Mimi DeLuca is a character on The CW science fiction series Roswell, New Mexico. She was the mother of Maria DeLuca and she suffered from an unknown mental disorder until her death in Season 4.
Character[]
Mimi is a palm reader and psychic, and her daughter Maria takes after her. It is suggested that she does have some real psychic abilities, such as being able to read auras and having clairvoyant insight into people. With her mental deterioration, she also believes that the events of the movie Independence Day actually occurred. It is occasionally unclear whether what she says is psychic insight, highly developed (but normal human) awareness, or part of her mental deterioration.
History[]
Mimi went to school with Jesse Manes, and she noticed the day that he "learned too much."
When Mimi's mental capacities began to deteriorate, Maria took her to many doctors, but they were unable to diagnosis the problem. Maria took over running the Wild Pony from her mother.
Plot[]
As Mimi's mental capacity continues to deteriorate, Maria finally makes the decision to place Mimi in an assisted living facility.[1]
Mimi regularly leaves the facility, Sunset Mesa Assisted Living, and wanders back to the Wild Pony. The facility gives Maria a call when this happens, and Maria takes her mother back. One night, as Mimi is leaving the facility again and heading toward the Wild Pony, a bright light shines on her from an unseen source, and she doesn't arrive at the Pony as anticipated.[2]
Powers and abilities[]
Powers[]
Mimi is a Human-Oasian Hybrid with paranormal abilities whose specialty seems to be clairvoyance. Mimi is able to gain vast information of the past, present and primarily the future through extrasensory means and even channel it through read auras and palms. Yet because of her degenerative brain disorder, she scrambles the visions she sees.
- Clairvoyance: Inherited from her grandmother, Louise Truman and her mother, Patricia DeLuca, Mimi primarily has the ability to see into the future, witnessing future events, just like her daughter, yet more accurate with visions, as she saw that Rosa was alive again as well as seeing Maria looking at a sign saying "Do you believe" and her to look at the signs in the water as seeing the constellation Pisces, a water sign, allowing Maria to see the bio-weapon that could kill anyone with alien DNA, as she was the only one who was able to see and get rid of it. It is also said that Mimi isn't losing her mind, yet she is able to mentally slip out of her own time and into a different one every once and a while, sometimes Maria's or her mother and even woman in there past and future and even presumably her grandmother, Louise Truman, saying she was able to see Isobel as a baby and the planet, the Oasis.
- Empathic Intuition: Mimi is able to detect Oasian energies which allows her to keep her mind intact in the mindscape and able to keep full retainment of her control, when someone is peering into her memories and even able to kick people out, such as she did with Isobel. She can even read a person's aura to see the specific paths a person can take or has taken in their journey through life, as she did with Alex Manes, saying that his aura was similar to his father's and saying that when she was a teenager, Jesse Manes came to school with the darkest energy around him and she knew when he learned to much. She also seems to have passed this intuition onto her daughter, similar to her daughter, as she could see something was wrong with Liz's aura.
- Genetic Memories: Mimi is able to experience the life-memories from her bloodline, including her mother's, her daughter, Maria's and most likely even her grandmother, Louise Truman.
Quotes[]

- "We aren't meant to touch things from another world, Alex. The other world creeps into us and makes us ugly inside. Don't let it do to you what it did to your father."
