Mireanda Aorelis
Mireanda Aorelis, Queen of Eleonis (a.k.a. Randa)
Mireanda is the Princess of Lupear, the only daughter of King Thameos. Her mother died giving birth to her, her wet nurse a few years later from a fever, leaving her to grow up without a mother figure. Her father and older brother Nicoleas both consider women lesser human beings. They also both blame her for her mother's death, making them think even less of her. She always wanted to learn to fight, at least in self-defence, but her father forbade it, which she eventually accepted.
She struggled to take a stand within the oppressive, male-dominated structures of Lupear, but for the first 17 years of her life, she never knew anything else. Another part of her that her father and brother never approved of and looked down upon is her bisexuality and stong preference for women, which she figured out quite early on and had been acting on since.
Her perception of the world changed when she met Jon, Lona and Zairah, passing through Aorelia, her home town, on their way to confront Iohan. She took her opportunity to get out of Lupear by joining the three on their travels, during which she fell in love with Jon. Afterwards, she only reluctantly left Angeleor to go back home. Her father agreed to make an alliance with Eleonis, and as confirmation for their contract offered Jon her hand in marriage, which Jon, with her go ahead, agreed to. They got married soon after.

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Other than the fact that she's currently pregnant, she is in prime physical condition. As a matter of fact, since she met Jon and started learning to fight from him and to shoot a bow from Zairah, she has become quite strong and athletic.
Body Features
Mireanda is not particularly tall or short and of average build. She used to be quite dainty, but has since built up some strength, which suits her quite well.
Facial Features
Her face is heart-shaped with almond-shaped amber eyes and a slightly upturned nose. Her brunett, curly hair complements her face and skin colourvery well. She is quite beautiful and she knows it.
Special abilities
With Zairah's guidance Mireanda developed a taste and talent for archery.
Apparel & Accessories
While she used to wear a long dresses a lot, she never particularly liked them. After she left Aorelia with Jon, Eleona and Zairah, she took to wearing shirt and trousers like Zairah and Jon.
Specialized Equipment
Mireanda owns a small, ornate dagger she always carries. She used to conceal it in her skirts but now carries it openly.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
aromantic, bisexual
Education
Despite her status as Princess of Lupear, Mireanda, a girl in a deeply misogynistic kingdom, was denied access to any education past basic writing, reading and maths. She was taught many things like cooking and needlework, but that was never quite enough for her.
Employment
Through her marriage to Jon, she became Queen of Eleonis. As such, she now is in a position where she advises Jon in his decisions, giving him support or suggestions for better solutions, which he usually takes into serious consideration.
Accomplishments & Achievements
After seventeen years of feeling trapped in a male-dominated, misogynistic society without seeing a way to change things, she took her opportunity to break free when she went to Soane with Jon, Eleona and Zairah. Going back to Aorelia took her a while, since she had to adjust back to being seen by her father and brother as someone who was theirs to make decisions for. Therefore, she considered marrying Jon a way to permanently get out, which she gladly accepted.
Failures & Embarrassments
Despite that, she failed to make her family see her point of view or change their opinion of women in general.
Mental Trauma
All her life, Mireanda suffered under the oppression she experienced as a woman. Seeing the way especially her brother treated women never sat right with her. In addition, she grew up being blamed for her mother's death, although her dying in childbirth was obviously not her fault.
Intellectual Characteristics
She is generally a straight-forward, smart person, but she was afraid to speak her mind for so long that she's still working on not being scared of it anymore. At her core, she is honest and kind, but on the surface, she can come across somewhat pretentious or snarky, which also is reflected in her sense of humour.
Morality & Philosophy
Her general mode of operating is to assume that men are not on her side until proven otherwise.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
She is motivated by wanting to make the world a more welcoming place for women and girls everywhere. Since she heard what Iohan had done and that he was quite the misogynistic jerk, she was fully on board with trying to get rid of him.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Mireanda is quite good at judging when to speak up and when to keep her mouth shut and let others do the talking, even though, according to her father and brother, she should always do the ladder. She used to take this into consideration but has since learned to trust her own instincts and to not take their arrogance as an ideal for her behaviour anymore. She is also quite good at reading people.
Virtues & Personality perks
As she is coming into her own character, she is learning to be honest and true to herself without losing her kindness and sense of humour.
Vices & Personality flaws
Due to past experiences, she operates on the presumption that men are not on her side and it takes a while to convince her otherwise, as Jon had to.
Social
Reign
Mireanda's reign is only just beginning and will have undoubtedly have quite a few memorable moments.
Family Ties
Her contact to her father and brother is now limited to a strictly necessary amount.
Social Aptitude
Due to her ability to get a good read on people relatively quickly, she is very good at adjusting to any given social situation.
