Appearance:
Equipment:
First Impression: She can seem rather bitchy when something is in her way long enough to slow her down. She's very mindful of her schedules and hates to be late. Rather hard to please, too. Other than that, she's rather quiet and distanced from others.
Personality: Yakira keeps to herself and is often daydreaming. Of what is beyond anyone. She is very conservative and a little picky about her appearance. Kira is actually intimidated and discouraged fairly easily when being spoken to by someone with a strong voice.
Abilities/Skills: Yakira is skilled mechanically, capable of operating and repairing her shuttle as well as other ships. She is also capable of tuning up select weaponry, though this mostly applies to the blasters kept in her ship and the rifle she keeps with herself.

Race: Syrsden
Home Planet Description: Hillys
- Hillys is mostly made up of water. The many islands that make up the land on this planet is lush with greenery. Deciduous flora can be seen closer to the poles, Tropical flora is seen around the equator, and Coniferous flora can be seen in between.
- The
technology on this planet keeps the water in mind, thus there are hover
crafts capable of crossing well over thirty leagues of water at a time.
Hillys is often used as one of many trade locations in the galaxy as
well as a place for refugees to escape to, thus there are many races
that stop to live here. The Syrsden are one of many races who were
refugees. Since it IS a trade planet, various black markets exist if
one finds the correct islands.
- The
settlements often have canals carved through them. Although the first
settlements (wooden structures) by the native Hillyans are still in
place, structures of steel and glass are in place as well.
- Hillys
isn't without its environmental hazards. Typhoons are fairly common as
well as waterspouts here and there. Obviously, once one of these storms
is taking place, it makes it difficult to land or take off in that
particular area.
Appearance:
- Hair:
Silver-white, as per normal with the Syrsden race. When down, at least
a foot of her hair brushes against the floor. Kira keeps her hair in a
thick braid, some of which wraps around her head like a headband. There
is a bit of hair that goes down the sides of her face, reaching down to
her collarbone. Her bangs reach past her thin eyebrows.
- Eyes: Her eyes are yellow with an orange rim. The pupils are a dark brown rather than black.
- Height: 5' 11". A little short for her race, really.
- Weight: 167 lbs
- Complexion:
If she's not covered in oil and grime, her complexion is rather clean.
It appears a little peachy, though could be considered Caucasian in
human terms. Her skin is rather soft.
- Build: Although tall, Kira appears fairly fit, though is a little on the thin side.
- Noteworthy Features:
The three features that trademarks the Syrsden race are the long ears,
the feet, and the bushy furred tail. For females, there is some fur on
the ears that matches the hair, though with dark tips. The texture is
best described as velvet. (On males, the ears have no fur, but still
bear the darker tips.) Her feet could be described as cat-like with
natural padding beneath and soft, short fur on top. There are some
claws on her toes which are kept trimmed, but sharp. Kira's tail
reaches down past her calves. She keeps it free of matting and dirt and
other things. Since Kira takes the time to care for her tail, the fur
on it is soft as well.
- Attire:
Kira mostly wears brown hues with a single green garment. She has a
turtleneck with fingerless and backless gloves attatched to the
sleeves, kept on her fingers with thick loops. Her pants hugs her legs
and is designed to allow her tail to poke through the rear. Over the
turtleneck, she wears her only bit of green; it's best described as a
long sweater-like garment with barely any sleeves and coattails that
allow her tail to move behind her freely. That garment is kept on with
a wide belt around her waist bearing a flat buckle similar to brass.
Her purse is kept on her left hip by tying it to the belt. A final
garment she wears is a pull-over shawl-like sweater that hangs on her
shoulders. Knee-high tan boots protect her shins and the top of her
feet.
- Appearance in a Nutshell:
Equipment:
- Flail Blade: Or rather, that is what this weapon is similar to. This is a three-pronged blade that is attatched to the end of Yakira's long hair. Because it is attatched directly to her hair, its range is limited to about five to six feet. Melee combat only, of course.
- X-35a Military-issued "Any Environment Rifle":
Although out of date, this rifle has been tuned up so it continues to
function. It is capable of turning most any scraps and other things
into compact high-speed ammunition. Such material includes nuts and
bolts, glass shards, gravel, ice and snow, water, etc. Since the X-35a
is military-issued, Yakira acquired this rifle through one of the black
markets on her planet.
First Impression: She can seem rather bitchy when something is in her way long enough to slow her down. She's very mindful of her schedules and hates to be late. Rather hard to please, too. Other than that, she's rather quiet and distanced from others.
Personality: Yakira keeps to herself and is often daydreaming. Of what is beyond anyone. She is very conservative and a little picky about her appearance. Kira is actually intimidated and discouraged fairly easily when being spoken to by someone with a strong voice.

Quick History:
- Born on Hillys in one of many Syrsden refugee families.
- Grew up near one of the black market island and learned how machines functioned from one of the shopkeepers that favored Syrsdens.
- Hitched round-trip rides on various transports for the fun of it. Learned the functions of transport shuttles during these rides.
- Once a century old, Yakira acquired the X-35a as a farewell gift before taking off for a career as a shuttle operator. Her first ship was the Eallair.
- At 136 years of age, the Eallair was shot down, mistaken for an enemy craft. It was soon replaced with the Qillaq as compensation.
- Over
a course of 114 years, Yakira piloted the Suharto, the Takara, the
Burak, the Perun, the Semele, and the Meallan. The Tekoa was the ship
she purchased once she was 250 years of age. She has been flying the
Tekoa ever since.
