Character Depth
Here locked away in this deep place, I can reveal all of my secrets, even those I hope Corona, and dear little Kyra never find. I am called Mira Shatterstar, but that isn’t my name. Rather that isn’t the name my human parents gave me.
I was born on August 18, 1587, so was my other. She was the first soul I ever consumed. That is of course the first act, and instinct of any true demon child. It is as natural for us, as crying is to human children, and it is thanks to my other that I have a physical form.
Though I am at present ranked as an imp, I am by nature a jewel demon. I was 2 when I came into my first contact with a gemstone. Even though it was over four hundred years ago, I can still remember it vividly. It was the spring, and I could walk quite well then having gotten in a lot of early growth.
I also had a lot of fun scarring my human mother half to death, by disappearing without notice from our rough home. That day I decided to really scare her good. I ran, as fast as my stubby legs would carry me. I ran down to the shore, it was such a clear day, and the sun was so bright it hurt my eyes. That was when I saw it.
It was glittery like some other spots where the shore was sandy, but different somehow. I picked it up to see it better, a simple piece of quartz. It wasn’t really much, but I have never felt about a gem the way I did that first. It was as though I held all the riches of the world in my hand. The sun brought out all the inner fire this gem had to offer. It was radiant. I had never seen anything like it.
Then I did what any toddler would do. I stuck it in my mouth. Before I even realized it I had swallowed my first gem. I began to grow very hot. My dress suddenly felt very uncomfortable, especially around my rear. I got itchy all over, so I started to scratch. I scratched my clothes to rags.
By the time mother found me, my clothes and I both were in tatters, but my tail had finally sprouted. My human mother wailed, and called me by what I truly was. “Demon, What have you done to my baby?” She shrieked. That was when I consumed my second human soul.
I really didn’t know what I was doing. The thought just popped into my head and I did it. My human mother’s death was quick and aside from her grief fairly painless. A winter illness had left most of the village weak. Mother was no exception, and seeing the true nature of her “daughter”, had broken her spirit. It was almost too easy to slip and devour the rest.
A preternatural hunger filled me. I glutted that desire. One clever fellow, was smarter than the others, he tried to save himself by distracting me with something shiny. Luckily for him the diamond in his former family heirloom did appease me. Seeing that glitter distracted me, and something else seemed to awaken at that time.
A pleading deep within me to stop the death, to stop the madness, cried out over and over. “Haven’t you had enough?” she screamed. “Aren’t you satisfied yet?”
“Enough?” I responded? “What’s that?” With each soul I had learned more and more, I was quite fluent now, but so was the voice.
“Do you want the ring?” The man asked.
“Yes, give it to me now! I demanded.
The man looked shocked for a moment then smiled. “No, no. You must promise me something first.”
“What?” I asked. I really wanted that ring. It was much prettier than the little uncut stone had been, and I was getting impatient.
“You must promise to spare myself and these others.” He said.
“Why don’t I just kill you and take it? I said. The voice inside me instantly rebelled. I stamped her down.
“Because…” And then he stepped aside to reveal what I had not noticed. One of the other men had been busy carving something into a tree. What I read filled me with an indescribable horror. It wasn’t until much later that I learned why.
This man knew my father, my true father. He had said nothing before, nor did we speak afterwards. I never learned his name, but if any man is to be truly blamed for Kyra’s condition it is probably him.
I glared for a time. Then I spoke the words I had known from the moment he said the word promise. “So let the agreement be written, so let the contract between us be sealed. Your lives in exchange for the ring, but you must leave this place, tell no one what has happened here, and take nothing with you.”
“Agreed young demoness.” He said tossing me the ring. My other breathed a loud sigh of relief, one echoed by me, though for different reasons. I don’t know what happened to those survivors. It is very possible that one of them wrote about me, breaking our contract, though I don’t believe so. I think it is more likely that at least one of them found their way down to Oranbega.
I had other matters to see about. I now had my true father’s true name. I intended to employ that knowledge. I sat for a long time gazing at that diamond ring. The more I looked at it the clearer what I was, and had to do became. The order, the form, the very structure of it, was so at odds with myself it made a wonderful match.
When I summoned my true father he took me back to the Netherworld with him, and my training began in earnest. I had passed my first test, the first step on the road to becoming the Shatterstar.

Mira Shatterstar: Hmm I just seem to have really bad luck with these things.
Kyra DaemonStar: I'm sorry.
Mira Shatterstar: Big monsters don't like me *sigh*. And I don't know why. I like them.
Kyra DaemonStar: Fraidy cats?
Mira Shatterstar Will I ever meet the monster of my dreams...
Mira Shatterstar: I don't know.
Kyra DaemonStar: *laughs* I bet they are. I mean I'm sure they've heard about Cerberus being your pet.
Mira Shatterstar: Why would they be scared of little old me? What? That is just a wild rumor.
Kyra DaemonStar: Leaf told me you had this hell dog... with three heads.
Mira Shatterstar: I have no idea where you heard such a thing. Don't trust Leaf, Kyra. It's a wolf and it only has two heads. You know Leaf's not to great on details.
Kyra DaemonStar: I don't... but he was really looking all lecherous as he told the story of getting his tail bitten after you trained his dog.
He said he gave you Cerberus after that. I figured it had to be true cause Leaf never tells a story that is making him look bad.
Mira Shatterstar: Yes but he also isn't above changeing the facts to make himself look more important. Yes I trained a hell hound.
Kyra DaemonStar:
Mira Shatterstar: It was just a puppy.
Kyra DaemonStar: ???
Mira Shatterstar: Think about it Kyra. If Leafblighter got bitten by Cerberus well no big deal its a powerful hell hound right?
Kyra DaemonStar Mira and leaf are sooo confusing sometimes...
Mira Shatterstar: But If he got bitten by a little hell puppy called Discord? How does that make him look. It was his own fault anyway.
Kyra DaemonStar: uh... um... I'm confused.
Mira Shatterstar: I tried to warn him you know. Oh alright. It was after I got back from my training.
Kyra DaemonStar: ok
Mira Shatterstar: Well one of my first training trips anyway.
Kyra DaemonStar: Discord huh?
Mira Shatterstar: And on my way home I run across this little hell puppy.
Kyra DaemonStar: what you doing with a cute puppy anyway?
Mira Shatterstar: I'm getting to that. It wasn't puppy training I was doing. It was imp training.
Kyra DaemonStar: Oh!!! But um... is that like school for imps?
Mira Shatterstar More like school of hard knockes, but yes something like that. Only it's more of a self study. Have you ever heard of students of life?
Kyra DaemonStar: no
Mira Shatterstar: Or ummm Road Scholars? It's a journey to learn about the things other people really can't teach you in a class or in a book.
Kyra DaemonStar: um... I've heard of students who study at home it's called home school imaginative no?
Mira Shatterstar: hehe. Well I think some people even here do it inbetween high school and college.
Kyra DaemonStar man this is boring... I really do hate watching the clocks.
Kyra DaemonStar: *laughs* No that's called working retail
Mira Shatterstar: humm retail? Anyway. Oh I know, think of it like Martial arts training. Like you see in the movies.
Kyra DaemonStar: yeah retail... like at gas stations and mcdonalds
Mira Shatterstar: You've seen those right?
Kyra DaemonStar: oh, you mean all that cha cha chaa chaa stuff? Jeez that's dumb. You have to learn that?
Mira Shatterstar: Well not that but it's kinda like the wandering students who return from a journey. Imps aren't nearly as disciplined as those movie guys.
Kyra DaemonStar: Oh you mean like Ranma 1/2? Where they wander to this hot springs to train?
Mira Shatterstar: Umm Yeah kind of like that but more like the other guy who goes up to the mountains. Thanks for letting me read those by the way.
Kyra DaemonStar: That was funny! *Laughs loudly* Dan... he's this guy from school... he showed me that show once... it's funny. Hopposai is my favorite character.. he's so funny! hopping around and stealing underwear from bathouses
Mira Shatterstar: Yeah he remined me of Master Leaf.
Kyra DaemonStar: Oh no problem... hehehe.. mom gets me stuff like that to make up for "lost quality time" Yeah he does doesn't he?
Mira Shatterstar: Oh. Well your Mom is busy. Yep. So anyway I just get back to the Netherworld.
Kyra DaemonStar: yeah
Mira Shatterstar: And there is this puppy about to be stepped on by a Minotaur. I'm tired as all get out but I also figured it would be a good chance to test what I learned.
So right as he's about to squish it I shout at him "I wouldn't if I were you." That's as good as double dog daring someone in the Netherworld.
Sure enough he stops and turns to glare at me.He smiles and says "Or what little mischif runner, What's going to happen?" Then he stepped on it.
So I shouted. I'm totally going to kick your mangy tail, horn head. Kyra if you ever fight a minotar know that they have two very vulnerable spots. One is the nose and the other is the tail.
This big oaf was off balance cause he was standing on struggeling puppy. Well a quick leap and a few blops to the nose later this hulking brute is on the ground and I took one of his horns as a spoil of
combat. But I also have a squished two headed puppy stareing at me. I felt.. umm well I took the thing home and patched it up.
I figured if it could survive having a 2000 pound monster step on it, it had to be worth something. That's what I told my Dad anyway. A two headed puppy eats like a horse though, there was no way Dad would let me keep it around without it being useful. So I decied to start teaching it a few tricks. Simple stuff really. How to jinx doors so they would slam shut and lock, barking and attacking on command and without command. You know simple hell hound stuff.
Well Leafblighter hears about it and has to come snooping around. But he doesn't just come up to the door and ask to see what I've been doing oh no not him. He marches in throws the door open and demands my presence at once.
Kyra DaemonStar: *snickers* Typical Leaf
Mira Shatterstar: Yeah well one of the things I had trained Discord to attack without command on was a door opening without being knocked on first. But you know how big Leaf is. Well I had trained Discord to try to leap up at a bigger opponent. It didn't work for a puppy but I knew as he grew...
Kyra DaemonStar: hehehe...
Mira Shatterstar: Well anyway. We have a rack next to the door in our, um home.
Kyra DaemonStar: rack?
Mira Shatterstar: It has a shelf that Discord was able to reach.
Kyra DaemonStar: like gun rack? what do imps need with guns?
Mira Shatterstar: Yes a weapon rack. Oh no no guns. We wouldn't keep a weapon that can be so easily tampered with, and it's more of a display piece now anyway, old family heirlooms and such.
So Discord gets up there and knocks a buch of stuff off. I heard about that later let me tell you. But from there he jumped to the closest place on Leaf he could reach to attack.
So there Leaf is when I show up spinning around in a circle with one puppy head clamped onto his tail and the other barking to wake the dead.
Kyra DaemonStar: *Bursts into laughter*
Mira Shatterstar: They came over and complained about being woken up too, and well that's how I got my doggie. He's still back home. So did that answer your questions?
Kyra DaemonStar: Uh.. even if it didn't it was entertaining.
