Biography

Mira Sorrengail is the middle child of General Lilith and Lieutenant Colonel Asher Sorrengail, and the younger sister of Brennan and older sister of Violet. Unlike Violet, Mira was born strong, excelling quickly in the Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College. By the time Violet enters Basgiath, Mira has already graduated, bonded with her dragon Teine, and serves as a First Lieutenant in Navarre’s army.

Mira’s signet, the ability to extend wards, makes her an invaluable defender against venin and gryphon riders. Loyal and pragmatic, she balances her military role with her protective instincts toward Violet, often acting as both mentor and shield. She gifts Violet the Dragonscale Corset, crafted from Teine’s scales, to give her sister a fighting chance at survival.

Throughout the events of Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm, Mira remains one of Violet’s most steadfast allies. She assists in battles against venin, supports Brennan’s rebellion, and becomes a bridge between duty to Navarre and loyalty to family. Mira’s courage, sharp instincts, and determination solidify her as a critical figure in the fight to protect Navarre and the people she loves.

Relationships

Drake Cordella Mira Sorrengail’s most significant connection in Onyx Storm is with Drake Cordella, though their bond is anything but straightforward. Their dynamic is sharp-edged and full of constant sparring, beginning with Mira driving her knee into his groin after he recklessly endangered Violet at Montserrat. Throughout their journey across the isles, their banter continues—Drake dubs her “Killjoy” when she interrupts a tender moment between Violet and Xaden, and the two often clash over strategy, such as the Pelson flight formation. Beneath the barbs, however, there’s a thread of respect and understanding, glimpsed when they work together or share small, lighthearted moments.
Violet Sorrengail Mira is deeply protective of her younger sister, often acting as both mentor and guardian. Though she initially doubts Violet’s chances of surviving the Riders Quadrant, her pride grows as Violet proves herself. By the time of the Revolution, they share a strong mutual respect and fight side by side against the venin threat.
Brennan Sorrengail Mira and Brennan share a strained but loving relationship. His supposed death left her devastated, and his return years later forces both to confront their mother’s choices and the truths behind Navarre’s lies. Despite their differences, they remain united in protecting Violet and supporting the Revolution.
Lilith Sorrengail Mira respected her mother’s authority and discipline but often disagreed with her harsh methods. Despite their clashes, Mira tried to understand Lilith’s decisions, believing her actions were driven by duty and the desire to protect her children.
Asher Sorrengail Mira shared a warm bond with her father, who nurtured her curiosity and intellect. His death left a lasting mark on her, deepening her determination to live up to his example and protect her siblings at any cost.

Dragon

Teine

Teine is a Green Clubtail dragon bonded to Mira Sorrengail during her time at Basgiath War College. As Mira’s companion and source of power, Teine provides the lesser magic all bonded riders channel. One of Teine’s most notable contributions came through her scales, which were used to craft the Dragonscale Corset. Mira later gifted the corset to her sister Violet as a means of protection.
