Mirora (Total War)



"Shut up, Mido."

- Mirora to Mido.

Mirora is the leader of the Mudmen of Faron who briefly succeeded Mido as Chief of the Kokiri.

Description
Mirora briefly served as the head Chief of the the Kokiri after Mido's exile from the Forest. Although not quite suited for governance, Mirora's years of experience defending the borders of the Forest made her and ideal general. Mirora was known for her rather short temper, especially for a Kokiri. She preferred to solve problems through force and saw ranged weapons as dishonorable.

History


Gerudo Wars
In 100 AG, the peaceful Kokiri Forest is thrusted into a war as an army of Gohma invades the Deku Tree's Grove from a series of secret passages. Though Kasuto, Mirora and Saria successfully manage to repel the invaders, Saria is killed in the battle and made into a new Sage. Discovering that the current Kokiri Chief, Mido, had led Sulkaris and the Gohma into the Grove, the Great Deku Tree exiles him from the forest and names Mirora his replacement as the new Kokiri Chief. He then orders her to scout the forest to uncover any possible hives that the Gohma established in the forest while Saria convinces the other races of the forest to make an alliance against the Gohma. Mirora is present when the Great Deku Tree assembles the various peoples of the Forest to persuade them of the severity of the Gohma threat. The Lord of the Wolfos, Shamnon, pledges his allegiance and submits to the Kokiri Chief, stating the Wolfos custom of serving as mount for his ally's chief. Mirora hesitates and briefly refuses, though she accepts the offer.

After her failure to take the Deku Tree's Grove, Sulkaris then opts to outright invade the Kokiri Forest with the entirety of her Gohma forces and absorb the new Sage's powers herself. When asked who the new Sage of Forest is, Mido lies to Sulkaris and tells her that the Great Deku Tree named Mirora and not Saria the new Sage. During her invasion Sulkaris kills and absorbs Mirora, reconstructing her body and becoming alive again, though since Mirora is not the new Sage, Sulkaris does not regain her powers and gets quickly subjugated by Kasuto and Saria.

Trivia

 * Mirora is likely heavily inspired by San/Mononoke-Hime from the movie Princess Mononoke.
 * The two "mantis blades" Mirora carries are actually wolfsankers, tools used to construct wolf traps. However, the parts Mirora uses in combat would actually be used to hoist the rest of the trap in trees rather than being used to slice the wolves.
