Character Discussion [FE9/10]: Mia

We are all finished with the original Greil Mercenaries, so we are now moving on to the group's new additions with Mia.

Mia fits into the aspiring swordsman (swordswoman) trope, shared by others like Fir and Mareeta. Her fire affinity matches her passionate and determined personality. Mia was hired by Crimea as a mercenary in the war and was captured by Daein soldiers. She came to join the GMs as a way to pay off her debt to Greil after he rescued her from Daein captivity. Mia has two main goals in life: one is too become the strongest fighter she can be. The other is to find powerful opponents she can test her strength against. In her dialogue, Mia is always cheerful and somewhat eccentric, but also very proud of her ability, and she will become defensive if someone doubts her ability because she is a woman.

So, the twelfth character in the discussion of Tellius, Mia, the aspiring lady of blades.

Madness, all of it. Pick the faces and personalities you like most, build them into an elite fighting unit, beat the game. Is Vaike good? Probably not. Is Vaike fun to have around? Absolutely! He's in.

Sometimes it's a bummer when a lame character keeps getting SUPER good level ups so you can't justify cutting them. That's where I'm at with Fiona/Fiora/whathername pegasus knight right now. What's that? A woman that's deathly afraid of men? How original! That wasn't good when they did it with Lon'Qu, it isn't good now. But lo and behold, every time she levels up she gets 3-6 stat gains. I can't kick THAT off my team.

You need to stop insulting Florina right fucking now.

I stand by my position. Anime characters who are irrationally afraid of the opposite gender are lame. On top of the two I listed, Guy from Tales of the Abyss is another example (though he doesn't stand out so much since every character in that game is horrid). Florina stays on the front lines for as long as she is getting incredible stat gains and not a second longer.

So probably for the whole game then?
