Mykia

Mykia is a brilliant presence within the Royal Court, her scales marked in bold crimson stripes that shimmer against her polished gold underbelly. A creature of celebration and spectacle, she has built her reputation on elegance, charm, and her eye for detail. Every movement seems rehearsed, every word purposeful, and she thrives in the vibrant heart of social gatherings. Mykia is rarely seen without ruby jewelry or ornate red silks, and her attire is often considered the cutting edge of fashion within the clan. She is always prepared for a grand entrance.

She serves as the clan’s Court Aesthetician and Director of Ceremonies, organizing decor for major events, seasonal festivals, and diplomatic receptions. It is said that Mykia can transform even the most barren cavern into a setting worthy of nobility. She oversees stylists, crafters, and performance troupes, ensuring every detail aligns with the overall theme of a given celebration. Though she holds no military position, she is highly respected for her organizational influence and ability to sway the morale of the clan through artful presentation and courtly experience.

While Mykia maintains a carefully composed public image, those closest to her, including Suki and Melusina, know she is fiercely loyal and surprisingly pragmatic when the situation demands. She is especially fond of honeyed fruits, rare silks, and anything crafted from ruby or crimson-hued gems. Her chambers are filled with rich tapestries, floral arrangements, and an ever-rotating collection of perfumes from allied clans.

Her constant companion is a Ruby Webwing named Javelle, a clever and expressive creature with an eye for sparkle. Javelle is often spotted nesting in Mykia’s wardrobe or inspecting gemstones with an almost obsessive interest. Though small, Javelle has an uncanny ability to detect flaws in gemstones and textiles, making them a valuable companion during Mykia’s elaborate preparations.

Mykia has yet to take a mate, although she entertains conversation with a few suitors and takes great delight in courtly intrigue. While she is not one to seek deep bonds quickly, she does watch the clan’s young with interest and has taken several under her wing to tutor in etiquette, fashion, and public speaking.
