Queen Bee/Miria

Miria is an optional boss in part 2 of Paradox. She fights the party if you side against the insects or vote for Spider Princess during her sidequest.

Recruitment
Either make peace between the plant tribe and insect tribe or side with the insects. Afterwards, Miria will join the party if you ask her, unless you sided against her.

Biography
After she has joined the party by brokering peace or by supporting her in the conflict in Plansect Village, she plays a minor role as Luka is recruiting Spider Princess: The arachne wants to be chosen as the next insect queen, and has to be acknowledged by her peers, namely Miria and Antline Ann, who refuse to see the cruel spider comes to the throne even as the latter promises that she changed. Luka can side with either party, and if he sides with Spider Princess, he will fight Queen Ant and Queen Bee at the same time (although they will stay in the party). If Luka does so, the two insect queens relent but remain worried about their future. If Luka instead side with them to fight Spider Princess, Queen Bee will recognize Queen Ant's wisdom and will nominate her instead, while Spider Princess will fulminate. However, the latter will still join Luka afterwards, completely enamored with him.
