Free Spirit. Stubborn. Family Oriented. Night Owl. Creative. Trust Issues. Though Mia has had her share of trials and tribulations, she remains a fairly friendly and considerate person to everyone she meets. She considers her friends her family, and her family her life. She wants to have a big family one day, and thinks about it often. Sometimes a little too often. Yikes. Mia always sticks with what she believes in no matter what anyone has to say about it. She fights for what she wants, despite being wrong most of the time. She spends all of her nights working or doing something creative, whether it doing traditional arts or researching new type of arrow heads. [/color][/indent] [color=555e66][sub]B A C K G R O U N D[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=gray]Mia was your typical girl next door. The Lhivorian sweetheart growing up. The girl you wanted to and definitely could take home to your momma by the third date. She lived in a relatively small town where everyone knew everyone and gossip was the only thing that was worth talking about. When she wasn't doing household chores, she was outside with her dark hair flying in the wind, her smile lines deeply carved into her sun kissed skin. One day while painting on a tapestry outside, the storm clouds moved in quicker than usual over Lhivoria. "Damn it." Mia growled, trying to grab her supplies without ruining her work. The sky rumbled with thunder, a huge lightening strike lit up the sky and the heavy rain started to pour. Mia looked up, and let out a huge laugh. This was life, and no matter how bad it got, she found happiness. Her teeth chattered as she quickly began walking back to the house her parents had raised her in, and she now owned. Months passed since that incident in the rain and Mia began to see those rainy days as pests and not so much as a little source of happiness. Times became a little bit more difficult without her parents guidance or the guidance of any family members that remained. Mia was a strong, level headed woman but even the strongest women need a companion in the land of Lhivoria. This is where Gideon comes into the story. While collecting some materials for her latest project for a client a scuffle was occurring in the valley below her. Dropping to the ground she watched the fight take place against a large man and several beasts. He would be killed if she didn't act now, and fast. Pulling out an arrow she had crafted that had an explosive tip that would put the smaller beasts to sleep around him, she aimed up her shot and made a direct hit against the ground by the large man letting the arrow explode and put the small beasts into a slumber. Placing a part of her scarf over her nose and mouth, knowing that because of her size she could be put to sleep if taking large inhale, she wanted to be careful. The large man was hurt, but awake. Making her way to him she spoke loudly in case he was dazed. "I'm Mia! You're hurt. Come with me!" she could not possibly carry this behemoth but she supported him as much as she could as they made they way back to her home. She slept on the floor next to him, while he rest on her bed and recovered for a few weeks. She made sure he was fed, cleaned, and his wounds were treated daily. Gideon regained his strength as the two began to form a bond. Ever since then the two have been together surviving the harsh lands and creating a bond that Mia had been missing for quite a long time. United they felt like they could defeat any evil that came their way.

Mia's Bow came about during her own material gathering, trading, and crafting. It is a brown and grey bow with two very sharp points along the body in case of an unexpected melee attack. Pride in the details can be shown in the work of the bow, but it will be made clear that Mia is wanting to upgrade to something better soon. She has been looking for materials as of lately, and doing odd favors for them.[/color][/indent] [color=555e66][sub]S K I L L S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=gray][hider= Physical] 1. [b]Precise Aim[/b] Mia's aim is meant to be precise and true. She would rather do a few critical shots rather than a jumble mess of several shots from her bow. She knows that these shots always take longer to do, and take time and care to complete, but she feels it is cleaner way to go about it. 2. [b]Swift Movements[/b] Able to quickly dodge, duck, roll, or run out of an enemies attack, Mia is able to use her movements to her advantage when she is in combat. She prefers to be out in the sidelines dropping shots, but she knows during certain situations, she has to move around until she can find proper location. 3. [b]Trap Master[/b] When given enough time, Mia is able to place traps for enemies. They are basic stunning traps leaving the enemy caught in a snare for only a few moments. Sometimes these moments are dire when it comes to a battle. This trait is useless in the heat of battle, and is much better for pre-planned attacks. 4. [b]Craftswoman[/b] Given a keen eye to detail, and professionalism is wood working Mirage is able to not only appreciate her craft but understand exactly how it works. She has crafted her current bow to satisfy her own needs but is always looking for something a bit better.[/hider] [hider=Mental] 1. [b]Complete Focus[/b] Able to become quite silent and block out factors going on around her, Mirage is able to completely set focus on her target until a next target has been chosen. This can cause stress for a party as often Mirage becomes too wrapped up in one target instead of the larger battle. 2. [b]Sensitive Hearing[/b] Trained in the idea of the hunter, Mia can focus in on small sounds around her. This is important for when she has an enemy sneaking up from behind and she needs to get out of harm's way in a hurry. 3. [b]Camouflage[/b] Continuing on from the last benchmark, because of her training when she is very quiet and within a stealth mode, she can blend into the world as if she doesn't exist. This can be a helpful strategy when a planned attack is being formed and Mirage has to set up a shot without being seen. 4. [b]Arrow Making[/b] The ability to know what items in the world go together to make specialty arrows. 5. [b]Quick Thinking[/b] Not only quick on her feet, but quick in her thoughts. Mia is able to think a few steps in front of herself when it comes to attack formations and plans. She knows to move forward or when she needs to fall back.[/hider][/color][/indent]
