Kira is a member of the Northmen tribe and Raf's sister.

History[]

Early History[]

Kira and her older brother, Raf, grew up in the Northmen tribe, born to a farmer and his wife.

When Kira was eight, a warning that a rogue troll was nearby went out, and Raf left his sister with a neighbour while he followed the tribe's warriors. Afterwards, Kira learned that both of her parents had been killed by the troll, leaving her and Raf as orphans. As such, the pair had to care for one another, and farmed the small plot of land beside their hovel.

Kira doted on her brother for the next several years, but as Raf began to criticise the tribe's chief and his decisions, Kira became distressed and often tried to warn her brother that this was how things went for people in their position and that he risked being banished.

Troll Mountain (Episode I)[]

One day, Kira was taken ill with the mysterious disease that had been afflicting the tribes of the River Valley, and so Raf tended to her, which Kira found amusing since she usually doted on him. However, over the next several days, Kira’s condition worsened, and there continued to be no sign of the party led by Bader to Troll Mountain returning with the mysterious elixir to cure the disease,

When Raf decided to journey there himself to get the elixir, Kira protested, knowing that the trolls would demand Raf's life in exchange for the elixir. She begged him not to sacrifice himself for her, stating that she couldn't live knowing Raf had traded his life for hers. However, Raf had no intention of doing sacrificing his life, and told his sister that he planned to steal the elixir from the trolls, setting off soon after.

Troll Mountain (Episode III)[]

Raf returned to the village several days later, finding Kira's fever had worsened considerably. Having learned the truth that the elixir was merely a mixture of juices made from citrus fruits, Raf woke his sister from her fitful sleep and gave her lemon juice. After briefly expressing relief at her brother's safe return, Kira fell to sleep again, the effect of the juices already having a soothing effect on her.

The next morning, Kira joined Raf and most of the villagers as they abandoned the head family following the exposure of Bader's deceptions, heading north to find new lands to settle in. Kira's condition continued to improve as they went, and soon she and the others established a new village in the plains north of the Black Mountains.

Personality[]

Kira is quieter and less adventurous than her brother Raf, and is a sweet girl who cares deeply for her older brother. Although Raf is four years older, Kira frequently worries about him and looks out for him. She often cautions Raf to stay out of trouble, especially when he publicly criticises the tribal chief and head family, and she fears he will be banished from the village.
