Mia is a hatchling who serves as one of the four main protagonists of Angry Birds Mystery Island. When she and three other characters are stranded on a mysterious island, she acts as the spearhead of their plan to escape. Due to her head-strong attitude, she usually takes the role of leader.
Appearance
Mia is a pink hatchling with light slate blue hair, dark purple eyes with sharp eyelashes, pink tail feathers, rosy cheeks, and yellow feet.
Personality
Brash and assertive, Mia often takes charge of the Egg-Splorers' daily activities, pushing them towards their goal.[6] With that said, her expectations for her team are often unrealistic, leading to friction between her and others in some cases.[3] Mia is also not afraid to let her opinions be known to others, being insensitive and mildly callous to her teammates at times. She is also very self-confident, and believes herself to be better at tasks than her friends.[4] Regardless, Mia does have a sensitive side. When she has disagreements with her friends, she makes an active effort to patch up their relationship afterwards. Mia is also prone to breaking into tears.[7]

Angry Birds Mystery Island
"Go For Launch!"
On the way to school, Mia meets up with Rosie and Buddy, and asks to swap homework answers with them. When the three take out their homework, the papers are picked up by the wind and fly into the junk yard. Buddy insists that they aren't allowed to enter, but Mia goes in anyway. The three chase down their homework, but see Hamylton with his foot caught in a bucket. Mia doesn't want to help him, but accompanies the other two regardless. Unfortunately, the four are situated on a catapult, which goes off, firing them into a purple cloud.
When Mia is woken up by Buddy, she barely avoids being crushed by a flying table. She reunites with the other two birds, but becomes enraged when she finds Hamylton, blaming him for them being sent to the mysterious island they find themselves on. She gathers the other two birds, and the three decide to build a catapult to escape. They manage to but one together, but it falls apart as soon as Mia touches it. Hamylton reappears, having collected some glowing seaweed for food. Mia takes the seaweed, and gets the idea to use it to bind the catapult together.
Mia finally accepts Hamylton, and invites him to help with the catapult. The group are soon able to craft a more functional catapult. While it doesn't launch correctly, the group still celebrate regardless, with Mia and Buddy finding a food supply in the form of cocoanuts. When they sit down by the beach later that night, with Mia comforting Buddy, saying they'll be home the next day. Rosie lets slip about an active volcano she saw before falling asleep, which, in tandem with the strange shrieking the group heard, freaks Mia and Buddy out. However, they're able to fall asleep regardless.
"Gim(Mia) Shelter"
When the group decide to build a shelter, Mia decides that she's the one who gets to come up with the design ideas, delegating the task of collecting materials and building to the other three. She's continually dismissive and dissatisfied with their progress, using nonsense words and insisting she's best for the decorating role due to watching a house flipping show. This leads to Rosie calling her out for giving them all of the actual work. Mia leaves, wondering why they think she has the "easy job".
A strange voice in the wind tells her that the others will come if she starts building, and she begins work on the shelter. Eventually, the other three kids reappear and begin helping, leading to the house being finished. Mia acknowledges the other three's usefulness, and they head inside their new house.
"The Egg-splorers"
After finding an Egg in a bush, the group decide to go into the jungle to search for its' family. Mia, afraid of the dark, begins growing anxious when it grows late. She eventually snaps when Buddy proves to be an incredibly incompetent guide, accidentally knocking Egg out of Rosie's backpack and onto a slope. The group go after it, nearly going over a waterfall before Buddy bails them out. When they attempt to set up camp for the night, Mia takes a liking to the group name "Egg-splorers". Ultimately, Egg begins rolling around, leading the group back to their shelter.
"The Worm Turns"
When the group take notice of the amount of waist they're producing with cocoanut shells, Mia finds out the shells can float. She gets the idea to build a raft from the shells for the group to escape the island on. The group are able to get the raft mostly finished before they're forced to set sail early by an attack from Wormzinger. Unfortunately, the raft's unfinished nature means that it has no sails, and it soon begins to sink. The Egg-splorers are unable to escape the island, but Buddy and Hamylton are able to subdue Wormzinger, allowing the group to return to their shelter.
"Phone-y Business"
Mia has a nightmare about a plane flying over the island, missing the group entirely. The dream gives Mia the idea to build an SOS message out of trash. While the group is looking for trash, Mia finds out that Buddy managed to find a phone, and has been looking at social media on it. Mia confiscates the phone, checking the contacts list. She finds that the phone has no saved contacts, and shoos Buddy away while she fiddles with it. She finds herself unable to resist social media, and passes the phone off to Rosie.
She and the other two birds soon find Hamylton entranced by the phone as well. The three decide to stop dawdling and send a message with the phone. Mia gets the idea to make a SquiwkSquawk as a message, but lose service. thanks to Hamylton launching the group out of a palm tree right before the phone dies, they manage to send the SquiwkSquawk, but are unable to see that it's reached everyone. The group decide they're better off without the phone and head home.
"Truffled Feathers"
When the group are setting up for a party, Mia puts herself in the role of head chef. When Hamylton proposes a truffle he found for the party, she dismisses him. The two eventually have a cooking competition after Hamylton damages her ego. Hamylton is able to pull ahead and win with his truffle, and Mia leaves dejected. She soon discovers from watching a group of Crabs that the truffles have addictive properties, steals half of a truffle from the Crabs, who give chase.
She meets back up with Hamylton, and finds that the other two birds have become addicted to truffles. She has Hamylton round up every truffle he can find while she leads the birds and Crabs around the island. He gets back to her right on time, and she has him lead the two hatchlings back to their shelter while she trades the Crabs all the truffles in exchange for beads. Back at the shelter, Mia reveals that all the truffles on the island are gone, snapping Rosie and Buddy out of their trance. With the matter of the truffles resolved, Mia is able to hold the party.
"On Island Time"
Annoyed by the group's lack of progress in getting home, Mia decides that they'll spend the next day working to get home, with no distractions. Mia soon finds herself in a time loop scenario, with all of her attempts to send requests for help in bottles being thwarted by natural occurrences. She eventually breaks down, prompting her friends, who are unaware of the time loop, to bring her to a flower field. This changes her outlook on the island, with her deciding to enjoy her time on it more. When she wakes up the next mourning, the time loop is broken.
"Chums in the Water"
When Rosie makes a friend of Finnie, a giant dolphin-like creature, Mia immediately suspects her of being malicious, thinking that she's trying to trick Rosie and the others before eating them. These worries vanish almost instantly when Rosie suggests using her to escape the island. This escape attempt goes sideways when the group is nearly drowned in a storm, but Mia assures Rosie that the attempt was as good as any, saying they'll make it off the island eventually.
Literature appearances
Angry Birds 15th Anniversary Comic
- Main article: Mia (Classic)
Mia's "Classic" appearance, from "The Strong and Silent Terence" (left), and her egg, from "Bad Egg" (right).
In the Angry Birds 15th Anniversary Comics, a Classic counterpart Mia is featured as a major character. While depicted as a tween in Mystery Island,[1] the comic series portrays Mia as an infant, with the first volume, Good Egg, Bad Egg, featuring her in her egg. A “B-plot chaos baby” per editor-in-chief Elsa James,[8] Mia is a serial troublemaker, often seen throughout the series getting into her own escapades and disobeying her caretakers, though she is also rather inquisitive and has an advanced memory for her age. When not up to her antics, she is most commonly found with Red, though she also attends a local nursery. She is the only Mystery Island character to appear, with James admitting the team behind 15th Anniversary Comic has no plans to add the remaining protagonists of the show.[9]
Relationships
Buddy
Out of all the Egg-Splorers, Mia probably gets along best with Buddy. His agreeable nature and follower attitude mesh well with Mia's more brazen leadership style.[3] Despite his listening skills, Mia does get annoyed with Buddy's incompetence from time to time,[5] but the two are still good friends regardless.
Rosie
While the two are good friends, Rosie is the most critical of Mia in most scenarios. In spite of Rosie's docile nature, she is not afraid to call Mia out when she feels that she is being unreasonable or unfair.[3] Mia trusts and respects Rosie, and is willing to listen to her, although it's often hard for Rosie to talk Mia down if she's dead-set on an idea.[7]
Hamylton
Initially, Mia despised Hamylton. He is not only a pig, but Mia personally blamed him for getting the group stranded on the island, as him getting his foot stuck in the trash got them sent to the island.[6] After Hamylton proves helpful, however, Mia overcomes her pig prejudice and welcomes him into the group. From then on, Mia and Hamylton appear to be good friends, with Mia treating him with the same respect as the two birds. Despite their current amicability, they still often disagree and argue over largely inconsequential matters.[4]
Egg
While not as close with Egg as Rosie, Mia still devotes some amount of attention to it. She talks to Egg about her escape plans, which is usually a one-sided conversation.[10]
Wormzinger
Mia has a rather low opinion of Wormzinger. When he initially attacks the group, Buddy notices a tire around his neck and wants to help him, with Mia being the only member of the group outright opposed to this plan.[11] After the group befriends Wormzinger, Mia still shows annoyance at the creature when he accidentally makes her messages in bottles sink into the sand.[7]
Crabs
After a mishap involving addictive chocolate truffles, Mia trades the truffles with the leader Crab for some beads.[4] In most other scenarios, Mia and her group seem to live in relative peace with the crab population; they coexist with little conflict and even help each other at certain points.[10]
Finnie
While Mia is initially skeptical of Finnie's true intentions, she eventually warms up to the young sea creature. After Rosie vouches for her, Mia trusts her entirely to get the group across the ocean and back to their home. While the attempt fails, Mia still seems amicable with Finnie afterwards.[10]
