Name: Mir (pronounced MEER)
Home Hold: Doesn’t have one anymore but is currently stranded at Port Hope.
Rank: Junior navigator and intel officer for the Chasing Dawn
Age: 17
Fire-lizards: a tiny and adorable green flit named Bingus
Other Animal Companions: N/A
Appearance:
Mir is tall at 5’9”, her body is thin but she has the appearance of some decent curves. Under her curves however there is some serious muscle. She usually keeps her ink black hair in a short bob with one side shaved short so it’s out of her way. Mir has dark emerald green eyes, a gold ring in her left eyebrow and a strong yet feminine face and is all together very pretty. Which she definitely uses to her advantage. Mir is usually found wearing practical clothing in whatever color is available. She does have a taste for finer things though and quite enjoys what nice clothing she can get her hands on. Her boots are very high quality albeit practical looking and her knife is well made although it is hidden in an old and damaged sheath.
Mir has many scars that appear to be knife wounds. Mostly on her arms and torso. Due to this she usually likes to wear long sleeves.
Personality:
Mir appears to be a cheerful and likable young woman. She is good at reading people, understanding people, and getting people to like her and can be manipulative when she wants to be. However Mir is generally pretty laid back but loves to tease and joke. Especially Fiadh. Fiadh is very fun to tease in her opinion. Mir is strong willed and opinionated. She is optimistic but with a healthy side of cynicism.
Mir is very good at getting, handling, and keeping information and has an incredibly good memory. She knows a lot of things she probably shouldn’t and is very tight lipped about what she does know to most. Mir prefers to not talk about her past.
Mir tends to have “sticky fingers” as she calls it and is an effective pick pocket and thief.
History:
Growing up Mir was well loved by both parents and sometime as a toddler she accidentally impressed a green flit who she named Bingus.
Her parents believed a good education was important for their daughter. It wasn’t until she was older that Mir realized that things like poisons, how to fight, how to navigate by the stars, how to stealthily listen in on other people’s conversations and other such things were not normal things for a girl to learn. Or anyone really. She did learn normal things like reading, writing, mathematics, first aid, etc. But that took second place.
Unbeknownst to her for many years, Mir’s parents are decently highly ranked members of the infamous criminal organization dubbed The Syndicate. Her mother a highly trained assassin and her father dealing in information and secrets. They raised their daughter not just to survive in their world but to thrive there, and it shows. Her father introduced her to some of his contacts and her mother taught her how to wield weapons of all sorts, particularly small and easy to hide things.
Mir earned her first real blade at 8, a small knife the length of her palm, it was well made and she keeps it in her boot to this day. She earned her current short sword four years later at 12 and has proved to be quite adept with it.
When the leaders of the Syndicate were caught and the organization disbanded when she was 15 her parents were forced to separate and go deeper into hiding. After a tearful goodbye Mir went with her father to a port however they were quickly separated and Mir was forced to find her own way.
Mir quickly made friends with the shiprat Fiadh and was accepted into the crew of the Chasing Dawn as their navigator and has served the crew by collecting information and navigating the ship. However, she and Fiadh seemingly got left behind when the ship left Port Hope which is not a new occurrence. Rather an opportunity for her to collect information on shipping.
Family Connections:
Amira (mother, assassin, location and status unknown, known as Blackwing)
Danin (father, information dealer, location and status unknown, known as Shade or Fractal Rose)
Bingus
Age: somewhere between 12 and 15
Appearance: Bingus is tiny, about three quarters the size of an average firelizard. She has large wings and eyes and looks very much like she is a baby. She is a soft petal green with white streaks along her body and pale yellow veining on her wings.
Personality:
Bingus is a smart little flit and is trained to many tasks and commands. One of which is to be an adorable distraction to attract attention away from her mistress which comes in useful quite often.
