Kyana

Kyana's Season 3 Artwork by Wally

**Kyana** is a Oloranwë (Kalashtar) monk/barbarian and part of the crew of the *Per Aspera*. She is played by Red.

## Description

### Appearance

Kyana is a blonde, muscular, and tanned human-looking (kalashstar) woman. She is the shortest member of the party, barely taller than five feet. She can summon a glowing golden astral visage and astral arms that have a ten-foot reach. During season 2, she gets a golden tattoo across her back that depicts the stars in a Feywild constellation of a six-legged displacer beast.

### Personality

Kyana is energetic and optimistic, usually seeing the best in others. However, she is very protective of her friends and easily becomes angry at those who others harm them. Although she can often detect when people are being dishonest, she is not very skilled at deception herself. Kyana sometimes enjoys the thrill of battle, but she has a kind heart and regards most individuals she meets as potential friends. She also has a soft spot for animals. Because of her upbringing in the monastery, she has developed a mistrust for authority figures.

## Trivia

* Kyana's player, Red, is also known for her work on the YouTube channel Overly Sarcastic Productions and her fantasy webcomic Aurora.
* In a five-man-band setup, Kyana is the [original answer?]. As of the end of season 4, she is the Big Guy (and potentially, partially, the Heart).
* Her yearbook superlative would be "sunniest disposition."
* In modern fashion, she would wear sleeveless sweatshirts, or "cozy athleisure."
* If she had her own spelljammer, it would look like the solar sailor/skiff/skateboard from *Treasure Planet*.
* On a vacation in the real world, she would want to visit a cave with a forest in it.
* If she retired from adventuring, she would die, probably.
* Kyana starts the story at about 19 years old, and thus is about 21-22 by the end of season 4.
* For Halloween, she would dress up as Luke Skywalker from Star Wars.
