Keira (Hero Wars)

Keira is a playable character in the RPG Hero Wars. She is a marksman that can be summoned with 10 soul stones, and is known in the game for the high physical and pure damage that she deals. 
==Appearance==
Keira is a ghost that is composed of blue ectoplasm and glowing white eyes, but she seems to lack legs as a result of this. She also wears a purple hooded cloak that is very torn, and her body is covered in heavy metal chains, and six sharp symmetrical metal blades levitate behind her. Her blooming skin is what she looked like as a royal guard before she died.
==Biography==
When she was alive, Keira aspired to be one of Madam Octaviana's guards, so as a young girl she tried to sign up for the school of mercenaries because all royal guards were required to have graduated from there. While the headmaster dismissed her at first because she was a girl, Keira was very persistent on going and kept pestering him, so eventually the headmaster gave in and she was accepted. Keira was very talented and disciplined, so she ended up graduating and became a member of the Imperial Guard. Octaviana herself noticed this, and Keira became a captain in charge of leading many young men into battle. While at first her underlings made fun of her because of her gender, Keira's leadership skills quickly shut down all insults. 
Unfortunately, during a battle that she fought in Wilheim, she was struck down ignobly by a demon called Morth Cronus, who proceeded to resurrect her as a ghost to torment her even more. After this, Keira decided to join the Guardians of the Dominion as she could save more people that way, and even visited one of her underlings, Sebastian, inviting him to join the Guardians as well.
== Gameplay ==
Keira is a playable character that a player can summon with 10 of her soul stones found early in the game, or received via the daily heroic chest. She is a marksman that deals both physical and pure damage, and agility is her main stat. 
Keira's ultimate, Blade Whirwind, launches all of her blades at enemy units and hits all of the enemy team before returning to her and dealing the same amount of damage again. The most crucial part of this ability is that Keira silences all enemies, making this useful in a PvP fight because the enemy team cannot use their ultimate abilities. Her green skill, Enraged Soul, causes Keira's attack speed to increase dramatically for 5 seconds. Her blue and violet skills are both passives, that Keira's base attacks will ricochet and hit all enemy units, and that if Keira's armor penetration are higher than an enemy's armor, then Keira will end up dealing pure damage. 
Keira's passives are what make her very dangerous, and it is advised to level up Keira's armor penetration as high as possible so that her chances of dealing pure damage to enemy units increases. She is naturally good against mage teams due to mages being squishy and having little armor, as well as having a silencing ult that cancels mage ults. While a potential downside to her blue skill is that the enemy team will gain energy faster because she hits them all, a strong Keira more often than not kills or silences them before they can ult. 
Keira's artifact weapon, Octavia's Blades, will give her entire team an armor penetration buff, so it makes sense to put her on a physical damage dealing team. However, her blue skill also makes her vulnerable to Yasmine teams as Yasmine always attacks the opposing enemy that last attacked her. Keira, being a marksman, is very squishy too, so she can lose a lot of health or die if a strong Yasmine attacks her. 
==Personality==
Keira is a determined, stoic woman that is very loyal and she sees it as her life's purpose to protect the Empress, Octaviana. Even as a little girl, she wasn't one to give up easily as she kept showing up to the school of mercenaries until she was accepted. From them on, she continued to work hard until she was promoted as a royal captain. Keira was a very disciplined woman who valued self control as she managed to successfully train a bunch of young, rowdy inexperienced men into mature soldiers, and where they first made jokes about her gender they looked up to her. She always put on a brave face in battle, although she sometimes did shed a few tears when listening to her one of her underlings, Sebastian's, beautiful music. 
Even after being resurrected as a ghost to suffer, Keira still retained much of her personality when alive as she joined the Guardians to protect the Dominion as a whole. She also still cares about her former underlings, as she visits Sebastian and encourages him to use his talents to serve the Dominion too. Keira deep down is still sad that many of her friends and family still think that she is dead, and she tried to tell a young girl named Fox trespassing on her grave to remember her. Unfortunately, her specter appearance terrified the little girl and she ended up running off. Despite many specters and undead beings are either evil or mindless in the Dominion, Keira is anything but that.
