Meirosa, the Ferroshifter

Meirosa, the Ferroshifter, is a shapeshifter/controller character in War of Champions. She is the first shapeshifter character in War of Champions and can use her transformations to swap play styles quickly in game.

## Lore

Mary, daughter of King Rishaz, heard about his death by the blade of Nevera and began studying a magic unlike anything seen before on the land of Fahrlend. Ferromancy, or the manipulation and magical art of metals corrupted Mary, driving her to the point of insanity. Her obsession with getting revenge on Nevera, and most importantly, Numana, the man behind the overthrow of Shiramar, brought her into contact with the Haronim and Siritas. Siritas promised her a better future, renaming her Meirosa, and forcing her to master her craft of ferromancy. However, her mastery continued to manipulate her perception of reality, eventually turning her into a body of churning metal herself. Her ability to manipulate her own form has allowed her to fight for the Haronim against those who speak against it, acting as a right-hand woman to Siritas.
