Lady of Decay
Mirani is the lady of rot, she likes to watch things wither and die, she especially enjoys the process of decomposition.
This is what her domain was back when Yanu still ruled the world, she was the one who was put in charge of disposing of fallen leaves, and dead animals that were left behind.
Creations
She created the world's fungi and bacteria, they were the best at eating and digesting the dead and the waste of other beings, but it was later that she figured she could make her beloved creations even more useful, by creating more bodies for them to digest.
She did this by creating poisonous fungi, and turning her bacteria on the living, creating the first diseases. She didn't stay with just bacterial diseases tho, she diversified to viral, fungal, and many more kinds of plagues, although she hasn't been able to actively create any new ones ever since all the Ynue were banished from the world by Yanu, with the exception of one instance, which changed everything, when she nearly made it back to the world.
Incursion
Mirani is the only one of the Ynue who ever came close to re-entering the world, but ultimately failed to break Yanu's protective barrier.
In the split second that she was connected to the world, she created a series of plagues and famines that plunged the world into centuries of conflict and death, known as the blood wars.
This event was one of the most influential moments in the history of the world, but ever since then, she has been able to do nothing more, and tempt people with power, in exchange for looking like diseased wretches.
Following
Those who follow Mirani do so out of a desperate desire for strength, wether that be to heal or to kill. Mirani isn't picky, she doesn't require people to meet any kind of requirements, or standards, as long as they agree to her terms.
Those who become her followers are then slowly turned into her image, disease-ridden hosts of death, with modest healing and poisoning abilities.
Overlord
As your overlord, Mirani cares for you, she nurtures you, but your body makes to decay, she infects it with bacteria and fungi until it ceases to function, and your soul is hers to take. She won't let you die easily tho, because while her followers are the carriers of a great many diseases, they won't actually kill them that quickly, and hags still manage to live many years in their wretched conditions.
She also takes all pain from her subjects, which is another reason why someone may choose to pledge themselves to her. While microorganisms slowly dissolve your body from the inside out, you feel nothing but bliss, you are grateful to please your mistress, who cares so deeply for you.
Mirani doesn't care who follows her, as long as it all rots in the end.
Appearance
Mirani appears much like how she makes her subjects look, a host of a great variety of parasitic hosts, which she carries proudly.
She has long black hair, and dull gray skin, and watery red eyes. She walks using a staff, and is permanently hunched over.
