Mikulia Greeonio

"Here there are a lot of pretty things. That's why Mikulia is really happy right now."

- Mikulia regarding her life growing up

Mikulia Greeonio was a peasant from Abito, Asmodean in the Beelzenian Empire and one of Duke Sateriasis Venomania's many victims. Used as a vessel by the Demon of Sloth, Mikulia grew up miserable with her circumstances. Under the presumption that he was her prince, Mikulia joined the Duke's harem of her own volition.

Early Life
"But you know, back home, I only had rice to plow and tend to."

- Mikulia regarding her life growing up

After the death of her grandmother, the unborn Mikulia was used as a vessel by the Demon of Sloth, influencing her since before birth. She was born to her biological parents around EC 118 and was later abandoned by the roadside. Afterward, she was found and adopted by a family of rice farmers in Abito village. Ridiculed by her parents for her low intelligence and dissatisfied that she was too poor to own even a doll to play with, the miserable Mikulia hoped she would be rescued by a prince.

Venomania Event
"Mikulia Greeonio... I talked to you about her before, didn't I?" "One of Sateriasis Venomania's lovers... and also, someone who looked a lot like the Original Sinner, is that right?"

- Elluka Clockworker and Held

Towards the end of January, EC 136, Mikulia was carrying a glass bottle through the forest when she saw a demonic man seducing a woman. Terrified, she dropped the bottle and screamed incomprehensibly before collapsing on the ground. Unable to stand, the frightened Mikulia attempted to crawl away when another woman with a red cat arrived. Once the horned and winged man approached her, asking her to return to his mansion with him, Mikulia refused and shoved him; she fled back to Abito immediately after.

The following month, the 18-year-old encountered Duke Sateriasis Venomania again and became infatuated with him, seeing him as the prince she had often fantasized about. Seduced, she later fled one early morning to his mansion in Lasaland, joining his harem of abducted women and was given an emerald pendant by the Duke for coming back to him.

Satisfying his desires, she was among the women with him as he attended to them in April of that year. While sitting on his lap, I.R. arrived and Sateriasis placed Mikulia on the ground before approaching the visitor. After their discussion, I.R. approached Mikulia and entrusted her "body" to the young girl. Mikulia accepted the task and, after the sorceress exited her vessel, the lifeless body collapsed in her arms. Holding it, she watched as the duke and I.R. left.

While they were gone, she began playing with the lifeless body, dressing it up like a doll. Lukana Octo happened upon her and said the sorceress would be mad later. Mikulia asked why and Lukana explained that the body wasn't a doll. Saddened, Mikulia sulked how she could never afford one but excitedly noted how much nicer it was at the mansion. As she was about to paint the body's lips, Lukana held her back, saying she would draw on her face too if she didn't stop. When Mikulia tried to argue, Lukana coldly told her that she would be unrecognizable and noticed the pendant she wore. Mikulia confirmed it was an emerald and explained why she was given her gift.

Asking if she liked the duke, Mikulia exclaimed that she loved him, saying he never called her stupid like her parents had; caught on the train of thought, she leaped at Lukana, saying she liked her too. Remembering Gumina Glassred, Mikulia lowered her head, saying she didn't like her. After a brief silence, Lukana told her she thought it was best if everyone got along for Duke Venomania. Conflicted and voicing her hesitance, the pink-haired woman said that she was sure Mikulia and Gumina could become friends despite their different origins, saying they may have similarities.

Once Sateriasis and the sorceress returned from their journey, the body was taken back, and Mikulia returned to pleasing the Duke's whims. During this time, she was given a doll to play with and eventually, the Demon of Sloth was transferred from her to the doll. At some point, she became pregnant with Sateriasis' child. When the disguised Kachess Crim successfully stabbed the Duke in EC 137, Mikulia fled the mansion with the other women.

Soon after, she discovered her pregnancy and, once the child was born, fled from the village with her newborn child. Later that year, she ended up at a brothel in Lasaland and became a prostitute. Sometime after, she met Elluka Clockworker while she was investigating the Venomania Event. Mikulia was later impregnated again. During another visit by Elluka, the young girl went into labor and experienced complications; after giving birth to the child, Mikulia died.

Legacy
Following her death, the Demon of Sloth used hypnosis to create a persona in her image, fleeing from the brothel and becoming a florist in Calgaround. Believed to be the same woman by historians, the exploits of the "Flower of the Plateau" were later attributed to Mikulia, as well as her former handler and son later seeking her out and being murdered by the doll.

Similarly, it was believed Phantom Thief Platonic had descended from her lineage by Elluka Clockworker. Centuries after her death, Elluka's investigation into the Flower of the Plateau led her to discover Mikulia's alleged life in Calgaround after her official death, eventually uncovering the reality about the fake Mikulia versus the real one she witnessed die.

Personality and Traits
"Mikulia, about Lord Venomania... Do you like him?" "I love him! Because Lord Venomania doesn't call Mikulia stupid like Papa and Mama. I love him! Oh, and, and, I like Lukana too!"

- Lukana and Mikulia

Mikulia was a bubbly and clueless girl with a childish and energetic attitude. She would take delight in feminine activities such as playing with dolls, beautifying people with makeup and pretty clothes, or making flower arrangements. In addition, she was easily delighted with jewelry and other beautiful things and held an attraction to upper-class lifestyles, fantasizing about rich princes and envying aristocrats for being able to afford the finer luxuries.

Often merry and eager to entertain herself, Mikulia approached situations with a cheerful and carefree demeanor; as a result of this approach, she seemed unconcerned with the consequences of her actions and unaware of the reality of certain situations, though easily cowed by harmless hearts. Likewise, Mikulia was horrified upon meeting the Duke in his demonic form, though later convinced he was her fantasized Prince and ignoring his more distasteful qualities.

In addition, she hid various frustrations and disgust with her parents and social status, insecure from her parents' ridicule. Due to being the vessel for the Demon of Sloth since birth, these feelings were amplified and Mikulia could quickly shift moods from bubbly to miserable with little provocation, though her attitude continued even after the Demon had left her body.

Because of this, Mikulia responded positively to any form of self-validation such as the attentions of a kinder and nobler figures in her life, becoming infatuated with Duke Sateriasis for being her fantasized prince. She also easily got along with those of her same social status who tolerated her behavior, though often bitter towards aristocrats. Following the Venomania Event, Mikulia instead sought validation through the attention given to her through prostitution, happy to be popular with the locals.

Skills and Abilities
"The Lust spell didn't work. What's going on, I.R.?" "Yeah… It looks like things have gotten a little out of hand. I can think of a few reasons why, but…"

- Duke Venomania and I.R.

As a peasant, Mikulia lacked a formal education; on top of this, she wasn't very intelligent and was often considered dim-witted by others and incompetent as a farmer. This extended to the girl's common sense and she often acting without considering the consequences of her actions. Due to being the vessel for the Demon of Sloth, Mikulia's obtuse demeanor amplified and likewise hindered her maturity.

In contrast to her clueless demeanor, Mikulia showed skill in techniques of beautification such as using makeup and making floral arrangements. Likewise, her beauty made her highly desired as a prostitute and she became popular among attendants at the Lasaland brothel during her time there.

While she was a human vessel for the Demon of Sloth, Mikulia was immune to the powers of the other Demons of Sin and the girl was able to understand I.R.'s speech while the mage spoke via her cat body. Also, because she was used as a vessel since conception, Mikulia developed a youthful and beautiful appearance akin to that of Eve Moonlit. Combined with her carefree personality, Mikulia was able to easily put up a front for her peers and become well-loved by them.
