Since discovering that her 'muggle' father had been a squib and that she had a whole branch of magical family members she'd never known about, Miya's hands had been full with finding her place in the family tree. It had been far easier to fit into their world than she expected, despite her shy nature, and Miya had spent the last few years flitting around as the Hoshinos needed. She liked to be useful, but Miya was tired of travelling and it was time to go home. She had barely been back to New Zealand since she'd come of age, although had kept up with communication as well as she could.
The radio station had been an accident. Her mother, eccentric witch that she was, had tried to come up with a system for communication based on the muggle telephone so they wouldn't have to send letters back and forth as Miya traveled. It had worked - until Miya discovered that the signal could be picked up on the wireless and received a letter from someone who had enjoyed her descriptions of the unicorns she'd encountered while ostensibly researching wand cores for the family business, and Miya had continued to broadcast.
"You're listening to the Star Field, if you're listening at all. Keep an eye on the horizon. Trouble may be brewing for you, but don't worry! It hasn't noticed you yet! Just be cautious."
She enjoyed talking to the void and waiting to see if it wanted to talk back. Perhaps people were listening, but it didn't bother Miya in the slightest if she was speaking to the silent air. She did not have a set schedule or planned segments, so her radio show was elusive and its content entirely subject to Miya's whims. Once, she had left her microphone on next to the sink and broadcasted the sound of a tap dripping for two hours before she realised, and began rambling about the water quality of local lakes for selkie habitats.
Miya had politely declined the invitation to stay with her aunt Karen upon her return, to avoid being trapped in business discussions, and instead was camped out in a park nearby to the Hoshinos' New Zealand bach. The door of Miya's van was enchanted to open when her family members approached, and she hoped Theodore would visit her when he arrived home for Christmas. It couldn't be easy for him, being sorted into Ravenclaw. Miya frowned as she spun around on her chair, fiddling with dials on the soundboard. She paid enough attention to family gossip to know that his mother wanted a full set of Slytherin children, and that frustrated Miya more than she could express. It seemed unfair, but also wasn't her place to comment. She loved her younger cousins, but they were just kids, and she was determined to be there for them in any way she could when the pressure got too much.
