OVA
Description
Mia Taylor is a 14-year-old third-year student at Nijigasaki High School, having transferred from New York, USA after skipping multiple grades due to exceptional academic and musical abilities. Her relocation was initiated by her friend Lanzhu Zhong, who effectively dragged Mia to Japan against her initial preferences. Mia previously attended an American university before joining Nijigasaki. She belongs to the internationally renowned Taylor family of musicians, known for significant industry contributions. Despite familial expectations of a prestigious musical path, Mia favors a relaxed, homebody lifestyle and expresses particular fondness for hamburgers and baseball, consistently choosing comfort and simplicity over formality.
Fluent in both English and Japanese, Mia exhibits an outwardly straightforward, competitive, and confident personality—abruptly declaring "war" against the protagonist in songwriting. This confidence conceals deeper insecurities about her creative work; she privately questions why her songs feel inferior despite her technical prowess. This internal conflict leads her to seek advice from peers like Rina, who suggests connecting more closely with others to understand their perspectives. While gradually opening up through such interactions, Mia retains a slightly distant or rebellious demeanor.
Introduced in Chapter 19 of *Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars* as part of the Association group, Mia initially resisted school idol culture. She officially joined the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as its 11th idol and 12th member in Chapter 29 alongside Lanzhu. Her development includes learning collaboration within the club and embracing her dual role as songwriter and performer. She is a member of the subunit R3BIRTH, with a musical style reminiscent of 2000s English pop.
Physically, Mia has platinum silver hair in a boyish cut, grey eyes, and a slim figure. She wears a distinctive silver rectangular earring on her left ear. Her platinum silver image color extends to her penlight and signature aesthetics. She stands 156 cm tall (5'1"), with bust, waist, and hip measurements of 80 cm, 55 cm, and 80 cm respectively.
Additional details include her use of the Japanese pronoun "boku" for self-reference and her struggles with basic tasks like cooking or appliance operation due to a sheltered upbringing. She is the first main franchise character born outside Asia or Europe and was the youngest school idol as of 2021. Her older sister, Chloe Taylor, appears in the franchise's Final Chapter films.
