Background
Mia Joy comes from rich polish family, but she was born and raised in Sweden. Her parents were hiding there from the people that wanted to hurt them because of their wealth.

Growing up everyone around her was speaking only Polish or English so she never learned her home country language. Wasn't allow to go out or make any friends, she was lonely. Her only friend was her maid. As years were passing she was getting sick of the situation. She felt like she is being held hostage at her own house.

One day she finally decided to go and explore the outside. But she didn't know that day would be one of the worst in her life. She got kidnapped. Not knowing what's happening she spend days alone in a dark room. All she could do was to just wait for someone to save her from this nightmare. One night when she was falling asleep she heard loud noises and gunshots. She started hitting the door with all the strength she had left and yell so someone can hear her. When the door open she saw her dad. He took her in arms and started running out. When they were outside all she could see was people fighting and dead bodies. Her dad give her a small bag and told her to take it with her and run away as fast and far as she can. She didn't wanna leave him but had no other choice. She apologised to her dad for running away, said she will never do it again. She turn around and start running. Suddenly she heard a gun shot, when she turned around it was the worst thing for her to see. Her dad was shot and now lying on the ground. He yelled to her to keep running and never look back. So she did. Another gun shot. And she knew he is dead now.

Somehow she got away. When she opened the bag there was cash, plane ticket to city called Los Santos, passport and letter. Reading the letter she couldn't believe here eyes. Letter explained everything, all the questions she had for years. But she can't never tell the truth about her to anyone who she really is.

Lost and heartbroken she decided to honor their wishes and leave everything behind to start new life so she came to Los Santos in late February 2021.

Facts

 * No matter the outfit or occasion, Mia is always wearing the black leather gloves.
 * Is very clumsy. Mia will often find herself tripping over objects or other people. This is also one of the reasons why she loves tackling people so much.

 * Due to difficult, traumatic experiences and having no friends while growing up, Mia tends to be childish and have a strong immature side.
 * Dislikes both hugging other people and getting hugged. On the other hand, is very fond of messing with them by punching, which is not always on purpose and is done "accidentally" according to her. Unfortunately, due to Mia's clumsiness, she either misses the punch or hits random strangers.

Arriving in Los Santos
On her first day in the city when she was exploring around, man in all black and helmet came up to her and ask if she can borrow him her bike. Seemed like he was in hurry, she just got off the bike and give it to him.

He thank her and took off but seconds later came back and give her his number to contact him later. That was her first interaction with someone in the city, first talk, first phone number. First man she met... and first voice that made her feel something. Because she never knew the outside life, she was kind of naive, everything was new to her. Even though she doesn't know who he is, she has fallen for him. He was her "first". And that's how she saved his number. Never having those feelings before she didn't know what to do, contact him or not.

Roaming around the city trying to find some kind of job, she met Benny Harvey and Molly Minaj. Because she is shy and not talking much, Molly did most of the talking and kind of took her care of her that day. That was one of her best day in a while, they took her to boxing fight and also learn some bike tricks. Finally felt like she has some friends something that she never had.

Doubting if she should text the mysterious guy that she has crush on she asked Molly for advice and she told her to go for it. Getting courage from someone she finally did. She doesn't understand that feelings towards him and its making her crazy. Using excuse if he happens to know about stable jobs openings. He told her to contact him next day. That made her happy, she will be able to hear him again and maybe find out who he is. Feeling all the excitment, couldn't wait for the next day/

Looking around jobs apps she saw there is opening for bartenders at the Mirror Park Tavern, so she went for it and somehow got the job there.

Still trying to find out her place in the city she decided to keep looking for other jobs to figure out where she fits the best and what she wants.

Next day she decided to call her "first'. Not being lucky because the phone reception was bad, she never talked to him. That made her sad, decided to text him few times but he never answered. She doesn't know if he is busy man, maybe he moved out of the city, got into trouble or just ghosting. But decided to not give up and give it some time. Hoping she will met her first love again soon enough and actually find out who he really is.

Sudden departure
On April 18th, a day as usual and ordinary as one can be, without telling anyone, not even her partner Misty, Mia decided to pack her things and, as fast as possible, leave for her home country in the Europe... Upon finding out, her friends and crew could not think of any logical reason of this sudden and drastic departure... In their minds, the only plausible one was regarding Mia's strange, depressive and worrisome behaviour the day before...

Relationship with Benny Harvey and Molly Minaj
{{CollapseText||Title= Molly Minaj and Benny Harvey - Friends |Body=

The Initial Meeting

 * Similarly to many other friendship stories in Los Santos, Mia Joy met Molly Minaj and Benny Harvey at the local fast food restaurant Burger Shot. After getting on Molly’s BMX and teasing the restaurant’s security Tanner by jokingly flipping him off, the trio quickly realized that this accidental and aimless meeting could potentially grow into a heartwarming, but, later on, as they found out, gruesome friendship, filled with both joy and sorrow.

Like in a fairytale

 * As the time went on, the two started not only working, but also spending their free-time together. Time and time again they found themselves together fishing in the Pacific Ocean or hunting near Mount Chiliad. According to Mia herself, even some of her best, fond memories were made exactly during these adventures, where they not only managed to come into a small fortune by obtaining a rare animal pelt or catching a rare fish, but also goofing and playing around, what Mia loved doing more than anyone else. The “goofing” itself, also, was not something anyone would expect either - from making Mia trip and fall from a small ladder at the pier to damaging Benny’s car to the point of towing… Fortunately, without getting angry or mad at each other, both of them cherished and savoured these occasions and moments, making their bond stronger.
 * Getting closer and closer each day, the two started seeing and admiring each other almost like a brother and a sister… Got closer and closer only to immediately realise that the two might be seeing each other as something more.

The Differences

 * The only thing Mia detested and despised regarding the trio’s relationship was the manipulative feelings she could feel... With Benny obsessing over Molly, losing control of his own body and mind, not realising that she is only using and toying with him, Mia could not just stand and watch it happening… could not ignore his cries into void nor watch her best friend get hurt even more...
 * Every time Mia tried explaining this peculiar situation or even mentioned anything related to it... in her way of thinking, every time she tried saving him, he was able to escape and evade by turning off his phone or, simply, change the topic - run away, as best as he could. Unfortunately to Mia, it seemed like he did not care nor he wanted to be helped…

Last Meeting

 * As of the middle of March, the trio’s relationship became too much of a burden for anyone to bear. Being a toy to play with for Molly, completely rejected by Moonflower Opalchild and, of course, seen as nothing more than just a good friend by Mia, Benny completely fell apart both physically and emotionally. Without properly announcing or explaining his departure, he left the city… Left Mia, his best friend, heartbroken and clueless as of what had happened… The only thing she understood and knew for a fact was that, one way or another, she had to find and talk with Molly.
 * As if it was meant to happen, later that day, Mia ran into Molly in the midst of her leaving the apartments. Upon telling the whole story, explaining that, in Mia’s thoughts, Benny had no choice, but to leave the city because of Molly’s cold-hearted actions, Mia could not believe what she was hearing… After finding out what happened, Molly did not react in any way whatsoever and kept her cool… The distance and coldness she felt coming from Molly infuriated Mia, struck the wrong chord and made her act impulsive, aggressive to such an extent that she even started assaulting and screaming… Regrettably, Molly, who does not take such things lightly, had no choice, but to hit her back just as violently… Not understanding the circumstances, Molly, feeling safe from attacks, decided to call Benny and hear everything from him.. hear his side of the story as she still did care about him a lot, but, regretfully, it was too late…
 * Noticeably disoriented and light-headed, Mia was left laying on the pavement crying her heart out, with nothing, but the feelings of shock, confusion, regret and, most importantly, guilt, grazing another emotional scar deep inside of her.


 * Upon losing consciousness and waking up at the Pillbox Medical Center, various thoughts started flowing through Mia’s mind. On one hand, she felt a great deal of sorrow not only because of Benny or the regretful things she has done up until now, but on the other hand, she felt a strange empowerment… Mia realised that the only person she could completely put trust in was no one else, but herself.

''And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. –'' "Kafka on the Shore"
