Hm, out of a sudden I have the urge to write something about Mima.
Well, where do I start?

Mima, as everybody know, is one of the most, if not THE most popular character from the PC-98 era. Although I really like her as a player in Mystic Square, I actually don´t know why she´s that popular.
Not that I´m implying Mima is a bad concepted character, but it´s rather weird that she has such a huge fanbase.
When I think of other characters, like Rika, Meira or Ellen, I feel utterly sad about them because they´re not as memorized as Mima.

Maybe it´s the fact that she had, alongside with Marisa, her apprentice and disciple, the most appearances, with the exception of Reimu but that´s obvious. Or her almost cynical and sadistic conversation with her Danmaku opponents.
But nonetheless, I like Mima as much as every other character of the PC-98 era. They all have their peculiar personality and backstory, which makes them as interesting as the Windows characters.

Hopefully, there are more who have the same thought.

Well, for the arrangement, I wanted to give it a sad but also a climatic feeling. It´s supposed to express Mima´s backstory and the will and determination to return to her body in order to become human again. Her will to break the chains of her existince as a spirit/ghost.
I think it turned out the right way.

From now on, I´ll rank my personal work in a ranking from 1-10, so you have an insight of what I´m actually doing. :-)

Time: Around 1 1/2 hour
Effort: 8/10
Satisfaction: 9/10
Exhaustion: 6/10
Fun at arranging: 10/10

PS: I really like Mima! I just can´t comprehend the hype about her.
