Horns of Villainy: Mia's mask-helmet is adorned with horns that begin at her forehead, though they're long enough to reach the back of her head, trailing down her neck and curving upward, resembling more of a jester's cap than traditional horns. It could be a subtle hint that she's fooling herself into thinking she can win Medea's love.

Ax-Crazy: Mia starts off as just an unethical, brutally pragmatic jerk who’s in it for the Tempio, but still psychologically stable. At first, it wasn’t even admiration—it was something darker. Less about wanting Medea and more about the need to own her, to break her. And the deeper Mia sank into that obsession, the more the woman she used to be faded away. The cool, collected strategist was gone, replaced by someone reckless, erratic, completely detached from reason. By the time their final fight rolls around, she’s not even Mia anymore—not really. She’s wild-eyed, feral, driven by nothing but the need to make Medea suffer. There’s no plan, no restraint, no higher goal. Just raw, violent obsession. And she doesn’t care how she gets what she wants—whether it’s through blood, through pain, through sheer force of will—so long as she can watch Medea squirm.

24-Hour Armor: Although she's shown as a typical Velarii in some scenes, she's primarily depicted wearing her exoskeleton and helmet. Her face is revealed only when her helmet is destroyed, which has happened on occassions, given her line of work.

• Somewhat justified with her 'Trapper' suit, as the suit is linked to her body.

Red Baron: The Tracker. Mia's not exactly thrilled about the nickname as she's more than just that in terms of the limit of her suit's abilities, but she's smart enough to roll with it for the sake of her reputation. Let's face it, there's no denying that "The Tracker" carries a far more badass and imposing aura than her actual given name "Mia."

Bond Villain Stupidity: In classic villain fashion, Mia finds herself with several openings to kill Medea and the entire V7D. Nevertheless, whether she gets caught up in monologues or her sadistic tendencies keep her from delivering the fatal blow, she inadvertently provides them with openings to escape or devise a counterattack. This is somewhat justified in the case of Medea, as Mia's motives toward her involve either "love me or endure a life of personal hell, with me as the designated torturer."

Smarter Than You Look: Don't let Mia's tired and unassuming appearance fool you when she's off-duty. Behind that facade lies a seasoned soldier, trainer, and mentor. Her expertise is no joke. She unknowingly becomes a catalyst for Medea's combat growth, honing her hand-to-hand combat skills through clever tactics and unconventional methods, all while she's actually fighting her.

Consummate Professional: Mia is portrayed as an absolute professional from start to finish in the story. She's not one to engage in banter and remains mostly eerily silent during her initial appearances, catching her enemies off guard and attempting to quickly tear them apart. Once she sets her sights on a target, there's no turning back. However, as the story unfolds, she starts to subvert this. We gradually delve into her personality, her past, and the hidden layers beneath her surface. As we start seeing things from her perspective, she transforms from a mere entity into a fully fleshed-out character, complete with her own complexities and depth... nah who am I kidding? She's just a selfish, petty bitch.

Demon Slaying: The Main Characters do a lot of this in general, but for Mia, it's both her profession and a tradition.

Feral Villain: Mia doesn’t start out like this, but her obsession with Medea slowly chips away at her sanity, turning her into a single-minded monster. All she wants is to break down every part of Medea’s mind and force her to reciprocate her "feelings." By the time of their final battle, Mia has completely unraveled, literally foaming at the mouth in her frenzy to destroy Medea’s sanity.

Affectionate Parody: Mia is an affectionate parody of the ''petty villain'' archetype, a tribute to villains like Black Manta, Joker, and Reverse Flash. She's decked out in the gear, fueled by ambition, radiates malevolence, and wields the arms, but she's presented not just as a plain villain, but as an unlikable, mean jerk who simply wants to make Medea's life a total nightmare just for having the audacity of not reciprocating her feelings.

Not Good with Rejection: Getting the cold shoulder from Medea after trying to be her girlfriend didn't sit right with Mia. Throughout the story, Mia dedicates the majority of her screen time to the development of cutting-edge technology as well as her own physical prowess. Mia brokers a deal with the devil, drawing Medea deeper into her sick game, where the lines between affection and torment blur until there’s no way out. She won’t just make Medea fall for her. She’ll break her, piece by piece, until love feels like a cage and escape seems impossible.

Know When To Fold 'Em: After trying (and failing miserably) to kill her obsession-love interest-prey a total of seven times, Mia had gotten her ass handed to her each and every time. The cherry on top? Nicoletta, in their final confrontation, had even managed to blast Mia’s once athletic leg off with a conqueror bullet, leaving her with a prosthetic. Mia seemingly started to come to her senses, maybe even reconsidering her relentless pursuit and deciding to back off for good.

Alas, Poor Villain: As the story goes on, Mia's character becomes more sympathetic, especially in terms of her motives. At first glance, she may seem like a ruthless warrior who enjoys hunting demons, but her later behavior suggests otherwise. When she appears before The Pontifex Maximvs' court, Mia's expressions are full of desperation and sadness, and her partner Camille Byron's comments confirm that she is a disgraced soldier akin to a Ronin who longs to return to her master's (the Church's) good graces. Her mission to retrieve Yuuki and kill Medea is not just about personal vendetta, but also an attempt to repay an impossible debt to her superior. Mia's excitement at the prospect of the Pontifex Maximvs arriving personally shows how much she values the chance to make amends and regain her honor.

• Subverted once it's revealed it was all just a front to get on Medea's good graces to have a chance to be her girlfriend, she dropped the charade once Nicoletta saw through it.

Evil Sounds Deep: The helmet in her tracking and combat gear makes her voice sound deeper and more intense, which actually helps her avoid raising suspicion about Mia Wilde and the Belfast Brawling Brute being one and the same. Even after everyone figures it out, she sticks with it. Guess she's a fan.

Ironic Name: The name Mia has its origins in the ancient Egyptian word "Mr," which translates to "beloved." The irony lies in the fact that Mia is smitten with an Egyptian woman, yet she's far from being beloved in return.

Abhorrent Admirer: Towards Medea, but it's not because Mia is unattractive (she definitely isn't); Medea is just put off by her obsession and fanatical beliefs. Whenever possible, Medea avoids or rebuffs her. The fact that Mia once made advances while drunk, and Medea is happily with Nicoletta, doesn't make things any better.

Sadist: Inflicting pain on Medea—both physically and psychologically—isn't just her favorite pastime; it’s her obsession. In her twisted, deranged version of "love," every act of torment is a display of affection.

Clothes Make the Superman: Mia may be just an ordinary human, but she proves that she is a walking armory by wearing a powered armor made of dragon scales. This cutting-edge armor proves totally necessary in battles against formidable foes, including vampires, du Cronos Dynasty dragons, and of course, Nicoletta's V7D.

• The suit provides significant protection, allowing Mia to withstand direct hits from superpowered beings, being basically as sturdy as Freki's skin.
• The suit is good at letting her survive underwater at depths she herself hasn't even measured yet, and even up in the atmosphere where the air gets too thin to breathe.
• It’s fully insulated, keeping her safe from the cold, pressure changes, and extreme heat.
• The thing is so tightly sealed that not even atoms could sneak their way in.
• The helmet, with its jester-like design and oversized eyes it’s equipped with infrared and scoped vision, giving her a serious tactical edge.
• The suit massively boosts her mobility, both on land and underwater, thanks to some kind of built-in propulsion tech.
• She can leap to incredible heights and move with ease in pretty much any environment.
• Her suit comes decked out with specially crafted long daggers that can even injure non-humans. These blades are sometimes hidden within compartments in her arms or back, ready to pop out when she needs them.
• The suit also features wrist-mounted grappling guns that fire specialized hooks capable of piercing armor and even nonhuman skin. These hooks can be electrified for added damage and are versatile enough for climbing or latching onto objects.
• The suit's gauntlets can discharge electricity, adding a shock element to Mia's attacks.
• Mia's armor's been upgraded to perform flawlessly underwater, while also reinforcing it to withstand the thin air and freezing temps of Earth's atmosphere. It’s a testament to her ability to adapt and thrive in any environment. 
• The suit also has jet boots that help her fly.
• Her suit also has the ability to integrate with and adapt other technologies—whether it’s a hand cannon, a blade, or even a jetpack. Mia acknowledges it's still in the works and requires refinement, which is why she doesn't use it as often.

Handicapped Badass: During the Siege arc, Mia is shown using a prosthetic leg from the knee down, courtesy of Nicoletta gunning her leg down with a bullet. Yeah, Mia had pushed Nicoletta's buttons one too many times with her failed assassination attempts and trying to date rape Medea.

Cute and Psycho: Mia's batshit-insane, but she can flash a smile and blush like an innocent girl or a loving mom, and don't forget, she's a priestess during the day. Medea's thrown off by it—she despises Mia's psycho side, but she's not exactly bothered with her cute/nice side, she only wishes it was genuine.

Arch-Enemy:  In the grand scheme of things, Mia is Medea's Captain Ahab, and she'll forever be her Moby Dick.

Comedic Sociopathy: While Mia is often depicted as a menacing supervillain, her efforts to torment Medea sometimes veer into such absurd pettiness that they become almost comical. Sabotaging the dinner party designed for Medea to meet her in-laws, damaging a movie theater's screen to sabotage the couple's movie night, and booking every single room at the hotel where Nico and Medea were planning to honeymoon are just some of the petty shit Mia has pulled on the couple.

Secret Keeper: Once the Pontifex Maximvs dropped the bombshell that she's actually a vampire and Miyuuki's own mother, things got real interesting for Mia. Her mission? Pack her bags and head straight to Italy to track down the whereabouts of the little draculina. But her boss made it crystal clear that this intel is strictly on a no need-to-know basis. And guess who ain't on the need-to-know list? You got it, The V7D.

Nun too Holy: Let's count the ways, shall we? Mia is a Velarii, essentially a woman of faith, indeed, but she's also a demon-slayer, a tracker, an oathbreaker, and is not trying to live a chaste lifestyle at all, being actively sexual with her fellow Velarii and partner Byron, while also being troubled by her attraction towards Medea. The kick is that she's a member of the Chies'a, both worshipping both Anthony (who is the god of madness and lies, promotes self-indulgence and encourages sexual freedom) and Laurel (who approves of demon slaying and violence as long as you're using it to protect yourself or somebody else).

Motive Decay: In the beginning, Mia might've had a genuinely sympathetic goal. But when it gets to Under Siege, she's become someone who just wants to keep inflicting pain on Medea over and over, ready to do whatever it takes to hurt and spite her forever. Byron even calls her out, stating that Medea is the only reason Mia's still around, and Mia doesn't even try to argue.

Hopeless Suitor: Try as she might, Medea absolutely refuses to be her partner. After Medea makes it clear they're not happening, she comes to terms with the fact that her feelings won't be returned and chooses to spend the rest of her days either tormenting Medea or accepting death if Medea decides to retaliate.

Undying Loyalty: Invoked. In the pact she struck with Anthony to secure a new suit of armor for her ongoing conflict with Medea, Mia also agreed to become Freki's primary enforcer. This commitment binds her soul to Freki, with her armor acting as a warning system by triggering headaches whenever he faces danger or imminent attack.

An Arm and a Leg: Courtsy of Nicoletta. She created a prosthetic from her battle armor that blends good enough with it when she puts it on, it even seems to include a small jetpack and blades below the foot.

Charles Atlas Superpower: Mia is a seasoned demon slayer Velarii who has dedicated years to honing her skills. Her dragon scale armour is a testament to her training, as it is as heavy as it looks, yet she moves and wields it with ease as if it were weightless paper.

Doesn't Like Guns: Initially, she wasn't keen on using guns or any kind of firearm when facing off against the V7D. She even steered clear of arrows or any other projectile, favoring hand-to-hand combat to take down both human and animal opponents. Her spiral into madness changed that, leading her to use them in the most brutal manner possible.

Malevolent Masked Woman: Her ''Tracker'' suit involves a horned expressive mask that enhace any type of nightmare face she doesn't want to make with her real face.

Unrequited Love Lasts Forever: Once she ''fell for'' Medea, it's like everyone else in the world was suddenly invisible. It's all about Medea for her. But it becomes a deconstruction of this trope, where it's more about obsession than love, going as far as ruining Medea's life until she reciprocates.

The Corrupter: Attemtping to assault Medea while she was drunk was enough for Nicoletta to be blinded by rage and try to kill her, though Mia managed to escape, one of the Conqueror Bullets did blow one of her legs away.

Expressive Mask: Her mask is able to emote when she is wearing it, not so much when she doesn't have it on.

Skewed Priorities: So, as mentioned earlier, she got shipped off to Italy to track down Miyuuki and haul her back to the Church pronto. However, upon meeting Medea and hearing her claim of being the Eye of Laurel, she becomes obsessed with her instead.

Walking Armory: In addition to her imposing armour, fashioned from the scales of a dragon, Mia remains ever-prepared for any situation, wielding a concealed blade nestled within her arm guard, an arsenal of lethal poisons, an aerial mode (a retractable jetpack) an aquatic mode, and a well-stocked medical kit, lest she ever finds herself in dire need of healing beyond the protection of her useful but not impenetrable armour.

Badass Normal: She is, at the core, a human woman with a very sturdy suit of armor.

• Enhanced Strength and Agility: While not superhuman, Mia’s put in a ton of training, and paired with the Tracker suit, it gives her top-tier human strength and agility. It makes her a serious threat in hand-to-hand combat.
• Advanced Technology: Mia’s got a high-tech suit that boosts her strength and gives her all kinds of crazy abilities. It’s got missiles, jet boots for flying, harpoons, retractable blades on her feet and wrists, and even lets her breathe underwater. It’s like there’s nothing this suit can’t handle—seriously, it even takes care of bathroom breaks, kinda like an astronaut’s suit. It’s almost ridiculous how much it can do.
• Medical Science: Mia knows her way around medical stuff well enough to perform an autopsy if she had to. She’s even managed to patch herself up in a pinch—like that time Medea sliced her leg, and Mia rigged up some makeshift setup to cauterize the wound on the spot.
• Hunting and Tracking: Mia used to be a top-tier big game hunter and tracker. These days, she’s left the sport-hunting life behind, but you’ll still catch her out hunting deer now and then. Her tracking skills? Still razor-sharp, like she never took a break from the game.

Villainous Underdog: Nicoletta's Whisper is considered the fastest gun in Europe and her Conqueror Bullets are enough to destroy her armor. Despite her lack of supernatural abilities, Mia still presents a formidable challenge as an opponent.

Troll: Mia has a habit of messing with the V7D purely for her own entertainment—pushing their buttons, testing their patience, and making things just a bit more unbearable than necessary. She enjoys unsettling them, often treating the tension like a game, and only drops the act when it’s time to actually get serious.

Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Mia's right eye is usually covered beneath her hair, presenting a striking contrast to Medea. While Mia's right eye is perfectly healthy, she chooses to keep it hidden behind her locks. On the other hand, Medea's left eye is blind, but she's just too used to it by now so she doesn't feel the need to hide it.

Womanchild: Looking beyond the façade of the soldier-priestess persona, Mia reveals herself to be almost like a deeply infatuated teenage girl. Her personality is marked by self-centeredness, a lack of foresight, and a fiery temper, and she is not hesitant to resort to manipulation or force to achieve her desires. Above all, she has constructed an intricate fantasy surrounding the life she envisions once her obsession, Medea, decides to be with her. In all fairness, many of my characters are manchildren to some extent. Even Medea.

Sore Loser: Related to the above, she’s a terrible sport whenever anyone—especially Nicoletta and Quincey—gains the upper hand in their fights. She throws tantrums, whining that they must have somehow cheated, and making a scene about it every time she’s losing.

Jekyll & Hyde: Mia is both a subversion and a faithful use of the Jekyll and Hyde trope. 

• It’s a subversion because the contrast between Mia and The Trapper isn’t due to a split personality or dissociative state. Mia doesn’t “transform” mentally when she puts on the suit, there’s no alternate persona suddenly taking control. Instead, she remains fully self-aware the entire time.

• However, it also plays the trope straight—particularly in how it mirrors the original version of Jekyll and Hyde from the novel. Much like Dr. Henry Jekyll, Mia is outwardly kind, respectable, and well-liked, especially given her role as a seemingly humble and caring priestess. But also like Jekyll, she uses her alter ego (in Mia’s case, the Trapper suit) as a mask that gives her the freedom to act without consequence.

• The suit doesn’t change her; it simply removes the need to hold back. When Mia becomes The Trapper, she drops her inhibitions and embraces her darker impulses—most of which revolve around harassing the V7D, stirring conflict, and doing everything in her power to sabotage Medea and Nicoletta’s relationship, often for no reason beyond obsession or spite. It’s not that The Trapper is someone else. It’s that Mia, deep down, enjoys being her.

Unreliable Narrator: According to Mia, the Tempio gave her the boot over a misunderstanding, and now she's on a mission to get accepted back in Ireland and make amends with the Church. She insists it's nothing personal with Yuuki or Medea, just her to-do list. Her actions, however, paint a different picture: She demonstrates unexpected pettiness in her methods, throws herself entirely into her offensives, and doesn't hold back on the cruelty during battles. And the fact that she's developed this romantic-possessive fixation on Medea? Yeah, that's not doing her statement any favors.

Villainous Virtues: Mia’s got enough self-awareness to realize that her obsession with Medea and Nicoletta took her to some seriously dark places. She knows that trying to kill everyone in Nicoletta's life out of sheer spite was extreme, but in her mind, it all could’ve been avoided if Medea had just agreed to be her girlfriend in the first place. So yeah, she’s not exactly taking full responsibility, and it’s not like she’s looking for a pat on the back either. When it comes down to it, Mia straight up tells Nicoletta to send her to Hell, fully aware that nothing she’s done could possibly earn her a peaceful afterlife.

Clingy MacGuffin: After the Trapper suit was damaged beyond repair, Mia constructed the Tracker suit with a far more extreme safeguard: She embedded its core deep within her spine, anchoring it in a place where no one could simply rip it free. From there, she extended the integration, weaving its systems directly into her nervous system and brain, ensuring that the suit and her body functioned as one inseparable unit. The idea was simple—having learned that the V7D won’t pull their punches if pushed to the brink, she designed it so the suit could only be removed if she were killed or died of natural causes. 

• What she didn’t account for was Nicoletta blowing her brains out with a conqueror bullet.

Yandere: Mia is totally infatuated with Medea, like big time. She's "in love" with her, but it becomes way too obsessive. And she'll go all out to get back at anyone who dares to insult Medea or her lover, Byron. Mia's also super jealous of any other women in Medea's life, even her teammates! She constantly tries to mess up their lives just because they have a thing for Medea. Oh, and don't even get me started on Nicoletta. She hates her just because she's the main obstacle. And, she threw a fucking missile at Medea and Nico while they were trying to have their first kiss!

• That being said, this seems to be only because she's not officially dating Medea. Like, with Byron, her girlfriend, things seem totally normal and cool. They're all lovey-dovey and seem to have a very active and healthy sex life... But even that starts to crack after a while. Byron eventually confronts her, revealing that Mia's obsession with Medea has caused her to completely neglect their relationship. At this point, it’s barely even a relationship anymore, with Mia so fixated on Medea that Byron’s left feeling like an afterthought, or worse, a pawn.

Moment Killer: Probably intentional. Just as Medea and Nicoletta are about to share their first kiss, surrounded by the beauty of Naples, Mia strikes. There's no warning—one second, they’re lost in the magic of the city, and the next, they’re dodging for their lives as a deadly projectile cuts through the air.

Break Them by Talking: Mia tries to get under Nicoletta's skin every now and then by throwing in some verbal jabs, but honestly, she's not exactly good at it. Her attempts to mess with Nicoletta's head are clumsy at best, with moral arguments that don’t really hold up. It doesn’t help that Nicoletta couldn't care less about what Mia has to say.

Never My Fault: Mia absolutely refuses to shoulder blame for anything. If something goes wrong, you can bet it wasn’t her doing—or at least that’s the story she’ll tell. From the very start, she’s irritated at the V7D for “getting in her way” during her mission to capture Miyuki… conveniently glossing over the fact that she opened hostilities by lobbing a missile at them in the first place.

Combat Pragmatist: So when she goes up against the V7D, she doesn’t just rely on brute strength. She’s got a trick hidden up her sleeve, one that’s as slick as it is ruthless. Right before things heat up, she discreetly doses the group with a powerful knockout drug. It’s not immediate though—she times it perfectly so that, right in the middle of the battle, it hits them hard. One by one, they start stumbling, disoriented and helpless, too out of it to back each other up. And as they fall like dominoes, Mia sets her sights on Quincey, ready for the one-on-one showdown.
