Mirna, the Maid

Archetype: rebel

Nobody would tell Mirna is a rebel by heart; not even herself. Born in a low class family, her only alternative was to become a maid. She learned early life isn’t fair, and she did what as in her control to amend things.
At first, she became an efficient maid, to fix what was wrong in her master’s house. Then, she went further, and decided to change her master’s life. After it, she expanded her plans to fix the whole city.
Being a smart woman, Mirna knows a low class person is not taken into account so easily. As the adage says, the nail that sticks up is the first to be hammered. So Mirna resorts on her low key status and appearance; and most importantly, her wits, to get things done.
Mirna learned how to be discreet in her doings to get things made her way. She never tires; she never gives up. Being a maid and an unimportant person makes things easier to her: gather information; tweak and deliver information; be invisible most of the times… You name it. She gets little things done that could alter greatly the things in the end.
When the word of a new religion_or better, a new take on an old religion_ came to the town, Mirna got “the Revelation”. She was convicted she could be her God’s instrument in this world.
She has her own interpretation of the Holy teachings, as natural for a rebel. Now her righteousness is a weapon to do good and hurt the infidels.
FACTS
She is proud of being the one that knows “the Truth”, but does not preach all the time. Just will use a condescending tone as appropriate.
As the new religion is not well known by outsiders, Mirna tweaks its teachings and rules as convenient or when she doesn’t wish to do something. She uses to say: “We, (...)ists, would never do (...). Our faith doesn’t allow it.” And variations.
She does only what she wants. Always. But, unless she can use her religion as excuse for not doing something, she will never directly say she’s not doing something that was ordered.
She always use a straight face, even when she’s screwing you.
She’s petty.
She’s driven by justice. She works for balance. She doesn’t have sides.

As you see she’s a very imperfect character. Mirna can fit in most novels and scenarios, as comic relief and support character (just swap “maid” for any other low class job that give her access to important things).

This is my character, hope you like it.
