Bio: For all extensive purposes, Mira was basically your average run-of-the-mill teenager.

It’d been only 4 months since her high-school graduation, and already she was feeling the weight of her mom’s encouragements weighing down on her. After all, attending the University of Yorkshire in London was all her mom and her talked about since she was a freshman. She studied hard; got good grades, worked a part-time job after school and applied for every available scholarship… All that remained was getting accepted.

But one night, on her way home from her job at the local convenience store, she was blindsided by a stranger; a hooded figure who tried to steal a necklace from her chest. Unwilling to part with the precious family heirloom left to her by her late father, Mira fought back and tried to run, but the stranger was too strong and easily over-powered her. Mira thought she was done for and braced for whatever was to come – but she never could have prepared herself for what happened next.

A massive, ominous creature that glowed of green slammed into the earth blowing the stranger back. Panicked, and in shock she looked up to see a dark, boney creature looming over her body that now hugged the pavement. She thought for sure this nightmarish scenario was the end for her…but then, as the creature lowered its head and released an menacing growl to the hooded fiend, she realized that the mighty beast was not going to kill her – but instead - that it was protecting her.

Its fiery green eyes fixated on hers – and suddenly a voice in her mind that was not her own spoke.

“At last – Chosen One – I have found you.”

Quotes:

"Awww – what’s the matter big boy? Necromancer got your tongue?"

"Seriously, do I have the word ‘GULLIBLE’ written on my forehead?!"

"Hey – tall, dark and undead; in order to insult me, I must first value your opinion. Nice try though.”

"I’m really sorry I hurt your feelings when I called you stupid…I mean, I thought you already knew."

"For someone who doesn’t have any skin or organs, you’ve somehow managed to have a heart.”

“Other people see darkness where I see light; and to me, you’re the sunshine that makes my day."

------

So...there it is ladies and gents – the three main characters to my story That I’m seriously still trying to figure out a title for… If you have any questions about the characters or would just like to know more – please don’t hesitate to ask. I’d be more than happy to explain.

**UPDATE: 3.29.2018**
Just thought I should add this info to give you better understanding about Mira’s Amulet.
The amulet that Mira wears is a sacred relic that has been passed down in her family to the first born of the eldest child with every new generation. However, for Mira it means far more to her than being just an heirloom – it, along with a pair of old army boots were the last gifts she’d ever receive from her father before he was deployed overseas and killed by an IED.
The amulet, known also as ‘Crista Virtutibus’ or ‘Virtues Crest’ signifies the 7 Virtues of man - the 7 pillars upon which the bearer must stand to truly unlock their full potential:
Prudence – To find the good in every situation and choose to follow though sincerely and with resolve.
Justice – To give both the higher power you believe in as well as those around you everything they deserve.
Fortitude - To find the strength to resist temptation, to overcome obstacles and conquer fears.
Temperance - To find balance in the use of created things, and to use them in moderation and only for good.
Hope - To desire for a place among higher beings, and placing your trust in deities deemed worthy.
Charity - To love your savior, whomever they’d be above all other things, and a neighbor as ourselves.
And the very core, Faith - To not only believe in a higher power and the teachings that follow, but to have faith in the goodness of your fellow man. To believe not in yourself – but in those who believe in you.
All 7 named virtues – along with an ancient, mystical force lend their power to the bearer and allow him or her to manifest an ancient sword. The sword – a truly mysterious instrument capable of both spectacular creation as well as devastating destruction - takes on the appearance of whatever the bearer pictures it to be - baring that it maintains some similarities to the amulet. Thus it can take on several million different kinds of variations.
(But - considering the bearer – Mira - pals around with an un-dead dragon, it's only natural that it takes on a more, eerie appearance. )
It's also known as 'The Sage's Sword', 'The Magia Blade' or 'Quod Draco cum priuatim confessi est scriptor' (Latin for 'The Dragon's Talon') - depending on which ancient script you're reading from.
