When Katara came back and found Nari gone she knew immediately that she wanted to have a Pikachu on her team again. It wasn't about replacing Nari, and she wrestled with it for a long time, but Pikachu have a special place in her heart because they remind her of Momo.
When she found out about Emolga she decided to get both, thinking as electric types they could probably keep each other company and that Emolga could teach Pichu control that Katara herself couldn't.
Miki and Unalaq immediately grew close, and Katara was glad for her decision. Miki is sort of spoiled, Katara gives her fresh fruit on a fairly regular basis, remembering that another Pichu she used to know really well had a fondness for apples. Miki likes to perch on Katara's shoulder and head for balance, just like Nari did, but... there are one or two things that sets them apart.
For one, Unalaq and Miki are a team of performers. Where Nari was one of Katara's solo heavy hitters Miki and Unalaq work really well in tandem. That goes for in battle and out. Because Unalaq can fly they tend to stay out of one another's way, but even on the ground or in the trees the two have learned to navigate around one another smoothly. Miki doesn't have the same brute strength that Nari did, as her special attack stat suffers as a result of her nature. Instead her defense stat is boosted and she has an emphasis on agility, so while Unalaq deals the damage Nari gets in close, causes a distraction, evades, and then surprises her opponents by still being able to take the damage that they dish out. Most mistake her evasion as a means of avoiding damage, rather than realizing that she's just buying time and keeping them focused on the "weaker" target.
Miki also has a weakness for shiny things- particularly with a reflective surface. Katara suspects that she's trying to make sure she looks good for someone else on the team but hasn't been able to figure out who, yet.
Or maybe she just likes the light or the rainbow colors that the mirror surfaces make at the right angles, who knows.
Miki is also a bit of a tomboy. Her fur is a bit thicker in places, flaring up a bit at the back of her neck and the base of her ears. She hates it when Katara tries to brush it down so Katara tends to leave her be unless it's time to get clean.
