Miera
Random Link: 2 new planets have been discovered orbiting Gliese 581. For those of you who want to jump straight away into making Otaku Senshi for them: The guy who discovered the one in the "Goldilocks Zone", Gliese 581g, wants to call it "Zarmina", after his wife.
...Yeah, I'm horribly late. I've been burnt out lately due to numerous things and have found shinier stuff to be distracted by.
Title: Through the Inferno
Writer: xfirexfalconx
Summary: "Rubeus is left for dead, broken and betrayed by the family he served. The mysterious girl who walks through fire, running from her past...and her destiny...could be his greatest enemy. Or could it be that she is something far different...? Please R&R."
Canon: Anime
Rating: 3
Name: Miera
Senshi Title: Not mentioned
Hair: Black, long, held back in a braid
Eyes: Emerald
Unusual Markings/Colorations: A small white scar on her forehead just above the space between her eyes.
Senshi Outfit: Not described
Other Clothing Descriptions:
PJs: "blue, silk kimono-like pajamas"
Saving Rubeus (sailor outfit?): "Her aqua kimono seemed inappropriate for such a hellish scene, fluttering around her in a supernatural wind as she searched."
Possessions: A "midnight-colored" black stone crystal.
Guardians: None
Origin: Her parents, Juuochi (a devout Christian, which is really only mentioned so Miera can go on a semi-annoyed rant about God not coming to help them) and Grace, are dead, possibly from a plane crash if the "eerie feeling" Rubeus gets from looking at a picture of her and her parents standing in front of a plane is any indication. Technically, they are not her parents as the soul of the fetus Grace was pregnant with was not her. The original was "incomplete" and "fractured" and decided that life would be too hard for it. So it called out to her soul, which was in the limbo souls go through before they are reincarnated, and she agreed to merge with it.
Connections to Canon: She saves Rubeus just before his ship self-destructs. Unlike the canon senshi, she is neutral and helps whoever she is "called" to help.
Senshi Moves: None mentioned
Other Special Abilities: She has visions in her dreams (presumably of people she's supposed to help), knows healing magic, and can give visions to others.
Dousojin: A move she uses to teleport her and Rubeus out of the exploding ship.
Annoying Traits: The story is pretty much nothing but Miera doting over the injured Rubeus and telling him her life story.
Comments: Even if she replaced the soul of the original fetus... wouldn't they still be her parents?

"Welcome back to the Realm of the Living."
Rubeus slowly opened one eye, hearing Miera's voice. For a moment, he thought they were in pitch blackness, until he opened the other eye. A paniced thought went through his mind, and carefully he raised his aching arm, touching his face slightly. His skin felt like it was still on fire, and even the small movement sapped his strength, but it confirmed his fears. His left eye could see the small room there were in, and could see that it was daylight. The right eye saw only blackness...it was blind.
"What happened?" he whispered, throat dry and sore. Summoning what little energy he could, he tried to sit up, but whimpered as a stab of agony ripped through his body.
A soft hand touched his forehead, reaching from the now dark half of his vision. "You're badly injured...and you've been out like a light for two days. Please try to keep from moving. My healing magick can't work otherwise."
"Miera..." Rubeus murmured, tensing at her unexpected touch, and the flow of energy that rushed over his senses. "Why are you bothering..."
Minutes passed in a slow, nerve-grinding torture. Her hand never moved, and the soothing wave of cool energy at once relaxing and unsettling. With a sigh, he gave up resisting the healing work, and withing seconds the aching faded into dull, throbbing pain. He nearly wept with relief, and finally, her voice returned to him.
"I help those to who I am called. You may have been an enemy to the Sailor Senshi. But I follow no such rules...I never have."
"So then...you know who I am."
"As surely as I know myself, child of the Dark Moon," she said quietly.
Carefully, he turned his head so that he could see her. Her body glowed a soft blue, radiating from her chest and arm. A mixture of anger, defeat and awe came over him as he looked into her green eyes. They were unblinking, and if her focused, he could barely see a thin, white film over them. Images flashed through his memory...images that she had given to him.
"Trust me," she said...How can I, when every Senshi I met only wanted my death...?
A small smile crossed her face, but it was hollow. "As for what happened...I had used too much energy to teleport to the ship. When I tried to make the orb, it wouldn't go fast enough...and I couldn't form a sheild. A flaming peice of junk got thrown from an explosion, and though the psi field around us slowed it down, it still hit you rather hard...We finally teleported out, and here. I tried to heal you best as I could, with what little power I had left, but..."
They both fell silent, lost in thought. Miera's chest felt tight; he was the only one who knew her secrets, and he was a potential enemy...she cursed herself, and her sympathy. Too often it got her into trouble...and now she was housing a member of the Dark Moon family in her own home. The feeling of anger faded quickly as she felt his hand touch hers. What was he doing...?
What am I doing, he wondered half-heartedly, reaching out to her. She's the enemy...
"Thank you," Rubeus started hesitently, watching her expressions. "You risked your life for mine. And...that is both surprising, and appriciated. I...only hope that we may trust each other, in time."
Miera blinked slowly, her gaze unmoving from the far wall. "...I hope so, as well."
An emotion rippled through him, and Rubeus looked away. His balance between stability and insantiy was teetering enough already. Unconciously, his tumb gently stroked her hand as he cintemplated. Miera felt his touch, and her chest tightened again. Gods, the Fates were sadistic...
