Sister Myra of the Veins

Bloodbound Huntress; Sister of the Veins; Myra

Sister Myra of the Veins is a living paradox of grace and horror, a rare female among the Thornguard whose mere presence disrupts the battlefield’s rhythm. She moves like flowing sap through the underbrush—silent, steady, inevitable—and where she passes, pain blossoms.

Her name is whispered in reverence and dread. Among the Thornveil’s twisted ranks, Myra is not just a soldier—she is a ritual made flesh, a walking embodiment of the Dominion’s philosophy: beauty entwined with death, sacrifice entwined with power.

Combat Style

• Twin Vineblades: Her signature weapons, “Wail” and “Whisper,” are curved vineblades, grown from her own blood and thornwood, symbiotically linked to her nervous system.
• When drawn, they emit piercing shrieks, both physical and psychic, disrupting the senses of nearby enemies.
• The blades drink from every wound, growing sharper and faster with each drop of blood spilled.
• Living Armor – “The Thornvein Carapace”: Her armor pulses with visible crimson veins, glowing faintly beneath translucent plates of bonebark and carapaced fungus.
• The veins carry alchemical blood that grants her preternatural reflexes and bleeds on command, forming blood-thorns or coagulated shields mid-combat.
• Dance of the Blooming Death: Myra’s combat style is fluid and balletic, weaving between strikes in a hypnotic pattern that is as mesmerizing as it is lethal.

Special abilities

• Bloodlink: Myra can channel pain through her weapons, inflicting shared torment on enemies with each cut.
• Veinburst: By overcharging her blood-veins, she can erupt in a halo of spine-thorns and toxic mist, shredding and blinding nearby foes.
• Symbiotic Echo: If she is wounded, her vineblades gain vocal strength, screaming louder and with deeper agony, stunning enemies and rallying nearby undead.
• Undying Pulse: Even if slain, her body continues to fight briefly—the vines animating her corpse in a final fury, often enough to finish her enemies before collapsing into a blooming husk.

Contacts & Relations

• Devout Aestheticism: Myra believes in the sanctity of beauty within ruin. Her chamber within Blackthorn Keep is filled with blood-petaled orchids, bone-laced calligraphy, and hanging vines that pulse with her song.
• Respected & Feared: Among the Thornguard, she is seen as both saint and executioner. Initiates often pray to her before battle, seeking grace in death or meaning in suffering.
• Relationship to Captain Thornsoul: Though they rarely speak, Myra and Virel share a deep, wordless understanding—the healer’s lament turned blade and the ritualist’s pain turned art.
