Description
Miime stands as a prominent figure across various Captain Harlock narratives, her origins and portrayal shifting with each adaptation. She remains the last survivor of her species, though the specifics of her background differ. In the original series, her unnamed race hailed from the planet Jura near Antares, until the Mazon annihilated her world, leaving her alone. The Harlock Saga reimagines her as a Nibelungen from Valhalla and sister to Alberich, from whom she fled after witnessing his cruelty.
Her appearance varies, though she often possesses a willowy frame, long flowing hair, pupil-less eyes, and pale skin. Some versions omit a visible mouth, while the 2013 film depicts her with one and pointed, elf-like ears. Her hair shifts between blue, purple, or green, and she typically wears long, loose dresses in lavender or green.
Miime embodies a calm, wise, and deeply compassionate nature. She demonstrates fierce loyalty to Captain Harlock, having pledged her life to him after he rescued her—a devotion so absolute she would follow him into hell. She maintains stable bonds with the Arcadia’s crew and serves as an empathic counselor. Her species relies on alcohol as a dietary staple, making her a heavy drinker, though overindulgence can still intoxicate.
Her abilities include minor psychic powers like selective telepathy. Some iterations extend these to foresight or prophecy. She can endure long periods without sleep and subsists solely on alcohol. In the Harlock Saga, she gains control over time, while the 2013 film ties her to dark matter technology and the Arcadia, granting her near immortality as long as the ship functions under a captain.
Her history begins with rescue by Captain Harlock following her homeworld’s destruction. She joins the Arcadia’s crew, dedicating herself fully to Harlock. Across different stories, she aids him in conflicts against forces like the Mazon or the Noo. In the 2013 film, she supplies the Arcadia’s dark matter engine and is vital to its operation, seemingly consumed by the engines at one point only to return when the ship is recommissioned.
Her relationship with Harlock is uniquely profound, built on mutual respect and understanding without romance. Their bond is rooted in shared isolation, loneliness, and grief, often expressed through quiet drinking or conversation, with Miime acting as his confidante and advocate among the crew.
