Miis

Wii console characters

Miis are customizable cartoon avatars created on Nintendo gaming systems, first introduced with the Wii console in 2006.

Players design these simplified human figures by adjusting facial features, body type, and clothing, then use them as characters in games or as profile icons.

The name puns on Wii and the pronoun *me*.

I spent an hour making Miis of my whole family.
