Sima Miliani

Sima Amara Miliani (born Sima Amara Ikaia) is from Paniola Town on Akala Island in the Alola region. She's the mother of Kiawe Miliani and Mimo Miliani, and also the wife of Rango Miliani.

Background
Sima and the rest of the family was poor during Kiawe's youth. Sima didn't have a job, since jobs are hard to come by in Paniola Town. Only her husband, Rango, did, but it wasn't a well-paying job. When Mimo was born and Kiawe was 9, Sima and Rango didn't think they'd be able to support both of them financially. The two started a farm in their yard. The farm turned out to be successful and generated much more income for the family.

However, there were those who robbed the family's farm from time to time, since they wanted what the family had. It was mainly Team Skull that did this, back when they were still operational. Sima tried her best to comfort during this, since she was afraid of them. They ultimately still did well financially, but the crimes brought about fear in the family. Sima even cried with Mimo at times. Kiawe would see them crying from time to time, which angered him greatly.

Sima was there when Kiawe's childhood friend, Harry, was murdered by Team Skull. She understands Kiawe's pain and anger at this.

Present
Sima was first mentioned by Kiawe in Episode 31 when he told the Mokusetsu more about him. He mostly mentioned the things in the Background section, emphasizing that seeing Sima and Mimo cry is part of what angered him and drove him to seek justice for the weak and innocent who are tortured by others.

Sima made her debut in Episode 33. She was there in Paniola Town with Rango as they greeted their son, Kiawe, who arrived at the house with his usual Alolan friends, Mallow, Lana, and Lillie, along with his three new friends of the Mokusetsu, Ash, Alain, and Dawn. Sima had heard of Kiawe's 3 new friends and was happy to meet them. As her daughter, Mimo, came out as well, Sima was informed that they were here to get Hi no Tama, which was hidden in this city, but not in the area of the house. She wished them good luck as everyone left the area to search for the Plate.

Sima appeared again in Episode 35. The Mokusetsu returned to her house as they explained what happened to her and Rango. Mimo joined them shortly after. Sima knew that Kiawe would be short-tempered, since that's his personality. She expressed gratitude for the rain, saying this would help the farm to prosper this Autumn. She then started to say, "Citizens never knew that so many people would step up to fight the Tekiyoku. Especially that oth--" but Kiawe stopped her from finishing that sentence. Instead, she asked if the Alolan people would go back to Kukui's academy. Kiawe informed her and Rango that they would travel with the Mokusetsu for one more Plate in Alola. Sima was okay with the news, even saying she figured they'd do that anyway.
