 Characters of Megatokyo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piro is the protagonist, and an author surrogate of Gallagher.
She is drawn to resemble a gosurori (a Japanese synthesis of Goth and subculture), and is often described as "darkly cute"; Gallagher has described her as a perkygoth in the past, though most would hardly describe Miho as being in any way "perky."
