Mira couldn't believe it. She, here, was doing something that she'd never thought she had to do. She felt horrible, and just to do this, she'd had to lower her standards. She had little choice though. She'd absorbed the power of the dark crystal, but she didn't have the servants she used to. She had to do things for herself, even things that she didn't want to do.
The terrible thing she had to do? What she lowered her standards to? I know what you're thinking and I have to say... get your mind out of the gutter! She was having to go get her own pie. Normally, she'd have had one of the tonberries bake her a stripped apple pie, but now she, the Darklord of all people, had to go get a slice for herself.
She focused her eyes on her map, only for some random person to accidentally bump into her. While both of them quickly continued on, not saying anything to each other, Mira let out a muted growl; she was used to surrounding herself with people who when she shouted 'jump' anwsered 'how high misssssstresss, pleassse don't hurt usssss'. Now she had to walk amongst people who dared do such things as accidentally bump into her.
She finally found a bakery. Once again, she found herself having to stoop to something so pedestrian as waiting in line. It would all be worth it for the pie though. She had to admit though, the prices on the menu weren't bad either.
She finally reached the front of the line, proceeding to command the clerk, in a haughty tone "You! Bring me a slice of apple pie, and a jug of milk."
The clerk, annoyed at her, replied "Sorry ma'am. We're out."
Out! They were out!? She'd gone to all these trouble, graced their establishment with her dark and royal presence, and they DARED be out of apple pie!?
"Out! Unacceptable! You're telling me that I had to walk among these fools, graced your cruddy little bakery, and worst of all, WAITED IN LINE, and you DARE not have apple pie! Who do you think you are!"
She growled loudly, and stomped her foot on the ground in a tantrum. She wasn't going to attack them though. She was a spoiled brat, but she wasn't completely without foresight and patience. She would merely punish this place by denying them her money and her royal patronage.
She stomped out of the building, making a show. Everyone else was giving her a wierded out look, but she just shouted "What are YOU looking at!?" before continueing on her way out of there. This 'chaos' stuff had been nothing but trouble since it had hit her world. The only thing she could say good about it was that at least it had the good sense to leave her intact. That being said, she felt that it could have at least been kind enough to leave her with more of her servants. Having to do things for herself was annoying.

The only thing I'm going to need to ask for here is a bit of extra length. There's nothing wrong with the audition in the slightest, and I find the character rather amusing and think she'll be an interesting one to interact with, we do need five hundred words of an audition from canons. We don't count words or anything, but since the others writing auditions have had to aim for five hundred, we're going to need it a bit closer to that number.
EDIT: And you seem to be adding anyway. XD Just don't forget to [WIP] the audition if you want to add more, since I assumed you were done.

Oh, I must have read the word count for the original characters instead of the canon word count. And I wasn't adding more, I was just doing a bit of proof reading.
Anyways, fixed.

Darklord Mira HEY THERE, THEY CALL ME Darklord Mira AND I'M CURRENTLY 16 YEARS OLD. I'M FROM THE WORLD OF CRYSTAL CHRONICLES WHERE I AM THE Darklord. I GO FOR GUYS AND I WILL THROW MY WEIGHT BEHIND NEUTRAL. ------------------------------------------------- Weapon: Magic, Apart from that, she'll occasionally materialize a sword or bow for a quick attack.
Abilities: Monster Summoning- Mira is capable of summoning monsters, ranging from Goblins to Behemoths to Tonberries. These summons work differently from conventional summons, as they stick around to fight for her until they are either defeated or the battle ends. She is also capable of keeping them around longer though. Given how the circumstances has changed, she can summon roughly a random encounter’s worth of monsters (more or less, three monsters) at the start of a battle. This may not sound like much, but don’t forget that your typical Final Fantasy protagonist usually has a team backing them up, making Mira just as lethal when ‘one on one’. Due to being able to feed off the enemy’s negative emotions, she can summon more as the battle wears on. Theoretically, she is best off when the idea is quantity instead of quality (a mass number of Sanctum or PSICOM units, for example), as that’s more people she can feed off of. Note that she is capable of summong monsters with Eidolon equivalents, such as Tonberries and Behemoths, but they tend to be smaller and weaker.
Artifact Summoning- Mira can also summon artifacts. These artifacts don’t move, making them easy prey. However, while around, they bestow useful effects on her monsters.
Red Mage- If you take away her summoning skills, Mira could best be defined as a ‘Red Mage’ according to classic Final Fantasy classes. She is capable of summoning swords, bows, and use of White and Black magic, and is skilled with all of them. However, the weapons she summons only last for a limited time before vanishing, and her magic selection is neither extensive, nor is it terribly powerful, -a (e.g. Cura) spells and Quake being her strongest. It also bears worth mentioning that she can’t do these very often, making them supplementary at best. Note though, that she is capable of targeting many allies and enemies at once, making her skills weak in ‘1v1’ but frightening when up against a large number of enemies.
Monster Communication- Mira is capable of communicating with any sentient monster species, in addition to ‘common’. This doesn’t mean they’ll listen to her, but it does mean they might be able to reason with them. Of course, if they’re monsters from the Crystal Chronicles universe, they’ll more likely than not obey her.
Cosmetic Magic- Mira is capable of changing her appearance to some extent. The most this can do, however, is change her clothes, hair color, hair style, and eye color. While it may come in handy to some extent by causing it to be easier for her enemies to casually overlook her, or to not look as fearsome, she can’t simply run into a crowd and transform in order to evade her pursuer.
Weakness: Low Endurance- Mira isn’t used to taking blows. The amount of damage she can take is weak, even when compared to your average ‘glass cannon’.
Personality: Befitting her title of 'princess of light and darkness', Mira has traits that you could associate with both good and evil. Mira is very much a spoiled brat. As a child, she was used to getting whatever she wanted, and tormenting whatever she wanted. It didn't help that her father, Darklord Craydall, had died after the miasma had lifted during her childhood. While not overconfident in her abilities, Mira tends to be self-important. She also tends to be rather petty, and ill-tempered. She places stock in having a fearsome reputation.
That being said, she's a pretty decent person. Well, for a monster princess at least. Her goal? At this point, she mostly just wants peace between the tribes and monsters. She recognizes that as Darklord, her job is to look out for the best interests of her people, even as a tyrant, and is willing to work with her former enemies, the tribes, to do that.
History: Mira was a spoiled child, always tormenting the Tonberries and writing spells on the walls. When the Miasma disappeared, so did her father, who sealed himself inside the Dark Crystal. Feeling abandoned by her father, she developed a great resentment against him. On her sixteenth birthday, Mira is crowned the new Darklord and declared total war between monsters and people. Mira embarks on a conquest journey aboard her Flying Tower. She arrived to a town where, despite her initial attack, did not cower in fear from her sight. Tonbetty explained that thanks to the humorous-looking shape of the tower, the villagers confused it for a kind of celebration. Mira then left the town in order to resolve the issue. To do so, she commanded her servant Tonberries to find a famous hero who she could crush. In search for a hero to defeat, Mira arrived to the hideout of a caravan of burglars, in hope that by the defeating the famous Striped Brigands she would obtain the reputation of a dreaded Darklord and lots of striped apples for pie. But when Mira defeated the leader of the gang, it was discovered that they were actually the Stripped Brigand lead by Bel Dat. Bel Dat, irritated by the whole ordeal expresses, that she did have a great treasure, the secret of the new Darklord being half-monster, half-Clavat, and she started to spread the secret all over the world. Mira then went on a rampage, promptly giving Tonbetty a drop kick that almost made her head fly off. When asked to discuss the matter with her father, she quickly refused and sendt the Tonberries to find herself another hero, a female adventurer ready to challenge the Darklord. Upon defeat, the adventurer turned out to be no other than Princess Fiona of Alfitaria, who wished Mira could serve as a bridge between people and monsters so all races could live at peace. Mira, struck by emotion, forgot to deliver the final blow, letting the princess escape. While Mira was enclosed in her bedroom, Stiltzkin arrived to the tower to pay a visit to his old friend Tonbetty. Mira quickly found out the meeting and proceeded to punish them. At that very moment, a legendary hero and his apprentice arrived at the steps of the Flying Tower, postponing Tonbetty's and Stiltzkin's punishment after their defeat. After defeating Hugh Yurg, Mira was ready to deliver punishment to Tonbetty and Stiltzkin, when suddenly Darklord Craydall appeared and revealed that he was the one who put Tonbetty at her service. Mira was surprised to realize her father has been the narrator this whole time, and expresses all the resentment she felt against him. He told her that the potential to become a great Darklord was always in her, so he could retire peacefully into the Crystal. Before leaving, he presented her with a last challenge. After a brief father-daughter conversation, she forgot about the punishment and embarked to the final confrontation against the king of the most prosperous kingdom. When Mira finally arrived at victory, between threats and mockery, she shockingly announced the end of her world-conquering campaign. She wanted to work with the king in order to make the world a peaceful place for both people and monsters. That is, without giving up being the Darklord that she is, earned the title of Princess of Light and Darkness. Some time later, the rumor about the King's Seal, an artifact with the supposed power to make whomever gains it the leader of the world, being somewhere on the island Mira was vacationing at the moment, so she quickly raced against other adventurers to claim it. Later, Fiona revealed that her true intentions was to make Mira construct her tower in the spot where she could offer her a magnificent view as a present. Though the present was welcomed, it is implied that Mira ended up punishing Fiona for the trick. (Source: Wiki)
