Further information: Mimi and her older "sister" Sheshe together make up the Black Beauty Sisters, a pair of anglerfish granted humanoid form by the respective antagonists of both seasons in the Mermaid Melody franchise. Though loyal first and foremost to each other, the sisters serve whoever's resurrected them from the bottom of the ocean, as they don't want to return to the isolation of their natural habitat.
Villains therefore by both choice and nature, they serve as first a genuine threat and then comic relief, concocting scheme after scheme to capture the "mermaid princess" heroines of the series and failing each time. As the "fighting" in Mermaid Melody is done primarily through song, the songs they sing cause pain to the mermaids and vice versa; in true cartoon villain fashion, they usually almost have the mermaids within their grasp only for some deus ex machina to intrude. Despite this, they persist, buoyed both by their (considerable) egos, their desire to remain in their current forms - and, at this point, a pretty considerable grudge.
At Mimi's canon point, she and her sister Sheshe have recently squabbled: due to Mimi's recklessness and a clumsy misstep, the mermaids escaped yet again. After hurting each other's feelings Mimi left her sister behind, determined to capture the Mermaid Princesses by herself and therefore prove she doesn't need Sheshe's assistance. The only thing she's managed to do, however, is get herself hopelessly lost.
Personality:
Despite her abysmal track record, Mimi makes a very smug first impression. Both she and her sister have a bad habit of lording themselves over villains and promising their "employers" more than they can deliver, always with a cocky smile for outsiders and then a fond one for each other. Canon never states whether Mimi and Sheshe are biologically related, but it's absolutely certain that they treasure each other more than anything else. Not a scene goes by without them complimenting each other, conspiring together, or demonstrating physical fondness; Mimi's accustomed to hanging all over Sheshe's arm, and seems to particularly like getting tickled under the chin.
The only person with a higher opinion of Mimi than Sheshe is Mimi herself. Cheeky, insolent, and very much someone who lives in the present, Mimi's schemes tend to be concocted in the heat of the moment, and she's absolutely relentless in her cruel teasing of anybody she considers beneath her - which, frankly, is most people. Mimi's so convinced she's all that, she'll yawn while dodging attacks from irate co-villains; childish and occasionally flirty, she's also the more excitable of the two sisters. Overall, once off her high horse Mimi comes across as immature: cutely so, in some cases - she'll kick her legs back and forth if bored, and in one episode vents her stress by playing with bubble wrap - but in most others she's a bit of a quick-tempered brat.
Brattishness goes hand in hand with villainy. More than anything, Mimi gets excited by the thought of causing destruction, nearly squealing in glee every time she and her sister are ready to unleash another water twister/destroy a building/melt an iceberg/insert plan of the day. Water-related chaos meets with her special appeal, and anything with an aura of darkness or evil will feel soothing. (She also can't stand human cooking.)
Mimi's speech tends to be rather elegant, cocky, and drawling all at once; in addition to the usual villain habit of speaking about one's plans at length out loud, she's got not one but two catchphrases. As Sheshe's #1 fan and partner in crime, Mimi has a habit of saying "It's soo true!" whenever Sheshe makes an observation, eager to twin her opinions to her sister's conspiratorially. She's also likely to describe any potential act of destruction as "thrilling", often accompanied by a blush, a sigh, or a girlish pose. Mimi may not be very good at her job, but she definitely enjoys it.
Enjoyment hasn't led to improvement, however. Though neither of the Black Beauty Sisters seems capable of planning for the unexpected - hence their constant defeats - Mimi is especially guilty, and tends to create problems for herself. Because she's more likely to act in the present, heedless of her surroundings or the potential consequences of her actions, she pushes other people too far with her taunting and takes too many risks in "battle". Give her something to prove, however, and she's relentless - with no thought to her own safety, she'll stick around for the long haul. (Otherwise, she's more likely to run in fear and regroup.)
Mimi actually can be rather selfless, when it comes to people she cares about - she lets her heart rule her head. (She even has difficulty later fighting the Mermaid Princesses, for example, once she learns they're actually people she befriended while in disguise.) First and foremost, she'd do anything for Sheshe, and is more than willing to admit her mistakes if it means sparing her sister any hardship. Though not without her pride, Mimi does her best to protect her sister, putting her own safety aside to ensure Sheshe remains unharmed.
Arriving alone in Johto (and in the middle of a rare fight with Sheshe), she'll nonetheless do the best to prove herself capable of going solo. She just might get lonely along the way. :(
Strengths/Weaknesses: + Loyal once she cares...if a bit of a suck-up + Persistent and resilient (as only Saturday morning cartoon villains can be) + More a power than a strength: will retain ability to communicate with sea animals +/- Unbelievable self-confidence/arrogance; difficult to ruffle, as a result +/- If you manage to phase her, bit of a spitfire - Reliant on her (here absent) sister - Unlucky and often just plain clueless - Reckless - pushes people, situations, etc too far - Uses people; loyal to herself first and foremost - Stock evil; can't stand happy or heartfelt music (it actually causes her pain)

Samples First Person Sample:
[The feed turns on to an impressive sight! How Mimi's managed to commandeer a crane is anybody's guess, but there's definitely construction equipment standing next to this lake, with Mimi at the helm (in a hard hat, no less). Laughing triumphantly, she pats the controls, crosses her legs, and addresses the feed.]
Everyone~! Isn't it boring here? Guess then it's time to put on a little show!
Look over here~
[She pushes a button and cranks some levers; the crane activates, lifting a net slowly out of the water.]
Who needs "Surf" or a fishing rod? Everything in this lake now belongs to me! So sorry, poor little trainers in the - huh?
[The net is a writhing mass of orange bodies and yellow flippers. "Karp, karp," the contents say in confusion. "Karp, karp." There don't appear to be any other species.]
Oh........only that.
N-no one go anywhere!! I'll show you all! Prepare yourselves!
[A squeal, a "karp", and the feed cuts out.]
Third Person Sample:
The rain beat down on the windows of the Pokémon Center, droplets splattering against the glass like bugs on a windshield. Most trainers, breeders, or even Rockets would seek cover during such conditions - but Mimi comprised one half of the elegant, invincible Black Beauty Sisters. She hardly counted as "most".
Wriggling in place as she stared up at the sky, Mimi jumped for joy and spun around in the rain. Maybe a tree would fall over onto someone's house! All the little woodland animals were almost certainly ducking for cover. Maybe they'd all get soaked through - it'd serve them right, particularly all those rats that bit at her cute little fishes while she was traveling, and all those birds whose nest she'd stepped in that'd had the gall to chase and peck her mercilessly! Oohh, how they'd be sorry now!
"It's so thrilling," Mimi gushed into the wind, turning to stare up expectantly behind her. "Right, Sister Sheshe?"
But Sheshe wasn't there. Sheshe hadn't been there for weeks now. And still, Mimi kept making that mistake.
Oh, well! Why had her shoulders gone all slumped? This was an occasion to celebrate, the first in a long, long time. If only there were some way to control it herself...some way to take advantage of it....if Sheshe were here, she'd know what to do....
Letting out all of her Pokémon (water types, the lot of them), Mimi held her hands up to catch the rain. "Now, everyone!" she crowed. "Make it rain, harder and harder and hard - oopf!"
Who'd put that puddle there? Over she went onto her behind, lying in the mud as the rain beat down on her head. And while her Pokémon gathered around, asking in their ridiculous little voices whether she was all right, Mimi couldn't help but hug her knees. The storm was here. The followers were here. Everything was here but the most important thing.
"You'll be all right," her Chinchou said, resting a fin aganst her chin - but it just wasn't the same. "You're a strong girl, Mimi."
"It's - so true," Mimi agreed, hugging herself harder. For Sheshe's sake, and her own as well, she'd keep trying. She'd succeed, even if she was alone.
But for now, she was just one girl, outside in a puddle. And on top of all that, she'd just sneezed.
