Miime stands as an enduring presence throughout the Captain Harlock sagas, shaped by shifting origins across different timelines. In the 1978 series, she emerges from Jura’s ruins, her world annihilated by the invasive Mazon. Saved by Harlock, she dedicates herself to his cause aboard the Arcadia. The *Harlock Saga* OVA redefines her as a Nibelungen of Valhalla, sister to the antagonist Alberich, whom she abandons to oppose his destructive schemes. Her appearance blends ethereal and mutable traits: a slender frame, eyes without pupils, and pale skin sometimes lacking a visible mouth. Hair hues shift between blue and purple, while her wardrobe favors draped lavender fabrics that mirror her serene demeanor. A voice of quiet wisdom, Miime acts as the crew’s emotional anchor, tempering conflicts with empathy. Her bond with Harlock defies simple labels, forged in mutual understanding and shared solitude. Rituals like sharing drinks with Harlock and Dr. Zero underscore her unique biology—alcohol sustains her, yet overindulgence risks impairment. Telepathic and occasionally prescient, she wields concealed combat skills that surface when Harlock faces peril. Though without formal rank, she navigates roles as healer, strategist, and harpist whose melodies calm the crew’s frayed nerves. The 2013 CGI film simplifies her past: she is the last of her kind and architect of the Arcadia’s dark matter engine, irrevocably tied to both ship and captain. “No matter who is at the helm,” she declares, cementing loyalty that grants her exclusive insight into Harlock’s intentions. Central to her journey is the tension between desolation and purpose. As her species’ final remnant, she channels grief into steadfast service, balancing detachment with quiet camaraderie. Her presence stabilizes the Arcadia’s chaos, a testament to resilience amid cosmic upheaval.
