Mirella Ahn

mirella

we are the lions free of the colosseums

chain of obsidian Mirella has a calm aura about her. With her angelic features and ever-present serene smile, she could easily be mistaken as a child of anyone but the fiery goddess Aetna. She moves with a quiet grace that had been drilled into her as a young girl and remained untouched by the horrors that she faced at the facility. Every word that escapes her mouth is spoken softly and with care. Rarely does she raise the volume of her voice and rarely will her face be marred by expressions of anger. When Mirella interacts with people, she is often very formal and polite. Mirella would seem friendly but she holds people at arm's length, giving off an undercurrent of being heavily guarded. She is content staying in the background and being overlooked, responding with hostility if ever she is forced into the spotlight. However Mirella does relax significantly if she is in the presence of the people she is most comfortable with: using less formal language, laughing more openly, and even initiating skinship. As a daughter of Aetna, her temper is destructive and explosive. Paired with a sharp tongue and a literal lack of fear, Mirella is someone who snaps to extreme levels if she is slighted in any way. child of aetna Vittorino Ahn was the third son of the current head of the Ahn family, one of the two families who heads the Primavera Conglomerate. Though he was the third, Vittorino had been handpicked by his father to be his successor for he surpassed both his elder siblings in every way. Vittorino met Aetna in a business trip to Germany. To Vittorino, Aetna was a nameless but enchanting woman who made the entire trip more memorable. They shared several nights together but never exchanged names or anything that would make the other person more 'real'. They parted ways once Vittorino returned home and never appeared in each other's lives ever again. Though Vittorino never did see Aetna again, he was reminded that his actions have consequences and it came in the form of a baby girl delivered literally on his doorstep. Though the cameras never showed who was able to break into his penthouse undetected, Vittorino knew the baby girl was his. A few strings were pulled here and there and by sunrise, Mirella Ottavia Aurelie Nayeon Ahn became second in line to inherit the vast Ahn family fortune. Vittorino knew next to nothing about Aetna so he wasn't able to tell Mirella much about her mother. What he does know is that Aetna left a little token for Mirella, a black choker with a pendant made out of obsidian, which he did give to his daughter on her 5th birthday. Mirella grew up with Ciaran Yang, the son of her father's best friend Annika. They lived in their own personal bubble and never interacted much outside of each other. They had personal nicknames for each other (Ciaran called Mirella 'Hana' or 'Nana' while Mirella called Ciaran 'Kiki') and had their own secret code. They became more closed off when Annika died when Ciaran was 8 and only Mirella could convince him to do anything. Her first monster attack happened when she was 9 years old. Vittorino was taking both kids out on a walk on the beach near the Ahns' summer home when they were ambushed by a pair of Scythian Dracanae. Vittorino was killed while attempting to save the children. In the confusion, a demigod, who had been tracking the Scythian Dracanae, managed to grab the two children and knock them out. She brought the children to a facility belonging to the Spectre Foundation hidden in the Sierra Nevada. This would be where the pair would spend the next five years. The facility was run by unaffiliated demigods who run experiments on kidnapped demigod children. Mirella was forced to go through operations that tampered with her brain. Lesions made on her insula gave her pain asymbolia while exclusive bilateral amygdala damage tampered with her ability to feel fear. Halfway through their sixth year in the facility, a demigod stumbled upon the hidden facility. Luciella Eastwood was only barely able to escape with 14-year-old Mirella and 15-year-old Ciaran when the higher-ups of the facility made the facility self destruct upon discovery of a trespasser. The trio would spend the next few years on the road together. After a monster attack that lead to Ciaran and Mirella accidentally using their powers for the first time, Luciella would be the one to explain to the two about their godly heritage. Ciaran and Mirella would discover that the things their respective godparents have the ability to turn into Celestial Bronze-bladed glaives. Besides teaching the two teens how to fight, Luciella also helped them deal with their trauma as much as she could by being their support system outside of each other. When Mirella was 16, she met Cain Abel, a fellow demigod that Mirella took to really quickly. Cain became the only other person who called her Hana and who knew an extensive amount about her past. Though their time together was cut short, Cain had carved herself a permanent spot in Mirella's life and the two promised to meet each other again someday in Camp Half-Blood. Mirella and Ciaran lose Luciella when they were so, so close to Camp. They never expected the ambush. A demigod who formerly worked for the facility that they escaped them somehow tracked them down. The trio was underprepared, having faced a rather difficult monster a few hours prior. Luciella was struck dead just as they caught sight of the entrance to Camp. The demigod was only able to fatally wound both Mirella and Ciaran before they disappeared, seemingly more concerned about concealing their identity. By the time the pair were found and brought into Camp, they were only barely alive.

Children of Aetna are able to increase the kinetic energy of atoms in an opponent’s weapon or their own for a very short amount of time, ranging from bearable temperatures of heat to something too hot for normal people to hold onto without suffering heavy burns. As a child of Aetna they will be unbothered by the heat, but for an opponent it can cause them to drop the weapon or item in hand. If used to disarm an opponent it can only be used once during a battle. Defensive Children of Aetna are able to construct armour out of obsidian and molten rock for a short amount of time. Although heavy in nature, while being used as a form of armour the rock is quite light while retaining its durability. Children of Aetna are able to create a wall made out of molten rock that breaks through the earth. The wall is no larger than 2 to 3 times the size of the user and it can be used to temporarily block attacks. Passive Children of Aetna have an innate resistance to heat and hot temperatures as well as fire. Although the effects of burning can set in if in proximity for too long, they generally have a stronger resistance than most. Furthermore, children of Aetna have complete resistance against lava and magma, being unfazed by the liquid's properties. Children of Aetna are able to survive/adapt to volcanic fields with dormant, active or dead volcanoes. They are able to deal with the extreme temperatures, smoke, noxious gases, hazardous terrain, and various side-effects of eruptions such as superheated gases and lava. When in contact with such gases and smoke they are able to breathe as one normally would without the presence of the fumes. Children of Aetna are stronger in mountainous, volcanic, and hot locations. Children of Aetna are able to change the temperature of lava whenever they please without altering the physical state of it. Making it cold to the touch or a temperature that while still hot, doesn’t match the actual temperature of lava. This temperature is as hot as all their lava based powers can get. Supplementary Children of Aetna have the ability to absorb heat, magma, and smoke from a nearby source. As the heat or smoke is absorbed into the child of Aetna’s body, they gain energy from the drained element’s source, being able to use it as a temporary power and speed boost. Although only lasting for a short amount of time, it can be used three times in battle. Children of Aetna have the ability to travel using clouds of smoke, ash, and even magma beneath the surface. The user merges with the element and reforms elsewhere. The further they travel the more energy it drains. Children of Aetna are able to create a cloud of smoke and ash around them, spreading through their surroundings and potentially distracting their opponents which gives them time to flee or launch an attack. Children of Aetna have the ability to generate a fair amount of lava and being able to telekinetically move it with their minds. The more lava generated/moved means the more energy drained. Children of Aetna have the innate ability of being able to heal their own wounds by draining in substantial sources of heat, smoke and magma. Like a campfire. The ability can quickly heal minor wounds and slowly heal major, but not fatal, wounds. The source drained disappears once the user has healed themselves They cannot heal from heat-based attacks from an opponent. 3 Months After Character is Made Children of Aetna can create a small volcanic eruption with an eruption range of about 10 meters from its source. The eruption releases mass amounts of lava, ash, and smoke. All of which the child of Aetna is immune to. The effects of the eruption vanish after a short time. Using this power is substantially draining. 6 Months After Character is Made Children of Aetna are able to turn roughly ten meters of their surroundings into a volcanic field by either forming it from nothing or using the existing environment around them and shifting it to their desired form. In doing so they can cause multiple small volcanic eruptions, minor earthquakes, and even the potential for the earth to break apart exposing magma underneath which would cool into stone rather quickly. Using this power is substantially draining. 9 Months After Character is Made Children of Aetna can transform their body completely into homogenous matter made up of either ash, magma/molten rock, or smoke. Depending on the homogenous matter making up their body, the child takes on different abilities. They can only transform into one form at a time and they cannot maintain it for very long. The user is quite drained after they revert. If transforming their body into homogenous matter made up of ash, the child of Aetna gains abilities such as; being immune to toxins and disease, removing oxygen from the immediate area, as well as enhanced control over ash, durability, lung capacity, and fire immunity. If transforming their into homogenous matter made up of magma/molten rock, the child of Aetna gains abilities such as; being immune to toxins and disease, dermal armour, as well as enhanced control over lava/magma/molten rock, durability, endurance, lung capacity, strength, and heat generation. If transforming their into homogenous matter made up of smoke, the child of Aetna gains abilities such as; being immune to toxins and disease, removing oxygen from the immediate area, near intangibility, flight, as well as enhanced control over smoke, agility, durability, and lung capacity. Traits Children of Aetna have been known to have rather fiery and explosive personalities. Given that Aetna is a volcanic goddess, her children often make great volcanologists. Children of Aetna often tend to prefer hotter climates as they are able to withstand the heat that comes with it, they can find great comfort in the heat. Children of Aetna tend to excel at rock climbing, mountain climbing, etc. Children of Aetna our known to have an affection towards lava and fire, often being pyromaniacs. ETYMOLOGY GIVEN NAME/S Mirella — Italian, "to admire" Ottavia — Italian, "eighth" Aurelie — Italian, "golden, gilded" Nayeon [ 나연 ] — 娜璉, "beautiful, graceful; vessel for holding grain offerings in an ancestral hall" SURNAME/S Ahn [ 안 ] — 安, "calm, peaceful, tranquil, quiet" MISCELLANEOUS TRIVIA All experiments tested on Hana were exclusively brain-related experiments. The most prominent and permanent side-effects are: Pain asymbolia due to lesions of the insula She recognises the sensation of pain but is mostly or completely immune to suffering from it Limited responses to stimuli meant to induce fear due to exclusive bilateral amygdala damage Only experiences fear when it taps into her deepest traumas, resulting in reactions of greater intensity than the neurologically healthy controls Besides this, she is shown to be prone to bouts of dissociation especially when in extreme stress similar to her experiences in the facility she was held captive in. So far only Ciaran Yang and Cain Abel are the only ones who can 'ground' her when she does.
