A Mii is a user-created avatar used in many Nintendo games since their introduction on the Wii system. They are generated through facial assets picked and arranged by the player, with some later systems allowing them to be generated through a photograph. These Miis are often used as the player's character in which ever game they are picked for, and are encouraged to be caricatures of the players themselves. Despite this, there are games that largely focus on them and allow them to express themselves without player input, most notably Tomodachi Life, Miitopia, and the Wii branded games.
In the Pikmin series
Unlike most games released during the time, Miis make no appearance in Pikmin 3, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, or Hey! Pikmin.
Miis make their debut in the series in Pikmin Bloom. The player can create these Miis in the app or link a Mii from their MyNintendo accounts, and then dress them in a selection of outfits.
They play a similar to the leaders in the previous games. The Pikmin follow them, control the whistle, sent them on expeditions, and plant flowers as you walk. When observing the Pikmin squad, the camera changes to the Miis perspective.
Like most games Miis are featured in, they simple serve as the player's avatar and do not act on their own or speak. Because of this, it's implied these are actually the player's actions expressed through the Mii and not the Mii themselves.
