Mila Arcturus (Act I)

Posted 1 year ago

Mila is another orphan rescued by Rema Merloci. Unable to raise Mila herself because of "laws of conduct" between Huema and Penumbra, Miriam adopted the girl herself. Mila knows nothing of her real parents as she was abandoned on an Isalmian farmer's property. Despite realizing the baby was a Penumbra, Mesippi could not turn a blind eye having three children of his own. Life was ordinary as possible until two foreigners, a mother and child, begged for rest for the ailing woman.

Never had she met anyone like them before, their beliefs, language, or their story. Learning of the mother and son's sad tale motivated something within Miriam triggered triggered a curiosity of her own family. As much as Miriam loved her adopted family, it would come to an end when Dinah's pursuers came to take she and Ira's life. Her older brothers aided her escape to the barn but they lost their lives along with their father at the hands of the mercenaries. Mila witnessed Dinah's sacrifice and Ira's act, though neither have ever spoken of it, even to one another since. Together they fled from the mercenaries until fortune or fate led them across the path of a band of training Ematus Sercia trainees led by Rema Merloci.

She had lost her family, but took solace in Ira surviving with her. Because she was Penumbra, Mila spent a short time in an orphanage for Nisrians with Rema and her friend, Miriam visiting her with intentions to adopt. Miriam schooled the girl much like she had Rema, though particularly focused on teaching Mila her heritage. It also became apparent that Mila was connected to Miriam in some way due to the sanguine bond felt between them. Just as she had discovered for herself, Miriam brought her to Count Ambrose, finding her uncanny resemblance to Adriana as a child.

Mila's uncovering the past would lead her to an encounter with a mysterious woman calling herself Sorrow, claiming to know her birth mother, Vetrise Cardinal or now known as Ovara Marie.
