia and Reynolds had a daughter: Matilda Grade Redford.

### Judicial career and husband's death

Mia's father died in 1285 from cancer, allowing Mia to inherit her parents' massive wealth. Now rich, Mia and her family moved off the farm and into the suburbs of Yonkers in 1286. During this time, Mia was a stay-at-home mom with her daughter, Matilda. However, Mia went to law school sometime in the 1290s and became a judge.

Mia's husband, Reynolds, suddenly went missing in 1299. After a failed search party, Reynolds was considered dead. His mother, Leah, and last surviving sibling, Ruth, attended his funeral in that year.

Mia's daughter, Matilda, married Murphy Bananomanoman in 1304. In 1305, Matilda had twins, Marley and Maggie. Sometime before November 1309, Mia ended up living in her daughter's house along with her son-in-law and grandchildren.

In 1306, Mia got her first job as a judge, but it wasn't until 1309 that she used her inheritance from her parents to found JMN Studios, a small-claims court business and TV production studio. The first season of her reality TV series, *Judge Mia*, aired that year. Also around this time Mia became a member of Yonkers County Judiciary, a legislative political body that had legal jurisdication over the Yonkers Country of Furria and also gave Mia the ability to give official sentences and verdicts.

Sometime before going to law school, Mia pursued a career in writing, publishing the "famous" *Enchanted Clubhouse* series. Her career as a writer ended when she decided that it was "stupid."

### Television series and second marriage

*See also: Mia-Fransisco relationship*
    Redford was first seen with her boyfriend, Monkey Joe von Kingsbury during the Christmas season of 1309. Monkey Joe appeared on the second season of *Judge Mia*, on which he was known as Fransisco del Gumbo. Monkey Joe later legally changed his named to Fransisco del Gumbo.

Mia's reality series continued into 1310, and became one of the most iconic symbols of Furrian culture due to its immense popularity. On February 14, 1310, Mia's boyfriend Fransisco proposed to her at the Stuff-a-thon. Mia immediately accepted, but was later harassed by her daughter, Matilda. Matilda greatly disapproved of her mother's relationship with Fransisco due to the fact that he was ten years her junior. After getting engaged, Mia and Fransisco agreed to embark on a couples' trip, with they prematurely called a "honeymoon."

While en route to the Bearibbean, the plane violently crashed somewhere in Fragile Forest National Park. Mia and Fransisco survived, relatively unharmed. While lost in the forest, the couple stumbled across the corpse of Reynolds Redford, Mia's first husband, in an abandoned camping site. Mia and Fransisco were eventually rescued, and Reynolds' body was lost in a flash food. Despite this, an autopsy was somehow performed by a team of doctors soon after. Ruth Redford, Reynolds' sister, was on this team of doctors, and she came to the conclusion that Reynolds died from starvation.

## Behind the scenes

* Like all Miaverse characters, Mia's voice is performed by Samuel Anderson.
* Mia's character is a loosely based on Judith Sheindlin, the star of *Judge Judy*.
* Mia is a stuffed sock monkey, and was crafted by Samuel Anderson from a pair of cream-and-maroon colored wool socks sometime in 2012.[*citation needed*] Despite being considered a normal, biological monkey within the fictional universe, Mia is actually described as a "sockmonkey" on her official website.
* Mia's full first name, "Mama Mia," is possibly a reference to the film and play *Mamma Mia!*, despite a slightly different spelling.

Notes
1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Throughout the run of *Judge Mia*, Mia's age was kept ambiguous, fluctuating between middle-age and extremely elderly for a comedic effect. It wasn't until the 2015 Miaverse timeline retcon that Mia had an official birthday and age. In "The Justice Bride," which takes place around November 1310, Mia is referred to as "90 years old," which would place her birth in 1219/1220. In an unreleased fictional biography of Mia written by Samuel Anderson, Mia says that she is in her 50s. The book takes place around the end of *Judge Mia*, which (before the 2015 retcon) was the year 1325, putting Mia's birth in the 1260s or 1270s. The book has since been lost.[*citation needed*]
2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 In the Mia Plus article *Reynolds and Mia: Love Story for the Ages*, it mentions that Reynolds and Mia moved to "the booming suburbs of Yonkers" in 1268. In *Judge Mia*, Mia is seen living in a suburban home with her daughter and her family. It is unclear whether the house shown in *Judge Mia* is the same house that Mia and Reynolds owned in 1268, or if the house from *Judge Mia* was bought by Matilda.
3. ↑ Only during her marriage to Monkey Joe von Kingsbury, from 1310 to 1311. Mia is first credited as **Mama Mia von Kingsbury** in JM0607 "The Justice Bride." She and Fransisco divorce in JM1104 "Crappy Anniversary," yet she is still credited as Mama Mia von Kingsbury in JM1105 "Buck vs. Hipper." In the series finale, Mia's name is reverted to Mama Mia Redford.
