As her twin, Mimmy is practically a mirror of Hello Kitty in every way except for the color of her clothing; Mimmy wears a yellow bow on her right ear while Kitty wears a red bow on her left ear. Her overalls are usually orange or yellow insteadof blue but share a yellow shirt, though sometimes they can be different colors. Mimmy is also portrayedas mouthless like her older twin sister (except for most animated series such as Hello Kitty's Paradise where she does have a visible mouth).
Like Hello Kitty, Mimmy has many different outfits, though she typically wears a dungaree. To differentiate her even further from Kitty, the creators give Mimmy give Mimmy a differently colored outfit from the ones her sister wears.

Although a happy friendly girl just like Kitty, Mimmy seems to have a slightly shyer, but more polite and thoughtful personality than her sister does, and they seem to highly enjoy each other's company. Anyone would describe her as shy and very girly. Mimmy's hobbies include sewing and dreaming of marriage.
