Mii

Example of 2 Miis

A Mii is a personal digital avatar character that a player can create for themselves for use in Nintendo games. Miis were introduced for the Wii alongside the system's launch late in 2006, and have since continuously appeared for use on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and their respective game libraries. They have no ears.

Miis are the inhabitants of the island in Tomodachi Collection and Tomodachi Life. Mii islanders can be edited as many times as desired. This can be done at the Town Hall or from within each individual Mii's apartment. If the Mii was created by another player, they can only be edited if the creator of that Mii allowed editing.

Behavior

Example of a female Mii.

A Mii's personality is set during the creation process. There are 5 main attributes; movement, speech, expressiveness, attitude and overall. The main attributes can be edited at any time.

Miis can have part-time jobs, where they can be seen working at one of the island's shops.

Confessions

Main article: Confession

When a female Mii and a male Mii are friends, sometimes they will start to like each other and confess their love for one another. The player can choose how they should confess, where and what they wear. This will unlock the cafe, park and amusement park. But further in the game they will either break up or get married and have ababy. Once they are married the Mii Homes will be unlocked where the family will live but they will still keep their apartments.

Mechanics

Sometimes a symbol will appear on a Mii's apartment window in Mii Apartments, which indicates that the Mii has a various need, or request, often wanting to play, asking a question, or needing a problem solved.  The player can visit their apartments anytime to give them gifts or pet them.  

Other times they may be at the fountain, beach, observation tower, park, amusement park, or café. A symbol on the map will indicate if a Mii is currently there. However, the Mii cannot be interacted with unless it is a certain event or if they are at their apartment.

Happiness score

Each Mii has an orange level bar at the top of the screen when the player enters an apartment.  The score can increase in several ways:

• Food: A Mii's happiness may increase depending on their preferences to food. Food that they like will increase it by a large amount, while food they dislike will decrease it.
• Favors - Miis will ask for various favors. They may ask for something to wear, eat, take a bath, look at their insides, change the interior, or just random questions.
• Solve problems - Miis need help with different things. One of them is checking residents to see if they found an item another Mii lost.  Mii need medicine if they are sick.
• Gifts - Miis can be given an item through the menu and they may or may not like the item. A reward will be received depending on the current mood of the Mii.

Mii level

Main article: Levels

Along with the happiness, the Mii levels up from that happiness. Allowing the player to give their Miis song lyrics, personal items, a catchphrase, pocket money, and/or a new interior (not sold in the interior shop). Once the Mii gets to level 20, they give the player silver coins and gold coins for being good to them as well as letting the player gift them new clothing and hats along with the other options to give the Miis.

Sadness score

When a Mii is sad, the level bar changes from orange to blue and the score changes in length. To return the score to normal, the following can be done:

• Feed them their favorite food. Feeding a Mii's all-time favorite drains the sadness score.
• Give them new clothing or hats.
• Give goods. Giving a travel ticket diminishes all sadness.
• Another Mii making friends with the sad Mii diminishes all sadness
