This character is the most complex to write. The Mirror is usually the best friend of the Gravity or the rival of the Spark. She doesn't express love loudly. Instead, she reflects the needs of the group. She is often the skeptic who says, "This is weird, we shouldn't do this," only to realize she is the most committed of all.
