Hira M. Luna

**Hira M. Luna** was a recurring antagonist in the World of the Exceed. She was a criminal queenpin, drug lord, and owned the business Luna Industries. She was the wife of Hargon L. Luna and the mother to Adolf, Ch'en, and Nightshade.

## Appearance

Hira was a young thirty-year-old woman with silvery white hair and eyes, a naval commander's uniform, a massive sword for protection. She also has fake Anthropomorphic parts such as two metal horns above her head that are actually mechanisms that sense all activity in a fifty-foot radius, and an organic-looking tail which is actually an artificial defense.

## Personality

Hira has a unlikable and manipulative personality. She doesn't really love anyone and only "cares" for them if they will be useful for her in the present or future. She doesn't like being seen as weak and will take any taunt as a challenge for her position of power and superiority. She also cares about money more than she could care about any real living thing, and is described as "having a bank vault for a heart" by Pengu T. Tykor.

## Relationships

Adolf M. Luna - Hira's second-born child and only son, had a growing despise and hatred towards his mother, after she put him through years of torture only for her own benefit. And even though her worked for her, Hira rarely spoke to her son and only missed his usefulness when he died.

Ch'en M. Luna - Hira's first child and only true daughter, also hates her mother. However, these feelings are mutual as Hira also hates Ch'en for not working for her and rejecting family loyalty. Not to mention, Ch'en joined law enforcement as an agent and therefore is an automatic sworn enemy to Hira.

Nightshade - Unlike the other children, Nightshade appears to be the only one that shows love for Hira. Although this is only because Hira tortured Nightshade into making her believe that she owed her for saving her from the orphanage. In reality, Nightshade was truly just obsessed, and Hira couldn't have cared less about what would happen to her adoptive daughter.

Hargon L. Luna - Like most criminal queenpins in the mob world, Hira only has a husband for profit, and neither of them are very fond of each other. Hira forced Hargon into submission to become a manager at Luna industries, much to the latter's dismay. They never spoke much and had many love affairs on each side during their marriage.

Pengu T. Tykor - Pengu was the only one that Hira had to stay professional with, since he was a business partner. Although the two didn't get along well; Pengu thought that Hira only cared about money, and Hira saw Pengu as a senile nuisance that she was forced to deal with. Hira even made it clear to Pengu multiple times that if he wasn't in business with her she would shoot him on sight.

## History

### Early Life

Hira's original birth name was Hira M. Lodge, and she lived with a tainted name. In the small village that she resided in, her father had been arrested for attempted murder and her mother could barely keep the roof over their heads. Most of the people in the village thought the Lodges were weak, and from the moment she was born, Hira hated weakness. Her father always told her that she had to be strong, and perhaps that played a part in her Atychiphobia.

When she reached her teen years everything went worse when new girls moved to town, and they found out about her failures that were called parents. They ruthlessly bullied her for it, and she spent the next three years struggling to stay alive. Every day she was beaten badly and called names so horrible that it permanently damaged her self esteem.

And the worst of it happened when she was fourteen. The girls that bullied her had some friends that were boys, and one of them sexually assaulted her in the locker-room, getting her pregnant. Her mother didn't care much, and when she had her daughter she named her Ch'en. Just a year later she gave birth to her son, Adolf, when she went to the apartment of an older boy she had been dating.

When she was sixteen she decided she had had enough and decided to drop out of school. For the next year she found work to support herself and her mother, but she was still being recognized as a failure. With all her father's influence and all of the bullying that had happened at school, she had developed Atychiphobia, a fear of failure. So, she decided to kick her mother out of the house, as she was a "nuisance", and went back to school.

She was only sixteen and she had already been moved up two grade levels to the senior class, and was able to surpass even that in just a few months. She found more work, better work, that paid more. Made some money, got a better house, and prepared herself for a faraway prestigious school called Harvard University that had invited her. She attended the university for two years and had been given a doctorate for business administration. She was only eighteen at this time, her daughter was only four, and her son, three.

But still, she wanted something better. The Lodge name was still tainted. So she decided to change it to a better one, Luna. She then created Luna Industries, which turned out to be a flourishing company. She enjoyed all the money, and wanted to train her children to be just like her so they could work for her and get her more money. But she thought that they weren't enough, so she went to the local orphanage and picked up a small girl that didn't even have a name. So Hira named her. She picked a menacing name just fitting for what she wanted her daughter to become, and that name was Nightshade.
