PCs:Miriel Hana Xilo'rulithii

Public Profile

Appearance

Please note: Miriel does not normally use her maiden name - Hana - since 2006 RL. Please only use it if you have learned it IC-ly. Thank you.

Miriel Hana tel'Suzail, now Xilo'rulithii, is a familiar figure in Visimontium from the early days of the Holy City of Andrinor - the middle of the XXII century after the Age of Peace. She still is very young for an elf, skinny and pale in appearance, keeping her hair cut short in a boyish manner.

Miriel's face is framed in an expresionless mask, her smile is seldom welcoming. Her eyes display hues of ice and steel, sharpened further by her intense stare. The numerous silver piercings on her ears, nose, tongue and chin catch the eye, as well as her ability to disappear for the naked eye around the nearest corner.

The piercing on her chin has made a small and often disturbed wound bed. A blackish gash mars the palm of her right hand. Her once silver hair now is slowly turning white. Despite the general air of exhaustion and weakness about her body, Miriel often surprises the onlookers with lightning fast reflexes, physical versatility and endurance.

Miriel walks the streets of Visimontium wearing the light red and black uniform of a Sentinel and prefers to travel south clad in her Blue Order mage robes. Apart from this formal attire, her wardrobe includes mostly unusual cuts of clothing of her own making. Those who chance to see her bare skin at night can see it reflecting the moonlight like mother-of-pearl. Miriel prefers not to uncover her right shoulder even if wearing a revealing dress - but when she does, the Mark of Andrinor's Trust is clearly seen there. She uses almost exclusively gestures to cast spells, rather than words; Her movements while spellcasting are somewhat restrained - even forced, carried out with painstaking concentration.

As the turn of the century draws close, she is seen wearing the holy periapt of Andrinor openedly, although many remember her in the holy vestments of Vorin. Her voice is a light alto, bearing a soft rasp which becomes a sharp croak in the rare cases when she yells a command or calls a spell. Often she speaks in a melodious semblance of the Drangonari language. Those who can recognise it may also be able to discern her origin, as Miriel visibly differs from most Avlissian elves.

Family and Friends

Aman'dul Xilo'rulithii (Deceased) - Miriel and Amand Xilo spend two decades as husband and wife, from 2163 until Amand's death in 2185.

Aurelinis'liandu Xilo'rulithii and Orostau Nilnoste - Xilo'rulithii - Miriel accepts Amand's brother Aurelinis and his second wife as close family.

Aerill Ailpera and Fealith Anifail - To Miriel, the two are not merely her commanders within the Visimontium Sentinels. She accepts their advice and guidance as if from family elders, and often can be found around them in casual conversation.

Ialath Fentellon - Ialath and Miriel arrive in Visimontium while the city is still being built, as senior mage and apprentice of the Ashen Order of the Stars. Often they speak in one voice, showing unique alikeness of mind, even after their lifepaths take radically different directions. They share "The Retreat", a house in the Academy District of Visimontium - just across "Truely Sweets".

Imoth - Miriel meets Imoth during her first months on Avlis, around the Ashen Order tower in Elysia. Imoth has kept Miriel under her wing ever since, often calling her "dottir". Miriel returns the favour by refering to Imoth as to her step-mother.

Aria Ashby - Aria encounters Miriel during her travels around the earthbergs of Hala in the plane of Ysgard. Miriel joins her on Aria's journey home (Elysia, Avlis) in the winter of 2148, and remains on Avlis to this very day. Their work affiliations keep them far apart more often than not, although distance hardly matters between true friends.

Tericky Bendt (Deceased) and Ere'n'dhl El'eash'al (Deceased) - In the sunset of their lives, the mage of the Ashen Order Tericky, and the Healer Ere'n'dhl have been the people remaining mostly close to Miriel in tumultous times. To this very day she speaks their names with reverence.

Miriel's Ear-Ring, Made by Delaroweil Hend

Tralil Breck and El'gos Longstride - Miriel would mostly mention those two Ivory Order magi as her mentors in Fatespinning. Both Tralil and El'gos however address Miriel as "ooktan" (Nanshilae for "sister"), and treat her as such.

Delaroweil Hend - What begins as an acquintanceship between a student and a master arcanist of the Blue Order of the Sky, blossoms into a starlit path: One to be walked by a Moon Elf and a Half-Fey.

Kate Benneset (K'Tomma) - Miriel can often be seen in the company of the "ice witch" whenever she visits Mikona. The two widows appear to be close friends. Miriel looks up to Kate as to the older and more experienced woman she can learn from.

Sable and Shadow - For many years Miriel is tentatively tolerated amongst the Fury of Ra-Ghul as Whisper's blood sister, yet the shamaness Sable and the warrior Shadow take one step further and accept her as a close friend as well. This bond has not weakened, even after Miriel's presence causies enmity amongst the Fury and Whisper severs the blood bond.

The Three/The Four

Four individuals - some of whom have known each other for long, some not, - get together around the beginning of the XXIIIrd century after the Age of Peace. The four are Miriel and three seekers of knowledge:

Anomandaari - The Philosopher, also known as The Pilgrim or Dust, whom Miriel calls "Haloisi" in her native tongue.

Ath'nook Nekk'en - The Red Warrior, a Githzerai hunter also known as The Red One or The Crimson.

Hebrin Maul - The Grandmaster of the monk Order of the Dragon, also known as The Maul, whom The Philosopher calls "The Sitting Dragon".

Miriel Xilo herself - The Sage, also called "Little Willow" by The Philosopher, and "The Unmasked One" by The Red Warrior.

Hebrin and Miriel walk hand in hand of late, and show all the signs of being as close as a man and a woman can be.

My friend is short and to the point
That's Miriel Xilo...
I'm sure she means no great offense,
It's how she says "Hello!"

- Adagio D'Tranticus on Miriel Xilo, c. 2180

This young elf has the annoying habit to demand a lot more of your time than you really want.
Perhaps that is a sign of significance - time will show.
