Ryan Samuels
"No... I can't."

- Mika to Carol about killing her father.

Mika and Ryan seemed to have a close relationship. He was first seen with them during storytime in "30 Days Without An Accident". When Lizzie and Mika found out Ryan got bit during "Infected", they cried and didn't know what to do. Carol tried to calm them down and told them to wait outside if they wanted to, but they decided to stay inside. Carol was about to stab Ryan in the head, but Lizzie stopped her. She said they had to do it. Mika backed away, saying she can't. Carol finally killed Ryan, resulting in the sisters starting to cry again.

Lizzie Samuels
"She's messed up, she's not weak."

- Mika to Carol about her sister.

Mika and Lizzie had a close sister-relationship. When their father got bit, Mika comforted Lizzie and tried to calm her down. She counted to two with her when Carol was about to kill their father in mercy. She does seem intolerant with her sister' somewhat erratic behavior, calling her 'stupid' when Lizzie got upset over the walker she had named being killed. Mika is shown to have some respect for her sister however, as she followed Lizzie's lead and proceded to join the fight against the governor's militia instead of fleeing to the bus.

Carol Peletier
Before Carol killed Ryan, she agreed to raise Lizzie and Mika. While Carol was seen spending less time with Mika than she did with Lizzie, this was due to many factors (Lizzie's illness, Lizzie freezing up at killing her father) beyond her relationship with Mika. Carol seemed to care deeply about both girls.

Patrick
"You coming to storytime today?"

- Mika to Patrick.

Mika is seen having a casual and friendly relationship with a young teenager, Patrick, asking him to join in storytime with the other community children.

Luke
Mika and Luke seem to have a casual and friendly relationship, as they are mostly seen playing together. She is seen with Luke in 30 Days Without An Accident near the fence looking upon the zombies. Mika and Luke are also seen together when Carol was teaching them about using knifes. Mika and Luke also work together to flee to the prison bus and escape the prison during the governor's attack.

Mika and Molly seem to have a casual and friendly relationship, as they are mostly seen playing together. She is seen with Molly in 30 Days Without An Accident near the fence looking upon the zombies. Mika and Molly are also seen together while Carol was teaching them about using knifes. Mika and Molly also work together to carry Judith's baby carrier and escape the prison during the governor's attack.
