Mia Jones (Degrassi: The Next Generation) - Season 6

Season 6

At the start of season 6, Mia is introduced as a sophomore student new to Degrassi, formerly a student of Degrassi's rival school Lakehurst. She wants to join the Spirit Squad, but captains Manny and Darcy discover that she has a 2-year old-daughter - after which Darcy works to discourage Mia from joining because she is strongly opposed to premarital sex and teen parents. Even after Manny stands up for Mia, Darcy is able to keep Mia off of the team.

Later at a basketball game, a Lakehurst spectator named Nic Milton Crompton insults and humiliates Mia in front of the school, which then starts the first of many conflicts between Lakehurst and Degrassi students. It is later revealed that Nic is Mia's ex-boyfriend and was jealous of J.T., who had shown interest in Mia.

After J.T. scores a job working on a children's television show, he learns that Mia's daughter Isabella is a fan of his. To become better acquainted with Mia, J.T. invites the mother and daughter to a taping of the show. Mia makes an attempt at asking J.T. out, and after some deliberation, he gives in. During their date, J.T. learns of the involvement Mia has with Lakehurst, which later becomes a large storyline to the series. J.T. and Mia eventually become a couple.

At Liberty's birthday party, J.T., her then boyfriend, dies after being stabbed by a Lakehurst student in the back. Mia, who was out of town during the incident, is devastated by the news and requests a tape of J.T. and Isabella to be played at his memorial. Toby later reveals to Mia that on the night of the stabbing, J.T. had admitted to Toby that he was still in love with ex-girlfriend Liberty.

Mia, heart-broken during the moment, eventually admits that she somehow always knew, but just didn't want to believe it. She then proceeds to help Toby and Liberty go through J.T.'s belongings in his locker.
