Kyra

Personality

Kyra is a playful, sarcastic girl, and always has been. She is typically somewhat disrespectful, but not out of malice. Rather, she is simply a creature of habit. The way she interacts with others formed long ago, as a child, when she was growing up alone with her brother. There were no parental figures in her life after a point, and she became extremely self-reliant, to the point that she simply became someone who was prone to challenging others.
That said, she is a well-meaning person. She has a genuine interest and curiosity in anything and everything that defies her expectations. When she wants to delve deeper into a topic, she does so head-first. Her desires to experience everything the world has to offer can, at times, be a little dangerous and self-destructive.

Apparel & Accessories

On Frojier, Kyra often wore leathers and furs, appropriate for hunting as well as day-to-day life. Abroad, her styles changed. When she first arrived to Arcassia, she was given the usual frilly foppery nobility in Arcassia are prone to wearing, but she found it terribly uncomfortable. She took to the dress of sailors, preferring trousers to skirts, and light cotton shirts that allowed her skin to breathe. Though a little hot, she also took to fitted cotton slops and leather boots that nearly reach the knee.

Specialized Equipment

Often wields unique Bïté blades when the need to conjure them arises. She prefers them to be serrated, and about the length of her forearm.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Kyra was born a year after the birth of her brother, Nico. When she and her brother were children of ten and eleven, their father passed of a heart attack, and their mother died the same year after grief took her.
After that time, with nothing to trade or give to sustain their home, they relocated to the lower boroughs of Hûile, where they shared what was essentially a one-room home, sleeping in common room near the cookpot.
In their early-to-mid teens, the two took up professions. Nico took to trading and merchandising while Kyra, who had found herself to be rather skilled with Bïté. She enlisted as an apprentice huntress, and took to the trade quickly. The two didn't move out of their hovel during this time, however, instead amassing a savings, with which they purchased a domesticated hunting tiger to aid Kyra in solo hunts, since she didn't get along very well with hunting bands.
When she was nineteen, she was on a solo hunt when two objects fell from the sky. One landed not a day's journey away, and her curiosity got the better of her. She trekked towards the wreckage, but before reaching it, caught the trail of people. She followed the trail to a cave where she found survivors of the V.S. Iona, an Arcassian airship, barely surviving the "cold" of Hivor, or what was essentially summer.
Muddling through the language barrier, she managed to take the small crew to Hûile and contact the government for assistance. She took them to her and Nico's small home to help them get warm and feed them while awaiting an emissary. Both Kyra and her brother found it very peculiar how terribly cold the foreigners were, and eventually managed to warm their house to a relatively comfortable temperature for them, though it was a swelter for the siblings.
When the emissaries arrived to greet and relocate the foreigners, Kyra insisted that she stay with them. With the help of Cyjyhd, the Scholar, she managed to finally have a somewhat direct conversation with Jane Adair, who was the anthropologist among the group, due to Cyjyhd's understanding of the language that had evolved into Arcassian. She was fascinated with these strange people, and grew very attached to them very quickly -- in particular, Jane.
Jane also took a liking to Kyra. While deliberating on ways to help the foreigners escape Frojier, Kyra volunteered as a subject for a religious ceremony to help open the language centers of the mind to better understand foreign languages. It was a success, and Kyra began to pick up on Arcassian quite quickly. This helped to strengthen her infatuation with Jane, and in short time, Kyra challenged the reservations of Arcassian culture by initiating a romantic relationship with Jane.
Some nights later, a Vaati pirate crew from the Symoran Isles who had been stalking both of the Arcassian ships before the crashes swept into the city and kidnapped the foreigners, Kyra, Cyjyhd, and his elderly mentor Yêhá.
Yêhá sustained injuries during the kidnapping, and his health deteriorated. When he died, Kyra cried with Cyjyhd. Both Cyjyhd and Yêhá were important figures in Frojier. As per Frojien tradition, Kyra immediately respected the man who was formerly Cyjyhd as Yêhá, because it was his duty to take over that appointment. The Vaati had already captured the survivors of the other Arcassian ship -- pirates that had initially been chasing the other. They managed to at least negotiate for the return of Yêhá with the body of the former Yêhá to Frojier, then continued onward to the Vaati's homeworld--the Symoran Isles.
Taken to the Symoran Isles, Kyra fell ill. She was unable to withstand the extreme heat of the isles. After their Vaati captors were ordered to release them per their Vaatun--their village elder--Jane and her companions warily joined forces with Evil, the captain of the vessel that gave chase to the V.S. Iona. Because of Evil's connection to the Vaatun, they were able to purchase a small ship to return to Arcassia with for the small price of some of Kyra's Bïté power. Kyra hesitantly complied, if only because she was promised that Arcassia wouldn't be quite as hot as the Isles. The crew picked up a straggler from the Vaati's pirate crew, and headed for Arcassia. Kyra recovered on the ship.
When they made it to Arcassia, Kyra was greeted with instant curiosity. She was afforded lodging in Jane's family home--a mansion in a noble district. Kyra was invited to many parties and gatherings by nobles as an extreme curiosity. She also started to get invites from commoners, which she took up gladly, much to Jane's chagrin. During these street parties, she met Telyn, who she briefly physically indulged with, frustrated that she had to hide the nature of her relationship with Jane, and further frustrated knowing that Jane was betrothed to a man already.
The parties and the fling didn't last much longer, however, as during one press conference, Kyra was asked if she had any sort of relation to a notorious convict who had recently escaped a nigh inescapable Arcassian prison. Seeing the photograph of the convict, Kujin, she instantly recognized her as another Frojien, albeit one she didn't know. Later, she impressed upon Jane how important it was to find this person. Though she wasn't entirely sure why she wanted to meet her so badly, it was evident to some others that she was getting extremely homesick.
Jane, however, was embroiled in one too many things at the time. Her wedding date was fast approaching. Kyra proposed that Jane simply refuse to marry, but the Arcassian woman was uncomfortable with that prospect, so another plan was devised. Kyra consorted with Evil, who had briefly been arrested then was granted a full pardon by Jane's father because of the role she played in helping Jane to return home. They devised a plan with Jane's blessing to stage a kidnapping during the wedding ceremony and flee into the Void so Jane could continue her work.
Before the wedding date, Kyra started her hunt for Kujin, who it turned out had taken a keen interest in Kyra in turn, and who had been watching her from a quite close proximity. Eventually, Kujin allowed Kyra to find her in a secluded rural area of Arcassia. There, they spoke privately at some length. This resulted in Kujin joining along with the planned heist.
The wedding heist was a success, and the launching point from which Jane and company began their years-long exploration of the void aboard a Veilship. Kyra trained on the ship with Kujin, who taught her more advanced techniques of Bïté manipulation, including a method of regulating her own temperature when enduring extreme heat.
Within a few years, Kyra and Jane arranged to marry one another, and they returned to Frojier to hold the ceremony. One year later, they made plans to conceive a child between the two of them using Dusterthian technology. In time, they would have at least two children this way: Percival and Tigi.
