EVERYTHING ELSE
POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS:• Clever/Creative.
• Acting abilities. Able to hide her emotions from people. She thinks that if someone can read her emotions than they have some sort of control over her.
• Loyal to those closest to her. In her business there is not many who she is close to but she is extremely loyal to those few who are.
• Practical. She wouldn't try and do something that was completely out of her abilities to do.
• Optimistic most times. Whenever she has had a good day she can be very optimistic. Even on a semi bad day she can still pull herself out of her thoughts to try and be at least a little bit optimistic. She is known for her bad drinking problems though and thats where she can get a bit self destructive.
• Sympathetic. Mira isn't a slab of stone. She has a heart, a bigger one than you would probably expect in her line of work. She can be very emotional when someone tells a sob story and she can be extremely sympathetic, it's whether or not she helps the person though.
• Determined. She is determined to succeed in everything she does because not succeeding would mean living on the streets or worse.
• Endurance and the ability to do whatever to survive. An ability that anyone in her line of work would have to have to remain alive.
NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS:• Usually self centered. At times she can do things for others with no reward for herself, rarely but it has been known to happen. Most of the time though much of what she does to 'help' others usually gives her something in return.
• Mistrusting and secretive. In her line of work being open with everyone gets you into trouble; ie thrown in jail or killed.
• Vain. Being known as the exotic Egyptian beauty by her clients has made her a bit admiring of her own looks and made her think about nothing else. Even years later still clinging to the same idea of herself as being beautiful and the envy of everyone.
• Arrogant, never admits shes wrong. Mira is stubborn and hates to be proved wrong. She hates that even being as clever as she is she can still be proven wrong when she thought she was right.
• Jealous. At times of those in the business who are younger than her who on her down days believe they are more attractive than herself and they will eventually get rid off her because she herself is too ugly. She realizes as she gets older she gets pushed further to the background which she hates.
• Blames everyone else rather than herself. A trait she blames her mother for.
• Impatient
• Alcoholic
HABITS/QUIRKS:
• When she gets angry she starts slipping into her native language which greatly confuses whoever she is arguing with or yelling at.
• When shes thinking deeply she tends to run her necklace back and forth across her lip.
ITEMS:• A dagger. It's not much to look at, no fancy design on it. Just a dagger with an letters ADJ carved into the hilt that she carries strapped to the inside of her thigh, except when she was with her clients. The truth is it is the only thing she has that connects her to her estranged father in anyway. The letters ADJ aren't much to go on but she doesn't really care.
• A necklace. Again simple and again something that belonged to a parent. This time her mother. She hated her mother but she couldn't bring herself to get rid of it.
• open
• open
ANYTHING ELSE?:Her Egyptian mother had named her daughter Samira, meaning night thoughts. Ironic for the occupation that her daughter took in her stride many years later. Her mother had named her though for the love of the night sky that she and her estranged father had shared. A man who traveled alot he had not known about Samira until after she had been born. He was outraged by his sudden fatherhood, more for the fact she was a girl and abandoned both her mother and the newborn, leaving Samira's mother to raise a child that she hated for making her life miserable. So you could say her mother and her didn't get along. Her mother taught two things, how to dance, mainly so she could fend for herself. And to blame everyone else for her problems. After her mother died she traveled to the eternal city hoping to either find her father, or if that failed at least start a new life.
