Dameirra L'vyre

The youngest daughter of an esteemed noble Vaani house, Dameirra grew up in privilege in the Bubbled City of Albaharen. Servants saw to her and her five elder siblings’ (three brothers, two sisters) every need. Her father, Corus, was a well-regarded general, and her mother, Shalryn, was a respected member of the ruling council. Her two eldest brothers, twins Molos and Khovas, and one of his sisters, Aslyn, followed their father into the military, and her other brother, Varas, and other sister, Marlyn, joined their mother in politics. Dameirra  adored her mother, respected her father, and of all her siblings, she was closest to her brother Khovas and her sister Marlyn.

Whether they liked it or not, Corus saw to it that his children were well-trained in the art of fighting, and Shalryn made sure they all had proper training in political, ethical, and moral issues. It quickly became apparent that although she was not the strongest, Dameirra was quick, both physically and mentally. No matter how hard her father pushed her, Dameirra clearly disliked physical confrontation, instead choosing to outwit her opponents using her wits.

One day, while training, Corus pushed a little too hard. The opponent he chose for Dameirra greatly outclassed her, and Corus had instructed him to not hold back. At first, Dameirra avoided the brunt of the blows, but she made a mistake, taking the full force of an attack, knocking her down. Corus angrily ordered her opponent to continue the attack, and a flurry of blows rained down on the young Vaani. As she lay there succumbing to defeat she vowed to always have the upperhand in a fight and would design a suit so strong that none could oppose her.

Things became strained with her father, who detested her weakness, but was ordered by higher-ups to find a way to use Dameirra. When her suit was discovered by her father he finally snapped. He called her weak and unworthy of her family name.She was shamed.

Life continued this way for Dameirra for some time, until things unexpectedly took a tragic turn. One day during a meeting of the full council, a terrorist attack took the lives of her mother and her brother Varas. The lone attacker released a deadly poison into the council chambers, and through magical means kept it from spreading to the surrounding area. Though the attacker was a Vaani woman, the poison she used was not one familiar to the underwater dwellers, meaning it could only have come from the surface. The Vanni kingdom was on good terms with the surface realms, so there was no clue as to the identity of those responsible.

The family was devastated, Dameirra especially. She raged through the uninhabited parts of the surrounding area, blasting things with her inventions, causing great swaths of devastation. Her anger spent, she collapsed into a sobbing heap. When she pulled herself together, she went to her father, and asked that she be the one to go to the surface to discover the source of the attack. Her speed, stealth, and especially her inventions might be the best combination to discover the villain behind this plot. Corus initially refused, not wanting Dameirra to reveal too much about herself and potentially bring more harm to the family name, but Dameirra was unrelenting, and Corus eventually gave in. It was decided that Dameirra would go to the surface world, using the cover of going as an ambassador to strengthen ties between the sea kingdom and those on the surface. All the while adding more inventions to her arsenal to employ upon the person whom destroyed those she loved most.
