Character Concept
Most that get to know Myra would say she is a kind person, not very easily angered and willing to help if able. Though most times she tends to have her head in books, or plants, or working on anything else really. She's a bit distrusting at first whether she shows it or not. She enjoys nature. The scenery, animals..in fact sometimes she likes animals more than people. Her favorite color is green. Or maybe purple? Generally a curious person, she enjoys learning all sorts of things.
Character History
Originally from Ravok, Myra is the youngest of two children. Most of the time she was following her big brother around whether he liked it or not and he was her best friend, together they would get themselves into trouble one way or another. At home like many in Ravok, her parents taught her of Rhysol.. though to this day she is unsure if they were passionate about it. The family did well enough and were fortunate to have enough money to provide for the family and live comfortable.
As years passed and the children grew up, her and her brother began to have their differences. He became a true follower of Rhysol and she began seeing less of him into her teens. As she got older, she began to question religion and politics as she began to see some of the corruption in her city. That's when she knew she didn't want to stay in Ravok forever.
Without her brother around, Myra found other ways to keep occupied. She found that she liked plants and flowers, and learning their different uses. Her curiosity continued and she wanted to learn it all. Where to find certain plants that could be used for medicines or poisons, even perfumes! How to combine ingredients just the right way. She dreamed of having her own shop someday, but also wanted to see the world. Besides there was much for her to learn yet and perhaps she would find more inspiration while on the road.
Some time later when Myra was about twenty one years, she decided she had been home long enough and ventured out, eventually settling in Lhavit. She was in awe of its beauty and managed to purchase a home where she could have her own garden in the country.
