Basic Info

Appearance & Personality
She stands at 6 feet, with plenty of muscles to show. She has by no means a bodybuilder type, but it is clear that she can lift very heavy things and throw a strong punch. Her hair is a dark red, with tan highlights. She likes to keep it clean and styled, often spending more time than she should getting it ready in the morning. She has acquired some scars from battles during her youth, but they are often hidden under her clothing or armor.
For clothing, Kiera usually wears what she needs to. When she is on the job or looking for work, she is often in full armor, which she takes the time to clean about twice a week. There is nothing better to make an impression than clean armor, a lesson her mother taught her well. When she isn't working, she is in nice, loose clothes that expose and define her features, having recently taken extreme pride in her looks.
Kiera is first and foremost a mother. She tends to treat anyone in their early twenties and lower as her own children, once she begins to know them. She is protective of her friends, and will often lend a hand to what they need, but is always trying to enable autonomy and self-confidence. When she was younger, she was brash, unapologetic, and tended to drink more than she could hold. This died down significantly when she had her son, but ever since he went to the Conjurers Guild to study, these tendencies have slowly started making a comeback. She is very self-confident about her body, and isn't afraid to show off her best features, which would be her legs and chest.
She is generally an optimist, trying to look for the best in people, but she's seen enough of the world to know that sometimes the best expectations and goals can't always be met. But that doesn't mean someone can't try for them. During new conversations, she'll try her best to listen to what the other person has to say, never interrupting except in cases where she really needs to. Her son taught her this, as before she had him, she used to talk over everyone about everything. But there are certain topics that she will not stand for. She will not tolerate any excessive badmouthing of Ala Mhigo, little or otherwise, and those that insult her or her friends and family. Usually this just results in a stern talking to, mother-style, but she has been known to throw her fists.
While she has been exploring her sexuality since her son went abroad to study, she has been afraid to start a serious relationship with anyone. She has tried, but she still loves her late husband dearly, still wearing the ring that he gave him when they were first engaged.
Biography
Kiera was born to Freya and Andres Hawkeye, third of four children. Her siblings were all sisters, much to the ire of her father. But, as he put it, "If the gods are to give me daughters, then I will make sure to raise them to be proud warriors." Kiera and one of her sisters followed after her fathers art of the gladiator, while the other sisters pursued the art of archery and magic, which their mother specialized in. Training was her childhood, waiting for the day that she could join her father in his expeditions with his free company. On her seventeenth nameday, she applied (the application being a fight with her father) and was accepted into her fathers free company, and she couldn't have been happier.
Five years passed, with Kiera's only focus being on doing good within the free company, and living life to the fullest.
