What About Mimi

Mimi Morton is an 11 year old girl that has a plan (more than one). She things positively about everything. She's been told that she has a wild imagination. She's got two great friends, Russell and Elaine. They stand by her no matter what.

She can't stand phonies, especially Sincerity Travers. She stands up for what she believes.

Saffron Martin is Mimi's mom. She is a bit of a hippie. She has a different New Age fad every week, which usually causes Mimi much embarrassment. Peace man.

What About Mimi

Marv Marin is Mimi's dad. He used to be a hippie but has grown out of it. He's a computer geek. He's a confused parent. He avoids problems by going to garage to "fix something" or he runs out to return a video. He's a true romantic and a dreamer.

Jason Martin is Mimi's 15 year old brother. He's a geek but Mimi doesn't think so. She just thinks he lacks fashion sense. He's generally behind the times. He's trying to get Courtney Lassiter, a popular girl, to notice him.

Elaine Pituskin is an Mimi's 11 year old friend. She's a bit flaky but Mimi likes that about her. Elaine doesn't care what people think about her. She's a tree hugger and loves animals, all kinds. She's one of the people who doesn't need Mimi's help. She often helps Mimi.

What About Mimi

Sincerity Travers is a popular 11 year old girl. She a popular girl that seems to get what she wants by acting innocent and by pointing out problems. She used to be Mimi's best friend but Sincerity got popular and discovered boys, makeup and clothes. Mimi feels she and Russell and Elaine are the only ones who know the real Sincerity.

Russell Van Eden is Mimi's 11 year old friend. He is one her two best friend, the other one being Elaine. Russell has been friends with Mimi since Kindergarden and they've been neighbours since then too. Mimi feels it's her job to expose Russell's talents. He's is generally easy-going. He is great with a videocamera and Mimi thinks he'll be a "greater director than Steven Spielber" with her help, of course.

Bradley Martin is Mimi's 11 year old brother. Mimi feels that Bradley's biggest problem is his attitude. Bradley sees doom every time Mimi comes up with a plan. Mimi uses him as an assistant who's there for her when things don't go quite according to plan.
