Mimi is also honest, though sometimes brutally honest to the point where she unintentionally hurts others. She is very ditzy, and has a rather wild imagination. Through her adventures in the Digital World, she learns that sometimes fighting is necessary to protect the ones she loves, and becomes more confident and resilient. As a teenager, Mimi has shed most of her spoiled mannerisms, and is very confident and upbeat.

In the American English dub, she often talks of shopping and fashion.[citation needed]

Mimi is a talented singer, a reference to her voice actor singing the anime endings, and puts that skill to great effect at ShogunGekomon's castle. She has odd culinary tastes; in the Japanese version, her favorite food is nattō, a dish made of fermented soybeans that is notorious for being an acquired taste due to its smell and texture. She maintains this trait through Digimon Adventure tri., in which she tops a dish with jelly beans and whipped cream.

In the Japanese version, Mimi is unable to swim 25 m, while in the American English dub, she's unable to swim across a bathtub. Departure for a New Continent
