### VOW

Sun

KIRA is the main protagonist of Maraway, residing in the district of WROTHILL. She's part of the rebellion team, making her an anti-hero despite her intention to bring justice to innocent people.

## PROFILE

### PERSONALITY

Because of her childhood, Kira's most dominant trait is her apathy - she's known lack understanding towards people's emotions if she doesn't know them well and has a bully mentality, projecting onto others a lot. She's generally rude and has violent or irritable outbursts. She only has a few people she considers friends, VANESSA and NORA. (Including BNHA haven, she also has YOKI and her boyfriend KON). When talking to her friends, she's much more laid back and less wary of the things around her. She still has a difficult time learning a filter and often accidentally hurts her friends sometimes with what she says.

In her childhood years, she was much more timid and was quiet to the people around her. She was convinced the world was dangerous until she met VANESSA, whom she met in church. After meeting more people in her district, she became more confident and loud but still has the mentality that most people are dangerous or shouldn't be trusted. To the small amount of people she does trust, though, she can be very loveable and likes to express it with small gifts and actions. She genuinely cares a lot for people she's close to, especially Vanessa, because of how long they've known each other and how Vanessa consoled Kira after the death of her dad.

### APPEARANCE

Normally, Kira wears her hair (originally light blue, now dyed pink) down or in a low ponytail, with red horns poking out of her head. She has dark blue eyes and typically wears bright clothing and shiny jewelry, most commonly hoop earrings. She has white skin, and her face is normally flushed - the palms of her hands are almost always red because of her lowered body temperature. Kira isn't typically very feminine, and dresses androgynous for the most part unless it's for a special occasion; even then, she likes being comfortable and will probably pair a dress with some converse. You'll never see her *not* wearing eyeliner.

## ABILITIES

### VOW

Kira's vow is the sun. She uses the brightness and heat of the sun to symbolize justice with the rest of her rebellion group.

## STORY

### BACKGROUND

Kira was raised by her mother, ANGEL, and father, COLTON, and grew up with her brother, MERCURY, who is 4 years older than her. They lived in a small house outside of Maraway for the first half of her life. Kira's father was mostly the one to raise her and MERCURY, taking them both to places like Church, after-school activities, and so on. She was not as close to her father as MERCURY was, but they still spent much more time with him. Their mother was more neglectful, and never planned on having kids, so she barely acted like they existed.

Kira suffered through her parent's fights until the age of around 7, when COLTON was killed by ANGEL and the death was reported a suicide. After her father's death, Kira and MERCURY almost stopped talking to ANGEL completely, and began couch hopping shortly after until ANGEL's sister (AMBER) took them both in. They stayed with her for a few years before ANGEL decided to move to MARAWAY, and since she has full custody, they were required to go with her. After moving to Maraway, Kira met VANESSA and NORA in school before the separation of the districts. They grew really close, with their (now ex) friend TAYLOR in the friend group before she was kicked out for joining forces with the spellcasters in CALORWIN.

### CURRENT DAY

Kira now lives in WROTHILL and tries to keep justice using the act of rebellion against the chaos of the districts and government. She still talks to VANESSA and NORA from time to time, but spends most of her time being alone and surviving the chaos of WORTHILL.

## RELATIONSHIPS

### FAMILY

#### ANGEL TAKAHASHI

Kira was never really close to her mother, and they've never had a true bond when it came to hobbies, interests, common likes, etc. Angel's a very monotone person, and doesn't have much passion - the opposite of Kira's personality - So when Kira's father died, their relationship only grew (very drastically) into resentment. Kira, for the most part, ignores her mother entirely, and was relieved to find out that UA came with dorms. They only talk to each other to pick fights and they have no intention on ever having a good relationship again.

#### COLTON TAKAHASHI

While Colton was only around for the first few years of Kira's life, she still trusted him so much and misses him even after 10 years of him being gone. She knows he wasn't a saint but still looks up to him - all of her drive and inspiration is solely making sure she lives up to his ideals, which is why she stood up to the controlling districts in the first place. Whenever Kira and Mercury were in an argument or were distancing, she would try to fix it just so she knew she wasn't disappointing her father.

#### MERCURY TAKAHASHI

Mercury and Kira have always been close, only distancing after Kira moved out. They went through everything together and stuck close after having to live alone with Angel and Amber. Mercury, struggling with drugs at a young age, went to Kira for help a lot.

#### AMBER BITTERFELD

Kira slept over Amber's house so much after her dad's death that she practically moved in for a few years, before they all ended up moving to Wrothill - Amber was never a very responsible guardian, and treated Kira more as a friend than a child she had to take care of, so their relationship was a little weird. Kira still looks up to her, and sees her as a mom.

### FRIENDS

#### VANESSA HOLLOWAY

Since they're separated by the two districts, Vanessa and Kira have very different plans and life goals; however, they still keep in touch regularly. They've known each other since early childhood - seeing one another in school and in church - and they also have lots of similarities when it comes to... bad things that have happened in their lives. They were there for each other for good and bad parts of life, and still care about each other regardless of their distance.

#### KON HIROSHI

(From BNHA haven, so this is just Kira in a BNHA verse): Kira and Kon = the ULTIMATE. DUO. They met in their freshman year of UA and have been connected at the hip ever since. They're (obviously) dating and Kira sees Kon as her best friend. She finds a lot of comfort in him and trusts him with her life, she's already planning the decorations for the wedding.

#### YOKI AMANO

(ALSO from BNHA haven): Kira met Yoki in middle school after she moved from California, and Yoki was practically the first person Kira ever trusted after her dad's death. She loves Yoki like a sister and even though Kira isn't as clingy as she was when she was a child, she still confides in Yoki a lot and cares for her, trying to make room in her schedule for them to hang out so they don't distance.

## TRIVIA

* Kira's name has correlations to the sun, or *beam of light,* and comes from many different cultures such as Russian, Irish, Greek, etc. The name on her birth certificate is Kiara, but she spells it differently.
* Kira's favorite food is cold pizza rolls. She first started eating them because it was the only thing in her fridge and she was too lazy for anything else, but she grew to have a liking for it. Her and Kon often have *cold pizza roll dates* or hang out in Kira's dorm and eat the food when there's nothing better to do.
* Benjamin is the name of Kira's prized plushie, resembling an alligator. Kira doesn't like animals and goes out of her way to avoid them, but Benjamin made her like alligators more.
* Because of her mother, she wasn't allowed to watch TV or play video games until she paid for it with her own money - she ends up finding ...interesting... ways to make money by the age of 14, but she stopped abruptly once she was able to work somewhere else. She worked at a pretzel shop in her freshman year of high school and now works at a pizza place.
