In Shinto, a miko is a shrine maiden or a supplementary priestess. Miko were once likely seen as a shaman but are understood in modern Japanese culture to be an institutionalized role in daily shrine life, trained to perform tasks, ranging from sacred cleansing to performing the sacred Kagura dance.
The traditional attire of a miko would be a pair of red hakama (long, divided trousers) or a long, red, slightly pleated skirt tied with a bow, a white haori (kimono jacket), and some white or red hair ribbons. In Shintoism, the color white symbolizes purity.

Miko is a vet, who was trying to raise money at the CIBC Theatre, during the Hamilton musical. He didn't talk too much, because he had a small window of time in which to make some money. He sleeps on Lower Wacker when he can't rent a room. He stays warm at night by stuffing newspaper inside his coat and sleeping next to someone.
