Mia Cortez

Mia Cortez is the main character of Brothers in Arms: Chaos and Eternal Night, and a survivour of the zombie apocalypse. She is the flawed leader of Mia's Group, and enforces their laws. She may play a cameo role is one of the future Brothers in Arms books.

Mia may have psychopathy.

She is constantly mentored/badgered by her fellow groupmate, Milo Kalua. Mia, after finding and meeting Josh Rolgrum, develops a secret relationhip with him, much to Milo's disapproval.

Eventually, she has a mental breakdown, murdering Milo and Josh in cold blood.

Personality
Although she is somewhat short and slight, Mia is extremely vicious. She enforces her rules with an iron fist, and will not let anybody push her around, save Milo, who does not stop mentoring her. The apocalypse, it seems, has severely pushed her to her limits.

Throughout the short story, Mia shows signs of irrationality, such as chaining up their dead so that they can stay with them, or shooting Father Carlos because she believes that celibacy is useless, even destructive, in the zombie apocalypse. As well, she frequently acts in innappropriate ways, such as when she flashes George. She acts in ways that one could interpret as psychopathy.
