Micaiah Cain (Epiphany)

THEME: Micaiah Cain is a character in Epiphany. She is the leader of Louisville, Kentucky. In the aftermath of The Plague's rapid spread and the dissolution of the national government, the local government was able to resuscitate the city and keep its metaphorical heart beating. Having formed an alliance with Gwen Temple, Bryce Cunningham and the rest of the New Venice city council, Micaiah has taken a different approach to her leadership: She leads her city as a dictator. She rules her city under an iron fist and a heart of gold; Micaiah deeply cares about the city and its well-being. While New Venice poses concern, Micaiah is more annoyed than anything at the idea of an outside threat.

Personality
Micaiah is a bit of a control freak with an insistence on keeping her hands on every situation. Her personality is hard to determine and seems to fluctuate and be dependent on who she is around and what she can gain from them; one moment she comes off as flighty along with other obsessive-compulsive neuroses, and in the next, confident and manipulative. Micaiah uses her uptight eccentricities in an attempt to make her look less threatening.

Her ability to make decisions at a breakneck pace makes her a leader who is looked up to in many desperate situations. Micaiah seems to be experienced at what she does, but would never let anyone know her history, as she is extremely guarded and does not like to get personal with others. She doesn't seem to thrive on social connection with others, but she does deeply care about the well-being of her city in general.

Pre-series
Micaiah was a politician in her former days, involved in the local government in some capacity before the spread of The Plague, though her exact position is unknown. She doesn't like to divulge information about her past.

Book One: Revelation
