Miriam was sheltered by and dependent upon her mother most of her life. Born with both reproductive parts, it was an anomaly among the proud Penumbra. Her mother received her lovingly if not egregiously, due to either side of family having difficulty accepting the child. Miriam grew up aware of this, but her life with mother and father was ideal for any child. Gifted in song and music, the artes were a daily part of her life and the artisan and theatre districts her favorite places to visit.

At only the age of twelve, her world became faced with the dark reality lying just outside their household; the Gravuzie plague shadowed the black city for many years and never effected her family directly until that fateful day. Upon returning home with her mother, both were immediately attacked and restrained by none other than her father and elderfather. The girl had never noticed the steady change in her father, but the madness they endured went beyond the animalistic savagery it crippled the victims minds with. This was just as barbaric if not worse in nature, being calculated ritualistically.

Both were assaulted periodically until Miriam's psyche broke, allowing a personality to be implanted as well as a powerful spirit. Before anymore could be done, Cachusa awakened to a form lost to the Penumbra, killing her husband and step-father, but rescuing Miriam. Fleeing Kolonia shortly before returning to seek aid from her family, Miriam and she were taken in by Adriana, Miriam's great eldermother and progenitor of the current Arcturus bloodline. During their recovery mentally and physically, Miriam discovered herself to be with child and fled the mountain hollow.

It would not be for many months until Cachusa, Ilinca and Adriana found her again, already given birth and discarding it. This is when the personality, Vikotoria took control for nearly a decade. During that time, they were sent without Kolonia to elude whomever among the elders of Kolonia was behind the incident, if not the spread of the plague. Sheltered within Lumas Interlo by House Dianisia, allies of House Arcturus, Miriam/Viktoria were most stable during this time.

Ill fate followed again, with Valdmir Blair, figure behind the Red Council, discovered her in Dianisia's care. Ebrem Castle was attacked and all but Viktoria, Cachusa and Amunda Dianisia escaping. With her only friend leaving them for revenge, while the pair went into the wilds again. Fortune came to them when bandits stumbled upon their cursed wood with treasure stolen from the Duke of that land. Taking it for themselves and killing the Duke's knights, they disguised themselves in Huema society.

Finding themselves in Isalme, this is when Miriam met Rema DiBesto, a Huema girl that would become a true friend and companion. Sharing not just their gain with the struggling family, Miriam taught Rema magic, literacy and the artes of various cultures. To fulfill Rema's dream of becoming a knight, she also taught her swordplay learned at her time in Ebrem. Once Miriam learned Rema's secret concerning her father, Miriam (or Viktoria) was the last to see him alive.

Having made Rema an Umbra, a half-Penumbra through a forbidden blood ritual, eventually her mother Magnolia as well through Cachusa, the families journeyed Catheel together of many decades. Their joy and adventures came to an end when Marteen, a knight having survived their battle long ago, became a Hunter and survived on the blood of Penumbra, returned for revenge. Parting with her friend, Miriam and Cachusa prepared themselves for an entire order of Penumbra Hunters.

Drawing by itself looks quite amazing. But the thing that I really like was red eyes on black/white image

Do you have all this stuff written down in some kind of notebook? It would be hell to keep track of any of this otherwise.

BluMiu responds:

More so on my computer in the form of a timeline, notes and bios. I used to write it all in notebooks, but I ran out, pages smeared over years, ended up torn. Digital preservation :) Still a pain trying to hunt down something specific, though.
