Miriel Hana

Latest Update: The Summer of 2234

Appearance

Miriel Hana, at a time Miriel Hana Xilo'rulithii, is a familiar figure in Visimontium from the early days of the Holy City of Andrinor - the middle of the XXII^nd century after the Age of Peace. She still is very young for an elf, keeping her hair cut short in a boyish manner. Once silver, her hair has now turned mostly white, as a bitter counterpoint of her youth. Of late, she has been known to dye it a quaint shade of metalic rose red.

Miriel is skinny and unusually pale, if quick to blush. Those who chance a glimpse at her bare skin at night can see it gleam in the moonlight as if mother-of-pearl. Her delicate teeth, snow white, appear to be unnaturally sharpened. Miriel's face usually bears an expresionless mask, even in her most emotional moments. Her argentine eyes display hues of ice and steel, sharpened further by her intense stare.

Strong as her presence might be, Miriel has a reputation for her ability to approach quietly, often remaining completely unnoticed until such time that she chooses to step in the foreground. Despite the impression of frailty about her body, she can surprise the onlookers with lightning fast reflexes, physical versatility and endurance. The petite woman can take a punishment but something in her slight frame suggests that she might just as well deliver it.

Miriel walks the streets of Visimontium wearing the light red and black uniform of a Sentinel officer. She might also be spotted in the pristine robe of a Magus of the White Order of the Light. Apart from this formal attire, her wardrobe includes elegant, if austere cuts of clothing of her own making. When the occassion demands a more formal approach, Miriel wears pearls. At almost all times a faint scent of wintermint follows her.

Miriel has preserved one element from her more frivolous fashion past, that being her collection of boots. They are of varying heel height, making it tricky to pinpoint her actual stature at a glance. She appears to be 4'10" or less at about 90 lbs; notably smaller than the average elven female. This is emphasised all the more by her imposing staff wrought of dark steel and onyx, topped with a crystal skull head.

Miriel is seen wearing the holy periapt of Andrinor openedly; That or a modest silver necklace adourned by a small bright ruby which she appears to be unusually fond of. A scar crosses her left hand's palm inside, acting as the dividing line for the stylized image of Ra-Ghul's masked face inked therein. The palm of her right hand bears a replica of Andrinor's Mark, usually found on a Trust mage's right shoulder.

Miriel's voice is a light alto, prone to a soft rasp which quickly becomes a croak in the rare case when she speaks aloud. As of present day, she uses solely gestures and no words to cast spells. Her movements while spellcasting are somewhat restrained, forceful, carried out with painstaking concentration. She is known for her use of a melodious semblance to the Drangonari language.

Those who can recognise it may also be able to discern her origin, as Miriel visibly differs from most Avlissian elves.

A small but no negligible part of Miriel's presence is her familiar: Lomion, a diminutive fruit bat, also known as "library bat". This otherwise docile animal has become infamous for an unhealthy inclination towards sugary foods and beverages, causing it to fly amok.
