Appearance
Kira stands at a height of 5'4", with a weight of 125 pounds that hints at an active lifestyle. Her skin has a porcelain tone and is free of any obvious scarring. Her eyes are deep brown, almost black. Her hair is black and falls just below her shoulders.
Her fashion sense is almost entirely based on what's popular in the Imperium. Kira typically wears clothes fitted to accentuate her lean figure. She also usually has a gun or two on her person, sometimes visible sometimes not. She likes the colors black and white.
Despite Kira's Fae dominant genetics she still appears to be completely human. The only hints that she is Fae might be Kira's slim body and the sharpness of her eyes when she's angry. She rarely takes advantage of her ability to alter her anatomy or physiology. She used it a handful of times while growing up to make herself look more appealing. The only major change she'd made is when she fled the Imperium in Ash 123 and needed to change her identity, ultimately changing her hair color as well as her facial structure.
Personality
Kira is, above everything else, a determined woman. While her outward demeanor may at times seem innocent, there is a profound depth beneath her seemingly naive facade. She possesses a complex mind, housing serious thoughts that often contrast her innocent exterior.
She is an adrenaline junkie who loves being faced with danger. Not because she has a death wish, but rather, a deep-seated desire to test her limits and emerge victorious. In the midst of action is when she feels the most alive.
Kira enjoys talking to people even if the conversation seems dull or mundane. As far as romance goes, she is more concerned with lust than love. She has a very on-the-go lifestyle which makes it hard for her to commit.
History
Kira's story began in Kalzasi. Her father, a seasoned member of the Circle of Spells, was already advanced into his forties when she was born. Kira was the fruit of his third marriage which was a love marriage to a woman from the Imperium. It was an unconventional relationship, given the conflict between their two homelands, but their love was strong and they made it work.
Kira's father had the unwavering expectations that all his children were to learn how to use a katana and also become mages. However, this ambition bore a cruel cost. Many of his children died during their 18-year-old initiations, including Kira's two full-blooded siblings. Some of his children refused the initiation and cut ties with him leaving him somewhat bitter.
Kira was willing to take on initiation because she wanted to be a good daughter and also because she wanted to be extraordinary. She was initiated into kinetics at the Circle of Wandering. Despite her lack of enthusiasm for this branch of magic, Kira quickly learned that she actually liked it.
Coupled with her training with the katana, she started taking on simple mercenary jobs. Once she started getting into more difficult work, she asked her father for a second rune to help her stay safe. So, he imparted upon her his only other magic, negation.
Their story took a new turn shortly after her first initiation, with her parents' decision to relocate to the Imperium marking a fresh chapter in their lives. This decision was primarily driven by a longing to return to Kira's mother's roots, to be closer to her family. Her father had felt alienated from his friends ever since he married a woman from the Imperium and he had little remaining affection for Kalzasi at that point.
Kira joined them in their journey, although she only intended to stay for a short while. However, it didn't take long for her to fall in love with life in the imperium. She fell in love at her first sight of a motorcycle and she knew she was home when she fired her first pistol.
Kira is currently focused on broadening her horizons and finding mercenary work in the city she now called home.
