First appearance: iii

As a supporting figure in Betty Zane, Myeerah is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.

Tarhe's daughter, deeply in love with Isaac, pleads with him to accept her and save himself, but struggles with her own nature and the cultural divide.

Myeerah is the princess of Tarhe's Huron band, and her devotion to Isaac has kept him from escaping the Wyandot again and again. She stands at the intersection of two peoples, her affection both a shelter and a chain for the youngest Zane. Her presence complicates every assumption the settlers make about captivity, loyalty, and who counts as family.
