H I S T O R Y

Kira was born Rain Kalendis, a half-Wutainese girl living in the slums of Midgar. She and her mother endured abuse from her disabled trooper father when Kira was growing up, culminating in the deaths of her parents. After she was apprehended and worked for a couple of years with Shinra psychologists, she requested to join SOLDIER and was reluctantly admitted, going through the cadet program and finally becoming a Third Class in the summer before her 18th birthday, a year before the desertion of Genesis Rhapsodos. On joining SOLDIER, she changed her name to Kira Ashikira, in memory of her mother. On a mission early in her days in SOLDIER, she was seriously injured and nearly killed; she still bears the scars of the fight across her torso and the right side of her face, where she lost her eye. The injuries only served to motivate her to continue on to become stronger and rise through SOLDIER's ranks.

Throughout SOLDIER's troubles with Genesis and the eventual handing over of the department to Heidegger, Kira continued to remain loyal to the ideals taught to them by Angeal Hewley. A Second Class, working to rise to First by that time, she did her best to instill those values in new recruits. It was around that time that she met her future husband, another SOLDIER 2nd by the name of Sanhedrin Shinmari. She became a First soon after AVALANCHE destroyed the No. 1 reactor in Midgar. During Meteorfall, she was injured, and was in Kalm with Sanhedrin when Holy and Meteor clashed over Midgar. Both of them contracted Geostigma as a result.

After Meteorfall, they parted ways for a time, and Kira moved to Wutai to raise chocobos in peace. By the time the remnants were wreaking havoc on Edge, she was nearly dead of the stigma, and only San's intervention in bringing her to the healing water in the Sector Five church saved her. Afterwards, she agreed to marry him, and they took Kira's surname. A little over a year later, they had a child, Amaya Ashikira, and had opened a small cafe in Edge. Despite years having passed since she had taken up a weapon, she and Sanhedrin fought with the World Regenesis Organization after Amaya was kidnapped. She was killed by Deepground in their search for people untainted by Geostigma or Jenova, something they had thought was impossible, and San was killed attempting to rescue her. Kira recovered slowly afterwards, eventually reopening the cafe but keeping her ties to the WRO in case of another emergency.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

In the years since Meteorfall and the destruction of Shinra, Kira has changed little, save for gaining some patience. From her days in SOLDIER, she retains her ability to remain calm in a crisis and to take charge in situations that require her. Though the years of leading people and having a family have mostly calmed her impulsive side, she occasionally cuts loose and does something spontaneous, for old times' sake. In battle, Kira is calm and calculating, but always fights with a smile and always enjoys herself.

Due to years of the same routine, Kira dedicates a part of each day to two things: training to stay in shape, despite the lack of any threat to the world for several years, and caring for her chocobos. She also keeps an old Fire materia around, though it has been years since she has used it; in the present day, she substitutes a huge fireplace and candles in her cafe as an alternate to her earlier methods of satisfying her pyromania.

There are a few things that she prefers not to hear, speak, or think about: any mention of her birth name, which very few people know about; Deepground and their attacks on Edge and Kalm; and the husband and child she lost in those attacks. Depending on the situation and the person who said it, she either clams up, refusing contact with people for a while until she calms down, or assumes a fake cheerful personality for the duration of her time interacting with that person. If used to provoke her in battle, she flies into a berserker rage, forgetting her usual strategies in favor of doing everything she can to beat the person into submission.

Kira has a tendency to live in the past; she can often be seen or heard contemplating the days of Midgar, when Shinra was in power, and more than once has commented that she preferred those times.
