IN ENGLISH : Mia of Villers-Hiro (AKA Millare Bourgeon) Born in 1767 as Mia Hirota at Hiroshima in the Sakoku period, she flees from Japon by riding a boat from the Dutch East India Company at Nagasaki, for avoid a forced marriage. For 4 years, she would have no nationality, living in Paris. After having French nationality in 1792, she takes part in the "Plaine" political party that supports moderate ideas of the Révolution, avoiding wars and going back to stability. She flees France because of the Terror and goes to New York. She begins to draw meanwhile being in exile and is known by her artist name, Millard Bourgeon. She supports men/woman equality when going back to France in late 1790's and hates the too-sexist Napoleonic Code from 1804. She travels Europe like Erasmus and dies in 1848 at age 81, supporting the 2nd Republic.

If she has a daughter, Miaelou (maybe) has ancestors !
