Miwo comes off more as a miniature adult than she does a child β or alternatively, a child trying to take on the responsibilities of an adult. This sense of responsibility extends further than just on the battlefield, however, as she'll often try to solve other people's problems for them, with mixed results. Failure upsets her deeply. She refuses to show emotion under duress, instead preferring to take action and push everything else aside for later as a coping mechanism.
She has trouble dealing with negative emotions in a healthy manner, which in combination with her Zeltron traits, tends to be a problem. This sometimes presents itself as aggressive behaviour. When it comes to interacting with other people in casual situations, Miwo is somewhat awkward and stiff. She treats acquaintances formally, more as coworkers than anything else.
β Miwo was born and raised on Zeltros for the first few years of her life, as the only child of the family. Her parents were cargo haulers / smugglers who'd worked with the Rebellion during the civil war, and were deeply interested in the political ongoings in the galaxy. They later dabbled in humanitarian work, especially on the Outer Rim, which they frequented on their trips. When she was around 4 years old, they moved out of the family home and began to travel around with Miwo in tow. They taught her how to survive in the inhospitable conditions they often encountered on remote planets; they lived on Anobis at one point, something which she remembers clearly. Although she didn't participate in any of the fighting herself, that was where Miwo had her first taste of conflict.
β When the Resistance mobilized against the First Order, her parents are ready to fight again. Not having anywhere else for her to stay, they brought her along with them to help. She ran errands around bases, for the most part, as her parents forbid her from participating in combat. The family was separated when the base they were staying in was destroyed by First Order forces, and Miwo was pulled along with the surviving members as they fled to neighbouring systems. She never got the chance to go look for her missing parents; the Resistance presumed they were dead, as there was no sign of them and the base had practically been razed to the ground.
β For months, she drifted from base to base, Resistance cell to Resistance cell. As the war became more desperate, Miwo found herself becoming involved in combat due to her familiarity with blasters and other weapons. The high stress of her new lifestyle had a largely negative impact on her health, both mentally and physically. It was on one of the bases, however, that she met Challen, who had been a new recruit himself. Although the two rarely spoke to each other first, the Zeltron warmed up to him as they were placed in the same squad a number of times. Miwo began to regard him as a sort of parental figure. The two eventually ended up being stationed on the small base on Patitite Pattuna, mostly at Challen's insistence.
