Personality[]
Mira is a skilled thief, determined to please Mother and win her favor. However, Mira describes herself as a slow learner who often incurred Mother's wrath, causing Mira to believe that she was worthless and unworthy of her birth mother's love. Although Mira demonstrates compassion in treating her fellows' whip wounds, she deliberately lures Throné to Mother and pursues Throné in revenge after Mother's death, unable to bear the loss of her only parental figure.
Story[]
Mira and her brother were orphaned during their early life. Mira remembers being taken in one rainy night, after which she brought to Mother's Garden: Orphanage to be trained and groomed into a future member of the Blacksnakes.
One day, while out in Wellgrove, Mira discreetly robbed a man for a Wolf Diamond and brought it back to the orphanage, where she offered it to a visiting Mother. Pleased with her performance, Mother inducted Mira into the Blacksnakes and gave her a choker before she was taken further into the garden. There, Mira was tied to a bell, while Mother told her of a fairy tale. Throné, another member of the Blacksnakes, showed up to challenge Mother for her freedom, which ended with Mother defeated and subdued. Throné then freed Mira from her bonds, but despite Mira's pleas to her to spare Mother, Throné killed her and took her key, leaving Mira devastated and seeking revenge.
Mira and the Elderly Guard's Next Chapter[]
Some time later, Mira, having not forgiven Throné for Mother's death and taking her challenge to mind, received word of her whereabouts and set out to find her and take revenge. She made her way into Lostseed, where she found out she was too late, as Throné had done what she needed to do there and left. However, while there, she found out the truth about who her real mother was. After a heart-to-heart with the orphanage's caretaker, who followed her to Lostseed, both decided to return to the orphanage with new purposes in their lives.
