Mikaela Myrmorn de Atharia

Mikaela Myrmorn is the emperor of Atharia. He is the only son of the Empress Mother Aisha.

Upon Aisha’s relinquishing of the throne, Mikaela inherited the title of his mother.

He marries Vohellan-Inean noblewoman Calista Corvina, sparking much controversy.

He is one of the POV characters in Devotion.

Appearance

Mikaela is described to have extreme similarity to his blood mother, Aisha. He has dark hair, red eyes, and pale skin. His ears are pointed.

Mikaela was born as a female. It was said that the young prince shared such an uncanny resemblance to Aisha during his youth.

Personality

As a prince, Mikaela was said to be charismatic and charming. Many said he lived for the attention of others and basked in the glory of his title. Despite this, he was neither boastful or prideful; instead, he preferred to be coddled and was rather childish.

Growing up into the young sir of the family, Mikaela became rebellious. He frequently disobeyed his blood mother’s orders and would disappear for hours, indulging himself in ‘gods-know-what.’ But even with his constant disobedience, the prince was said to tuck his tail between his legs the moment he truly infuriated Aisha. Aisha was said to be the only one able to ‘control’ the buckwild youth.

Upon coming of age, Mikaela groomed himself into a pristine young man and grew more conscious of his public image.

History

Background

Mikaela, being the only son of Aisha Myrmorn and Lilith Yohan for a hundred years, was disciplined immensely.

As a boy, Mikaela would be kept occupied by the command of his blood mother, throwing him into his studies. However, he was more interested in going out and socializing rather than reading history and fine literature. He would run from his governess, disappear from scheduled tutor sessions, and would instead play with his friend Calista.

Aisha only grew more strict as the boy proved himself to be mischievous. At times, she’d be harsh and would not allow Mikaela to meet with his friends until he finished three-days worth of studies. Lilith, on the other hand, would monitor her son with her All Seeing Eye to see where he had disappeared off to.

Being raised in a rather strict household only caused the boy to rebel more. By the time he had become a teenager, he would be regularly severely scolded by Aisha due to his troublemaking. Aisha would make the young prince go around the palace and apologize to all nobles he had inconvenienced by bowing, humbling the boy.

After years had passed and the boy-prince became a man, Mikaela matured and mellowed out. Though he had outgrown his troublemaking tendencies, he was rather quick-witted and is fast to retort or say something cheeky.
