Mila is a wealthy girl from [[Windfall Island]] who was kidnapped by the [[Helmaroc King]] and taken to the [[Forsaken Fortress]].<ref>{{Cite|...It's difficult to tell. Yes. Difficult. You see, my one and only daughter, Mila, was taken away from me to a frightening place called the Forsaken Fortress... I have asked many to rescue her, but it seems to be a difficult voyage to that cursed place...|Mila's Father|TWW}}</ref> During [[Link]]'s second trip to the Forsaken Fortress, [[Tetra]] and her [[Tetra's Pirate Crew|crew of pirates]] take Mila and {{Term|TWWHD|Maggie (The Wind Waker)|link}} back to Windfall Island. When Mila returns, she learns that [[Mila's Father|her father]] spent their riches paying Tetra in hopes of bringing her back to the island safely.<ref>{{Cite|But one day, a monstrous bird came and took me away to a terrible place called the Forsaken Fortress, where I was locked up and held captive. Oh, it was awful! My father spent every last Rupee in his coffers in an attempt to get me rescued.|Mila|TWW}}</ref> Being saddened and angered by her new life of poverty, Mila assumes work at [[Zunari's Shop]] to try and make money for the family.<ref>{{Cite|Now, every day, from morning until night, I'm busy working for the open-air shop. So, as you can see, at least I'm trying to settle into my poor lifestyle.|Mila|TWW}}</ref><ref name="Figurine"/> However, she becomes impatient and sneaks out at night to steal the money out of [[Zunari]]'s private safe.<ref>{{Cite|I-I'm not a thief! I swear! I haven't stolen anything! Well, yet.|Mila|TWW}}</ref> Link must follow her and intervene as she attempts to open Zunari's safe, catching her in the act and forcing her to give up her life of crime.<ref>{{Cite|It's true... I know I'm quibbling over nothing... But being so poor weakens a person's very soul... But...it's time I quit making silly excuses for myself!|Mila|TWW}}</ref> Afterwards, instead of thieving, she tells Link that she spends her evenings working at an unspecified island, indicating that she is no longer present on Windfall Island at night.<ref>{{Cite|I'm done with all that sneaking around in the dark. In fact, I head off to a faraway island to work in the evenings now, so I won't be seeing you at night anymore!|Mila|TWW}}</ref>

Prior to her life of squalor, Mila had a very bossy and overbearing disposition,<ref name="Figurine"/> but later becomes more humble and polite after accepting her new lifestyle.<ref>{{Cite|Welcome to you, sir! This way to Windfall's outdoor shop, chock-full of fun and happy products!|Mila|TWW}}</ref>
