Parvati Mia 5 Sikdar (born 23rd January 3977) is a model employed by the Digi Agostino Group whose particular look and social media popularity has seen her rise to frontline desirability within the organisation's marketing department.

History[edit | edit source]

Mia 5 is the fifth clone of Mia 1, a first generation immigrant to Sentinel C. Her parents were wealthy ISCO Protectorate citizens that left the Arcology in 3552 after the rise of the radical techo-socialist Blue Mars to government, leaving their old lives behind them and settling in Tranquilan space around 3568. Though they were unable to take most of their assets with them, the Sikdars nevertheless managed to nestle themselves in with the Sentinel C upper middle class and make a comfortable living through real estate and share trading, fully accustoming themselves to the idyllic Tranquilan elite lifestyle they'd heard so much about back on Earth.

In 3575 the Sikdars had their only child, Parvati Mia. While conceived naturally, in true upper class fashion, Mia's successive clones have been grown in incubation bulbs, and raised primarily in the company of private carers, with her parents' support largely being financial, and most conversation being instructive and formal in nature.

This detached, alienated childhood and the physical remnants of her past lives has tarnished the fifth Mia's conception of family life, and at age 22, after being scouted by Digi Agostino recruiters, she chose to cut herself off from family support and drop out of her Law degree to pursue a career in modelling.

While the announcement earned her a hostile and polarized reaction from her parents, who resorted to emotional bullying, leveling and even gaslighting to try and win her back, Mia's breakout success has seen a considerable cooling in interaction, with their relationship having since entered a bizarre state of artificial cordiality.

Personality[edit | edit source]

Mia has a kind heart and powerful capacity for empathy, and tries to be nice and friendly with those she interacts with, but is plagued by a fear of intimacy and struggles with her inability to connect with people. She consistently uses legal, low-grade stimulants and opioids, taken primarily through inhalation. She cannot let go of her past mistakes, is too organised, completing tasks way before they’re due so to avert anxiety, and is quickly annoyed whenever someone who agrees to do something for her doesn't do it exactly the way she specifies. She's incredibly precious about her personal space, subconsciously mapping her personal property to the point where she'll usually notice when something of hers has been used or even moved without her permission. When annoyed or angry, she is passive-aggressive. Socialisation drains her energy, and she'll often prefer a night alone then a night out with friends.

Mia is fairly cognisant about her emotional issues, however the demands of her working life and nature of her social circles weigh her down and inhibit the personal drive necessary to overcome them.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Mia's appearance changes constantly with her work. Having gone through countless visual transformations, Mia herself has little conception of what she'd actually wear if she had a choice.
