Mimo Miliani

Hoshi Mimo Miliani is from Paniola Town on Akala Island in the Alola region. She's the litle sister of Kiawe Miliani and the daughter of Sima Miliani and Rango Miliani.

Background
When Mimo was born, Kiawe was 9. The family was already poor, with jobs not being very prosperous in Paniola Town, and not being able to afford to move to a better city. Her mother and father didn't think they could support Mimo and Kiawe with their current income. They ended up starting a farm in their rural yard. This farm became successful and generated much of their finances from that point on.

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. Mimo was afraid of them. She saw Kiawe struggle with being too weak to do anything. She even cried. Kiawe would see her crying from time to time, which angered him greatly.

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

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

Mimo made her debut in Episode 33. Kiawe and his usual Alolan friends, Mallow, Lana, and Lillie, arrived at his house in Paniola Town. Mimo bursted out suddenly and loudly demanded Kiawe to give her a dollar and a quarter so that she could get some ice cream. He said no, which angered her. She then noticed that Kiawe had three new friends with him and was introduced to Ash, Alain, and Dawn, members of the Mokusetsu. Mimo was surprised that Ash was from Kanto, a region she always wanted to see. Ash said they could take her there when she's older. She then asked him for a dollar and a quarter, which he gave her. Before the Mokusetsu left to search for Hi no Tama, Mimo demanded Kiawe to walk her to the ice cream place that's 4 blocks away, but he said no.

Mimo returned in Episode 35. She came outside during the talk the Mokusetsu was having with her parents, since they had returned to tell them what happened in the fight for Hi no Tama. Mimo once again asked Kiawe for a dollar and a quarter, presumably for ice cream again, but Kiawe said no, since the rain was making it too cold for ice cream. Ash then said he'd buy Mimo ice cream whenever she comes to Kanto. Mimo expressed happiness at this, calling Ash the best. She learned that her older brother and the other Alolan people would keep traveling with the Mokusetsu for the last Plate in Alola.
