w e i g h t x // x126 lbs
h a i r x // xWhen let free, Mia's hair travels to her shoulders, cascading in beachy waves. While it may mostly appears black, Mia's hair is actually a deep brown - visible in bright lighting.
e y e s x // xPeople often comment on how Mia has her mother's eyes. A sweet brown, they're larger than average and almost make her look doe-eyed.
o d d i t i e s x // xSurprisingly, Mia is nearly blemish free. All scars she has received through just being a normal, albeit slightly rambunctious, child faded almost immediately after they had healed. The only thing of note is that Mia has her ears pierced, and has since she was a toddler. No longer would a needle be able to pierce through her skin, but when she was a baby her powers were not fully formed. Otherwise her body remains free from all kinds of blemishes and oddities.
a p p e a r a n c e x // xWhile Mia may have gained all her powers from her father, almost all of her looks came from her mother. Her skin a harmonious mix of her father's deep brown and her mother's soft caramel, Mia was exceptionally fortunate to have gained all her parents best features. She's strong - that's a given - but not visibly, her muscles are toned and lean. Her hair is almost always in a messy bun, however for special occasions she will let it down. Luckily for her Luke Cage never had a specific get-up, so she doesn't have to bother with funny suits and the like. In fact she often doesn't like to wear much when she's training, opting for sweatpants or shorts and a vest most of the time, she finds these the most freeing and anything she's wearing is bound to get dirty/ripped anyway so there's no point in wearing something fancy.

P O W E R S
s u p e r h u m a nxs t r e n g t h x // x With abilities that seem unnatural for someone of her stature, Mia's strength allows her to easily rag doll, lift, drag and send normal humans flying; she is able break bones with a kick. However, Mia is not invincible, and a large number of attackers all at once may be able to overpower her.
s u p e r h u m a nxs t a m i n ax // x Able to function for days on end without tiring, Mia can go without rest or even sleep during this time. This strenuous activity causes Mia to become hungry (just like it did with her father) and she will have to consume a lot of food to keep it up.
n e a r - i m p e n e t r a b l exs k i nx // x The only known objects to have penetrated a Cage's skin have been a Judas Bullet as well as a needle shoved into the eye. Regular Bullets ricochet off of her skin. Other beings with superhuman strength are able to to injure her.
r e g e n e r a t i v exh e a l i n gx // x Mia's body heals at an accelerated rate, any scar or cut she may obtain will often be gone within the hour she had gotten it. Mia cannot regrow limbs but she can recover from head traumas as well as falling from great heights. Luke Cage even recovered from a whole building falling on top of him.
P R O F I C I E N C I E S
h a n d - t o - h a n dxc o m b a tx // x Clearly Mia is incredibly strong, meaning that she excels far better in hand-to-hand combat than she does with weaponry.
s t r o n g - w i l l e dx // x When Mia resolves to do something, she's going to do it. She is as stubborn as her father.
q u i c k - t h i n k i n gx // x Quick on her feet, whenever there's a situation or something's gone wrong, Mia is there thinking up a solution.
h e l p f u lx // x Always willing to help, Mia isn't exactly selfless, but if someone comes to her in dire need she'll happily lend them a hand.
W E A K N E S S E S
l o v e dxo n e sx // x The easiest way to get to Mia would be through her loved ones. Due to this, she tends to be wary about the friends that she makes.
m o r a l sx // x While her morals may not be as strong as her fathers, Mia refuses to kill. Her father was successful without becoming a murderer and so Mia believes that she can be also.
h a r s hx // x Growing up in Harlem, as well as years of tireless training have hardened Mia to the world. She doesn't sugarcoat anything and her words can come out a lot harsher than they are meant sometimes.
f l a k yx // x Instead of facing them, Mia tends to run away from problems that can't be solved by knocking someone out cold.
F E A R S
d i s a p p o i n t m e n tx // x Luke Cage always did what he thought was best, and was admired for it. Mia is afraid she won't be able to live up to her father's name and will end up disappointing not only him, but everyone else who has ever believed in her.
b e i n gxu s e dx // x Mia is a weapon, and she knows it. There's nothing the woman fears more than being used for her powers, after all that's why her father was initially given them.
n e e d l e sx // x While the only area they can penetrate is her eyes, Mia has heard the story of when that happened to her father and she seriously does not want to relive that.

Though she may not be as intimidating as her father, you do not want to mess with Mia. While her father was far more aloof and mysterious, Mia grew to be far more similar to her mother in the sense that she will speak up for what she believes in and never lets others tell her what to do. Everything Mia does, she does with such passion. Mia isn't a mean person, but when riled up she can be extremely cutting and sarcastic. However, just as her father had an aversion to swearing, Mia tends to avoid profanities.
Many have attempted to control Mia; all have failed. She is her own person and will not let others dictate what it is she does. This often got her into trouble when she attended school and can still cause conflict, even now, between her and the other descendants. With her own set of strong morals, Mia has found she can often end up bickering with those who differ in opinion. Some see her refusal to kill as silly, she's so powerful it would be easy to kill and be done with it, but Mia is not ok with being a murderer. Even when others are trying to kill her, she will only incapacitate them - Mia doesn't mind breaking a few bones.
Those closest to Mia are lucky enough to get her incredibly loving side. Old friends, new friends, family - it doesn't matter, Mia would do anything for them. She isn't the type to hold serious grudges but hurt someone she loves and you'll see the absolute worst side of Mia. She isn't extremely giving nor is she open with her love, Mia keeps all her care and love for those she has deemed trustworthy to not mess her around. Her favourite days are the ones where she's able to see her family and friends and just be with them. No battles to fight, no villains to best, Mia loves the luxury of a normal life. Something her father always tried his best to provide for her, but as Mia's powers grew,
he knew she needed to be with other people like her.

Despite the slight sourness between them, Luke and Claire made their parenting arrangements work - Luke felt like he needed to be in this child's life, as if it was his duty - and being a nurse, Claire would often need a babysitter for little Mia. The new parents immediately fell in love with their little girl, Luke had never been an emotional man, and while his affection was never obvious, Mia came to learn that those small smiles and nods of approval meant more than she could've ever imagined.
It became clear that Mia wasn't your average baby when she was supposed to be vaccinated. Instead of the needles piercing her skin, they broke on contact. Afraid of what this meant for her daughter, Claire attempted to hide these mutated abilities of Mia's; she didn't want her daughter to be stolen away and experimented on, after all that was what had made Luke this way in the first place.
As time passed it became increasingly harder and harder to ignore the fact that Mia was not your average child. Her tantrums had literally sent her mother flying on more than one occasion and Claire begun to fear her child more than the people who would seek to experiment on her. Finally she broke and told Luke about what she had been experiencing. Immediately Luke enlisted the help of his old team, The Defenders, by this time, some had already had their children and were able to put Luke onto Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Claire hated the idea of her child being carted away to some random school full of kids harbouring all kinds of abilities, but she didn't have much choice - if Mia stayed with her, in their tiny Harlem apartment, she was only going to cause more damage.
Mia attended Xavier's from the earliest age possible and stayed right through until she was eighteen. Making many close friends, as well as some less than positive relationships, along the way. She still speaks to her parents regularly, but it was not Luke who had entirely trained her and so she hadn't taken on many of his specific quirks and morals, the only thing that Mia upholds that her father also believed in was not to kill anyone. She couldn't handle murder being on her conscience.
As soon as she became eligible to leave Xavier's, Mia was offered a role at the Descendant Academy. Her father urged her to take the opportunity, but Mia needed a break from all the harsh training to actually live her life a little. Settling into a tiny apartment back home in Harlem, Mia spent some time being a normal young adult, whilst also occasionally working with her father and even more rarely, The Defenders. She loved her life, but it eventually became apparent to Mia that she should be using her abilities to help more than just her neighbourhood. Mia wanted to surpass her father's vigilante status and be able to help bring down the larger evils in this world.
Taking up that spot a the Descendant Academy she had been offered before, Mia resolved to do what she could for the world, whilst still living by her own morals that she held so dear. Mia would not let her father nor his legacy down.
