Personality: Mia is a kind girl and quick to give encouragement when she feels others need it.  She is also very intelligent, thanks to all the private tutoring, but struggles with her history class no matter how much she seems to study. Mia is friendly and relatively well liked by most students, although some people think she spoiled. She has the tendency to be sarcastic on occasion, which can put some students off. Although her parents are very wealthy, Mia likes to dress in thrift store clothes, because she believes they have more personality.

History: Mia Fairbanks was born via planned cesarean section exactly two weeks before her due date, at the insistence of her mother Julia Fairbanks. Mrs. Fairbanks chose this course of action despite a plethora of doctors advising her otherwise, because it was almost summer, and she needed to get herself bikini ready again.  Mia’s father, famous neurosurgeon, screen writer, and philanthropist Travis Fairbanks, was so overjoyed that both mother and child made it through the operation unscathed that he bought the family a private island in the Caribbean to celebrate.

As she got older, young Mia was given only the absolute best. She had a closet full of Dolce and Gabbana, the best private tutors in the city, and her own personal chef at her beck and call. It was everything a little girl could hope for, but Mia found herself lonely most days. While her parents loved her very much, they were always very busy and didn’t have much time to spend with their daughter. Because of this, Mia formed a close bond with her chef, Mrs. Rodriguez, who gave her Spanish lessons in between meals. This sparked the youngest Fairbanks’ love of languages and was what made her decide she wanted to be a professional translator when she grew up.

When she turned twelve and had mastered her Spanish studies, Mia acquired a new tutor and began to learn Mandarin Chinese.  She studied hard during school and her afternoon lessons, but soon began to struggle in her history classes. Her parents worried that Mia had too much on her plate, so they fired her language tutor and made her focus on her school classes. This devastated their daughter, and she still has never been able to get her history scores higher than a B-. This is also around the time she began to rebel against the prim and proper look her parents had cultivated for her, and began to dye her hair bright colors and wear cheaper clothing.

Languages Know: Spanish and French. Holds a basic concept of Mandarin Chinese.
