history;;
Kiara's earliest memory is of smiles and hugs from her parents and siblings, and her mother holding a tiny boy in his arms. Kiara was the second in a family of three: the youngest daughter, but the middle child. Her older sister, Marcella, looked after both her and their younger brother Oliver anytime that their parents were away.
Kiara's most vivid memory is of her home going up in flames when she was five. She has little recollection of what else happened that night, and pardons it as her memory blocking out trauma. All she can remember is that she ran very hard and very far, afraid of the fire and amazed that she'd survived. The fire had somehow not seemed to touch her at all, vaporizing into steam whenever it got close enough, but Kiara at five years old couldn't understand what that could possibly mean. So, afraid of the flames (and a little afraid of herself), she ran.
She ended up in a tiny village, cold, alone, and frightened. A kindly old woman took her in, fed her, clothed her, and raised her for ten years. For a child without a family, in a tiny town in Scotland, no questions were asked about the adoption. Whenever the old woman was asked, she said the girl was her niece that she was taking care of for a while. Kiara never felt so thankful as she did to the old woman, and left when she was sixteen, no longer willing to force the woman to take care of a girl when she was sickly and dying herself. She left the woman with her thanks and her prayers.
For the seven years since then, she's struggled to get by, living in shoddy apartments and taking shoddy jobs. She's ever the optimist, though, and always was sure things would get better. It was during this time that she began to truly experiment with her powers, testing their limits to see what she could do.
After a spectacularly bad experience at her last job, she packed her (very few) possessions and headed off to London. She arrived there on her twenty-third birthday, the same day that a dreamseer met her and told her of her fate -- to take the place of a "Seal" that would shortly fall. Kiara wasn't quite sure what this meant, but filed it away in her mind for later reference.
Almost three months later, she received an invitation to an online community called worldresolution and, curious, decided to check it out.
personality;;
Kiara, despite the hard and unforgiving life she's led, is a very cheerful individual. She loves deeply and hates deeper, and judges a little too quickly when it comes to who she likes and who she doesn't think is worth her time. She's stubborn as an ox, and very clearly an Aries: impulsive, energetic, and aggressive when she has the motivation to be. She has a problem with thinking she's (almost) always right, and tends to be judgmental or short-tempered as a result.
She has little faith in God or Fate, despite the claims that they might have been the forces that brought her to today. She's sure that she's made her own life, thanks, and that she'll keep making it from here on in.
She's also an unfailing optimist, and always hesitant to make other people help her out. Because of this, she tends to end up overworking herself, working in dead-end jobs, and living in the lowest acceptable form of housing available. Her attitude has always been one of "the sun will come out tomorrow."
Because of her loss of her family when she was so young, she has a tendency to make a "false" family of her own, becoming as close to any friends of hers as anyone else would be to their brothers and sisters. She misses her real family very much, but she'll make do with what she has, for now. |
