PERSONA INFORMATION
PERSONA NAME, RANK, LOCATION: Miraine, second daughter of Lord Arlen of Ista Sea Hold, Lady Heiress to the Hold
Date Created: Unknown
Date Updated: August 20, 2008
GENDER: female
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: hetero
B'DATE: 03.02.18
CURRENT AGE: 29
PARENTS' NAMES, AGES, RANKS: father, Lord Arlen of Ista, age 64
Mother, Lady Vylanda of Ista, age 48
SIBLINGS: sisters Zea (31), Mariel (26), Kista (24), Tegan (23)- greenrider at Ista Weyr in Aurora's Gold (Queen's) Wing
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: Aunt Rayana, Uncle Gerod, sister Zea, foster son Sefrayan, friend N'dael, son Edrys (7 in turn 33), and a few hold girls
PETS: A gold firelizard named Star, whose egg was a gift from her father. The little gold irritates Vylanda to no end, and Miraine has used that mercilessly against the woman. Star likes swimming and stealing food from the dinner table when important guests are attending. She detests Mariel, Kista, and Vylanda but is friendly with everyone else-including dragons, flits, and dolphins. Star is most often found wrapped around Miraine's wrist, but is sometimes found on her shoulder.
BIRTHPLACE: Ista Sea Hold
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'6", hourglass
HAIR COLOR AND STYLE: Miraine's hair is dark brown, usually up and curled, and very messy. When it is down, it's curly and falls to the middle of her back. She has bangs, which can get a bit wild if she's been outside having a good time.
EYES: dark brown-described by one and all to be "fine"
FACIAL FEATURES: Sunburned nose and cheeks and a small beauty mark above her upper lip on the left side of her face. She is described as handsome or striking, rather than beautiful.
COMPLEXION: Tanned, although it would be fair and rosy if she stayed indoors like a proper lady.
IDENTIFYING MARKS: Various cuts and scrapes on her arms and legs and resulting scars from her rambles through the nearby rainforest.
RIGHT HANDED
DRESS/FAVORITE COLORS: Miraine's dresses are elegant when they're free of dirt, rips, snags, and rents. Her dresses are usually rust, dark gold, or tan colors because earth tones hide dirt better-- although, on special occasions she's been known to show up Zea wearing a deep wine or midnight blue gown.
JEWELRY/WEAPONS: The gold dragon pendant with a topaz chip eye. She also secretly carries a small silver handled knife in her bodice.
GENERAL BACKGROUND: The earliest of Miraine's memories is of her mother telling Zea her responsibilities as a "conditional" heiress. When she asked Vylanda what her responsibilities were, her mother laughed and said, "Why, you have none. Second daughters are of no consequence. Be off with you." Little did the Lady of Ista know that her daughter would take her literally. Since then, Miraine has found the dirtiest, most tomboyish hobbies she possibly could. She is most often found riding runners around at breakneck speeds, hiking through the rainforest, or swimming in skimpy bathing suits with her friends and their fins. She is quite likely the bane of Vylanda's existence, especially since she is obviously Arlen's favorite. She would have been content to do as she pleased forever if her mother hadn't forced her to "come out" at the age of 16. She took Zea's coming out with indifference and barely noticed that event. She viewed her own with disdain and dread. She threatened to sabotage it, but her father convinced her otherwise, as the girls' debuts have always been held at the large Turnover celebration. Plus he wanted her to see that she could be admired, too. Miraine has since taken her occasional outings into the public eye with a better view, and may even learn to enjoy them in the future.
She's always been interested in how her father ran the Hold and is well known for her wit and cleverness among the minor holders and some of the Lord Holders of the Northern Continent. At turn 24 Turnover, it was announced that she was the unconditional Heiress of Ista Sea Hold. Vylanda went into a fit of vapors and didn’t speak to her for several weeks afterward, which Miraine found very refreshing. Most recently she shared a mating flight with N'dael when Saphanie's gold Jezalith went up during a picnic. A pregnancy resulted, and it was kept secret except for her father and older sister. She went to Ista Weyr (and Tegan was brought home to keep the event quiet) where relatively few people would recognize her. The birth of her son Edrys was rather uneventful and as soon as she was able, she returned home and left the baby with his father N'dael.
Miraine had Edrys sent to live with Goldrider Danan of High Reaches, the mother of N’dael’s other child, for safety purposes. Since then, she’s been trying to avoid Darcy, the owner of the ship, The Red Seasnake. He is the younger son of Holder Mahryl of Red Sands Hold, and she can’t stand him. He really can’t stand her either. However, the two have grown closer over time, and Darcy is trying vainly to win her over. She pays him more mind than any other of her suitors, but is afraid of what his prim and proper self will say when she reveals her now 7-turn-old son to him.
PERSONALITY TRAITS: Miraine is a very witty, intelligent girl with an excellent sense of humor. She enjoys reading, riding, and other outdoor activities. She abhors drawing and embroidery and most girls who enjoy them (except Zea). She is confident, self-assured, haughty at times, proud (but not too proud), subtly flirtatious, mildly snobbish to those she dislikes, but friendly with everyone else. She's very easy to talk to and is often sought by hold inhabitants to settle minor disputes due to her fairness and logical solutions. Miraine's a bit naïve, but not as bad as Zea.
