Mirathi

Ah.... excuse me... do you have anything to eat...?

Mirathi is... well, unique, in many ways. Very different in many ways, but at the same time very similar to quite a few things. Angels, for one... but she isn't an angel, and before very recently had no idea that there even was a place like Earth! It was impossible for her to conceive of a place so devoid of food... which is rather different for her.

Material food has no substance, for her, in truth.... it's little more than a means of sustaining herself at a bare minimum, and that's no good at all for her. See, she's a being who requires the energy of emotions to survive! Specifically, in her case, Love. And let's face it, there's not much of that to be had.

Mirathi is a recent arrival, you see. She quite literally fell from the heavens one day, wreathed in brilliant white light, and she has no idea how it happened, why it happened, or even what it was, exactly, that happened! And she's still trying to work things out...

As it happens, though, she does look rather.. angelic, as you might imagine. Not only does she have those odd, shifting colors to her hair, eyes, and wings, but she also has an aura about her, at times, when she exerts herself. Odd how that is, isn't it?

In any case, she's an empathic feeder. She can feed on any emotion, but really, it's never occurred to her to 'eat' anything other than love... which, in her home plane, was the most abundant supply of food, next to happiness. Needless to say, around here she's gotten a bit... hungry. Sure, she could feed on any emotion but it really hasn't occurred to her, naive as she is.

Mind you, there are taboos against feeding on certain emotions. You see... you are what you eat has never been more true than it is with her kind. Negative emotions, while being powerful sustenance, will warp and twist her kind, turning them into... something else. Powerful, yes, but very malicious and destructive.

Mirathi, though, is an innocent. Naive, relatively helpless unless she's had food, and with no idea of the customs of the world, she has the added disadvantage of being effectively mute, unless someone has an empathic bond with her. She cannot speak, you see... unless someone cares about her for the right reasons, even a little. An empathic bond is necessary to hear her, but at the same time she could forge one based on anger, if it ever occurred to her. See, she's mostly limited by her mind.

Onward to ideas! To come.

Damsel in Distress: Mirathi is a very unusual, lovely girl. She could be highly valued for a number of reasons, such as her apparently magical abilities and biology, or simply her good looks, or the fact that she may well be nobility and can be used to bargain with.

Lost and Alone: Well, that describes her. Mirathi may be wandering around, searching in vain for something to feed on, when she is found by someone who means well. This person would be able to hear her, and feed her, and who knows what may happen from there?

Desperation: Well... this is a darker possibility. Mirathi may wel be captured, and driven toward starvation and madness. In her anger she may feed on other things, and in that case she would be.... very dangerous, and subtly altered. Her demeanor would change, and her appearance, in such an event.

New Citizen: This is a potential encounter with Mirathi down the road a ways. She's learned of other things she can feed on, safely, and she's learned how to speak to people vocally, or more directly through her limited telepathy. It could be very interesting for whoever meets her...

About Mirathi's wings.... they aren't solid. They are, in fact, made of energy, and a reason that whatever clothes she has has to have a slit or other opening for them. Think of them as an exhaust port for waste energy, or rather, energy she cannot use. They re quite warm to the touch, though, and harmless.

Please PM if interested! Really! I won't bite! Unless you PM me ICly, or have been bothering me lately in certain ways(and I'm more likely to ignore you for the latter). Really though! Don't be shy!
