Antagonist

Character Role Analysis

Synesthesia

More than anything else, Mia doesn't want to be labeled a freak. It's too bad for her that third graders aren't the most understanding kids on the block because she figures out she's different than everyone else when she has to do a math problem in front of her class. Yet it's not the people themselves who are against her, but Mia's fear of being the one who doesn't belong. Mia spends a lot of time hiding her secret because she's afraid of what will happen if everyone figures out she's different than them.
