Description
Mia Luna Tearmoon reigns as the sole princess of the Tearmoon Empire. Originally facing execution by guillotine at age twenty after a revolution fueled by economic collapse, famine, plague, and conflicts like the Lulu tribe massacre, her imprisonment began at seventeen in an underground dungeon. Sion Sol Sunkland and Tiona Rudolvon ordered her death, carried out by executioner Dion Alaia. This execution ignited continental turmoil: the assassinations of Rafina Orca Belluga and Abel Remno, revolution in Sunkland, and the Lin tribe's disappearance. Upon death, she awakened in her twelve-year-old body, possessing a bloodstained future diary that confirmed her memories and offered a guide to alter events.

Mia possesses argent hair and blue eyes, her hair maintained with horse shampoo for enhanced luster. Her skin appears tender and healthy from frequent bathing. Her attire typically features a dress with a split skirt of blue fabric and bows, a golden layer beneath, and a frilly gold-trimmed final layer. Turquoise sleeves with frills and blue bows, a blue-and-white corset, blue shoes, a white choker with a blue bow, and white gloves with small bows complete her look. A golden tiara with a turquoise gem adorns her head. Even in old age, she retains her hair's luster and beauty.

Driven by fear of the guillotine under a "Mia First" philosophy, Mia initially acts selfishly to ensure her safety. Her self-serving actions, however, frequently ripple into policies benefiting others, misinterpreted as wisdom and saintliness. She demonstrates appreciation for loyalty, valuing Anne's dedication during imprisonment, Ludwig's reform efforts, Wagul's gift of his mother's hairpin, and the Lulu tribe's hospitality. Unlike most nobles, she respects her maid Anne by using her name and recognizes the court chef's efforts after unjustly firing him in the past. She offers sincere apologies when her actions burden others, like overloading Anne with mushrooms.

Mia exhibits keen emotional intelligence, adeptly reading situations and people. This skill helps her navigate social complexities, recognize Ruby's feelings for Vanos, detect Chloe's distress, and fulfill promises, such as aiding Marco Forkroad's business due to their contract and her friendship with Chloe. She rejects lucrative deals to honor existing agreements, asserting money cannot resolve all issues. Her pragmatism includes stockpiling food during famines, establishing trade routes, founding schools like Saint-Mia Academy for diverse students, mediating political conflicts such as the Remno revolution, and brokering engagements like Esmeralda's with Echard.

Across multiple timelines, her choices reshape destinies:
- Guillotine timelines show incremental improvements, shifting from universal hatred to partial support. One variant sees allies like Abel, Anne, and Ludwig attempting rescues but perishing, while Tiona's grudge over the Lulu massacre ensures Mia's execution.
- In an escaped guillotine timeline, she resolves imperial crises but Abel dies in a foreign revolution.
- The empress timeline sees her marry Abel Remno despite noble opposition, bearing eight children. Sion becomes the Libra King instead of the Penal King, though historians debate her legacy.
- Alternate futures include assassination at thirteen by bandits, poisoning during the Holy Eve Festival, or death sparking civil war after refusing the throne.
- The current empress timeline involves thwarting assassinations, inheriting the throne, and neutralizing conspiracies by groups like the Chaos Serpents, who manipulate revolutions using figures like Sion as unwitting pawns.

Her development includes forming genuine bonds beyond self-interest. She reconciles with former enemies: apologizing to Tiona for past bullying, mending relations with Sion by addressing his unrequited feelings compassionately, and befriending Rafina through misinterpreted virtuous acts. She establishes loyalty networks, appointing Anne as her maid, Ludwig as financial advisor, Elise as court author, Dion as military supporter, and allies like Chloe, Abel, and the Lulu tribe. She aids Abel's growth from gambler to capable prince and prevents his suicidal confrontation with his sister.

Mia's strategies blend foreknowledge with adaptability. She avoids direct retaliation, fearing death might trigger time travel for others. Establishing Princess Town and the Mianet trade network stabilizes the empire, while her school cultivates innovators like the developer of cold-resistant wheat. Despite her saintly perception, private thoughts reveal lingering cowardice, gluttony, and vanity, though she increasingly acts on authentic care, protecting Anne from danger or expressing anger when allies are threatened.

Her legacy remains contested among historians. Some view her as a selfless sage; others suspect hidden agendas due to unexplained motivations. Future chronicles, like the "Biographical Account of the Empress," document her achievements but often overshadow her in favor of figures like Ludwig or Sion. Her great-granddaughter Miabel's timeline involves fixing poisoned futures by assuming the student council presidency, averting Rafina's descent into holy war.
