Kira Illyria

Kira Illyria was born in Camvonia, the daughter of two Zjau-Yi immigrants. Her childhood was a rough one; she was constantly harassed for being “non-Camvonian”, which eventually culminated in an accident where she fractured her right kneecap and lost an eye. After that, through the arduous recovery period, she began learning the basics of magic from her parents, for which she had a decent affinity. She learnt how to defend herself, and she studied combat and law extensively so she knew what she could get away with, and how to get away with it. For the rest of her time in education, she was not harassed again. As soon as she graduated she joined the Neo-Camvonian military.

Most people didn’t expect her to get far. Cripples had no place in the military. Though her accident was years behind her, she never recovered the use of her eye and she still had to walk with a limp. Still, her magic compensated for her disabilities, and her dedication and diligence in studying military theory in her spare time served her well. She climbed the ranks quickly, enough to secure a significant command by the time of the war against Neo-Arcadia. Despite her physical weakness, she took to the field and led her troops into battle.

In the ensuing engagements, she proved herself a cunning, adept tactician, leading her command to victory after improbable victory with unadulterated determination and psychopathic ruthlessness. Her unquenchable desire for victory, strength, and the destruction of her enemies at any cost quickly caught the attention of the higher-ups. Even though she was of Zjau-Yi descent, and even though she was disabled, her merit was sufficiently impressive that she was promoted to become a senior commander. She now wears her status with pride, as a symbol that hard work, persistence, and a lack of scruples is enough to overcome any difficulty. As the Continental War begins, she prepares to command her forces once more and annihilate anyone who dares to stand against her.
