St. Miator Girls' Academy (聖ミアトル女学園 Sei Miatoru Jogakuen?) is one of three schools that rest on top of Astraea Hill. It is the oldest of the three.
Description[]
St. Miator's Girls' Academy, the oldest of the three schools which has a history of over 100 years, is known for upholding old traditions.
History[]
It was founded on a monastery and is seen as the school for "brides", reinforced by the existence of extracurricular classes including tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and Japanese dancing. It is not unusual for students to be engaged before graduation. The school uniform is a long black dress, designed in Gothic Lolita fashion. At Miator, the class names are associated with objects from nature, such as moon (月, Tsuki), flower (花, Hana) and snow (雪, Yuki). In the Strawberry Dorms, there is a concept called the room temp system for students from Miator. Every underclassman entering the dormitories, if they are chosen to serve the upperclassman as room temps, perform maid duties, which include cleaning the room of the students they are assigned to serve.
Plot[]
Nagisa Aoi is the main character of the story. She is a cheerful girl who finds pleasure in making new friends, which she finds easy to do because of her open personality and sociable attitude. The first person she meets at Miator is Shizuma Hanazono, a mysterious upperclassman and the Etoile as the story begins, which gives Miator significant influence. Nagisa at first finds that she is strangely affected when in the presence of Shizuma, who in turn is extremely interested in Nagisa in both the manga and the anime. The next girl she meets is Tamao Suzumi, who becomes her close friend and roommate. Tamao is well regarded among her fellow Miator students; among the first-years, she is seen as a viable Etoile candidate. She expresses some light and playful interest in Nagisa, but it is much less overt than Shizuma's interest and is very downplayed in the manga. The last main character from Miator is Chiyo Tsukidate, a timid first-year student who is employed as the room temp for Nagisa and Tamao; in the anime, she deeply admires Nagisa.
