Myra Sage
"The healer has the bloodiest hands. You cannot treat a wound without knowing how deep it goes. You cannot heal pain by hiding it. You must accept."
Dragon Age: Inquisition
   
  Overview


Appearance: Myra is tall and very bulky/thick with both muscle and fat. Her skin is light brown and covered in freckles. Her eyes are a deep verdant green. Her hair, which is a very bright red auburn, looks like it hasn't been more than slightly trimmed in.... ever. Despite it being generally too wild to be properly held in anything (against all of her trying, and oh does she try with messy buns and loose braids and ponytails and the like), it looks well taken care of (suggesting, perhaps, a vanity she would never admit to). Overall, she looks like a big, tall, stronk mama bear who is ready to give hugs.


Personality: Myra is down-to-earth, calm, compassionate, wise, nurturing, a little bit snarky, and generally just chill – at least for the most part. All said, she tends to be the type of woman who takes no shit and is almost fearlessly stubborn in her ability to stand up for the sake of others and the things she believes in and is passionate about. She's also the kind of person to nurture and potentially unintentionally adopt half of the people she meets, wanting - if not needing - to care for someone or something other than herself.

On the flip side, she tends to lean towards being grumpy - especially with strangers. Myra does not trust easily, having been burned too often in the past. This does not mean that she is unkind to strangers, simply that she is short and judgmental with them.

Overall, Myra tends to be low energy and a little on the serious side - as if she's forgotten how to loosen up and allow herself have a good time. She holds herself up to unhealthily high standards.


Public History

  • Eldest daughter of a Scandinavian bookbinder and a Cuban-American chef, born 1988.
  • Known in hometown for strangeness - odd abilities, odd habits, odd family.
  • Went to medical school a few years after graduating high school.
  • Dropped out most of the way through her medical degree, citing agitation at the healthcare system as main reason.
  • Begins own business of freelance massage therapy and herbal/holistic apothecary. Uses 'psychic' abilities to benefit herself and others during these ventures.
  • Ends up sliding neck deep into local occult community, eventually (after a long while of consideration and deliberation and being a stubborn goat) joining The Mind's Eye Society.

  • Jane Martingale: When Jane finds herself injured from her fights in ways that don't easily heal on their own, it's Myra she goes to first. Though the (only slightly) older woman grumbles, she's always willing to help patch Jane up and is rather fond of her in a motherly sort of way.

Soundtrack
"Medicine Man", Dorothy
Hey, you, Medicine Man
Set me free and change my ways
Hey, you, give me a harbor
Give me a harbor, what do you say?
Hey, you, Medicine Man
Give me what I'm hurting for
Hey, you, give me a harbor
I can't live like this no more
"It Will Come Back", Hozier
You know better babe, you know better babe,
Than to look at it, look at it like that.
You know better babe, you know better babe,
Than to talk to it, talk to it like that.


Don't give it a hand, offer it a soul
Honey, make this easy.
Leave it to the land, this is what it knows
Honey, that's how it sleeps.
"This Is Me", Keala Settle
I'm not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one will love you as you are


But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
