Mavis Karatuś Beacon is a Kiravian typing instructor widely hailed for her role in democratising typing skills in Kiravia, contributing to the country's post-Kirosocialist economic success.

Early life

Beacon was born in 1966 AD in the inland Koskenkorvan town of Arukūla, which at that time was the service hub for an enormous collective dairy farm now owned by Banya Sēora SAK. Her parents were both schoolteachers, whom she credits for nurturing her abilities as an instructor and communicator. Beacon's first exposure to typing was during intermediate school, on typewriters produced by the state-owned Typographical Machine Works in Trár. Typing classes had only recently been introduced below the secondary-school level as part of Kiravian Union's latest quinquennial plan and were generally elective in nature. Beacon bristled at how the impersonal, demanding Qórellin Method of instruction favoured under Kirosocialism applied to typing, and although she herself persisted with and earned high marks, she believed this was responsible for many of her classmates underperforming or dropping the course entirely.

Legacy

Beacon was appointed to the Grand Order of Distinguished Service by Prime Executive Irasur Mérovin.
