Age: 21
Gender: Female
Symbol: Occupation: White Fang.
Appearance:- Spoiler:
Note: She is a fairly tall (just under 6 feet) tiger faunus.
History: Kira was born and raised on the streets. At a young age, Kira’s parents were murdered during a hate riot against faunus. She lived in an orphanage for a short time before she was chased out for the same reasons her parents were killed; her heritage once again made life hard. Most faunus had been ran out of town, meaning there wasn’t a single person that would help her. She had to resort to stealing and living on the streets to keep herself alive.
At the age of 9, she finely formed a pseudo family. She joined a sort of thief’s guild. A group of young faunus working together under a sort of tutelage of what seemed to be the only human that treated them with any decency. He gave them a roof to live under, and ways to live day to day, but at the end of the day he got a hefty split of all of the children’s takings from that day. They might have lived in an old abandoned factory and were fed cold left over food from restaurants, but it was home to Kira.
At the age of 14, Kira had become a sort of ‘mother’ for the other children, being the oldest girl there. She had become too tall to keep up with stealing anymore, so she took up a lot of the duties. She cooked, she cleaned, and bandaged up wounds, and she knocked heads of anyone that threatened her family. But things were about to take a turn for the worst within her ‘family’.
At the age of 18, Her tutor took her into his private room one night. He had decided that his original plan of using the children to regain his family’s fortune was a bust. Revealing his true intentions to Kira, he also made it known that he planned to get every penny out of the girls. After first Kira, being the oldest and most ‘mature’ of the girls, was confused, but she soon found out what he meant as she was pinned to the ground with a gun to her head.
Fearing for her life, and something else she held dear, she waited for her chance to stick, kicking him between the legs. During the struggle, Kira managed to pull out his second pistol, but not before he was able to stick the gun up to her head. She sealed her eyes shut, waiting for everything to end. She felt a heavy hit slam into her head, sending her to the ground. Her semblance had awoken before the shot and had managed to stop the bullet from crashing through her skull. She whipped around, and without aiming, proceed to fill her assaulter with bullets. Gathering the few supplies she owned, and the two pistols of her former tutor, before running from the only home she knew, with her new found hatred for humans.
Personality: Can often be cold and uncaring to most humans. When involved with other faunus she is much warmer, and has a tendency to e motherly and protective towards those that have been living a hard life. She has this feeling of wanting them to not have a life like her own. She tends to prefer doing things herself, since she was always responsible for herself, and will often shoulder much more than others.
Strength: Years of living a hard life have made Kira quite athletic. She’s strong and fast. She is also very versatile in terms of weapons, and numerous close range options.
Weakness: Never attended any form of education, so she is not very book smart. Her melee weapon is heavy, leaving her open to fast attacks. And taking advantage of her soft spot leaves her wide open.
Semblance: Kira’s semblance takes the form of an incredibly strong shield that she can either use on herself or others of her choice. While not unbreakable, it has a very high resistance to damage. Kira can safely keep the shielding up for about a minute, afterwards she starts putting her own wellbeing at risk, draining herself of too much energy. She can safely use her semblance once every day because of the energy cost.
