== Biography ==
=== Early Years ===
When she was six years old, she was kidnapped by a mercenary group hired by Frankia. A pack of winter wolves picked off the remaining mercenaries, leaving the young Mera unconscious to freeze in the snow. Tharanax was flying above,and saw the wreckage, swooping down to investigate. He recognised the little girl, her frosted skin a pale blue, and her blood cold. He recognized too the crest that the mercenaries bore, remembering that he had shown mercy to their leader previously. Tharanax gave his heart to the dying princess, his form shattering like ice into a thousand snowflakes. Her hair turned silver, and the colour returned to her face. Only a few minutes later she was found by Captain Hjalmar and his scouts who were sent to chase down the mercenaries. But they were not the only ones. Three Frost Giants had heard the battle between the wolves and the mercenaries, and had come to fill their stomachs. Almost the entire ranging party were killed, and had Hjalmar not been there, all of them would certainly have died. Mera began to regain consciousness in time to witness the bravery, valour and skill of Captain Hjalmar as he slew the final giant almost single handed. She would later appoint him as Hand to the Queen and General of her armies.
