Character Name: Miral Alechem
Faction: Bene Gesserit, Truthsayer of Emperor Elrood IX
Sex: Female
Age: 41
Hair color: raven black
Eye color: they used to be black; now they are tinted by the blue of deep spice addiction which followed the intake of Water of Life
Unusual markings/piercings/tattoos: Has a mystical symbol tattooed on her thigh
Height/Weight/Built: Miral is a tall woman, slim and muscular, in the manner of all Bene Gesserit, having undergone strict physical training her entire life; she continues to maintain her beauty and youthful appearance partly due to spice consumption, and partly to daily exercise. Her other skills include excellent fighting skills, prana bindu, minutae and the art of lovemaking possible only though a perfect control over her body.
Personality: Deceptive, cunning, resourceful...all traits prized within the Sisterhood, which Miral is an exceptional example of. She can read truth in the slightest tick of human behaviour, thus trying to deceive her is unwise and potentially dangerous. Miral is dedicated to her duties as Truthsayer, but her allegiance runs deeper; whom she truly serves is the Bene Gesserit, doing what she must in order to serve her Sisters' purposes.
History: The seventh daughter of a seventh daughter of the House Minor Alechem, Miral had never enjoyed parental affection as a young child; often cared for by a maid along with her brothers and sisters, her early childhood had been a plain, uninteresting one, for she was just another girl who would need to be married off at one point, much to her parents' disdain - for that meant a dowry.
At the age of 7, Miral and her large family had embarked on a Heighliner bound for a holiday resort planet, to spend a few relaxing weeks; separated from their group, they young girl found herself lost and descended in a frigate that took her to none other than the icy world of Wallach IX. Quickly discovered by the Sisterhood, young Miral Alechem faced the possibility of being evicted off-world immediately, but the Bene Gesserit Mother Superior made the decision of keeping her at the school instead, not giving anyone reasons for it.
Over the first few years, Miral performed manual labor such as tending to the gardens and greenhouses, but slowly the Sisters recognized her sharp intellect and a very keen ability to detect when others were being untruthful. Thus, she became an Acolyte, starting her real training as a Bene Gesserit. Despite the expectations, Miral proved to be a brilliant student who complained little and soaked up information like a sponge; more and more her talent of detecting deception became obvious, now stimulated by the drugs used by Truthsayers.
Upon her 31st birthday, Miral undertook the Spice Agony from which she survived, now having attained both the Reverend Mother and Truthsayer status; no more the orphan girl with no future but a respected member of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, Miral was appointed as Imperial Truthsayer on Kaitain, with precise instructions of finding the genetically appropriate match for the new Emperor, who would deliver the wanted offspring.
