Sira

**Sira** is the Love Goddess who gave Mariko Konjo her Love Note. However unlike Trista she did not lose her own she was tasked by the Great Queen of Love to find out how there magic was blocked.

## Appearance

Unlike regular love goddesses who all seemed to be blessed with great beauty and youth, Sira looks like she is pushing into her fifties with graying hair and even her wings droop unusually.

## Character

Sira seems to have a penchant for breaking the rules. Eventually she went to far causing the Queen to both streamline the rules more and punish Sira for her insubordination by taking away her youth. Her current appearance seems to have something to do with Shampoo.

## Plot

While looking for Trista Sira was told that one of the bosses was looking for her. having been called to the Great Queen of Love’s castle twice before, and neither time was a pleasant experience she began to panic, before realizing that it was best to just get it over with quick.

After being mesmerized by the queens beauty Sira shook her head and began protesting her innocence. Calmly the Queen told her that she wasn’t in trouble, she had a task for her and if she completed it well, she may reverse her previous punishment. Sira perked up at this. They had discovered how Shampoo had become resistant to the note since no known rule had been broken meaning someone had found a loophole. The Queen wanted her to go to Earth and investigate; stressing that she couldn’t tell anyone.

She was given a new love note to give to a human and sent on her way. Though she was warned not to try and abuse this new power once she discovered what it was. The Queen smiled when Sira recognized the name.

Knowing she had to get this right if she wanted her youth back Sira looked through a collection of closely situated windows into the real world having narrowed down her candidates to just a few. Eventually she just decided to take a chance and flung her new Love Note at her chosen target hitting Mariko Konjo in the head.

While Sira found Mariko’s excitable nature amusing ultimately, she was just a means to an end. So she pretty much ignored her as she prepared to make her debut as the true Cupid. Though she did stop her from using the note on Ranma since given that he had been covered it would reveal that Cupid was someone who knew him.

Mariko went to Nerima to search for the original Cupid. Against Sira’s warning she was about to held to the Tendo Dojo, when L gave his reply. The goddess eyed Mariko repeatedly through the broadcast, marveling as the girl managed to keep her smiling face intact. However, as the broadcast came to an end, Mariko quickly headed out of the store she was watching it in.

Mariko could barely hide her frustration Sira cautioned her against doing something stupid as it was obviously L’s attempt to get her riled up, but Mariko ignored her. Hearing a passerby suggesting to his companion that they go to the address L mentioned Mariko decided to join them. Sira just sighed and followed. As the crowd became riled up enough to bomb their way into the building Mariko remained deep within them glaring up at it.

Nabiki followed Mariko into a restaurant bathroom and took her note as she was checking herself over. Leading her to one of the stall so the two could talk in private Nabiki explained how Mariko going to L’s allowed her to spot her. Trista and Sira greeted each other with Sira letting Trista believe that she had also dropped her book. When Nabiki noted Mariko’s confusion at the scene Sira explained that you could a love goddess when you touch their note. When Nabiki asked why Sira was acting so nonchalant she told truthfully that she didn’t care about what was happening as it was all the same.

Mariko accused her of knowing that something was up, but Sira countered that she warned Mariko and she didn’t listen. Gaining Mariko’s attention a furious Nabiki called her out for escalating the situation when she cooling it off. Mariko was confident that L wouldn’t be able to find her, causing Nabiki to just shake her head at the cheerleaders’ stupidity. Nabiki was about to ask about the limitations of the Love Goddess eyes, but changed it to how bad were the side effects. Mariko admitted that she gets maybe two days before her lust goes out of control. This was all Nabiki needed for her to decide not to get them, before asking about their limitations.

Mariko explained what she knew with Sira explaining the rest. While getting a picture or video of L would be hard it wasn’t impossible. She told Mariko to go order her food while she gave Sira some instructions. Looking over the goddess Nabiki asked why she looked so old. Sira groaned but Trista spoke up to explain how she broke the rules twice. Sira complained that the Queen retroactively changed them. Seeing that Sira at least knew her stuff she asked her about the rules of the note. Knowing Trista Sira obliged.

After Sira answered all her questions Nabiki asked her why she was really there. Sira knowing that the jig was up explained how the queen gave her a quest. While she didn’t go into any details she told Nabiki that her task didn’t interfere with her at all. Nabiki looked at the goddess in suspicion but decided to trust her. She told Sira to let Mariko know that she was borrowing her note and sent her on her way. After jokingly saluting Sira warned Nabiki that using plain paper to write commands has it limits.

Sira used the remote to flip channels, completely uninterested as Mariko loudly flopped flopping onto her coach. When the cheerleader demanded some sympathy she just sarcastically told her she felt sorry for her in a flat tone, not moving her attention from the television even for an instant. Feeling a shift in her note Sira told Mariko that she was going to get some fresh air.

Once out, Sira pulled out her note and opened it. Within new golden writing was written on a fresh first page that had not existed before asking about her progress. While shocked as the queen had never used this method of communication before, Sira none the less took out her pen and answered, stating that while there was nothing conclusive she was close. The Queen told her not to push, simply stay close and learn what she could passively.

Sira idly looked through her note to see if there were any other changes. She stopped on one particular page and scowled before slamming the book shut and going back in side. Muttering to her self about supid amazons.
