Espella Miratium

"Through the Looking Glass has a whole new meaning."

Espella is the grand daughter of the 'first' Mirror Demon, and daughter of Blanche and Zircon Miratium.

Personality
Having grown up in the Crystal Continuum most of her life, Espella doesn't really do the entire socializing thing very easily. And she does the term 'shrinking violet' true. She doesn't like being the centre of attention, or else she gets flustered. She's often described as a perfect lady, although she has an over-active imagination.

Though, she does sometimes make an effort to show that she can cause mischief, such as sneaking out with Aaron to go on the Catacombs Dare. Things like that don't turn out so well. Sometimes, she's found making a sarcastic remark, which may suggest an actual rebellion streak, but it's gone almost as quickly as it came.The very idea of confrontation frightens her. When someone gets into an argument with her, Espella will often back away.

The only time you'll often see her not afraid to be in the spotlight is ice skating, and she's on the team at Monster High. This has earned her the nickname Ice Princess. She's also relatively skilled at chess.

Physical description
Espella is shorter than average, having inherited her mother's frame and only reaching the height of 4'10". She has a petite frame, and thus not much of a figure. She has white hair often worn wispy and shoulder-length, unnaturally pale skin, and large eyes that are light blue in colour. And it's not uncommon to see her with small gems on her cheek or sparkles on her eyelashes.

Normally, she wears clothes with frills, lace, and bows, often described as things you'd see at a tea party. It's also noticed she has a small amount of Victorian inspiration, but this is due to that being the era Espella was born in.

Classical Monster
Mirror demons are a fictional race of monsters created by Psyche. They're mostly inspired by Frank Beddor's Looking Glass Wars, with influnce from Skulduggery Pleasant's Remnants.

A brief explanation is that mirror demons are beings that live in the Crystal Continuum, a network in Wonderland connected by looking glasses. They can either be born, which includes half and quarter breeds, or made, when a human becomes a host for the spiritual form. The spiritual form resembles nothing more than light. The host is not harmed when they join with this form, and are changed no more than possible appearances and the basic powers.

Appearances of the host range are usually human, although hair and eyes can be any colour found in the visible spectrum. This trait is found through all decendants, but becomes muted the smaller the percentage.

Their lifespans range anywhere from the average human to centuries long, but time passes differently in the Continuum than in Wonderland and the human world, which is why Espella is still sixteen (although extremely short) despite her having lived from the Victorian Era.

While humans can travel through the Continuum, full mirror demons have much more fluent mirror travel, being able to phase through the tiniest mirror and even water. A result of this, however, is that they can be pulled into the Continuum if they don't pay attention. If this happens, a demon's appearance and personality can be changed (an example of this is Espella's brother, Mirall). They can also pull people into the Continuum with them, though it takes more energy.

Family
Espella comes from a large family, which includes multiple aunts, uncles, and cousins on either side.

Her mother is Blanche Adarsa (maiden name), the daughter of the Mirror Demon, and her father is Zircon Miratium, a professor from Wonderland. Espella is on good terms with both of her parents, but she often goes to her mother for advice more than her father.

Her brother is a Monster University student, Mirall Miratium, who is an example of when a mirror demon gets sucked into the Continuum. He's simply desribed as 'mad'. Despite this, Espella cares for her brother dearly, although she doesn't often let him come to her tea parties.

On her mother's side, she has an Aunt Scarlett Adarsa, her mother's twin, and Uncle Aedd Darpan, and her cousins Jack (20) and Ena (12). Espella isn't close to most of them, though she does talk with Ena occasionally.

Relatives on her father's side are not specified. It is assumed that they're human, seeing as Zircon is a host.

Friends
Espella has a close circle of friends, mostly people she's met through extra ciricular activities. Marguerite Cygne, a swan maiden, she met through dance, and Rochelle Goyle, through art classes. Aaron is her closest friend, whom she met at a summer camp, and it's suggested that they have romantic interest (see romance). She met Gwennant through him.

She does often hang with Alyss Speculum (belonging to Maddy the 13th Doctor), another mirror demon. Although they have different interests, they often talk over tarty tarts, jelly jollies, or other sugary Wonderlandian confectionaries.

Enemies
Espella is a shy and quiet girl, most often a wallflower, and no one really sees her. And thus, no one goes out of their way to make fun of her. Though there are a few people who sometimes confront her just to get her flustered, she doesn't consider them 'enemies'.

Pet
Her pet is an albino mouse named Opal.

Romance
She and Aaron have a mutual crush situation, although they're both too nervous to admit it. It is implied that, after the Catacombs dare and a resolution of the love triangle with Gwennant, it is assumed they will get together.

Basic
Espella's hair is worn shoulder length and pushed back with a powder blue headband. She has on a white shrug with blue-trimmed frills on the collar and sleeves. She has on a white dress, the skirt stopping at the knees with multiple velumonous underskirts, with the bodice fittied with grey lace. She has on white tights, and high heels with folded-over tops tied with a bow. Her choker has a round piece of reflective crystal on it.

Dawn of the dance
Her hair is curled into wisps ornamented with a crystal barrette, and she has long false eyelashes on. Her dress is white in base, with long, black lace sleeves and red lace along the bodice. The skirt is patterned to look like a checker board. Her tights are the same sort of lace as her sleeves, and her shoes are black wedges adorned with a red bow on the straps. Her purse is designed to look like a black and white rook.

Gloom Beach
She wears a lavender one-piece with a white pattern along the collar. The straps cross along her back. She has a white and lavender shawl over that, and her hair is curled and cut into a bob, with a purple hat. She has close-toed wedges with straps.

Scream Uniform
Espella has a black ice skating leotard, with pink and white along the collar, edge of skirt, and sleeves. The tights are grey. She has high heeled, white ice skates with pink laces. Her hair is pulled back in a bun, and her lipstick is pink.

Dead Tired
She wears a Victorian night dress-inspired outfit, consisting of a blouse with a v-neck collar, empress waist-line, and long, puffy sleeves fitted at the cuff. There is violet trim along the collar and waist. The blouse stops at mid-thigh and she has knee-length shorts underneath. Her hair is pulled into low pigtails.

School's Out
Espella wears a tan peacoat over a blue blouse and skirt. She has white lace tights and tan wedges. Her hair is worn in a high ponytail, with her bangs held to the side with a barrette.
