Mira

Mira is the protagonist of the game Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord. A Selkie, she is the daughter of the former Darklord, and has taken over his place. Now the new evil genius, Mira has to fight off would-be heroes while protecting her tower in order to fulfill her dreams of conquering the world and rule with an iron fist. She is served by Tonberries.

Appearance
Her entire appearance seems to be based around a dichotomy of light and dark, even going so far as to have two dress styles, two hair colors, and two different-colored eyes. Her right side is a dark warrior in armor, while her left is a light princess in a dress. Her outfit features a small, crystal-like stone on her left forehead, similar to King Leo's crystal stone.

Early History
Mira was a spoiled child, always tormenting the Tonberries and writing spells on the walls. When the Miasma disappeared, so did her father, who sealed himself inside the Dark Crystal. Feeling abandoned by her father, she developed a great resentment against him.

The new Darklord
On her sixteenth birthday, Mira is crowned the new Darklord and has declared total war between monsters and people. Mira embarks on a conquest journey aboard her Flying Tower. She arrives to a town where, despite her initial attack, does not cower in fear from her sight. Tonbetty explains that thanks to the humorous-looking shape of the tower, the villagers confused it for a kind of celebration. Mira then leaves the town in order to resolve the issue.

To do so, she commanded her servant Tonberries to find a famous hero who she could crush. In search for a hero to defeat, Mira arrives to the hideout of a caravan of burglars, in hope that by the defeating the famous Striped Brigands she will obtain the reputation of a dreaded Darklord and lots of striped apples for pie.

But when Mira defeats the leader of the gang, it is discovered that they are actually the Stripped Brigand lead by Bel Dat. Bel Dat, irritated by the whole ordeal expresses, that she does have a great treasure, the secret of the new Darklord being half-demon, half-Clavat, and she starts to spread the secret all over the world.

A Foul Mood
Mira goes on a rampage, promptly giving Tonbetty a drop kick that almost makes her head fly off. When asked to discuss the matter with her father, she quickly refuses and sends the Tonberries to find herself another hero, a female adventurer ready to challenge the Darklord.

Upon defeat the adventurer turns out to be no other than Princess Fiona of Alfitaria, who wishes Mira could serve as a bridge between people and monsters so all races could live at peace. Mira, struck by emotion, forgets to deliver the final blow, letting the princess escape.

While Mira is enclosed in her bedroom, Stiltzkin arrives to the tower to pay a visit to his old friend Tonbetty. Mira quickly finds out the meeting and proceeds to punish them. At that very moment, a legendary hero and his apprentice arrives at the steps of the Flying Tower, postponing Tonbetty's and Stiltzkin's punishment after their defeat.

After defeating Hugh Yurg, Mira is ready to deliver punishment to Tonbetty and Stiltzkin, when suddenly Darklord Craydall appears and reveals he was the one who put Tonbetty at her service. Mira is surprised to realize her father has been the narrator this whole time, and expresses all the resentment she feels against him. He tells her that the potential to become a great Darklord was always in her, so he could retire peacefully into the Crystal. Before leaving, he presents her with a last challenge.



The Last Battle
After a brief father-daughter conversation, she forgets about the punishment and embarks to the final confrontation against the king of the most prosperous kingdom. When Mira finally arrives at victory, between threats and mockery, she shockingly announces the end of her world-conquering campaign. She would like to work with the king in order to make the world a peaceful place for both people and monsters. That is, without giving up being the Darklord that she is, earning the title of Princess of Light and Darkness.

War in Paradise
Some time later, the rumor about the King's Seal, an artifact with the supposed power to make whomever gains it the leader of the world, being somewhere on the island Mira was vacationing at the moment, so she quickly races against other adventurers to claim it. Later, Fiona reveals that her true intentions was to make Mira construct her tower in the spot where she could offer her a magnificent view as a present. Though the present is welcomed, it is implied that Mira ends up punishing Fiona for the trick.

Abilities
Mira is an accomplished sorceress, with a great arsenal spells to either damage enemies or restore allies. However her biggest asset is the ability to Summon monsters and increase the number of floors to the Flying Tower. It is stated, however, her power comes from the Dark Crystal, so she need to stay close to it.
