02Appearance
Midler's appearance is mostly obscured within the story, however she is described as beautiful. She appears as a woman of average height and build with a plain dress and long hair. Polnareff notes that her face is unbearable to look at since Jotaro broke all of her Stand's teeth.↗↗
Midler received a complete redesign in JoJo's Venture. She is a slim woman of average height wearing an outfit in the minimal style of a belly dancer. Her long hair is held together by a headscarf and five pins with a large star on each sticking out of the headscarf. A gemstone hangs on her forehead in addition to elaborate earrings consisting of several teardrop-shaped gemstones, each ending in one small orb. A veil covers her mouth. She wears a bikini-style bra with star-shaped cups, a fishnet-style band on her right arm, bracelets with frills, a loincloth, and high heels.↗
03Personality
Midler is a ruthless mercenary of DIO who does not hesitate to kill the Joestar Group with High Priestess, both sinking their submarine and attempting to kill them directly with her Stand. She tends to laugh when she injures any of them. She is clever with her Stand, nearly killing both Polnareff and Jotaro.↗↗↗↗
Despite her brutality, Midler is romantic and flirtatious, as she flippantly laments that she has to kill Jotaro, who is her kind of guy. She even seems somewhat touched by Jotaro's lie that he likes her. However, she is easily angered by men who lie about being attracted to her.↗↗
04Abilities
Stand
Midler's Stand is High Priestess, possessing mineral materials in order to form shapes large and complex with which she may attack. Due to its long-range, Midler was capable of using it from ashore, while it attacked the group on the ocean floor.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Background
Midler is a Stand User hired by DIO to kill the Joestar Group on their way to Egypt. Similar to other hired help like Devo the Cursed, she has a notable underground reputation as an assassin, as Muhammad Avdol was not only able to identify her, but also describe her Stand's ability and characteristics. Prior to engaging the crusaders, Midler had High Priestess travel through the water and enter their submarine through a hole in the wall.↗
Stardust Crusaders (1988)
Midler intercepts the group during their passage through the Red Sea. Due to her Stand's extensive reach, she is able to position herself on the African coast as High Priestess invades their underwater submarine just above the coral reef. With the intent of sinking the vessel, Midler punctures a hole through its hull and disguises her Stand as one of the group's coffee mugs.↗↗
Just as the Joestar group attempts to exit the submarine, they discover that Midler had already disguised her Stand as Polnareff 's scuba regulator and begins to attack him. Kakyoin and Joseph use their respective Stands to drag High Priestess out of Polnareff before it's able to do any notable damage. Midler retaliates by transforming her Stand into a harpoon gun, but is unable to follow through as the group had already exited the submarine and closed the hatch.↗
