=== Early Life and Conception ===

Mêra's journey began long before her birth, as her mother, [[Lesèa ~~Veazra~~ Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa]], struggled for over three centuries to conceive. The Valorèin lifespan, while long, does not guarantee easy conception. With the large gaps between fertility cycles and Lesèa's inability to bear a child, [[Lesèa ~~Veazra~~ Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa]] had begun to think her line would end and the prophecy surrounding her lineage would die.

Mêra's journey began long before her birth, as her mother, [[Lesèa Vêzra Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa]], struggled for over three centuries to conceive. The Valorèin lifespan, while long, does not guarantee easy conception. With the large gaps between fertility cycles and Lesèa's inability to bear a child, [[Lesèa Vêzra Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa]] had begun to think her line would end and the prophecy surrounding her lineage would die.

* '''The Role of Volina, the Court Alchemist:''' After decades of frustration and heartbreak, the Court Alchemist, [[Voliina Qyren|Volina]], devised a solution. Drawing upon ancient Qin'harin knowledge, Volina prepared a potent fertility agent that utilized rare herbs and alchemical processes. This old remedy finally enabled Lesèa to conceive, and Mêra was born as the long-awaited heir to the [[First Valorèin Kingdom]].

=== The Death of Queen Lesèa ===

Mêra's entire world shattered in her twenties when her mother, [[Lesèa ~~Veazra~~ Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa]], was attacked beyond the [[Royal Grounds]]. The entity left a festering black wound on Lesèa's arm. The corruption spread rapidly, twisting her flesh until her body could no longer endure it.

After the untimely death of Queen Lesèa, Mêra inherited not only her mother's position as heir but also an artifact that would shape her destiny. '''The Dero'bôkar:''' A powerful, dream-based device allowing telepathic memory sharing. This artifact was instrumental in helping Mêra and Merik confront Merik past and heal from his trauma.

Line 48:

She sought ''escape'' through reckless behavior, wandering the city drunk and isolating herself from the court. Even as the news of [[Merik Teslek|Merik's]] war path worsened, she '''refused to grieve properly''', choosing rage and numbness over healing.

Her reckless state horrified her family. Her grandparents, [[Ig'nar ~~Veazra~~|King Ig'nar]] and [[Kêta Pakovich ~~Veazra~~|Queen Kêta]], ''intervened'', sending her off-world to a [[Qin'harin]] healer, a woman known for '''spiritual rebirth rituals''' and healing.

The [[Qin'harin]] Sanctuary was a place of rebirth and healing. Mêra arrived '''poisoned''' by alcohol and grief. They drew the poison from her skin, as [[Valorèin]] excrete waste from their skin. Once they had purged the poison, she was ''physically fine'', but her soul was fractured.

Line 106:

=== The Vulgromiis & Breaking Tradition ===

Mêra was turned to the [[Vulgromiis]] by her [[Kêta Paakovich ~~Veazra~~|grandmother]] and [[Ig'nar ~~Veazra~~|grandfather]], a rare plant capable of suppressing [[The Curse (Valorèin)|The Curse]]. Consuming it came at a price—it was vile beyond words, causing intense nausea, paranoia, and delirium.

During this time, Mêra ''boldly rejected'' taboos surrounding courtship and physical affection, embracing her love for Merik even before their binding. Traditional [[Valorèin Courtship]] forbade physical contact before bonding. Yet, as she and Merik grew closer, she began to challenge this restraint. The first time they truly touched, the air between them cracked with tension—their ancestors would have been ''frothing'' at the transgression. It was also [[Merik Teslek|Merik]] and her belief, that somehow, their ancestors were celebrating—the thirteen-[[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|Lethurèan-years]] apart saving themselves for one another.

Line 152:

Grief consumed her. She tried to ''heal him for over an hour'', reciting every incantation she knew, not even the [[Element of Life]] healed him. His body did not respond. She wailed over his lifeless form for ''hours'', unable to process that he was truly gone. Her pain was so deep that she took her [[Ûk]], a sacred blade, and prepared to end her own life, believing she could not live in a world without her [[Merik Teslek|Merik]].

Before she could deliver the fatal blow his presence beyond the veil spoke, as if he were calling out to her. The golden glow of the afterlife flickered around her, and she heard '''[[Lesèa ~~Veazra~~ Ûrlek|her mother]]''' and '''[[Merik Teslek|Merik's]]''' voices speaking to her from beyond. She reached out, but before she could cross over, something called her back to the world of the living. [[Sherok]] appeared and retrieved '''[[Merik Teslek|Merik's]]''' body.

'''[[Merik Teslek|Merik's]]''' ''soul'' did not leave her entirely. Their [[Soul-Tether]] remained intact, its golden strands lingering between them. She ''felt him'', sensed his thoughts, and saw him through her ''dreams and visions'', she knew he was not gone forever.

Line 159:

Against all odds, [[Merik Teslek|Merik]] was ''restored to life''. The [[First-Flames]], by the will of the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]], intervened. After she was well recovered, she was visited by Friends and Family who were acting suspicious.

He emerged ''clad in white'', bearing the scars of his death but alive once more. When she saw him, she touched his face in disbelief before she collapsed into his arms, overwhelmed by the disbelief.

Line 199:

* '''[[Merik Teslek]]:''' Mêra's sworn lifemate and partner in destiny. Their bond, tested by war and separation, became a symbol of enduring love and mutual growth.

* '''[[Zûrik Ûrlek|King Zûrik Ûrlek]]:''' Mêra's father, a wise but physically weakened ruler whose connection to Queen Lesèa's spirit inspired her journey.

* '''[[Lesèa ~~Veazra~~ Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa Ûrlek]] (Deceased):''' Mêra's mother, whose guidance from beyond death and inheritance of the Dero'bôkar shaped Mêra's role as the Chosen Heroine.

* '''[[Lesèa Vêzra Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa Ûrlek]] (Deceased):''' Mêra's mother, whose guidance from beyond death and inheritance of the Dero'bôkar shaped Mêra's role as the Chosen Heroine.

* '''The Free Species:''' Mêra's leadership extended beyond her own people, inspiring unity among the diverse species of Lethurèa.

* '''[[Volina Qyren]]:''' The Court Alchemist who helped [[Lesèa ~~Veazra~~ Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa]] conceive through the use of an ancient Qin'harin fertility agent, enabling Mêra's birth and ensuring the royal lineage. She also provided the [[Vulgromiis]] that allowed Mêra and [[Merik Teslek|Merik]] time to train, and allowed them to bond appropriately before their [[The Binding (Valorèin)|Binding]].
