Kaira Yehven
| Occupation Soldier of the Blades of Astravore |
The youngest daughter to a family renowned for their dedication to fight and defend, Kairais the youngest daughter of the Yehven family. She is no stranger to those residing in the coastal city of Astravore, home to a sprawling city along coast side cliffs and small islands, and is always one of the first to offer a helping hand to her community.
To be seen worthy to bear arms under the flag of Astravore is a feat hard earned by those that dedicate a year of service to the Faith. Every summer, the dedicated are invited to take part in a tourney of honour, and if successful, earn the right to bear Astravorean steel, the metal and the craftsmanship being primary exports of the city.
Astravore, the city, earned it's name from an old
god, forgotten and abandoned by many in the Empire. Those that still keep faith remain in Astravore, but should they be called upon by the Empire, the Blades of Astravore will heed the call to arms. The old god Astravore represented War and Cunning, where old texts stated the moment the god died, it was over a mountain in the region where the unrelenting ore that makes up the rare steel was originally found. And so the city was built with the god in mind; defenses and protocols put in place should war come to it's gates, and the Blades of Astravore keeping sharp day and night.
Appearance
Kaira is known for her signature braid, which she wears often as her hair reaches down to her waist. She has a few piercings, and any more she would receive lectures from not only her family, but her mentors within the Blades.
Her body is of a lean physique, but her strength is hidden beneath her quick movements she often leads with. Being light and nimble, Kaira often likes to climb and travel over rooftops, in which the city offers plenty of opportunity for.
Personality
A delight in person, there is not one being in Astravore that can resist her infectious grin. Kaira is of a respected and well known family, but chooses not to let that notoriety go to her head and often goes out of her way to help others. The poor, elderly, and sickly are those she checks in on often, and often leads them in prayer when they seek comfort from their Faith.
Skills
A skilled warrior, it has always been in her blood to hone her craft. Whereas her sisters and father are known for their strength and might, Kaira is of a softer approach. More assassin than bold warrior, she holds a patience her sister's cannot outlast. Due to her build, she is often seen weaker, but Kaira is always happy to demonstrate her quiet strength.
