Milla - Related to Lyna or not?

Milla the Temporal Magician, known as Mira the Eternal Magician as her original (OCG) name, looks pretty similar to Lyna. Mira in japanese word (ミラ) can refer to "ミラー" which reads as "Mira" in katakana, but its actual meaning is "Mirror", which could be a nod to both Lyna/Milla's staff.

Is she related to Lyna? Who you want her to be?

I believe that she is Lyna's older sister. That's what I want her to be.

While we're on Milla though, does anyone else find her expression a little odd? To me it looks like she's confused or something, like she isn't really sure what she's supposed to be doing.

Yeah I'm in the same boat as Dharc. Mainly because it's proven that Wynnda is the older sister of Wynn and Erial is the older sister of Eria, so the parallels line up for me.

I wouldn't call it "confused" so much as "stern", although I can see why you'd think that. To me, since Milla is older (and wiser), she is much more serious and amused by much less than Lyna is, who seems very happy-go-lucky and ditsy at times.

There's no official statement if Erial is related to Eria. What Konami stated about Erial in Master Guide is, she's just an orphan, raised together with Emilia and Avance by Noellia. And she's an expert summoner. Konami doesn't mention her relation to Eria at all.

I agree.
Actually, I find her expression to be graceful and wise at the same time. Very much a contrast compared to Lyna.

But... dammit Kaze, the parallels!...

I don't know, it's just that when I look at her picture (even now while I'm trying to see what you see) her expression doesn't look like one of grace/sophistication/wisdom. It just kind of looks like bewilderment - or a blank stare.

It's possible it's the angle or something like that, but I just can't seem to see it the way you guys are.

You see what you see, we see what we see.
In the end it's just a matter of opinion, nothing wrong with that. Milla's expression here is more of a subjective matter, since you can't actually sure what's going on her. You can think her expression is blank or it makes her looks like she's confused, that's legit. I think her expression is graceful, it's legit. Other people might think that she looks like suffered an anemia and find her expression is weird, or she's like daydreaming something, and that's legit too.

And still others could think that she looks ready to beat somebody up, and that's legit too

It doesn't really help that Milla has absolutely NO canon material attached to her. I mean, she's not represented in any other card arts except for herself, and she's not found in any Master Guides. So it's entirely up to us to determine what her true raison d'etre is, and just as with anything not explained in canon, anything can be fair game.
