"La Bohme" heroine (4)

I believe the answer is:

mimi

(Other definitions for mimi that I've seen before include "Starving character of "La Boheme"" , "Bohemian girl" , "Her tiny hand was frozen (Puccini)" , "'They call me - - ' , (Lucia)" , "Puccini's seamstress" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the LA Times.
