Character Description: Miria Harvent
Like her partner/lover Issac Dian, Miria Harvent is a vagabond thief who, along with Issac, engage in many random crimes. Most of these crimes, however, are often minor ones, which usually consist of either robbing stores of candy bars, costume jewelry, and at one time stealing the heavy door to a museum, with the two often dressing in outlandish... or ridiculous... costumes. The only crime they committed that had mounted to any significance at all was stealing much of the fortune of the Genoard mafia family β with the only witness the Genoards' youngest daughter Eve.
How the two became immortal was also unusual. The two had stolen the two surviving bottles of the Grande Panacea that Szilard Quates had managed to make (which were re-stolen by Dallas Genoard and his gang after killing much of the Gandor gang) and had sampled the contents, disappointed to believe that had stolen only illicit liquor. Even when Issac was accidentally killed... and later revived as a result of a celebratory pistol shot fired during Firo's initiation into the Cammora, Issac and Miria didn't make the connection until 2001 β and then got it wrong!
Even when committing crimes, the two seem to have the odd ability of of being very lucky. Their exuberance also seems to inspire others, like Eve, Jacuzzi Splot, and Ennis. Miria also shares to an extent Issac's knowledge of Asian literature and science. Of course, a lot of the times she and Issac will often confuse some of it with facts from more contemporary works, but it usually works out for them.
