Personality: Fairly nonchalant, there to enjoy life, and usually up for a good challenge. Though she's generally pretty blunt, she can be a bit smoother with her words when necessary.

Appearance: A bit lighter-skinned than the average Sand Elf, more bronzed; pine green eyes flecked with gold; cropped, light auburn-bronze hair that almost seems dusty, kept a little longer in front in part to hide the small lumps where antlers would have grown on a fullbood Elf; pointed ears with various piercings. Her clothing is well worn and rarely matches, and she generally carries the large red duffle bag with her belongings slung across her shoulder, making it look lighter than it actually is.

Born into a Sand Elf tribe, Kyra was raised the same as any Sand Elf child, though being half human (second generation hybrid) she was one of the quicker to age and was deemed an adult by her 30's. Not long after, she had been helping out with a trade when magic users nearby apparently had a problem; what exactly happened is unsure, but a strange sort of explosion resulted in a number of deaths and mutations (mostly fatal) nearby, including a few members of the tribe. Of those affected, Kyra was one of few who seemed alright, though in shock.

Not wanting to risk things becoming worse the tribe was quick to leave, a couple more dying off before they got far. Because of the increased attention that resulted, they were quick to notice when Kyra seemed to quickly be getting sick. Initially she was fatigued, then feverish, and soon she was incoherent and incapable of walking. Part of the tribe stayed up that night to attend her, while others couldn't sleep through her moans and occasional screams. Not long before morning she finally quieted down, stopped thrashing, and turned cold. She was thought to be dead, as even a pulse couldn't be found, and so was prepared for burning.

As soon as the fire touched her flesh though, Kyra woke and leapt at the first figure that came within her sight, snarling and clawing as others rushed in to restrain her. As the smoke wafted her way, she calmed down again and fell unconscious, later waking up strapped to a board and feeling sick and tingly. More herself again at that point, what had happened was discussed, and it was determined the magic-related explosion had altered her, and she was labeled a demon. Unsure of how she might act anymore, she was given enough supplies to get herself going and exiled from the tribe.

Strengths Capable of some magic, though she doesn't often bother as it sometimes makes her queasy; very agile and flexible; remarkably keen senses, some even moreso than regular Elves (night vision, hearing, and smell improved when she turned demon); unnaturally quick and strong; heals abnormally fast; preferred weapons are knives and daggers, but as a Sand Elf she's handled others, and she's highly resourceful. Since becoming a "demon," her aging appears to have slowed. When stressed, as when her life seems to seriously be in danger, she may become even stronger and faster, but also more animal-like and more likely to burn out. Some of it also sometimes comes through when she gets deep enough into a challenging fight.

Weaknesses Those known so far include the smoke from plants commonly used for funeral purposes (causes dizziness, disorientation, and eventual unconsciousness), wounds from magic (burns from magic fire or cuts from magically-imbued weapons, for example, will take her significantly longer to recover from), particularly strong smells (makes her nauseous due to keen senses) or loud, high-pitched noises (headache, sometimes disorientation, again from keen senses). Symbols and icons in general don't seem to particularly bother her like most demons, unless they are actually used as weapons, in which case the blow is more painful to her and wounds are like those from magically-imbued items. She also gets a bit nervous and irritable in areas with magical concentrations, and has a more noticeable reaction to moon alignments than the average person.
