Mia's Magical World: Centopia
The story of Mia and Me begins with a 12-year-old girl named Mia. After her parents pass away, she receives a special gift from her father: a big, magical book called The Legend of Centopia.
This book has secret writing and a password. When Mia reads the password backward, she can travel to a wonderful, magical world called Centopia!
Meeting Mythical Creatures
Centopia is full of amazing creatures from myths and legends. You'll find:
When Mia enters Centopia, something incredible happens. She changes into a winged elf! As an elf, Mia has a unique power: she can talk to unicorns.
She quickly makes new friends in Centopia:
- Lyria: A kind unicorn who later has a winged son named Onchao.
- Yuko: A brave girl warrior. She sometimes feels a little jealous of the attention Mia gets from Prince Mo.
- Phuddle: A funny pan who often gets into silly situations.
Adventures in Centopia
Mia's journey in Centopia is full of exciting quests and challenges. She and her friends must work together to protect this magical world.
Season One: The Trumptus and Queen Panthea
In the first season, Mia and her friends get help from clues in the magic book. Their main goal is to find all the pieces of the trumptus. This is a special magic horn made by Phuddle.
The evil Queen Panthea and her army of munculus creatures have broken the trumptus into twenty pieces and scattered them. The trumptus is the only thing that can defeat evil beings.
Queen Panthea is obsessed with staying young. She wears a mask because she's worried about her aging face. She wants to capture unicorns because their horns have special powers that can make her young again. Every time a unicorn horn is destroyed, parts of Centopia start to die.
The only cure for this destruction is a powerful "golden unicorn" named Onchao. He can make the desert bloom again and even restore other unicorns' horns. Mia and her friends bravely fight Panthea and her army. They finally defeat them with a blast from the trumptus! Only General Gargona, Panthea's helper, escapes.
After their big victory, Mia reaches the end of the book's story. She returns to her own world as the school year ends, planning to visit Centopia again after her summer break.
Season Two: New Friends and New Dangers
In the second season, Mia spends her summer holiday at her grandpa's farm. There, she meets a farm worker named Mario. Mario soon discovers Mia's amazing secret: she can travel to Centopia!
Back in Centopia, a new hunter named Rixel arrives. He is determined to catch Onchao, the golden unicorn.
Later in the season, Mia's school bully, Violetta, finds a piece of Mia's magical bracelet. This leads Violetta to discover Mia's secret! Violetta travels to Centopia and becomes an elf named Varia. As Varia, Violetta starts to change. She becomes one of Mia's friends and allies. We also learn that her family life is complicated because of her mother.
Season Three: Drakon and a New Friend
In the third season, Gargona is back! She teams up with a bug-like villain named Dax. They are trying to get a unicorn horn to bring their powerful master, Drakon, back to life.
In the real world, a blind girl named Sara finds Mia's bracelet. She also travels to Centopia! Sara is so happy because in Centopia, she can see perfectly. She even has a special power to see the invisible spy bugs that follow Dax.
In the final episode of the season, Dax and Gargona manage to take Onchao's horn. Mia and her friends rush to the castle where the villains are talking to Drakon. Yuko and Mo bravely stop their plan by breaking the horn into pieces. Luckily, Kyara, who is Onchao's new sister, heals Onchao's horn. Dax leaves Centopia, but Gargona stays.
Back in the real world, Sara decides to go back to her old school instead of moving to a new one.
