Mira Ilych

Physical Appearance

• Long pink hair usually tied back in a high ponytail with a bow
• Yellow eyes
• Poofy white fur on body, tail also very poofy
• Short in height, somewhat short/average height for her age
• Slim, childish build
• Has humanoid hands with fully articulate fingers, but her feet are digitigrade and more like cat paws

Clothing Style

Mira typically wears a simple dress with a silver belt, either in white or dark green and black (the colors of the Enlightened). She typically wears a matching bow in her hair and matching boots, specially designed for her cat feet. When not out and about the Celarus, Mira prefers to wander her father's office without shoes. She also sometimes wears a small wristband communicator when out and about so she can keep in touch with her father. It also doubles as a taser ray shooter to defend herself.

Personality

Mira is a curious and adventurous young girl who loves learning and asking questions. She has a bubbly personality and has quite a bit of knowledge about technology and advanced machinery from her biological parents, who were an engineer and pilot for spacecraft. Mira is a very bright and critically thinking young girl, but she still has a playful spirit. She likes making friends with other people, but she's not used to having friends in her own age group since she's not in contact with any of them. Since all her friends are older than her, most of them being adults, she can be rather mature and respectful from learning from them, but she still prefers to be fun and whimsical instead. She can speak in an intelligent and mature manner, and she can handle serious and mature topics in a level-headed manner. The event in which her parents were killed and her subsequent rescue from their crashed spacecraft has left her with a great deal of trauma, but she maintains an optimistic outlook and is trying to adjust to her new life with her new adoptive father with a hopeful mindset.

Mira loves her papa, Dmitri, more than anyone, and she worries about how much he overworks himself and stresses to keep his faction running smoothly while also making enough time for her. She is very understanding with her father, though, and doesn't whine about it and just cherishes the time they do have together. She treats General Amando like a fun uncle, Ista like her mama (and she constantly pushes for Dmitri and Ista to get married), and she has a bit of a crush on her father's Direct Subordinate, Rahmue Tasibai. Mira has a habit of calling almost everyone by their first and last name or referring to the generals with their title.

Backstory

Mira originally came from Lylaeterial, with her father a highly renowned spacecraft engineer and her mother a skilled pilot. She became very bright and clever under the care of her brilliant parents. However, the planet she came from was afflicted by war and occupied by brutal enemy forces, and her parents used their skills to aid their community of refugees and rebel fighters. They lived in a hidden refugee settlement where the rebels constructed a spacecraft that would carry their community away from the occupied land and to another planet where they could hopefully find their freedom. 

Unfortunately, enemy forces located their settlement, and they were forced to evacuate everyone using the spacecraft before it was fully completed. Although it was spaceworthy, they had difficulties evading pursuing enemy troops through space. After weeks of travel, their ship came under attack and crash landed in the Eternity after breaking out of warp speed in an attempt to escape. Mira's parents protected her in a personal evacuation pod prototype they specifically designed for her during space travel, and as a result Mira was the only survivor of the crash.

Mira's pod was discovered by Dmitri Ilych, the Major of the D.Z.L. Faction of the Enlightened at the time, and she was rescued from the treacherous bog of Venshirica where the ship had crash-landed. Mira was taken back to the Celarus for examination, and the lab techs decided it was best to keep her on hand since she had much knowledge of Lylaeterian technology despite her age. However, she was only cooperative when around Dmitri, and he eventually decided to adopt her as his daughter. Mira later became much more open and friendly to some of the Enlightened staff, especially with the other Generals and Subordinates that her father worked with.
