Mia = Macha ? (probably spoilers).

I'm not sure if this has been addressed before, but . . .
 "AROMATIC GRASS
Aromatic Grass contained the data of Macha, the sixth phase of Morganna. Because Mia was Macha, she instinctively tried to collect the missing data, and was obsessed with Aromatic Grass."

I guess I just don't understand . . . how did all this happen ? What went on with Mia before the game ? The statement 'Because Mia was Macha' is so enigmatic to me.

If anyone can help enlighten me on Mia's story, it'd be greatly appreciated. I don't know if this is common knowledge, or if I just don't know, or what, but I'm curious.

 in .hack//sign, there was a character named Maha, that served Morganna. Maha was an AI and was also the sixth Phase. However, Maha fell in love (or something) with Tsukasa, the main character, and was data drained in order to save him from Morganna. Because of the Data Drain, Maha became Mia.
