Miia the Lamia

As an exchange student from a species distinguished most by its seductiveness and high sex drive, Miia possesses a very lascivious personality. Initially, Miia is introduced as a cheerful yet ditsy girl whose transgressions of human norms (i.e: sneaking into Kimihito's bed and nearly strangling him in order to stay warm) seem attributable to mere naivete. However, as the manga series progresses, Miia increasingly reveals herself to be a calculating and possessive individual whose repeated transgressions against humanity's standards of behaviour are rooted in a single-minded obsession to make Kimihito hers at all costs.

Of all the girls at Kimihito's residence, Miia is by far the most domineering and hot-tempered. Whenever she feels that her claim on Kimihito is threatened, she is quick to lash out at the other girls and even if that's a blood relative of hers like her own mother. She'll also get upset if she suspects Kimihito is in a relationship with other ladies. Additionally, despite her flirtatious nature, she often becomes shy and embarrassed when Kimihito accidentally does something perverted towards her before (hypocritically) calling him a pervert or idiot and striking him with her tail.

Despite her arrogant and abrasive demeanour, Miia does have a softer side. She has proven that her romantic feelings towards Kimihito are sincere and not the mere product of self-centered lust. While often injuring Kimihito during the course of "hugging" him with her tail and fighting over him with the other girls, Miia is also very protective of him and regularly puts herself in harm's way when she fears his life is at risk. Additionally, despite viewing them as rivals for Kimihito‘s affections, it is revealed that she cares deeply for the other girls at Kimihito’s residence.

Miia seems to have apotemnophobia, a fear of amputations, as she gets terrified to the point of losing consciousness whenever she sees Lala's head and body separated.[5] In the anime, she becomes quite disturbed when Zombina sews her forearm back on in front of her.

As a result of her snake nature Miia loves eating eggs. Because of this, Kimihito used to make eggs for her every morning.[6]

In Chapter 77, Miia openly admits that she doesn't generally care about what kind of situation she is in or where she is, as long as she can spend time with Kimihito, what she considers as more important than anything else. This even includes a potentially dangerous situation, such as when the protagonists were trapped in the magical world of the Grimoire Arbatel and Miia somehow woke up from the brainwashing a while ago, but she continued to play the role of a schoolgirl to spend time with Kimihito. This again shows Miia's possessive side to Kimihito as well as her selfishness, as she didn't even think about helping the other brainwashed homestay girls, whereby Rachnera also commented how cunning Miia can be sometimes.

Skills and Traits

Personal Skills

Cooking: Miia is currently being taught to cook by Kimihito, she herself claiming that it would help her look better as a wife in his eyes. However, her cooking is, outside of boiled eggs, outright terrible and on at least two occasions has given people food poisoning. Suu, due to her unique biology, is the only person who can eat it without any ill effects.[7][8] Because of this, Kimihito has banned her from cooking until she reads a cookbook. One of the reason reason for her horrible food is that being a carnivore, she has 1/25 - 1/50 sense of taste sensitivity that humans have. Therefore even when she taste tests what she makes, she can't tell if it's bad or not. Another reason for Miia's terrible cooking is that she often uses different, but inappropriate ingredients than what the recipe calls for, for example, when she puts peanut butter into a miso soup because in her opinion, miso and peanut butter have "the same texture."[9]

As Monster Musume: Monster Girls on the Job! revealed, Miia's cooking had improved with her training, with the result that her meals were mostly edible, but she still hadn't shed her tendency to over-season everything.[10] Regardless of the fact that the dishes prepared by Miia is now mostly safely edible, as seen in later chapters of the manga series, the taste hasn't really improved, since Miia's prepared bento in Chapter 74 looked awful and Mero described Miia's prepared food in Chapter 91 as horrible.

Martial Arts Training: When Miia expects to go into a fight, she takes on martial arts stance, suggesting she may have some self defense training.[11][12]

Possessions

Hair-Clips: Miia owns a pair of hair-clips in the shape of a capital D which she wears in a similar fashion to other standard lamias along with those from the Echidna, Medusae and Melusine subspecies. The hair-clips resemble the eyes of a pit viper.

Cold Spray: Miia uses it like a pepper spray against her mother. In the official translation, it is stated that it was only a normal Spray bottle filled with cold water and not a spray specially developed to ward off Lamias.

Computer and internet: Miia uses it to buy her clothes from "mamazon"(amazon).

Independent Activity Pass: Allows Miia to roam around in public without supervision from Kimihito.
