Personality

Mite is the more smarter of the two henchmen working for Petra Fina Dagmar, though still quite dim-witted. Mite is less abused by Petra then Dino, though still gets the end of her anger at times. Compared to Dino, Mite is also more perceptive, having identified both Orbit and Nascal's abilities upon their first usage. He puts Dino in his place in episode 6 and introduces himself as Petra's "no.1 Assistant"; Dino makes no attempt to challenge Mite over this claim leaving him to introduce himself as her "no.2 assistant".

• Petra Fina Dagmar; Both Dino and Mite were often took the blunt of any of Petra's rage against Flint, but of the two, Mite receives slightly less of her fury. Despite how she treated them, he was fiercely loyal to Petra and would do anything for her
• Dark Lord; While Petra always feel for the Dark Lord's messages he sent Petra, neither Mite nor Dino were fooled by his false proposals of love. Thus when he betrayed Petra, both of them were not surprised by this. Both the two henchmen are quite cynical at times and questioned the motives of their boss, the Dark Lord and others.
