At the table

Voice

Deep, raspy, and resonant. Carries the weight of her physical strength.

Short, blunt sentences. She avoids metaphors and flowery language. Her voice sounds like stones rolling together at the bottom of a river.

Speech patterns

Steel doesn't lie. Men do.
Is this worth my time or just another prophecy?
Pick up your gear and get out of my forge.
I'm a smith, not a savior.

How to play them

Players must prove they care about people, not just power, to get her to open up. She hates flattery.

Goal

To live long enough to see her marble arm turn back into flesh and blood.

Motivation

To protect the peaceful status quo of her village and avoid the violent fate she believes is tied to her celestial arm.

Secret · GM only

Appearance

Mira stands a full head taller than most men in the village. Her frame is built of heavy muscle and constant labor. While her left side appears as a normal, soot-stained woman, her right arm is a terrifyingly beautiful prosthetic of translucent, pearl-white marble. Golden veins pulse deep within the stone like liquid sunlight. When she moves the arm, there is no sound of grinding rock, only a low, rhythmic hum. Contrasting her immense power, she wears a delicate, tiny silver thimble on her left pinky finger at all times.

Clothing

A heavy, scorched leather smithing apron over a simple linen tunic and wool trousers. She wears no jewelry other than her thimble.

Body language

Usually stands with her right arm held behind her back or buried in an apron pocket. Moves with a deliberate, slow grace.

Personality

13 traits and drives

Mira is a woman of profound silence who considers words a waste of breath. She is intensely patient with children and animals but has zero tolerance for arrogance or 'heroics.' While she is deeply cynical about the gods and their grand designs, she would sacrifice her life for a single neighbor in her village without hesitation. She acts with a gruff, dismissive exterior to hide a heart that is constantly terrified of the destiny pulling at her sleeve.

Quirks

Background

Twenty years ago, a star fell from the sky and leveled the old forest near Mira's home. She was the only survivor found in the crater, her original right arm gone, replaced by the severed limb of a dying celestial entity. While the world sees her as a chosen one, she sees herself as a graveyard for a being that failed to save itself. She spent decades learning to use the arm's weight to smith unbreakable tools, hoping to live a life of utility rather than war. Recently, a man named Kaelen has been visiting, speaking of a 'dead god' needing to be reassembled, but Mira just wants to fix plows and be left alone.

Role in the story

The reluctant muscle who provides the party with gear but refuses to join the quest until the village is directly threatened.
