Description
Mia Grand is a dwarf and the owner of the Hostess of Fertility, a popular pub in the city of Orario. She is later revealed to be the former captain of the Freya Familia and a Level 6 adventurer, a rank that places her among the most powerful individuals in the city. Mia has brown eyes and long brown hair, and in her younger days she had a more typical dwarf-like stature and was considered cute and lovely, even worthy of being called a follower of a goddess of beauty.
Born in a poor mining town where hunger was a constant struggle, Mia opened a tavern there so that people could eat. One day while searching for ingredients, she stumbled upon the goddess Freya crying in a field of flowers. When Freya tried to charm her to forget the encounter, Mia punched her. This rough treatment fascinated Freya, who had never met someone immune to her allure. Freya saved Mia’s hometown from ruin, and Mia joined the Freya Familia to repay the debt. She eventually became the familia’s captain and was entrusted with the care of Ottar, the future captain, when he first joined. Mia served in that role until she partially left the familia about nine years before the main story, opening the Hostess of Fertility under the condition that Freya could work there in her secret identity as the waitress Syr Flova.
As the proprietress of her pub, Mia is strict with both employees and customers. She does not tolerate violence or slacking off and will punish anyone who breaks her rules, whether they are gods or adventurers. Her strong-willed, fearless, and straightforward nature means she treats everyone the same rough way and will punch anyone who provokes her ire. Despite this harsh exterior, she is deeply kind. Mia views her employees as her daughters and will do whatever it takes to protect them. She opened her tavern during the Dark Age of Orario to bring happiness to the people. Her passion for food stems from her impoverished upbringing; she believes good food is worth more than gods or jewels and becomes violent if anyone disrespects her cooking. She also loves alcohol and keeps a large private reserve, and she has a fondness for money, often telling Bell Cranel to spend generously at her establishment.
Mia’s relationship with Freya is unique. Unlike the rest of the Freya Familia, she never fell for or revered the goddess. She initially treated Freya as a comrade and later came to see her as a daughter, particularly under Freya’s Syr identity. Despite Freya’s manipulative actions during the Great Faction War, Mia was reluctant to fight her own familia because of her motherly love. She pledged to help the alliance only if Freya herself expressed a desire to be saved. When she heard Syr’s true feelings, she joined the battle against Ottar and later offered Freya a job at the pub after the goddess lost everything. Mia also has a long-standing antagonistic relationship with Gareth Landrock of the Loki Familia, with the two arguing constantly during her adventuring days.
In terms of abilities, Mia’s physical prowess as a Level 6 is exceptional. She completely restrained a high Level 4 Ryuu with one hand and knocked out Anya with a single blow. She is strong enough to injure Ottar barehanded and can nearly match him in raw strength, though she falls short against his full power. Her speed and reflexes allowed her to defeat two Level 5 Spirit Soldiers simultaneously. She survived a slash from Ottar that generated tremors for kilometers and endured an attack from a beastified Ottar, though she was badly injured. Mia is also a master cook who single-handedly prepared meals for the entire Freya Familia, a task that after her retirement required the combined efforts of multiple chefs. Her stealth is sufficient to hide her presence from Level 4 adventurers, and she can detect others with enhanced senses.
Mia’s role in the story is that of a supportive but formidable figure. She provides a safe haven for the main characters at the Hostess of Fertility and later becomes a key combatant in the conflict surrounding Freya’s obsession with Bell. Her development shows a transition from a retired adventurer focused on her business to a motherly protector who will fight for the people she loves. In season V of the anime, her past and her deep bond with Syr come to the forefront, culminating in her decision to stand against her former familia.
