Astrid, Felissa, and Sus are more interested in hunting, fishing, and wrestling than learning about etiquette and history, and they know nothing about their royal ancestry.

Miri Larendaughter is Marda's younger sister, Laren's youngest daughter, and a close friend of Britta, Esa, Frid, Gerti, Steffan, and the sisters Astrid, Felissa, and Sus.

Miri is named after a small mountain flower, the miri flower which children make wishes on. As a child, her father forbade her from setting foot in the quarry where the villagers work daily because that is where her mother died. As a result, she felt unwanted and assumes her small stature prevents her from being useful to her community.

When the chief delegate of Danland announces that Mount Eskel would be the home of the future princess, Miri is chosen, along with other eligible girls, to attend the princess academy. At the academy, she discovers a passion for reading and manages to stand out among her peers due to her intelligence, critical thinking and leadership skills, and willingness to help her classmates despite bitter competition. Her exam scores eventually earn her the title of academy princess. In the end, she returns to her home with dreams of starting a village school.
