Appearance

Crystal Witch Kiashandra, Death Dealer, an Elothean.
She has a generous mouth, tilted almond-shaped violet eyes and a freckled nose.
Her red-gold-streaked golden hair is very long and fine, and is worn in a simple, pulled-back style held in place by a trio of goldenglow glaes chains suspending lustrous celestial riftstone charms.
She has tanned skin and a scattering of vivid scarlet fire-roses glowing like banked embers upon a lissome figure.
She is tall for an Elothean.
Some tiny murder crows carved from shadowy seordstones float lazily around her neck.
She is middle-aged.
Her right hip has a tattoo of a gigantic sea turtle carrying a crescent moon in its jaws.

Facts:

• Birthdate: Kia was born on the 23rd day of the 2nd month of Ka'len the Sea Drake, in the year of the Golden Panther—317 years after the legendary victory of Lanival the Redeemer. Her birth was marked by rolling tides and a sky streaked with gold, an omen, perhaps, of the fate that would shape her destiny.
  
• Familiar: Ever at her side is Khepri, the enigmatic golden panther—more than just a familiar, she is a guardian, a shadow in battle, and a silent force of nature. Whether prowling ahead or resting at Kia’s feet, her presence is a constant, unwavering bond of strength and loyalty.
  
• Ogres: Kia harbors an unquenchable hatred for ogres, a rage carved into her soul by years of torment at their monstrous hands. As a young Warrior Mage, she fell to them more times than she can count, each death searing her resolve. Now, she hunts them with relentless fury, going out of her way to eradicate the vile creatures wherever they lurk. To Kia, there is no such thing as an innocent ogre—only a threat waiting to be cut down.

Fir Familiar Quest

As a young Warrior Mage, Kia embarked on a sacred quest to summon a fir familiar, an essential rite of passage. She expected to call forth a creature of the ordinary sort, but fate had other plans. To her astonishment, she summoned a golden panther — an extraordinary rarity, shimmering like sunlight on burnished metal. Khepri is a vision of raw power and elegance. Her sleek, golden fur is adorned with subtle rosette markings, a near tone-on-tone pattern that catches the light in mesmerizing ways. Beneath her languid, fluid movements lies a strength both formidable and precise. Her piercing violet eyes gleam with intelligence, betraying a mind as sharp as her claws. Fiercely loyal and ever watchful, Khepri stands as an unyielding guardian over Kia and the small but spirited Bastet. She is more than a companion—she is a sentinel, a protector, and a force to be reckoned with, standing unwavering at Kia’s side in battle and beyond. When the moonlight filters through the trees, Khepri moves like a living shadow, her golden coat catching silver streaks as she prowls the canopy. Though fierce in battle, in the quiet of the night, she is a creature of deep affection—resting her great head against Kia’s side, a silent promise of unwavering devotion. At times, Kia swears she can hear the soft hum of ancient magic in Khepri’s purr, a bond between them older than memory itself.

History

Kia's past is shrouded in mystery. Stricken with amnesia, she has no recollection of her childhood—whether she was abandoned by her family or if something so devastating occurred that her mind erased it entirely. The truth remains a void she cannot fill. Solitude has long been Kia's way of life. She has spent years wandering the wilderness, honing her survival skills through relentless training, hunting prey through dense forests, and navigating the untamed backwoods alone. The only warmth in her isolated existence comes from her feline companions—Bastet, a spirited kitten, and Khepri, her silent, watchful golden panther. On the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, in the year of the Amber Phoenix, 423, Kia's fate took an unexpected turn. She was welcomed into a new kind of family, adopted as a little sister to Starrfire, marking a pivotal moment in her journey—one that would shape her future in ways she never anticipated.

Home

After countless moons of searching, Kia at last discovered the perfect treehouse — a hidden sanctuary nestled high among the branches. Its sturdy limbs and serene surroundings make it an ideal refuge, and Khepri, ever watchful, spends most of her time lounging lazily in its canopy, surveying their domain from above. Her home is a massive weeping willow tree with numerous long, flowing branches, creating an expansive, sweeping effect. The branches cascade down in elegant, thick strands, creating a dense, lush canopy. The tree towers over its surroundings, with branches extending widely in every direction, creating a majestic and dramatic effect. The leaves are delicate and hang down gracefully, with light filtering through them, when the sunlight hits just right.
