3. Meira Backstory

Background- Meira

Author's Note: Meira Mondesir is not my original character, but I have been given permission to use her details by her creator. This background was written by her creator and is unchanged except for a few minor edits. If she would like me to expand on the character's background I will provide a replacement for this chapter. If she'd like me to add a campaign summary for Meira as well, that could be added later. All dialogue and decisions Meira makes in the stories are my interpretations of the character.

Miera Mondesir grew up a happy half elf, her mother a human and her father an elf in a sprawling city inspired by art nouveau design and a strong French influence. Elves and Half Elves lived in harmony though of course there are those who hold themselves in higher regard as pure elves. Miera had the usual childhood, a best friend, school, a loving family. Her parents ran a book shop, a wondrous place for her as a child getting to fall into as many worlds as she could devour. Things got complicated as she got older.

Suddenly on her 15th birthday her parents took her to a ceremony where she learned what her father was in truth. A trained assassin, the 23rd in a long line of what dated back to an ancient brotherhood. She recognized others at the ceremony, other elves that she grew up knowing. It was her turn to take her place and succeed her father in the Fay'ai. She dutifully trained for years learning the arts of stealth and disguise as well as how to dexterously handle a blade. She could no longer mingle with the other kids from school, she and her best friend grew apart. She could never know.

By the age of 25, still very young, she was to take on her first target on her own. This would be the true initiation but as she made her way to the location of her target she let both Kukris fall to her sides, the shock paralyzingly her as she saw her childhood best friend sitting there, reading in a small clearing. She could not believe that this was her charge. She couldn't do it. But she couldn't go back to the Fay'ai without having taken on the target. As much as she wanted to make her father proud, she couldn't do it.

So, she left. She abandoned the Fay'ai and in turn had to abandon her home, her family, her world. She just hoped her father would not be punished for her weakness. She had to find answers.
