Miime

ミーメ

A mysterious alien woman with long blue hair, she thrives on alcohol and possesses psychic and psionic powers. She is the last survivor of her home planet, Jura, from which Harlock saved her. After her rescue, Miime joined the crew of the Arcadia and pledged her life to Harlock in gratitude for saving her. She serves as Harlock's closest companion and confidante, willing to protect him at any cost when needed. She appears to lack a mouth (a trait apparently common in Juran physiology), yet she can absorb liquids through the general mouth area. Possessing a quiet, sensitive personality, she helps Doctor Zero tend to injured crew members in times of need, despite having no official position aboard the Arcadia. Her empathic nature makes her valuable in a counseling capacity; for example, she consoles Miss Masu following the loss of the latter's estranged fiancé. She is musically skilled with the harp. In the 1999 Harlock Saga OVA, she is refashioned to appear as a human-looking woman. This version also receives a different backstory, making her a member of the Nibelung clan, and changes her musical instrument from the harp to a pipe organ with the ability to control time, though she retains the same abilities as in her previous incarnation. She returns to her original appearance and origins in the 2002 Endless Odyssey OVA.
