Although Mia Thermopolis appears as an ordinary 15-year-old, in the film The Princess Diaries, Mia has a greater call in life, which is displayed through the cycle of the hero. Mia lives in San Francisco with her artsy single-mother, Helen. At her high school, she is a social outcast along with her two best friends, Lilly and Lilly’s brother, Michael. Her friend group consists of a perfect unity of 3 people. Mia secretly aspires to become popular and to kiss the boy of her dreams, Josh Bryant.
