밋시

Mishy (みっしぃ) is a grey and white cat that was originally introduced as the mascot character of Mishelam Wonderland in 영웅전설 제로의 궤적. After the release of the Crossbell arc, Mishy became the mascot of Nihon Falcom as a whole. Since then, Mishy has cameoed as a real cat in a number of Falcom games such as The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails, their Ys series and is also referenced in Tokyo Xanadu.

Mishy has a sister named Mishette and also a rival in the form of a mechanized version of himself called Mecha Mishy, who is later revealed to actually be his long lost brother, Mischneider in 영웅전설 시작의 궤적. He additionally has an evil counterpart known as Evil Mishy.

Profile

Appearance

Mishy is a tall gray and white bipedal cat with a large head. He used to have slanted eyebrows but the modern version has small friendlier ones. Mishy has a long gray busy tail with a white tip.

Personality

Ever optimistic, Mishy is a champion of justice and friendship to all. Children (and many who are older) love him and his antics. He can sometime be rather bumbling, as opposed to his more level-headed sister, Mishette.

영웅전설 제로의 궤적

Tio Plato suggests wearing her Mishy pajamas when the Special Support Section visits Mishelam Wonderland in order to be incognito, but her idea is vetoed by the other members who feel it would only make her stand out more. One of the attendants at the entrance to theme park states that there is only one Mishy in the world, to which Lloyd Bannings comments that they must have really carefully scheduled shifts to pull this off. Tio tells him to not speak such heresy.

Courtesy of Mariabell Crois, the Special Support Section and members of Arc en Ciel are given a vacation at Mishelam Wonderland. Tio is excited to meet Mishy. She and the others learn of the latest fad - kicking Mishy to receive good luck. An optional sidequest allows Lloyd and a chosen partner to search throughout the park for Mishy's sister, Mishette. At the end of the vacation, Campanella uses magic to substitute an image of an evil clown in a hedge where Mishy normally appears, angering Tio.

Later on, the Special Support Section is called to Mishelam Wonderland on a support request. The request involves Lloyd searching as a substitute Mishy performer. At first, Tio is bereft at having her delusions regarding the nature of the occasion shattered. She, however, quickly rises to the occasion by shadowing Lloyd dressed as Mishette in order to audit his performance. Afterwards, Tio is again left in a confused state when the two of them meet the usual performer for Mishy - a butch man whom nobody would likely ever suspect for the role.

During the Thors Academy Festival, Class V hosts a game called Mishy Panic. The prize is a Mishy plush and the objective is to use a large mallet to smash the Evil Mishy character popping out of holes, while avoiding smashing either the normal Mishy or Mishette, which results in a point deduction.

Laura S. Arseid notes that despite the character having originated in Crossbell, she sees him quite a bit in the Empire and admits a certain fondness for him herself.

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III

By 영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III Mishy is now extremely popular in Erebonia as well, probably due to the Empire's annexation of its country of origin. A new show is held during the Summer Festival in Heimdallr, during which Mishy is unexpectedly challenged by an individual named Mecha Mishy who declares himself to be the real Mishy. He knocks Mishy to the ground, but Mishy is able to get back up thanks to the audience's cheers. He then tells Mecha Mishy that it doesn't matter which of them is real, and the two of the sing and dance together, chanting the catchphrase "Let's dance and make a wishy... with Mishy."

In Vantage Masters, if the player lands Mishy during the initial coin toss, they play first. If however, Evil Mishy appears, their opponent plays first instead.

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 IV

A costumed Mishy is a Vantage Masters opponent at Mishelam Wonderland, an entire park themed after Mishy. Merchandise themed after Mishy and his siblings is available throughout the park.

On the eventide of Operation Jormungandr, the joint forces of Mille Mirage and Operation Shining Steel are given exclusive access for an evening of fun inside the park. During the event, a new show is presented. The show was originally not scheduled to begin until the next month, but brought forward for the event. In it, Mecha Mishy reveals that that he is actually Mishy's long-lost brother, Mischneider, much to the delight of both Jingo and Tio Plato, who are both great fans of Mishy.

Campanella and Mariabell Crois use magic to project an image of Evil Mishy onto the door leading to them inside Tuatha De Danann.

Mishy's character eventually ended up getting quite popular in Calvard as well, however its Calvardian design is quite different from the original: his eyebrows are less tilted and the white fur on his face has a different pattern. Some Mishy fans dislike this new interpretation of the character, but many find it charming.

Mishy is popular enough to even have an orbal movie about him: Mishy in Boots. Given Mishy's popularity with children, many grown-ups recommend the film to kids without having seen it themselves, but the film actually has a dark tone that some children might find traumatizing.

Calvardian A Rank Bracer Elaine Auclair is a massive Mishy fan.

A man named Jiafei in the Eastern Quarter of Langport sells knockoff Moshy plush, but insists they are the real thing. Moshy has no eyebrows, a larger head and more white on his face, among other differences. Another vendor in the Entertainment District of Tharbad, Marcello's Bootlegs, sells a knockoff Moshette Strap. Marcello, however, informs his clients beforehand that his products are imitations of the real thing.

영웅전설 여의 궤적 II

During Kuro II, The Trion Mall in Trion Tower Plaza hosts some Mishy shows for public events. The suit the Mishy performer wears is also different from the ones in other countries: the design is less stylized, more thin, humanoid and baggy. Mishy also does a performance at the Aramis Academy Festival.

In the 4SPG "The Mishy Misadventure," Van Arkride and his team encounter a man attempting to sabotage a Mishy performance at Trion Tower Plaza due to his dislike for the Calvardian design of Mishy. After they thwart his sabotage, Elaine helps him to see that true Mishy fans can still accept this new design.

The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails

Mishy is a rare creature, rarely seen by anyone. Mishy appears as a grey fur-coloured cat. It is marked by its cries of "mishishi". The innards of its ears are a soft red, just like a regular cat-based creature, and the ends of its tail in white. Mishy stands in the form of a human and never crawls on its paws.

Trivia

• A plush toy of Mishy was included as part of the Thors Academy Edition of the English-language release of 영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III, the most expensive edition of the game, exclusive to the NISA Online Store.
• Mishy's name and nature are both referential of Mickey Mouse, who has served as a mascot for The Walt Disney Company since 1928. Mishy's name is phonetically similar to Mickey and the official romanization of the name in Japan is, in fact, "Michey," which is one letter off from Mickey. Whereas Mickey is a mouse, Mishy is a cat, which are traditionally depicted as the enemies of mice. Similar to Mickey, Mishy serves as a mascot for a theme park and more generally as a mascot for an entire franchise.
