Mia was born as the only child to French immigrants who moved to America during her early childhood. Her father, whom she affectionately called “Papa,” was a hardworking man, often balancing the line between business and family, ensuring his wife and daughter never went without. Mia’s mother, an artistic and free-spirited woman, encouraged Mia to observe and imagine stories about the world around her, a habit that would later become a central part of Mia’s life.

During her father’s business trips to France, Mia and her mother would explore the country. Her mother, a photography enthusiast, would capture scenes of bustling markets, quiet cafes, and quaint alleyways, while Mia, inspired by these visuals, spun fictional stories about the people they saw. Her mother encouraged this creativity, emphasizing the importance of seeing “underneath the underneath”—a philosophy that Mia adopted as her own and would later use in her everyday life.

With a childhood that was quiet yet rich in imagination, Mia became adept at sharing details without revealing too much, a skill her mother called “non-disclosure chatter.” This made her appear friendly and approachable while keeping her own intentions subtly hidden. As she got older, Mia’s storytelling became a blend of charm and observation, allowing her to connect with people easily, disarming them with her anecdotes while silently gathering the information she needed.

Growing up with both French and American influences has given Mia a multifaceted view of the world. She identifies closely with both, using her French heritage as a charm in social circles, while embracing the ambition and drive common in American culture. She often channels her “French flair” to keep people intrigued of her, switching seamlessly between her American and French sides depending on the company she’s with. Journalism became the foundation on which Mia survived. She ended up meeting her now ex fiance Hunter while on the job. Hunter’s family was cartel and Hunter wanting out of the dangerous cartel life to better himself, asked Mia for help to weave a story so that he could escape. Eventually, after jumping from city to city, they finally ended up in Polar.

1. Burger Shot shooting: During Mia’s first week at Burger Shot there was a drive by shooting. Mia was in the parking lot when shots were fired. A part of her believes it was Skrt that did the shooting and that it was her fault for slightly antagonizing him on Birdy, and putting her friends at risk. She holds the guilt as her good friend Danno was next to her

2. Moltov Cocktail Incident: Mia was roommates with Troy when Troy went and insulted the Gambino Brothers Mother calling her a bitch. Later that night the house was set on fire from a moltov cocktail thrown at the roof. The incident caused an almost irrepairable rift in Mia’s friendship with Troy and she moved out and back into her car for the time being for her own safety.

3. Developing Relationship with Mike Dudley: After a lot of flirting, Mia entered into a relationship with Mike. She is optimist about the development, but is aware of the fragility of trust and how guarded Mike is about letting her close to him. Mia genuinely cares for Mike. She feels that progressing her relationship and feelings with Mike is worth honoring his needs to take it slow, to build trust and focusing on the present so their connection can grow naturally.
