Mylie

Mylie is the main protagonist of Overworld. A young girl living just outside of the kingdom Ciris, Mylie grew up living a sheltered life in a tribe in Nozomi Forest. She learned how to fight using the spear and lance, and becomes one of the biggest leaders in the fights against Ciris' dictator Faynu.

Mylie has made appearances outside of the Overworld series, most notably as a central character in the crossover series, UFO. Mylie appeared in the spinoff reality TV competition, UFO: All-Stars Battle, where she finished in sixth place. She also appeared on the first season Project Runway: Virtual, in which she won the competition.

Appearance
Mylie is a dog with orange-and-white fur, a big spot on in the middle of her body, a short tail, blue eyes and a bright green scarf. She also has a dark brown nose, and long orange ears. While she is in Nozomi Forest, Mylie can be seen wearing a flower resembling a blue iris, which represents hope.

Personality
Mylie is described by creator Luke DeRoche as "a rebel with a cause." The blue iris she can be seen wearing represents her hope. Mylie is sassy, good-hearted, effervescent, hopeful, and quick-witted. She often calls out those around her when they act faulty, but does so out of honesty.

Gameplay
Mylie is a forest knight that specializes in spears and lances. Her main advantage is her speed, which allows her to get multiple attacks in quickly. As a trade-off, her defense is relatively weak. Mylie has a very strong air-game, allowing her to move around the battlefield effortlessly, as well as float to the ground. Other than this, her attacks, combos, and ground game are very balanced. She has three special skills: Rear Counter, Bounce, and Advance.

Creation and Development
Mylie was created by Luke DeRoche, based off of his dog of the same name.
