mia was born and raised in asbury park. she knows every weird corner of the town like the back of her hand.
she has two older brothers. since she is the youngest, she grew up a tad spoiled.
her parents own fresh bites deli.
she works as a waitress there.
fun fact: she once served an empty plate to someone and said I hope you are hungry for nothing after watching too many nathan for you episodes and the only reason she wasn't fired bc her family owns the place.
she went to college for graphic design but dropped out after two years, she claims she is gonna go back but knowing her, probably not
she thrives on spontaneous plans — whether signing up for an open mic night or convincing her friends to go urban exploring in abandoned buildings.
very notorious for her ridiculous yet somehow practical life hacks (think: using shoelaces to fix a broken bag strap, using chopsticks to eat popcorn or duct-taping her shoes when they fall apart instead of buying new ones???????)
obsessed with personalizing everything around her. in fact, she once decorated her entire room with glow-in-the-dark stickers just for fun. i mean it was fun to her, but not to her mother.
she collects random things, especially kitschy objects like tiny troll dolls from the boardwalk.
let's talk about her stupid garden gnome collection. (the collection is actually at her family house because they were simply too precious to bring to meadowlark). all of them are named after famous musicians. some days she talks to them as if they were alive. hi, miss celine dion, i hope you are having a good day.
she has always dreamed of something bigger than her mundane life but is riddled with self-doubt.
that's the thing with mia. she starts something but never finishes it. like, she is captivated by the idea of backpacking through europe or wandering on the streets of tokyo, but never acts on it.
as much as she acts like she loves change, she secretly lacks the courage to leave her comfort zone.
recently she has been toying with the idea of performing stand-up or sketch comedy. but the fear of not succeeding and the pressure to be funny in a structured setting with an audience holds her back. she occasionally signs up for local open mic nights, using them as a testing ground for her material. (give me a plot where a character hackles mia on stage bc why NOTTTT)
more to come bc I am sick atm and my brain CAN NOT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSEEEEEEE
