Mira

**Mira** is one of the main antagonists of the game, and the person in charge of the criminal organization Mira Corporation.

## Background

Mira was born with little money; her once prosperous family had fallen from being a major company to complete ruin. With stories of the family's past, Mira grew up with boundless talent and ambition. She quickly learned that power was the only thing that mattered in the world, and money was the fastest route to acquiring it. Charismatic enough to gain trust - and heartless enough to take advantage of it, Mira quickly established her place in the region as a ruthless businesswoman, eventually transforming her small homegrown business into a powerful corporation known as Mira Corporation. Despite her successes however, her lust for power was unquenched.

As a child of the region she was told the stories of the First King of Razus. The region had a cruel ruler that used the power of Legendary Pokémon to subjugate and possibly even mind control the people of the region. Before his death, the King supposedly sealed the Pokémon in a hidden place in the region. However that was all they really were; just stories. At some point in time she met Professor X, who informed Mira of his theory. He believed the stories were real, and it got him kicked out of the scientific community. At an earlier time Mira had acquired something which, combined with the Professor's words, now convinced her wholly of the story's legitimacy. Professor X quickly strikes a deal with her. Mira would provide funding and manpower to the Professor, allowing him to awaken the Legendary Pokémon (thus proving his theories right), in return Mira would gain complete power over the region. Mira accepted the deal, seeing it as a great opportunity. In truth, Mira cared little about the monetary reward. She was more interested in the "gifts" that the ruler used to dominate the people, to use them for her own evil ends. She does not fully trust Professor X but believes herself to be capable of outmaneuvering any deception.

In order to aid her and Professor X's plans, Mira recruited many thugs and delinquents, promising them riches beyond compare in exchange for their help, as well as four Admins who oversee the grunts and operations more closely. Thus, the shady underground side of Mira Corporation was formed, an organization with no reluctance or scruples to do anything to achieve their goal of wealth and power.

## Personality

Mira seems cool and calm, but is secretly sociopathic. She has a desire to dominate/show superiority, and believes she has the right to do so, resulting in arrogance.

She appears classy, calm, and in control most of the time. Nothing phases her, everything is on schedule, and you’re never quite sure if she's toying with you. After several of her plans are foiled, her facade begins to unravel. She is cruel and bitter to her underlings, and does not tolerate failure. The thought of her failing shatters everything she knows, so she deflects and blames the world around her instead.

As she gets close to her goal, she becomes giddy with excitement, letting her mind run wild with thoughts of how much power she can get. Likewise, when her plans are finally ruined, she will suffer a "villainous breakdown", unable to accept that she has failed.

## During the Game

The player will meet Mira early in the plot, but they will not know of her true identity. She will simply appear as a haughty rich person. As the game continues, she will be revealed to be the leader of the villainous Team that the player fights against, and her true nature will leak out bit by bit. At the end of the story, Mira will show her true personality, and conclude her transformation from a carefully constructed persona as a calm and classy tycoon to a power-hungry megalomaniac. Post-game, Mira may be explored and developed more.
