Mimi (manga)

Mimi is a Owl Harpy who, like many other Liminals, was drawn into the world of Arbatel by the magic of the Grimoire and is currently a student and the president of the occult research club at the Grimoire High School. She makes their debut in Chapter 75.

Appearance
Mimi has the appearance of a young teenage girl, although as typical of harpies, she is probably older than her look suggest. She has a tousled hairstyle with the hear on the crown of her head being black and a less dark colour on the rest of her head. During her stay in the Grimoire, Mimi wears the usual school uniform, consisting of a seifuku with a plaid skirt.

As Owl Harpy, Mimi has wings instead of arms and sharp claws on her feet instead of toes. Features that set Mimi apart from standard harpies are their large, round eyes and their owl-like feathered ears.

Personality
Mimi seems to have a playful side, as she often teases Hakuto or deliberately asks her questions that the Raptor Harpy is embarrassed to answer. She also has a big fondness for spooky ghost stories, which can be seen in her enthusiastic telling of the "school's five mysteries".

However, as shown in Chapter 76, Mimi also has a slightly hypocritical side: she often makes fun of others who are afraid of ghosts, but she is not exactly fearless herself either. After being startled by Doppel at school at night, she went into hysterics and begged her assistant to stay with her for the rest of the night.

According to Mimi's description in Chapter 79, since her trauma in Chapter 76, she is now very afraid of the night and the dark. She is also now very afraif of mirrors due to Doppel's prank and now wants to make sure all other Owl Harpies learn how scary night, darkness and mirrors really are.

Physical traits

 * Owl Harpy Physiology:

Zoological Classification
Owl Harpies are an owl-like harpy subspecies closely related to the raptor subspecies. Due to being a nocturnal species, Owl Harpies have excellent night vision. They also become more active after sunset and seem to be much more intelligent than their airheaded cousins.

Trivia

 * She has the same name as another Liminal girl from the game Monster Musume Online.
