Meira Lucy "Mia" Franklin is the female protagonist and love interest of Zephaniah Talbot in the Light in the Darkness series.

Early Life
Meira was born on July 9, 1994 to Joseph and April Franklin in Soleil, Nevada. She had an idyllic childhood and she and her sister, who was born when Meira was two, were frequently blessed by their mother, a former angel. Meira's personality as a child was said several times to be very energetic and it was mentioned that she was almost always busy doing something.

As a way to spend time with each other, Meira was taught to play the piano by April. In November 2004, April was in a car accident that left her brain dead and she was taken off life support shortly afterward. The death of their mother left both Meira and Adalia heartbroken and it affected both girls differently. In contrast to Adalia, who became more fragile, Meira grew to be resilient and strong-willed.

Physical Appearance
Meira has copper-colored hair and hazel eyes. Her skin is tanned in the first book, but it has faded in the second and third books. She tends to have a trendy, preppy sense of style. Her signature hairstyle is the braided half-updo hairstyle and variants on that. She also likes to wear the braided headband style. She has one piece of jewelry that she always wears - her late mother's amulet. The amulet is described as having a slightly rusty gold chain and a simple star pendant with a tiger eye gemstone in the star's center and is enchanted to keep the wearer protected from harm. She gives up the amulet in the third book as one of the sacrifices made to defeat Lucifer. She is later given a purity ring that previously had belonged to both her mother and her recently deceased sister. The ring is described as simple and delicate, gold with a small pearl and has been enchanted to keep the wearer pure of heart.

Meira described herself as "striking; not exactly pretty or beautiful, but interesting in a way." Zephaniah compared Meira's looks to those of a supernova, "intriguing, noticeable, rare, and full of energy - life." Meira has said that she resembles neither her father nor her mother and instead looks like a mixture of both of them whereas her sister resembles their mother more.
