About Kyra the Diplomat

Description: Around 5' 4" in height, weighing 150 lb, Kyra has light brown eyes, black wavy hair, and brown skin who wears clothing both appropriate for where she travels yet distinctly reveals her culture and heritage.

The young woman is both soft spoken, yet firm, in her beliefs and normally even in what she says. Still, she is not convinced that she is worthy of her Goddess' attention or being chosen for some unknown purpose. This uncertainty can at times affect her, though not always in ways easily noticed. Still, she has come to both trust and depend on her dearest friend Akil, who has advised and guided her growth. Even her confidence has improved, especially as time goes on and she has more adventures.

Embassy Familiar: Akil is a black cat embassy familiar, and Kyra's mentor, guide, and adviser who seeks to have the young paladin be all she can be and more. In truth he is actually a silvanshee agnation disguised as a unassuming cat, a celestial sent by Sarenrae to watch over and help Kyra reach her full potential and destiny.

History: A Keleshite born in Katapesh. From a young age, Kyra did not feel she was as important as her peers. Yet, it was found early on that the girl was able to ease tension and conflict, especially among her friends, if disagreement were to arise. As years went on, such a talent would prove to be especially useful and beneficial.

Her family were fairly well to do as his father was a respected merchant who traded all across the land and sea. From a young age, Kyra was able to receive an education as well combat training which she was grateful of. Still though, she often wondered while growing up what her path in life was. The only thing she was certain in is her belief in Sarenrae, one shared very much by her parents who taught her well the scriptures of the Goddess.

When about ten years old, a surprising encounter would lead to the girl adopt a seemingly normal cat who would then be her companion and confident growing up. She named him Akil, because of how intelligent he seemed. Kyra would not learn until much later how important this meeting was, as even when so young this creature appeared to guide the girl into making certain choices. Yet, it was only one reaching the age sixteen that Akil would reveal that he was no ordinary cat and that the young woman was chosen by Sarenrae for a great purpose.

This would lead to Kyra taking up the path of a paladin, one chosen by The Dawnflower and who swore an oath to serve the common good by finding and thwarting those who abuse their authority. All the while guided by one who called himself her embassy's familiar, she learned both of herself, of combat, and of the world beyond her home. More, after travelling together for a couple of years Akil even came to indicate that he had more to reveal of himself when the time was right.
