Biography

Pre Karate Kid

Ali Mills was born in Encino Hills on September 3, 1968. She was born into riches and luxury.

In 1983, when Johnny Lawrence and his friends are watching a movie, his friend Dutch bothers a few girls in front of them, throwing Milk Duds at them, Ali being one of the girls. Ali, sick of Dutch's treatment, stands up and angrily dumps popcorn down his shirt and getting butter all over him. Johnny instantly falls for her. After flirting with her a few times Ali agrees to go out with Johnny, and they kiss on their first date on a Ferris wheel at Golf N' Stuff. The two date for two years, but their relationship ends the summer before the events of the original Karate Kid. Johnny tells his top student Miguel that they got into a fight the summer before his senior year and broke up as a result, and tells his Cobra Kai friends that she dumped him when he forgot her birthday because he was too drunk from hanging out with them. This was what caused Ali to think that whatever good qualities Johnny had didn't outweigh his bad and that he was simply a lost cause.

The Karate Kid

Ali takes an instant liking to Daniel LaRusso, much to her ex-boyfriend Johnny Lawrence's dismay. Johnny tries to fix their relationship, but Ali tells him to leave her alone which angers him. When Daniel tries out for soccer, she shows him what she knows before practicing with the cheerleading squad, though watching with concern after Daniel is expelled from tryouts. She and Daniel eventually begin dating, and later attends the All Valley tournament to root for Daniel, and is excited when he wins.

The Karate Kid Part II

According to Daniel, Ali wrecked his car and left him for a football player at UCLA right after the senior prom.

Cobra Kai

Season 1

She appears in a few flashbacks. When Johnny is drunk driving and reminiscing about her and his Cobra Kai friends, he smiles when he thinks about her, showing he thinks of her fondly even 30 years after their breakup. Later, Johnny tells Miguel about his first meeting and relationship with Ali and how Daniel "stole" her from him. Daniel later tells Johnny she is married and living in Denver working as a pediatric surgeon, according to her Facebook profile.

Season 2

When Daniel's daughter Sam is upset over her breakup with Miguel, her father tries to make her feel better by talking to her about some of the girls he dated, with Ali being one of them. When Sam asks why that relationship ended, Daniel refused to disclose why, instead quickly changing the subject to his relationship with Kumiko.

At a bar, Johnny's former Cobra Kai friends talk about the time Dutch broke a dartboard and how Johnny got drunk that night, causing him to miss Ali's birthday, resulting in her dumping him. Tommy, being supportive, told Johnny that was "her loss", which Johnny does not exactly agree with, considering Ali became a doctor and that she married another doctor, while his own life had gone downhill. He kept the feeling to himself though, considering Tommy's condition. When Johnny and Tommy are talking in the woods the night before the latter's passing, Tommy tells him that he had a crush on Ali in his younger days and joined Cobra Kai in order to develop the courage to ask her out. However, he never did so, as Ali was dating Johnny, and he refused to let a woman come between him and a fellow Cobra. Johnny laughed it off, saying he had a lot of women in his life, but Ali was "the one that got away".

After getting turned off by various women he met via an online dating app, Johnny gets on Facebook and searches for Ali. When he finds her, he contemplates a direct message for her about catching up. Despite ultimately not wanting to send the message, not wanting to look desperate, a woman at the bar he is sitting at bumps into him and causes him to accidentally press the send button.

After Miguel's accident and John Kreese taking back Cobra Kai, a distraught Johnny throws away his smartphone at the beach, not noticing that Ali Mills sent him a friend request on Facebook.

Season 3

Ali messages Johnny back and they converse for a while on Facebook Messenger. Ali travels Los Angeles for the holidays, and the two meet up.

They relive their old date at Golf N’ Stuff, where Ali reveals that she divorced her husband. Johnny and Ali nearly share a kiss but are cut short when Ali's phone rings and she remembers she has to go to a Christmas party at the Encino Oaks Country Club, with her parents.

She brings Johnny along as her guest and, while there, the two run into Daniel and his wife Amanda. While things tense up between Daniel and Johnny, Amanda and Ali begin talking, and the tension is alleviated. At the end of the night, when Johnny leaves, Ali walks him out and asks him about Carmen, to which Johnny tells her how he feels, which Ali encourages. As Johnny leaves, Ali goes back into the country club to meet with her parents.

Appearance

In The Karate Kid, Ali has hazel eyes and curly blonde hair with bangs and a pretty smile.

Personality

Ali cares a lot for Daniel, and is very supportive of him at the tournament. However, she most likely did not care too much for their relationship, as she left him for a UCLA football player after wrecking his car (according to Daniel).

After meeting Johnny and Daniel over 3 decades later, she is shown to be very nice and friendly to them, and she even gets the two to get along and understand that they have more in common than they want to believe. She also encourages Johnny to tell Carmen how he really feels.

At times, she seems to get touchy and defensive if she or someone she cares about is antagonized. For instance, she got angry and vocal towards Johnny when he beat up Daniel at the beach, as well as when Johnny forced a kiss on her at the country club without her consent.
