In Lagoa da Italianinha, there is a small segment of the population that, curiously, has adopted a lifestyle of not wearing shoes. Among them is the mayor herself, named Myllena. From a humble family in the rural area, Myllena claims that since she was born, she has never worn shoes. She went to school barefoot, becoming the target of jokes from her classmates, especially when she said that she would one day be mayor of the city.
Years later, Myllena opened a grocery store, entered politics, was elected councilwoman in 2004 and 2008, and vice-mayor on Sandra Valéria's ticket in 2012. She broke with Sandra Valéria and became her biggest adversary. She ran for mayor against her in 2016, but lost. In 2020, she was elected mayor, and in 2024, she was re-elected. Now, she wants to take a bigger step: to be a state representative.
Myllena has two children, Giovanna Victórya, who is the current vice-mayor, and Matheus. Only Matheus follows his mother's habit of going barefoot everywhere. Giovanna, to Myllena's dismay, prefers to wear shoes. Myllena often says:
"Giovanna is my pride, but her flaw is wearing shoes. She didn't get that from me..."
