Midler (ミドラー, Midorā) est une antagoniste secondaire figurant dans la troisième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders, dans l'arc narratif "High Priestess".
Midler est la dernière des assassins de DIO que les héros rencontrent avant d'atteindre l'Egypte. Elle est une manieuse de Stand et son High Priestess attaque le groupe alors qu'ils traversent la Mer Rouge dans un sous-marin.
Apparence
On ne voit actuellement pas Midler dans le manga, si ce n'est au plus une figure couchée au loin au visage caché. Elle semble être une jeune femme svelte qui porte une simple robe et des talons-hauts et avec des cheveux longs. Après sa défaite, Polnareff constate qu'elle a le visage fracassé par Star Platinum et qu'elle a perdu toutes ses dents.
Midler reçoit un redesign exclusif au jeu vidéo Heritage for the Future. Elle a l'apparence d'une jeune femme mince et de taille moyenne, habillée comme une danseuse orientale. Elle porte un foulard, un voile transparent couvrant le bas du visage; des bandes aux bras, aux poignets, aux cuisses et aux chevilles. Elle a des talons hauts; un soutien-gorge de style bikini avec des bonnets en forme d'étoile, et un pagne ample à ses hanches. Midler a des cheveux foncés et bouclés enveloppés dans un foulard, décorés avec 5 épingles aux bouts en forme d'étoiles dans ledit foulard/
Dans les images promotionnels du jeu JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Super Famicom, Midler a des cheveux blonds et conserve sa tenue du manga, de couleur bleue.

Personnalité
Midler est présentée comme un assassin mystérieux à la solde de DIO et qui utilise son Stand High Priestess pour assassiner les héros.
Un peu comme Mariah, Midler est un peu agicheuse, flirtant avec Jotaro et disant qu'il est son type de gars et qu'elle regrette d'avoir à le tuer alors qu'ils auraient pu être en couple. Elle trouve cependant DIO encore plus attirant que lui. Le groupe essaie de la persuader de les épargner en la flattant, mais cela ne sert qu'à l'énerver car elle déteste qu'on lui mente.
Pouvoir et Compétences
Stand

History
Stardust Crusaders
Midler is a famous Stand user (as Avdol knew about her) hired by DIO to kill the Joestar group, infiltrating her Stand on Muhammad Avdol's submarine to trap them in a closed space. Taking the form of different things, her Stand continuously attacks and escapes from the group, while Midler taunts them talking through her Stand. Eventually trapping them in her own Stand's mouth, Midler claims that her teeth are harder than diamonds and tries to crush Jotaro with them, but instead has her teeth punched out by Star Platinum. Jean Pierre Polnareff, wanting to take a look at her, goes to her convulsing body but says it isn't worth to look, because of her now toothless face.

Video Games
JoJo RPG (SFC)
The events from HIGH PRIESTESS appear in the game with some alterations, with Midler being a stewardess on the same plane the team is attacked by DEATH 13, and her Stand taking on the shape of the restroom's doorknob.
Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)
Her story mode tells a drastically different tale from her fate in the original manga. She trails Jotaro's group in order to carry out DIO's orders to kill them and successfully wins against them, one by one. After she finally defeats Jotaro himself, she returns to DIO's mansion to report the good news. Cream informs her that DIO needed Joseph or Jotaro's fresh blood, and she is forced to defeat him in order to get past and see DIO. However, when she finally reaches DIO, he reassures her - before declaring that he only needs her blood, as the blood of one more person will enable him to take full control of Jonathan's body. He then asks if she will willingly give him her blood, to which she agrees. In her ending, DIO punctures her neck with his fingers and drains her blood, killing her.
As a playable character, Midler's Stand makes her a great medium-to-long-range fighter. While her normal attacks have a fairly good range, most of her attacks use High Priestess' ability to change into something, such as scissors, razor blades, harpoons, a tractor, cars, and an anvil. Her first super move allows her to transform High Priestess into a harpoon Launcher and shoots several harpoons at the opponent, each one hitting hands and legs, ending with a harpoon in the opponent's head (in the HD version of the game the move got censored, coloring the red blood into white color, however it can be changed in the options). Her second super move transform High Priestess into several cars, making combos on the opponent if hit. Her third super move allows High Priestess to appear on the floor as a giant face, swallowing the opponent and chewing him/her making several hits on the opponent (similar to how she attacked Jotaro and Star Platinum).
Stardust Shooters (Android/iOS)
Despite not appearing in the game herself, Midler's Stand, High Priestess, appears as one of the several Metal Strikers available to choose. Its FINISH move is a regular scratch done on the defeated opponent's Metal Striker.

Trivia
- When Capcom produced Heritage for the Future, they wanted to use Midler. However, as her face was never shown, they asked Araki to redesign her into something like a belly-dancer. Since then, as shown in the JOJO A-GO!GO! artbook, this new look is now her standard appearance.
- Most of the art featured in-game of her is based on Yukako Yamagishi, from character portrait, close-up, and defeat sprites.
- In addition, some of Midler's lines are borrowed from Mariah; the most obvious example is "Unfortunately, you have to die." (残念だけど死んでもらうわ, Zan'nen dakedo shinde morau wa), used for Midler's appearance in the game.
