Mira was a Gelfling of the Vapra Clan in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. She was a guard at the Castle of the Crystal and the girlfriend of Rian.
History
Mira met Rian, her boyfriend, years prior to the events of Age of Resistance in the Castle of the Crystal. Together they worked as castle guards, protecting the Skeksis whom they served, often playing pranks by stealing food or escaping to tall towers to lounge about. One day while dreamfasting with Rian however, they were interrupted by an Arathim, and immediately went to report it. Rian however eventually chose not to, and decided to give chase with Mira instead. Mira and Rian tracked the Arathim to the castle catacombs where Gelfling were not allowed to tread.
Undaunted, Mira flew down into the catacombs, leaving Rian behind to catch up. It proved fatal however, as she was accosted by skekTek, who brought her willingly to his laboratory where he was experimenting on the Dark Crystal; although it had stopped providing the Skeksis with life, he and skekSil thought they could use it to drain the life of others for their own use. Unknowing of the danger, Mira followed skekTek's orders to stand before the crystal, even as she became horrified at the electricity playing across it. It was too late however, as it had begun draining her essence, and although she called to the Skeksis for help she could not escape and they would not save her. SkekTek then stabbed two tubes into her back to drain the essence into a bowl, and as the last of the life was drained from her, she saw Rian, and then vanished altogether.
