✔/ Loyal - Earnest - Dependable - Determined - Strong - Serious
X/Impulsive - Stern - Aggressive - Cold - Mischevious - Paranoid
Former assassin, current political leader. Myra is married to a goofy cowboy who often acts as her counterbalance. Serious, stern, and commanding- she's not someone to be trifled with and will quickly shut down anyone who threatens her family. Though bearing sharp thorns, she does have a good heart and absolutely gives her everything to protect the people in her charge and her own blood, and once you've gained her loyalty; she'll never betray you or let you down.
Being a mongrel, and a woman (Both highly discriminated against within her environment), she had a hard time in her road to becoming a respected head of her countries military, but she's made many changes for the good to change their future.
She tends to be rather reckless and self-endangering at times. She's calmed down in her later years for her children's sake and is a very devoted and loving mother.
Reserved - Secretive - Strong-willed - Slow to trust - Experienced - Natural Leader - Fighter - Protective
Quiet, reserved and a bit putoffish. She grew up in a rough home life and it very strongly reflects on her personality. She has trust issues and finds it very hard to adjust to new people. Next in line for the leadership role because of her father's position as leader, she was a disgrace to him from the moment she was born. A woman leader was unheard of, and a mongrel one even less so. Both were seen as lower class. Women served as maids, Mongrels as homeless and slaves. She was not supposed to exist and her father did everything in his power to attempt to mentally ruin her so she'd never get an idea of taking his leadership from him. What he didn't count on was his own strong will and stubborn bullheadedness returning to bite him in the rear end. It hurt Myra sure- and left her with lasting scars and much bafflement later down the road. She was left unable to function in most social settings because she simply didn't know how to. Not until Ronny, of course. But inevitably, she'd reach a breaking point and take control of her own life once she'd had enough.
She is willful, stubborn, and often very temperamental, though her fathers training has led her to hide most of her emotions to avoid revealing how she's really feeling. She cannot-however,hide them from Ronny, and at some point stopped trying to. She has a deathly fear of thunder, or losing Ronny,but other than that she's quite fearless, dangerously so. She has mellowed since becoming a mother for her children's sake, but she is still quick to take matters into her own hands. She puts on a strong front..but will generally do whatever is most important for the greater good. She isn't the smartest- she can be oblivious to important details and get easily distracted , but usually can come up with a solution-sometimes an entirely nontraditional one-given a little time to think.
She generally will only trust Ronny above all others, and she is especially unwelcoming towards strangers unless they give her a good reason to respect them. The easiest way to garner her respect is through actions, as she puts very little faith in words but a good action made is a good action given in Myra's standards.
She does suffer from on and off depressive states, and mental trauma from her youth that rears its ugly head. Ronny has helped her greatly to improve her condition and move past such anxieties but certain places, noises, and phrases can trigger her into a panic. Usually she'll run and hide somewhere. When truly upset she tends to shut herself off from the world for days at a time. She is strong willed,however,and always pushes past it to try and reflect on what upset her and how she can better herself to prevent such mental upset again. As a political leader she is often thrown in the spotlight to make important decisions for her people and neighboring districts and countries, but she manages to keep calm under this pressure, as she was trained well to handle stress. At least-on the surface. Once out of the forefront she tends to overthink, debate and curse her decisions for hours before coming to a solution she can accept. Her anger is a problem, and she is aware of her nasty temper. She sees it as a terrible remnant of her father's own fury. She tries to control it, and over time she's become more adept at pushing it down because afterward it always leaves her feeling disgusted with herself. But changing herself to a more relaxed person doesn't happen overnight, and Ronny still finds himself calming her with a pet on the ear or soft reminder to ease her anger. She's seen what her father's rage did to her in her youth...she refuses to let her anger scar her own children in the same way.
Her ability to control metal is not unique, many people have this ability in her world. She simply is the first in her country to obtain this ability, since their pocket of the world was rather isolated for a long time. Her mental and physical strength is from rigorous training and learning special fighting skills reserved for the leadership to ensure they have an edge against possible threats to their regime. She trains daily with her soldiers, and though the older more experienced ones may near-rival her, she strives to win in every sparring match. Her typical match is her grandfather,Akseli. She's beaten him a few times, but he still wins a majority of the time. One day the student might surpass the master.
Religious/spiritual views
Myra is a harsh denier of magic and gods, despite meeting multiple gods/deities of her world in person. She rejects the idea of worshipping any sort of higher power as she believes strongly that the fate of the people are in their hands and there is no such thing as "blind destiny". She has little care for spiritual rituals, and will respond harshly towards suggestions of magic and "Faith" in a higher being. She does not however, outwardly make efforts to admonish people for their beliefs. She will respect and allow them (Among both her people,and strangers) so long as they do not try and force their beliefs onto her, such pressure will cause her to become agitated and refute their claims.
In her early years she was exposed to the workings of a cult within her people, and as a result any sort of religious gatherings often unsettle or worry her. She will, again- allow them, but will not willingly take part in them, and will only step in if the event has for some reason or another turned dangerous to someone(s) involved.
Love life/relationship with husband
Myra is not a very loving person. Its not to say she can't love, because she certainly can, but it takes a very special sort of someone to ever become more than a friend to her. She is technically bisexual, with a heavy preference towards men as most women tend to spark a rivalry with her rather than a love interest (But theoretically if she were to meet a woman she was interested in she'd have no qualm with it.) She is a very protective, and fiercely loyal partner, as she tends to attach to one person who is extremely important to her and remain with them. She likes the routine and comfort of a steady partner, and has trouble trusting outsiders with any part of her heart or emotions. She's often only really open to her partner because she views them mentally as on the other side of her metal "Wall". She has a tendency to lie or hide things from her partner occasionally in an effort to protect them from truths she thinks them unable to handle.
She is attracted to others who challenge her, but in a way that's more than just talk, they can actually do something to back up their words. It catches her interest to have someone she can rely on to keep her entertained and push her to become a better person. She is attracted to confidence and charisma, and people who are adaptable and resourceful. She likes people who are good with their hands. She is, on the opposite end, heavily turned away from people who are flaky or untrustworthy, cowardly, or too soft and give her no challenge or fight. She would be quickly annoyed with people who are too clumsy or not careful enough. She can also not be in any sort of relationship with someone who attempts to control her. Her partner must be her equal, not view themselves as better or worse than her. If she can push them around, they'll quickly bore her or she'll find them weak. If they try to control her, she will become aggressive and defer to her temper sooner than affection.
She's had two major relationships in her life, one in her early teen years that lasted for a few years before ending in tragedy, and the second being Ronny, her husband/lover of roughly 25 years since. She is unfailingly loyal to him, and meets any attempts at affection from anyone else with aggression, as she views it as a high sign of disrespect.
Ronny is one of very few people she is open with about her thoughts (The others being her uncle, Kapono, and her childhood friend, Norah.) She is most comfortable with Ronny alone.
She is very disdainful towards public displays of affection, and will generally try and keep her affections for Ronny behind closed doors. (Though, she does become a bit more expressive of it/comfortable with it over the years). That doesn't mean that Ronny does- he'll happily hug and coddle her any chance he's given, often embarrassing her in the process.
Myra and her husband share ideals on most important things, and as a result they don't often have bitterness or disagreements. They share most political views, and if their opinions clash they can calmly disagree and talk them out to come up with a solution. (And consult outside sources if needbe for assistance.) They generally don't get into spats very often. If they do, the main source of arguments between them is often Myra's reckless nature and willingness to put herself in harms way, or on rare occasions how to deal with their children when they act out.
As a parent
Myra is a mother to 7, (Six kids she gave birth to with her husband Ronny, and one adopted son). The manner in which she behaves of course varies between children, but overall she is surprisingly more often the "Softer" parent. She has an easier time having meaningful conversations and relating to her children on an emotional level than her husband does. Ronny is the "Funner" parent and often eggs them on into goofing off, but when they cause trouble or reflect badly on their parents, Myra is the more understanding of the two as Ronny can occasionally even hold grudges against his children if they've done something particularly heinous. (That's not to say he ever stops caring for them, but he'll be bitter about it for a while.) Myra has a hard time staying angry with any of her children, and will quickly forgive them so long as they seem to understand the consequences of their actions.
Their job as parents is well balanced, Myra is stern and pushes her children to be their best-urging them to keep working so they'll never forget where they came from and what it means, but she is there for them when they need her to be. She can occasionally be a bit of a pushover to them, and give them what they want even if they don't deserve it. Ronny is the fun parent who will goof off and remind his kids to be kids, but if they abuse the freedom they have he'll quickly turn into the stern parent and remind them of the importance of respect for both their parents,what they have, and others. When the situation calls for one to switch from nice parent to mean parent and the other vice versa- it can occasionally cause the two to butt heads in parenting style but they usually can work it out.
Being a mother has done some work to resolve Myra's bullheaded and reckless nature, in her younger days she'd bicker with Ronny over her own safety and doing what she wants for the greater good. However, her kids provide a strong excuse for her to stay behind so that she can be there to see them grow up and help them through their lives. Ronny often uses it to tie her down when she wants to do something dangerous. Her temper has also waned a bit over the years as she's taught herself to calm down for their sake.
- Her birthday is April 5th.
- If cut off, her tail will eventually grow back. It has some regenerative properties due to her genetics. (She will be very angry about it, though.)
A trained assassin turned political leader, married to a goofy cowboy.
She was trained as an assassin , growing up in a family of soldiers, but deemed worthless for her gender and the traditions of her harsh culture, she was hidden away to avoid being a disgrace to her father's name. Under her father's order she began training in stealth. This acted as a way to ensure she could defend herself, while allowing her father to manipulate her into acting alone and fearing others for fear of being captured and killed. It worked well and left her difficulties in social situations. Despite this, she would never take a life unless absolutely necessary and she's only ever truly assassinated a rare few targets that posed direct threats to her people and family, or she viewed it as "for a greater good" such as ending long drawn-out wars or stopping further loss of life of her own people. She prefers to capture or contain foes when possible. Her mother left when she was young, and thus Myra presumed her dead. She escaped from her father's harsh grip, when she was sent to murder her uncle. She decided against it and instead turned against her father and stood at her uncle's side.
In the time period in which she lives, the average lifespan is around 200. She is still quite young.
She met Ronny by mistake, when she was captured in her efforts to kill her uncle, Ronny was a member of his group,recently heartbroken he didn't mind the company of the newly-deemed prisoner being dumped in his workshop. Even if Myra wanted nothing to do with him at first. Despite her efforts, she couldn't help but warm up to the goofy cowboy with his weird hat and stupid grin.
As they spent more time together and she slowly became more confident in herself and her abilities as a leader, she fell more and more for him. She became a political leader through her skill, and Ronny became her lover- and the 'public face' she wasn't as capable of being. It remains that way, Myra being the strategist and the threat of justice, and Ronny being the people person...that keeps her from staring down anyone who gets on her nerves and barking threats at everyone.
Myra is regarded as the leader who changed the fate of her people, after her father's tyrannical dictatorship. She was the woman to prove women deserved respect among her peoples politics, and mongrels had a place among them. There are many oppositions among the elder generation, but she helped to found and promote a generation accepting and more open of the changes she brought to the leadership and political map. She occasionally fails, but has led her people through many struggles and brought them through it, and earned her place of respect through many hardships. She tends to butt heads with other political powers, because of her very headstrong nature, but in the end she just wants to see her people and family make it through. They've come too far to fall now.
With her skills in strategy, and her husband's charisma, they make a formidable pair of representatives for their people.
- Her family
- Hiding/feeling safe
- Ear scratches
- Fighting/sparring
- Water and boats
- Cats
- Thunder/storms/other loud sounds
- Her family being threatened
Myra's beloved husband and partner, She loves him dearly and the two complete each other well. She can almost never be found too far from his side, and she'll fight tooth and nail to protect him if necessary. He's the only one allowed to cart her around and treat her like she's 'cute'. Anyone else will probably get bitten.
Myra's eldest son was adopted as a young child, and she raised him herself before she and Ronny were officially married. The two are very close, and Myra often goes to him to advice since he's a brilliant researcher. In turn, she will quickly rush to his aid if he needs help in a fight. She may not be his birth mother, but she's most certainly still his real mother.
Myra struggles to understand and relate to her oldest (biological) son. He purposely distances himself from the family because of his issues with investing himself in the family responsibilities and difficulties coming to terms with his own identity as it stands apart from his parents. She does care for him and will drop anything if he needs her- but given he's a fisherman and she's terrified of water, they don't really spend enough time together.
Myra's middle child was trouble from the start. As the next heir Rupert was instantly tasked with impressing his parents and his people...and as a troublesome teen- he failed that. Exponentially. He eventually accepted his role in life and who he should try to be, and set about trying to correct his image and be the leader his parents wanted as a young adult. Myra helps him as much as she can in this journey, and though he has a lot of self doubt she's always supportive. (She will not hesitate to jokingly remind him of his annoying teen years and how he "owes" her for her suffering if he wants to be a little jerk though)
One of Myra's first set of twins, and the first spade children, Myra relates well to them on the battlefield. Jeames grew up in his early years apart from his parents (in training), which drove a little of a wedge between them at first, but after his sister, Amelinne tried to start a fight against her brother, Rupert, Jeames moved in with his parents again and they became closer. He's a bit softer than his mother, and Myra sometimes forgets that, but she tries to be understanding and never push him beyond what he's comfortable with as a soldier. She'd never ask more than him to be happy.
Myra has a complicated relationship with her eldest daughter, due most certainly to the fact that Amelinne tried to stage a coup and nearly got her older brother (Rupert) killed in the process. Myra, surprisingly, forgave her quite fast and was willing to accept she'd learned her lesson even when Ronny did not. That does not by any means mean that Myra forgot, or that she trusts her even now. She still eyes her with suspicion, knowing full well she has the capability to be dangerous to their family. She wants to accept her as her daughter, but Myra is no fool.
Alex is definitely a daddy's girl, though Myra has a solid enough relationship with her. She taught her to make small crafts and taught her as a medic after she herself learned from Kapono. Alex has a bit too much energy for Myra's tastes, and she would rather let her run her siblings ragged first if given the option.
Sam, unlike her twin Alex, is much more calm and relaxed, and also much closer to her mother than her twin is. Myra and Sam bond over reading and sharing books, growing up Myra used to read or tell stories to her daughter almost constantly, fostering a love of learning that she carries with her. Myra and Sam can have long deep conversations about most anything, and unlike (some) of her siblings, Sam is a bit more on the responsible side, making it easy for Myra to trust her.
Italma is her father's daughter, and though she can certainly hold her own sparring with her mother, she was born and raised in a workshop and spends most of her days and hours slaving away as a blacksmith to create weapons. Since she's usually in her father's space, Myra doesn't interact with her as much as her husband does, but Myra is surely Italma's favorite to ask to try out her newest creations first.

Kapono is Myra's uncle, and only a few years older than her. They're good friends, and can trust each other with most anything. Even though Myra likes to pick on him at times, you can bet if he or his people are in need she won't hesitate to stand by him without question. Kapono also taught Myra all of her medic skills and was good friends with her husband before she and Ronny met.
