Kira Woodville

Who are you? Me? My name is Kira. I'm the guard on this airship, so I'm asking you nicely: don't come any closer to the cabin. Are there any officials among you? The pilot and I will only speak to the authorities. Our business here is strictly confidential, and extremely urgent.

- **Kira Woodville**

Kira Woodville is a member of the Security Service, and was once Mr. Black's most trusted agent. She served as Rayden Storke's bodyguard during their mission to the Lower City to find the Mystery Solver.

## **Plot**

The player finds Kira and Rayden inside the mysterious blimp that had suddenly crash-landed into the Airship Dock. The two of them were sent by the Head of the Security Service to find the Mystery Solver who would save the Upper City from the fog. This Mystery Solver turns out to be the Player, who subsequently agrees to go with the pair to the Upper City.

Upon returning to the Upper City, the three are confronted by Mr. Black, who reveals that some anti-fog crystals were stolen from his office by a group of scavengers (led by someone simply known as Miss) while Kira and Rayden were away, and Kira assists her leader's investigation to find the thieves.

In Answers to All Questions, it is revealed that Kira was the Miss all along, and that she had conspired with Vera and Alicia to steal the anti-fog crystals from Mr. Black's office to activate the Architect's SUNBEAM device. With Black's grudging approval, the group manages to activate the device and drive the fog away from the Upper City.

Despite Kira's betrayal, Mr. Black still trusts her enough to make her his back-up when he and Rayden go to the Negotiation Room to meet with Violet in Playing to Live. When the two failed to return from the so-called peace talks after two hours, Kira and Carlos Light follow them to the Negotiation Room and, with the player's assistance, manage to rescue Mr. Black and Rayden from the board game that Violet had trapped them in.

## **History**

Kira came from the real world. Both her parents are secret agents, and she had been taught the secrets of their trade ever since a young age. Before the Distortion, she and her family had visited the City under the guise of gold miners to collect some mystical dust. Kira then left the City, but was eventually brought back through one of the Collector's portals, which took her to a room in the Cult of Shadows' castle. She was made to participate in the Cult's various experiments, until the Collector helped her escape and then disappeared. Since then, Kira had been looking for the Collector, hoping that he could help her leave the City.

For some time, Kira lived as a mercenary, because most people were unwilling to hire a woman as a guard despite her skills. One day, Mr. Black witnessed her fight and he offered her to work for the Security Service, which she gladly accepted. However, when the fog began to engulf the Upper City, she became disillusioned by the Head of Security Service's ineffective methods in handling the crisis, and his unwillingness to listen to others. After Vera saved her life during a conflict, Kira began secretly working with her to help the scavengers behind her leader's back.
