Sha Miara
Sha Miara is the Monarch of the Ninecloud Court. She rules over Ninecloud continent. Suriel takes Lindon to secretly watch her coronation in book 1. Sha Miara is young, only age 15 in book 7, Uncrowned. A teenager. Petulant at times.
Royal Madra
Sha Miara has the powerful Royal Sha Bloodline Abilities, a type of madra.
Royal madra, the rainbow-colored signature of the Ninecloud Court, is in fact a spiritual mutation of pure madra that occurred long ago in the Sha bloodline. From childhood, they can control the spirits of others, and over the centuries they have refined this power into a set of techniques and polished these techniques to perfection. Using their innately powerful madra, they solidified control over their nation and their continent, naming both after their sigil: a nine-colored cloud.
One of their most closely guarded techniques is known as Heaven’s Wish. Once only, a practitioner can pass on their spirit to another. Far more thorough than the adoption of a Remnant, this technique allows for the near-total transfer of power and skill to an heir, though some knowledge is still lost. (Uncrowned, ch 9)
Her Mother, Sha Leiala
The former Monarch, Sha Leiala, is dead. She had ruled for two hundred years. She died when Maira was only twelve, sometime just before or during book 1, Unsouled, but it was off-screen. Her life-line was shortened after battling a powerful group of plague-spirits, so she passed on her power and skill to her daughter, using the family’s secretly guarded Heaven’s Wish technique
- The royal family is keeping her death a secret, because the family is vulnerable with a child-queen.
The illusion of Sha Leiala still makes regular appearances all over the nation. As far as the citizens know, their queen is healthy and strong. By royal decree, Sha Miara’s name and her true identity as the Luminous Queen are known only to the Sha family, their direct servants, and the other Monarchs. She remains isolated in her palace, surrounded by the same faces every day. But she is still only fifteen years old, and isolation is boring. (Uncrowned, ch 9)
- Leiala would never have supported Reigan Shen in her lifetime. According to Akura Malice, she detested him.
- But her daughter Sha Miara does support the lion. She may not have inherited her mother’s memories and feelings about him.
Sha Homeland
Ninecloud continent. Ninecloud City. Ninecloud Court. Royal Sha sigil is a nine-colored cloud.
"Ninecloud City," Eithan said, "one of the largest cities in the world. Capital of the Ninecloud country, home to the Ninecloud Court. In the distant past, they were named by the same culture that named the Blackflame Empire. Among their virtues was a certain philosophy: why use many names when you can recycle the same one?" (Uncrowned ch 9)
The Tournament
The Ninecloud Court hosted the 18th Uncrowned King Tournament. Sha Miara competed, even though she has advanced far beyond Underlord.
Sha Miara, Luminous Queen of the Ninecloud Court, throws a tantrum. She wants to fight in the tournament. Her tutors have reached the end of their patience; there is no sport in sending a Monarch to do battle with Underlords. She’ll keep her power veiled, she insists. She will compete fairly, and no one will recognize her. When they continue to deny her, her wails conjure a storm indoors. (Underlord epilogue)
“Sha Miara publicly claimed to be an Underlady from a distant branch of the royal family, but Charity doubted that.” (Uncrowned). She rapidly lost to Eithan Arelius and threw a little tantrum (Wintersteel, ch 3)
