Mira Selos

Samurai's Pride

Born to a family of high status within Ul'Dah society, Mira wanted for nothing but certainly was not pampered, earning her keep from a young age as was the way of her people. Mother a High Arcanist and a devote follower of Llymlaen with a love for the sea, father a high ranking member of the Immortal Flames. The magics of Eorzea did not suit her despite her mother's desires, affection for sword play shining through after constantly sneaking out late at night to watch her father practice in the barracks from a tender age, perfecting the ancient arts of the Samurai passed down the Selos line from their native lands of Hingashi. Despite his desires to bear a son worthy of his succession he was left with only a daughter, a son manning the helm of the Selos line until this day.As soon as she was able Mira accustom herself to the feel of cold steel against her fingertips, a katana much like her fathers own as she struck a training dummy outside the Ul'dah Steps stables. One fateful night her father stumbled upon the spectacle in astonishment and instead of meeting her with swift outrage when approached could not feel more honored, ashamed in the neglect of his daughter's devotion. "I wish to uphold all that is dear to you father, to learn the ways of the Selos clan and honor our family line." From that day forward she was no longer a mere member of the Selos family but would be trained to uphold the ways of the Bushido creed as a noble Samurai.At the age of sixteen Mira was ready to take her first leap forward into the waking worlds of Eorzea on her own feet with her parent's blessings. Carving a path for herself she set off to join the Grand Company of the Immortal Flames like her father before her in his youth. Ul'dah was a land of rich opportunities, filled with countless vagrants and beasts alike worthy of honing her skills. She constantly strived to prove to her father that a woman could uphold the Selos lineage with sincerity and loyalty until met with an honorable death. Such were the ways of her Raen forbearers, Kami guiding her path in the journeys ahead as she grew into an esteemed warrior as the years passed by.
