Susana & Morgana Mithose

 
 

The MITHOSE Family

Owen Mithose was a scholar and inventor from Istoria that would come to have three children each from separate women. Owen’s first wife would bear him a son named Michael. Owen loved her very much but she unfortunately passed away when Michael was still a boy. Distraught by the loss, Owen sends Michael to live with his grandparents where he would remain for several years.

Owen’s second wife was the daughter of an aristocrat. The aristocratic father was not fond of Owen and as such would make the marriage difficult. Owen tried to love her but the strain on their marriage made her become cold to Owen. He ended up leaving Istoria for Veiland before he knew that his wife was pregnant with his second child. After several years, Owen would make his way toward Veiland. On his travels, he fell in love with a young tavern woman who he would come to be infatuated with. She would soon become pregnant as well, unbeknownst to Owen.

When Owen reached Veiland, he set up a small repair shop in Ophelia. Michael was sent for and soon accompanied him in the shop before finding work as a blacksmith assistant, something that Owen deeply discouraged. Michael displayed strength far beyond his age and would often seek out physical work after his father would not let him train to be in the Crescent Shield army. Owen insisted that he use his mind to become something more than a soldier for Veiland. Despite this, Michael continued to be trained as a blacksmith behind his father’s back.

Eventually, over the years, a young girl named Susanna came to Ophelia searching for Owen, and claimed to be his daughter from his second marriage in Istoria. Owen took Susanna in but was skeptical of her heritage and as such seemed to only tolerate her. Susanna, however grew very close to Michael who was overjoyed to learn of his sister.

Soon after, King Marcus came to Ophelia, searching for more people that he termed Champions. When he and Father Basildes learned of Michael’s unnatural strength, they found in him the perfect candidate for the newly christened High Champion, a figurehead of justice and strength that would inspire others. Michael himself wanted something more than remaining in Ophelia and accepted the King’s offer. At 20 years old Michael Mithose became the first High Champions, the Lunar Guardian.

Because of his decision, there grew a rift between him and his father, Owen. Owen wanted Michael to follow in his own footsteps and scarcely spoke to his son after this. Owen would guilt his daughter Susana from going with Michael to Selene, something she wanted to do but decided to stay with her father, instead. Susana however, would remain in touch with her brother and after several years she informed him that they had another sister named Morgana. Michael desired greatly to meet his new sister, unfortunately that never came to pass.

However deep down Susana has a very maternal and caring demeanor that shines through with her sister, as well as with the well being of others. sense of justice. She truly does want to become a warrior or knight for the benefit of protecting others that cannot protect themselves.

It is never stated outright, but Owen Mithose nurses a deep disdain for King’s and the aristocracy in general. The reason for this is because of the difficulty that he had with his second wife, Shardy Hale, due to her high class upbringing. He did love her but Shardy’s father, a courtier to the King of Istoria, would eventually convince her that the marriage was not lucrative. His struggle as an inventor and his widower status prompted him to send his son to live with his grandparents for a time. Despite his efforts, Owen could not appease his wife nor her family. The strain on the marriage would make Shardry become colder to Owen. The Hale family in general looked down on Owen and it would eventually drive him to leave. He did not realize that Shardry was pregnant at the time.
