RWBYTD:Mira

Mira

Mira Swann is a character in RWBY: Training Day, played by violetmythmaker.

Profile

History

Mira grew up as the youngest child of five, to say nothing of her extended family. Often the target of bullying when she was younger, she retreated into her shell and focused on her studies. After a particularly traumatizing prank by one of her classmates, she convinced her parents to let her train to become a Huntress (despite her merely average combat ability) in an attempt to transfer schools and escape the harassment.

Appearance

Mira is about average height, with blonde hair that extends to just above her waist. She looks rather slim, but makes up for her lack of muscular strength by being lithe and agile.

Personality

Mira isn't exactly shy, but still seems withdrawn much of the time. However, when around the few people she feels comfortable with, she slowly starts to warm up, even if others in the area are strangers to her; at her most social, one might not even suspect she's an introvert.

In battle, she almost completely changes into a bold, flashy warrior, who won't hesitate to put herself at risk for the sake of the innocent or the mission.

Weapon: Ivory Wings

The Ivory Wings are a pair of heavy pistols with the ability to transform into short swords. Originally, they were a basic pair of guns that Mira had received before even applying to Beacon, but after many near-sleepless nights researching and building, she gave them the ability to take their sword form, to give her even more flexibility in battle.

Traits

Clings to her friends

Mira has has internalized a lot of her past bullying; she feels like she'll never be good enough to stand on the same level as her friends, and tends to cling to them out of a fear that she can't make it on her own.

Stubbornly committed to justice

Having grown up being the target of countless bullies when she was younger, Mira hates seeing anyone suffer the same hardships as she did. Mistreating or harrassing people when she's around may well cause her to slip into her battle persona, long enough to at least attempt to "save" (at least, as she sees it) the target.

I Want To Learn From Elissa

When Mira heard a rumor that the well-known Elissa Ithakos would be attending Beacon Academy, she took it as a sign that she was meant to go there as well. In her quest to never fall behind again, she decided to learn as much as she can from her; after all, someone as skilled as Elissa would have to make a good teacher, right?

Family

The only relative Mira is all that close to is her sister Sienna. Everyone else is tolerable at best, downright infuriating at worst.

• Irving Swann (father)
  • "I feel like he means well, but he's always been pretty demanding."
• Oriana Swann (mother)
  • "I wish I were closer to her. I don't know how she kept a handle on all five of us kids."
• Gwendolyn Swann (older sister, eldest sibling)
  • "Honestly, she's been so successful it's inspiring, but she's become really distant from the rest of us."
• Nigel Swann (older brother, second oldest sibling)
  • "He never could stand playing second-best to anyone, especially Gwendolyn."
• Beckett Swann (older brother, middle sibling)
  • "Ugh, he's so annoying. Always with his stupid pranks."
• Sienna Swann (older sister, second youngest sibling)
  • "I got along with her better than I did anyone else. She was always so nice to me."
    

Fluff

Semblance: Wind

Mira's semblance revolves around using wind to her advantage, such as moving objects around or, in combination with her swords, moving through the air similarly to flying.
