Biography[]
College Years[]

- ―Ward Meachum to Joy Meachum[src]
When Mika Prada was in college, she was a rival to Joy Meachum and often had sex with her relationships. She had sex with three of Meachum's boyfriends and her favorite teacher. She later got married but lost contact with Joy. She also owned an art gallery containing many of Ernst Erskine's priceless artwork.[1]
Auction Event[]
- "Mika's married. Her husband is a congressman running for reelection. I think she would do just about anything to prevent a scandal. But in order for that to work, we need something scandalous."
"This tactic, it's distasteful."
"But it's a tactic nonetheless. You want this bowl, you gotta ask yourself is your code of honor more important than your purpose? Besides, it's not torture we're talking about here. It's sex." - ―Joy Meachum and Davos[src]
Prada reconnected with Joy Meachum years later and they hit it off. They went back to Meachum's apartment where they drank. However, Prada had a bit too much alcohol and ended up having sex with Meachum's ally, Davos. Unbeknownst to her, Meachum recorded it. She then used it to blackmail Prada into giving her Ernst Erskine's bowl.[1]
Helping Misty Knight[]
- "Thank you for taking the time, Ms. Prada."
"I knew they'd find the bodies someday. What can I help you with?"
"I'm here about a bowl that you procured for Joy Meachum." - ―Misty Knight and Mika Prada[src]
Days later, Prada was confronted by Detective Misty Knight who wanted information on the bowl that she was forced to give Joy Meachum. Prada gladly helped out and told her all of the information and that the bowl was connected to another piece of artwork. She showed Knight a painting containing instructions. However, it was a language from an ancient city in the Himalayas (according to legend). Knight thanked her and Prada hoped she was helpful. if she was, she wanted Knight to tell Meachum how helpful she was.[2]
Personality[]
Amoral, selfish, shallow, and hedonistic, Mika was shown to be a socialite woman defined by her sexual lust and care for fine arts, showing very little care or awareness her old colleague Joy despised her for sleeping with her boyfriends in the past or anything beyond her own pleasure. She was also shown to be unfaithful and duplicitous as she had no problem with cheating on her husband with Davos and only displayed regrets when the act ended in her being blackmailed which would have ruined her marriage and source of wealth from her husband's political career. She also had no problem illegally giving away art pieces under her charge if it meant keeping herself out of trouble. She was also prone to alcoholic drinking, which Joy used to make her vulnerable.
