[edit] Biography

Miakis was born is the Sauronix castle-town, and originally wanted to be one of Sauronix's famed Dragon Cavalry. She cheerfully trained at combat with the other young inhabitants at the time and became friends with Roog and Rahal, who considered her a worthy sparring partner. Craig Laden, the commander of the Dragon Cavalry, seemed to know her father quite well. However, the cavalry rules prohibited women from joining. Seeing her skill, Craig sent Miakis to Sol-Faleena with a recommendation to serve the royal family as a Queen's Knight instead. There, Miakis honed her skills as a powerful fighter and magician.

Perhaps due to her combination of great skill as well as her youth, Miakis was chosen to become Lymsleia's personal bodyguard. A cheerful and affable person, Miakis rapidly became friends with Lymsleia, the Prince, Sialeeds, Lyon, and others.

During the attack on the Sun Palace, she witnesses the killing of Queen Arshtat by Georg's hand, although not the events preceding that. She and Galleon return to escort the Princess away, but are stopped by Alenia, Zahak, and surviving Nether Gate assassins. They surrender rather than risk the Princess's life.

Miakis and Galleon are kept on as Queen's Knights for show, but are mostly used as hostages. Miakis is allowed to continue to comfort the Princess for a time, although she is removed from the position once Gizel Godwin marries Lymsleia. She is sent to Doraat to aid Alenia in its defense, despite her morale as a "Queen's Knight" being extremely low. Miakis makes snippy comments about who betrayed who to Alenia in the process. Extremely depressed about failing in protecting Lymsleia and having nothing left to stand for, she holds on to being a Queen's Knight as best she can by aiding Alenia and Dolph's escape. The Prince duels her, and helps cheer her back up afterward by promising to get the Princess back, giving Miakis a reason to continue onward. Miakis's troops in Doraat all surrender without a fight.

Back at the Sindar Castle, Miakis confronts Georg and accuses him of killing the Queen, which was thought to be a ridiculous Godwin rumor at the time. Georg refuses to answer and leaves. Miakis wonders afterward if this was a contingency of Gizel's; even if she was captured, he knew that she would spread the Georg rumor from a reliable source.

Miakis aids in the attempt to "kidnap" the Queen in the Queen's Campaign, which of course was precisely Lymsleia's plan. The attempt goes awry, but Galleon is captured, and he explains the full truth of Georg's situation and Arshtat's madness. To cover for the injured Lyon, Miakis serves as the Prince's bodyguard afterward. She aids the Prince in requesting the Dragon Cavalry's services, albeit to no avail. She also participates in the search of the Western Ruins.

After Lyon returns to health, Miakis still serves the Prince's cause, and participates in the final march into Sol-Faleena and the Castle showdown with the traitorous Alenia and Zahak. She watches the Prince's final duel with Gizel after helping rescue Lymsleia.

[edit] Trivia

• If the Prince loses the duel with Miakis, oddly enough, Miakis kills the Prince. She doesn't hold back despite succeeding in her "mission" no matter what.
• Miakis is the only person who can match Roog and Rahal back in her hometown.
• Roog seems to have a crush on Miakis, though this isn't confirmed.
• The Queen's Knights were somewhat depopulated after the war with Armes, with Zahak and Galleon being the only surviving original ones. This helps explain why Miakis was taken in so young.
• After she became a Queen's Knight, her parents retired to travel the world. She doesn't know their current whereabouts.
