¶ Description
A youthful charr of average stature at best, Kira wasn't much in way of a combatant despite her otherwise athletic form. Her chestnut fur was smooth and relatively short, covered in a pattern of creamy colored spots. Atop her head and nestled between the smallish horns was her brushed back loose mane of a pleasant coffee tint.
While her size and shape left much to be desired, that didn't mean she wasn't a capable soldier in her own right, the Legion training made sure of that. What it was definitely clear, however, is that it wasn't her favored approach, instead Kira relied mostly on her intellect and skills as a scientist and researcher.
While Kira had a slightly depressed and lonely streak which was sometimes more obvious than others, she happened to hide it fairly well with a slightly smiling face and a clear, compassionate and spirited approach. Despite that, from time to time she definitely had lapses into more harmful and unhappy episodes, which remained mostly hidden from other people to the best of her ability. In general, Kira was a reasonably serious, friendly and kind charr.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suspicious | Scarring | Weak Form | Strength of Mind | Mental State |
| A natural consequence of her Ash Legion training made Kira into a somewhat suspicious and occasionally reserved charr. While in no way paranoid, she had a tendency to let people make their move first before reacting. | Parts of her body were severely scarred over by chemical burns and as a result furless. This was most noticable on her arms but occasional flecks would crop up elsewhere as well. Being usually well covered, this wasn't always obvious. | Kira was not built for any kind of physical work and despite keeping in shape, a pretty ineffective soldier outside of her domain. She had the training, but lacked the skills or interest for getting involved with any kind of combat. | An intelligent woman for sure, Kira had a good amount of training and experience in her field of natural sciences, chemistry, alchemy. While she shied away from using magic in most circumstances, she had a good grasp on it. | Prone to harmful behaviour, she was plagued with instances where her poor mental state affected her performance. Still, these lapses remained mostly hidden away. |

¶ History
Like any other good charr, Kira spent most of her formative years in the fahrar, a child of Ash legion officers Spirita Fiendbite and Venatus Ghoulgouge. Her experiences there were far from stellar. The smaller, less confrontational girl was an easy target and was regularly picked on, which required numerous Primus' interventions. This helped grow her in a more reserved and wary individual who also happened to not get along with her fahrar warband for obvious reasons. Instead, her focus was aimed towards study and while she did go on and play the part, she was not particularly involved with her bandmates. Her involvement with scientific work offered some exposure which led to networking that helped her loosen her ties with her warband and find temporary work as a free agent.
The more recent chapter in Kira's history starts with joining Shriek. While she was recruited primarily due to her proficiency with potent alchemical mixtures, she slowly became a mainstay in the warband despite her up to that point fairly reclusive nature. Recruited by Lovantia Scowlshriek, Kira was additionally trained and given further assignments during her involvement with Shriek operations. While her interest with Plague warband started as a personal endeavour, it was recently supplemented with a request from Centurion Aesicia Direfleet to further monitor their activity. While she's not particularly pleased with having to write reports on their inner workings, Kira finds solace in the fact that it's an interesting experience in general literary work as nobody would believe a word of what she writes anyway.
¶ Notes
¶ Notable relationships:
Lovantia Scowlshriek.
- Lovantia was Kira's first contact in Shriek and the charr who originally offered her a position in the warband. What started as a very formal relationship over time grew into an actual friendship and Lovantia remains one of Kira's most trusted friends and also her closest tie to the warband itself. Without Lovantia's involvement, it's likely she wouldn't be associated beyond her initial assignment.
Tenatus Stormshriek.
- Shriek's Legionnaire was probably one of the most difficult people Kira's ever had to deal with. Much to her misfortune, Tenatus had no intention in keeping Kira around after her usefulness ran out and it was only by Lovantia's intervention that she was kept around. While he doesn't consider her a particularly competent soldier in the field, he doesn't lack trust in the abilities she's proven to have. In return, Kira herself was never too happy with Tenatus but respects his authority.
Salvius Plaguetrace.
- Consensual hand holding. Kira met Salvius after being exposed to Plague warband and their relative similarity in terms of scientific work and interests has made her grow closer to them over time. As their interactions grew more obvious and as such pointed out by others, Kira actually became more confident about their relationship.
Plague as a whole.
- Honestly at this point Kira barely even remembers what drew her to this warband though it was probably the case of just stumbling on them during one of their shenanigans. However, after being introduced to the group, the charr happily assisted where needed and built some degree of rapport with its members. What she found perhaps most fascinating and also longed for in some fashion was their sort of familial relationship and trust. Even as an alien she was treated with more respect than she's had previously in life, which in turn led her to be more interested in the warband. Unfortunately, as her association with Plague was uncovered, she was placed in a precarious position where Centurion Direfleet requested Shriek to keep an eye on their activities and provide regular updates.
