Minnie "Mouse" Honrada is one of the Little Liars and main character in the television series, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin on Max. She is portrayed by Malia Pyles.
The youngest of the Little Liars, Mouse has survived a childhood trauma and spends much of her time in a virtual world.[3] Despite this, she is more than capable of taking on the dark forces of Millwood — including "A".
Mouse's fascination with the website SpookySpaghetti.com introduces her to a new menace, Rose Waters, or "Bloody Rose". This obsession turns deadly when Bloody Rose becomes real, targeting Mouse and her friends and conducting twisted tests to challenge their final girl status. During this time, Mouse's grandmother Lola moves in while her moms are on a cruise. As Lola's mental health declines and Bloody Rose's violence escalates, Mouse relies on her boyfriend Ash for support and struggles through summer school to advance to junior year.
Biography[]
Minnie "Mouse" Honrada was born on June 7th, 2007, as the biological daughter of Aaron Stevens and Elodie Honrada. Prior to her birth, Elodie saw a posting at the women's clinic for an at-home surrogacy request. She needed money, so she accepted the offer made by Aaron Stevens and his wife. They "did it themselves" and not through an agency, which allowed Elodie to change her mind and keep her daughter after the birth. Elodie married Shirley Honrada and they raised their daughter in Millwood, Pennsylvania.
When Mouse was five-years-old, her family attended the Millwood Fall Carnival. While outside the Hall of Mirrors, a man came up to her, offered her cotton candy, and led her away. She wasn't scared until she saw her moms with a security guard. Elodie screamed out for her daughter and the man ran away. Mouse was told he was a stranger who was never caught, when in reality, he was her biological father. The incident makes her isolate herself in the virtual world and lead a sheltered life, though she continued her studies at Millwood High School.
Personality[]
Mouse is very analytical, observant but sometimes hides behind her electronic devices that she feels a kinship and a dependency with the world she creates online. She can be very quiet at times, but also very loud and open about who she is. She is also very eccentric in many ways. She is always calculating, watching, and taking-in the things around her. Mouse has anxiety and can be socially awkward as a result of her sheltered lifestyle. Mouse dealt with a lot of fear and unease after nearly being abducted as a child. Her moms, especially Elodie, became hyper-protective and obsessive over Mouse's whereabouts, which pushed her deeper into an electronic addiction and world. Mouse wanted to put her trauma behind her and worked through those issues with her first boyfriend, Ash Romero, who also helped coax Mouse through her social anxiety. She found friends in the other girls tormented by the mysterious A, which brought her a sense of real world companionship she never had before.
Physical Appearance[]
Mouse is a teenage girl with an oblong face shape, big monolid green eyes, full lips, and long black hair cut into layers. She is an artsy and altruistic teenager which is reflected in her style.
