Background
Miranda grew up in the city of Casander’s Landing as the daughter of a wealthy merchant family. Through its wealth, the family had been able to acquire a large farm of chocobos- rare birds to the lands of Alteron. As a child, Miranda spent an extensive portion of her time on this farm, and so she learned a great deal about riding and caring for the creatures. By the time she was 15, she had competed in quite a few breeder tournaments across Woodshire and even won a few of them.
By the time she turned 19, the war between Queen Alana and Prince Lucius had reached full swing. The ruling houses of the country were grasping for every soldier they could get to send off to the battlefield. Miranda saw entire families of the less fortunate, even the women and children, conscripted on a daily basis. However, she still somehow felt safe at least for the time, for the Avery family was not cannon-fodder.
But to her shock and horror, she received the letter of conscription on the fifth day of Tzelara in the year 1315. Apparently, someone had decided that chocobos possessed considerable military potential. As the house of Isgaroth was in need of a cavalry force to match the mighty cavalry of House Klissak, skill with chocobos had become a conscription-worthy quality.
After completing her few weeks of training, Miranda forlornly sailed away with the chocobo units to the Tralask plains. Unfortunately, while the chocobo riders may have possessed skill with their novel mounts, they were otherwise nothing but merchants with swords. They were broken and routed in every battle they fought, and so running them down and slaughtering them in great numbers soon became nothing but a game to the horsemen of Tralask.
Through endless luck and a skill with the sword that was a fair degree greater than that of the average merchant, Miranda was able to survive the few months it took for her unit to be recalled. But recalled did not mean dismissed. Though the chocobo cavalry was disbanded, its members were simply reassigned to various traditional units. To her dismay, Miranda Avery had yet to see the last of the battlefield.
