Name: Amira Mihrimah 'Miri' Al Khalifa
Description: Miri has a wiry build, with some noticeable muscles though her weight has a tendency to fluctuate. Her hazel-green hair and irises were bioengineered by her father, who liked the colour green. There is further evidence of meddling that hints at the multiple failures during the attempt to create the 'perfect' daughter. While eerily beautiful by most standards, at little over five feet she is far shorter than most people on Sol - despite the lower gravity of Hadi. Her light brown skin is smooth but prone to outbreaks of eczema in the polluted environment of Sol. While the mods placed significant emphasis on traits that would hinder assassination attempts (eg; poisoning), it has also given her a stupendously large sweet tooth, to the dismay of her yellowed, but otherwise intact teeth. They have been subjected to multiple treatments to prevent decay but her waist has ballooned multiple times after high-stress glucose binges.
Homeworld: Hadi
Affiliation: Hadi Emirate Ambassadorial Mission (ostensibly) / various Sol rebel movements
Occupation: Diplomat / Student / Barista / Princess
Bio:
A daughter of Emir Yunus II's second wife Rufaida, Miri was sent offworld with her mother to 'oversee' a 'secret diplomatic mission' (ie; exiled) as a result of both familial machinations and a doomed attempt to sign a protectorate deal that would bring the Emirate out of poverty. Instead, the Union attempted to gain access to the planet's gate and the rebellion began sweeping the planet mere months after entering University. Sympathising with the rebels, Miri has bounced between various groups under multiple pseudonyms, repeatedly leaving either due to having her cover blown or various forms of infighting.
While Hadi's scientific advances are mostly stolen in some shape or form, her family had significant access to genetic manipulation. Her unique appearance is the result of extensive genome engineering, though errors in the process left her with a number of quirks. This quickly set her apart from siblings that didn't receive the procedure and later, more successful attempts. Her childhood on Hadi was frustrating as a result and she found the best way to deal with bullying from the other children of the Emir was to fight back. Being an 'imperfect' daughter, she felt both judged and estranged despite an awareness of her status.
Rufaida was assigned to Sol while Miri was twelve and her childhood education was a mix of private tutoring and private schooling. She was mostly oblivious to the rebel underground until her teen years, after they infiltrated her highschool. For three years, there was increasing tension among the staff and students alike, thanks to families both for and against the movement. She spent a month in detention (among other recriminations) after one such incident where she masterminded the graffiti of the entire school in slogans and breaking the nose of the son of a General. She became bold and highly energetic, with a seemingly limitless curiosity that can be trying on the patience of others when something has her undivided attention.
Working part-time at a coffee shop to supplement her allowance, her studies have been divided between her interests. Pressured into pursuing biological sciences ahead of social science, she stubbornly fitted as much political theory as she could in her schedule. With conflict emerging, she saw an opportunity to make a name for herself and possibly return to Hadi one day with more than just a chip on her shoulder.
Resources:
Exosuit - Custom-built for her size, this powered exoskeleton was a gift for her 18th birthday, designed for terrestrial and limited zero-G use. While not as powerful or bulky as combat suits, it has been carefully looked-after and is far less cumbersome.
Bioengineering - Outside of the advantages and disadvantages previously stated, she is hypermobile and has superior senses of smell, sight and taste - the latter being responsible for her unfortunate sweet tooth.
Railgun - Learning to shoot at a scarily young age, Miri is a skilled marksman though lacking in formal military training. The gun isn't technically hers, but 'loaned' by members of the Mission for her protection and kept in multiple pieces for greater concealment.
Safehouse - Left behind by the colonists, a large compound in Oman serves as the hidden base of the Mission with access strictly limited to its members.
Contacts:
Rufaida Yunus - Miri's mother, leader of the Hadi mission on Sol and a trained physician; outspoken in private, but an efficient political operator in public. Rufaida's influence has encouraged her daughter to be assertive and confident and while prone to bouts of passive-aggressive friction, they still get along rather well. Her resources have been exploited numerous times to bail Miri out of trouble, usually through agents monitoring her actions and generally without her noticing. There have been slip-ups however and Miri's increasingly aware of the limits to her freedom.
Roy Robertson - Best friend and co-designer of her exosuit, Roy has been in contact with her for several years, though they were separated for many of them due to her family's travels. They were reunited at high school and have been mostly inseparable since His obsession with engineering and robots and related familial connections (plus Rufaida's covert funding) resulted in the suit. Despite multiple attempts to help him find a boyfriend, Miri has had little success.
Maryam al-Rashid - Undercover agent and part-time teacher, responsible for Miri's safety and assisting her education. Strained at times by Maryam's high expectations and Miri's antics, they nonetheless have some rapport.
