Milagros Urién, known as Mili, is a main character from the Argentine TV show Chiquititas, which means Tiny Angels. Actress Agustina Cherri played Mili from 1995 to 1997 on TV and on stage. She even won an award for Best Child Performance in 1998. In 2001, Agustina Cherri came back as Mili for the very last season of the show.
In the Brazilian version, Chiquititas Brasil, Mili was played by Fernanda Souza. Her character's name was Milena Pereira. In the Mexican version, Ixchel del Paso played Mili. Later, Giovanna Grigio played Mili in the 2013 Brazilian show Chiquititas.
In all the versions of the story, Mili is an orphan. She lives with other girls in an orphanage called Rincón de Luz (or Raio de Luz in Brazil). Mili is very friendly and loves telling stories. This makes her popular with the other chiquititas, just like Sara Crewe in the book A Little Princess. Mili also wants to find out the truth about her family. Her only clue is a small, golden brooch. It has the words "Volveré" ("I will be back") written on it. Mili truly believes this promise.

Mili's Story
Life at the Orphanage
Mili was the first girl to arrive at the Rincón de Luz orphanage. Over the years, nine more girls joined her. Every night, Mili would tell them exciting stories she made up. The girls were looked after by Ernestina, the strict janitor, and Saverio, the kind chef.
Belén, Saverio's goddaughter, often visited the girls. Emilia managed the orphanage, which was started by Ramiro Morán, an important businessman. After a party went wrong, Ramiro's strict sister, Carmen Morán, wanted to fire Saverio. Mili convinced Ramiro to let Saverio stay.
While visiting the Moráns' big house, Mili met Ramiro's son, Martín, and his sister, Gabriela. Gabriela was very sad and confused because she had supposedly lost her son. Martín was also upset. Mili became a good friend to Martín and Gabriela. Martín helped Mili search for her family, and Belén joined them.
Later, a new girl named Jime came to the orphanage. Jime had a tough past and didn't trust people at first. She didn't get along with the other girls. But Mili was kind to her and they became very close friends. However, their friendship was tested when another girl, Cinthia, made everyone think Jime stole Mili's special brooch.
Carmen's unfair actions led to Emilia being removed as the house manager. Mili tried to get Emilia back, but Emilia left before things could be sorted out. Ramiro then put his girlfriend, Ginette, in charge instead of Carmen.
Mili as a Young Adult
Mili returned to the orphanage as a young adult after her mother passed away. She was shocked to see that the children living there now were unhappy. An ambitious woman named Lidia had taken over the house. Mili started working at a nearby bar, where she met a handsome young man named Ramiro and fell in love.
Mili decided to help the orphans from the inside, remembering Belén's lessons. She joined the orphanage as "Greta," a strict janitor hired by Lidia. Mili soon found out Lidia's real plan. Lidia wanted to send the children back to a terrible child prison called the Hogar de las Sombras.
Mili then told the orphans who she really was, but they didn't believe her. Only Maria recognized Mili from the "Book of Life," which Belén had written. Lidia found out the truth and tied Mili and Ramiro up in the attic. She lied to the orphans about a fun trip.
The children soon realized the van was from the prison and managed to escape. Mili and Ramiro also broke free. The police caught Lidia. However, Lidia revealed she had planted a time bomb in the manor because she wouldn't own it anymore. Everyone rushed out of the house. When Agustín was left behind, Mili bravely went back to save him.
As Lidia watched, thinking the house would be destroyed, Mili declared that nothing could ruin their home as long as the chiquititas stayed together. A bright light appeared in the sky. Everyone watched as Belén magically rebuilt the manor. Mili's old friends from the orphanage, like Sol, Jime, Guille, and Corcho, also appeared. The end of Chiquititas showed that Mili, Ramiro, and the orphans had formed a loving family.
Other Versions of Mili's Story
Chiquititas Brasil
Fernanda Souza played Mili in the Brazilian series. Her story is similar, but with one big difference: Mili meets her father, Miguel. Miguel was hiding inside the manor. He had been in a plane accident that left scars on his face, so he wore a mask. Miguel wanted to find his lost daughter, but he wasn't sure which girl it was.
When Miguel found out Mili was his daughter, he kidnapped her and Carol, taking them on his airplane. Mili saw Miguel fall from the plane but didn't tell anyone. With help from Fernando, Carol managed to land the plane safely.
To hide the truth, Carmen "hired" Marian, a new girl at the orphanage. Marian was very jealous and often lied. She tried to make Mili's life difficult. Once, Marian caused Mili to be hit by a boy on a bike named Luca, which made Mili temporarily blind. Marian also tried to break up Mili and Luca when they started to like each other.
Marian also tried to get close to Gabriela. But then Matilde, the former janitor, returned. Matilde had discovered the truth and told Carol that Mili was actually Gabriela's daughter. Around Christmas, Carol gathered the orphans and told them about Mili's true parents. Mili remembered Miguel and her grandfather José Ricardo, both of whom had sad endings.
Carmen tried to kidnap Mili but failed. Luca, Mosca, Mili's friends, and even Marian (who had changed her ways) rescued her. Mili forgave Marian, saying she wouldn't let anything ruin her happy moment. At the Raio de Luz Christmas party, Mili left Carol and her friends to be with Gabriela and Luca. Carol later kept a photo of Mili, remembering her fondly.
