Mira
Princess Miralai of the Naraq Deepwater Clan
“The Silent Depth” • “The Pressure Beneath the Ice”
Overview
Mira is a waterbender from the Naraq Deepwater Clan, a hidden tribe that resides between and beneath massive icebergs in the polar regions. Raised in an environment where water exists in still, enclosed depths rather than open flow, she developed a rare sub-discipline of waterbending known as pressure bending.
Appearance
Mira has pale, porcelain skin characteristic of albinism, with long white hair often styled in elaborate traditional arrangements adorned with gold ornaments. Her eyes are a muted reddish-violet, framed by long lashes and subtle red pigment beneath them. Her overall presence is quiet, refined, and unsettlingly composed.
Personality
Soft-spoken and highly reserved, Mira rarely raises her voice or displays outward emotion. She is observant, calculating, and difficult to read, maintaining a constant sense of control over herself and her surroundings. Beneath this stillness lies intense, tightly suppressed emotion, rage, grief, and loyalty, that she channels into her bending rather than expressing openly.
Bending Style — Pressure Bending
Mira practices a sub-discipline of waterbending that abandons flow entirely, focusing instead on compression and force density. Rather than moving large volumes of water, she manipulates thin layers of moisture, within the air, the environment, and the body itself, to create localized pressure zones.
immobilizes opponents by making movement feel impossibly heavy, as if they’re sinking beneath unseen weight
restricts breathing by compressing the chest, forcing shallow, strained breaths without ever removing air
delivers attacks as sudden inward force—more like being crushed than struck
relies on minimal motion, where even the smallest gesture produces disproportionate impact
Her bending isn’t explosive, it’s inevitable.
There are no big waves, no warning, no visible strike.
Opponents don’t realize what’s happening until their body stops responding, until their limbs slow, their breath shortens, and the space around them begins to feel… wrong.
Origin
The Naraq Deepwater Clan lives in subsurface glacial caverns and iceberg channels, where still water and structural pressure define survival. Their culture emphasizes restraint, silence, and control, discouraging emotional expression to prevent instability in their environment. Mira’s abilities are considered an extreme evolution of these principles.
Role
Mira serves as the primary combatant of a group, relying on precision, control, and psychological pressure rather than overt force. Her encounters with other benders often leave them disoriented, slowed, or unable to act before they understand what is happening.
Notable Trait
Mira does not overpower her opponents, she removes their ability to fight back.
