Background / History
Mia previously served in the Federation military’s 24th Legion under Legion Commander Artemis. During the disastrous Black Flame Star Defense Line battle, Artemis was killed and the 24th Legion was annihilated; only a small number of retreating survivors, including Umuto, remained. Artemis left her V-generation Mecha, Blood Red Angel, to Mia. The battle and other traumatic memories—including events in a laboratory—continue to affect her deeply. 433
By the time Su Ming enrolls at Imperial Court Academy, Mia is the instructor of Mecha Class 23. She makes an infamous first impression by arriving late, drunk, and dressed unprofessionally, initially showing little interest in conventional teaching. 100 101
Her attitude changes after reviewing Su Ming’s City Exam recording and identifying his exceptional perception and Mecha-combat talent. Calling him a “treasure,” she resolves to properly cultivate him and train the entire class for competition against the Inner Academy. 115
As the Federation’s situation worsens, Mia agrees to return to military service on the condition that Doctor Blacks apologize to her. She later reunites with Su Ming at the Abyss of Perdition headquarters as commander of the 27th Regiment of the Second Legion. 310 432
Appearance
Mia is described as beautiful. In her initial appearance as an academy instructor, her clothing is considered inappropriate and unprofessional for a teacher. 100
- Her eyes can turn red when she becomes enraged or enters an intense combat state. 114 276
- Her Colony Armor is covered in blood-red twisted patterns, has shoulder spikes, and emits a red halo. 259
- In battle, her presence and fighting style are repeatedly compared to a ferocious red beast. 435
Personality
Mia is blunt, irreverent, and highly unconventional. She dislikes formalities, mocks students who challenge her, and frequently ignores expected professional conduct. Her drinking, tardiness, and casual attitude often make her appear irresponsible at first. 101 112 308
Despite this, Mia is a demanding and capable teacher. She favors practical training, harsh physical conditioning, combat drills, and direct experience over lectures alone. She expects her students to understand the limits of both themselves and their enemies, and she personally develops training material for them. 116 118 124 311
She is fiercely protective of her students and troops. Mia argues over inadequate death benefits for fallen personnel, accepts a return to military service partly for her students’ future, and risks punishment to avenge the soldiers she lost. 310 433 434
Mia is also openly attracted to valuable resources and profit. She eagerly pursues energy crystals, expensive goods, and war spoils, though her greed often coexists with genuine compassion—such as when she helps Hailan and Catini recover their stolen property. 244 256 260 437
