"Here girl! C'mere girl!" - Mika and her loyal wolf companion Moro-Maie

"RRrrr ARGrrrr" - Moro-Maie and her oblivious half-elf companion Mika

At a Glance
Mika was a Half-Elf adventurer who came into her own during the Age of Adventure. A devout follower of Oghma, she travelled the world with her wolf companion Moro-Maie.

History
Born between Fort Laggin and Peer's Point, Mika grew up in the Kirkdom region of the Known World. Born to Alaina, her Elven mother, and her Human father Mika spent much of her youth creating toy boats out of wood from the nearby forest.

Mika's childhood was relatively uneventful, spent mainly by sparring with her two older brothers Phineas and Atolocus and sisters Elivere and Cyresa. Mika looked up to her mother greatly during this time, her being a successful adventurer. Mika's father, on the other hand, continued to push Mika into the Church of Oghma rather than risk her pursuing a life of danger and adventure.

One fateful fall day Mika's mother returned home from an adventure with a strange change in her demeanour. Unnerved and increasingly paranoid, Alaina began to distance herself from her children. Concerned for her mother, Mika watched in silence as she began to slip into madness. Not long after, Alaina committed suicide, leaving the family broken.

Thinking Atolcus responsible for Alaina's poisoning, Mika's father took his sword in hand in an effort to cut down his son. Racing to her brother's aid, Mika intervened and rescued Atolcus, putting her small dagger through her father's temple. With their family broken, Mika and the other siblings separated with Elivere and Cyresa staying on the homestead (paid for by Phineas' position up in Pallanaise as a librarian) while Atolcus ventured off to find the source of their mother's madness.

Age of Adventure
Mika would later meet her lifelong companion Moro-Maie when travelling from Fort Laggin to Neverwinter. Sleeping in a tree to stay out of harm's way, Moro-Maie approached Mika while she was sleeping. Waking Mika with a bark, causing her to be startled and roll out of the tree, Moro-Maie glanced up to the falling Half-Elf who collapsed on top of her. Bemused by the occurance, the two wild-kin became friends with a laugh and continued the trek together to Neverwinter before becoming lifelong companions.

Upon arriving at Neverwinter Mika was disheartened to see the city's fall from grace and the destruction of the Church of Oghma. Suffering ill feelings from the setting, Mika and her wolf companion began to travel south back to Peer's Point where they hoped to seek passage to Salt Gohlin aboard the HMS Sleeps with One Eye Open.
