Mikilira

Once a noble child with a strong wild streak, after the events that annihilated the Clan of Death, Mikilira became a grudge-filled and hateful child to all but a select few Youkai she had already gotten used to. Highly intelligent when she puts her mind to it, she's nevertheless become unfortunately crippled after casting a Murderer's Curse on Rikiya and living with the consequences herself for a few years. Possessing an unfortunately small sight range and a somewhat slow reaction time, Mikilira nevertheless shows a strong potential to become a very powerful fighter one day. Unfortunately, she's chosen to test her prowess out by beating the stuffing out of anyone that approaches her, pretty much. While she's somewhat calm around Dirge, time will tell if she'll ever be able to relax enough to treat others nearly as nicely as she treats him.

Mikilira and her parents were initially a part of Valdis' Clan as a result of a setup between Valdis and Mazani. As Mikilira hails from a Clan that would often bear "Masters" that were able to withstand the power of the Shadow Spirit, Sacri, she and her family were allowed to join the protection of the Clan on the agreement that Valdis' first born son (the "slave" to these "Masters", as it were) would become Mates with Mikilira someday. Considering the resulting child, Rikiya, was the heir to the Shadow Spirit Swift, this was done with the understanding that the heir that would result from the two of them would be practically undefeatable with powers from both Spirits. From day one of Rikiya's birth, Mikilira hung around him and doted over him very often, protecting him from other bigger children with help from Dirge. While the arrangement seemed like it would work, eventually the day the poachers massacred their Clan came around, and the children lost their families in an instance. While Rikiya attempted to escape the burning forest, he came across Mikilira, who bore an extreme hatred towards him after she witnessed him telling the poachers of their location. In a fury, Mikilira attempted to defeat Rikiya then and there, unaffected by the flames that surrounded them. In the end, she could only curse him with a powerful hex that inflicted solitary Rose Rot upon the two of them. After Rikiya fled, Dirge found Mikilira and took her into his protection until Valdis' revival...

Since the time she and Rikiya were rescued from their curse thanks to Black-bell and Dirge's involvement, Mikilira has become a sullen and bratty child at times. She never hesitates to strike Rikiya whenever she sees him within her field of vision, and still cannot get rid of her grudge so easily. Still, she's slowly opening up to the kind folks that surround her, beginning with Bella. Time will tell if this will change her stance on the little heir at all, especially with the Leadership trials approaching...

After attempting to betray Rikiya and pit someone innocent against him, Dirge finally took action against her and brought her to a Heartbreaker, leaving with her Core and a few injuries and broken teeth himself. In a rage, she began to try and attack Rikiya through burning at the protective layer over his dreamscape, though she was defeated and eventually destroyed by Fulmine after being told how badly she messed up. It's unlikely that Mikilira will ever be reborn again due to her sins (and the fact that none of her dreams came true, making her a low priority for revival/rebirth from the Dream World).
