HEIGHT: 5'6"
RACE: Teharan (Nature/Earth Elements)
OCCUPATION: Genetics specialist who studies shapeshifting at BioFusion Works

Kiera is a bubbly and outgoing personality with a curious mind. When she wants to know something, basic details are not enough - she's compelled to dig deep and really understand what it is she's looking at.

Her curiosity gets the better of her often times and leads her down questionable paths - ethics occasionally come secondary to scientific progress. She has a very "ask for forgiveness rather than permission" outlook on research mostly due to how difficult it is to secure shareholder funding for specific projects she feels passionate about. Her goal isn't to harm, but to help, and to create solutions for people who want or need biological changes to their own body.

She often experiments on herself to try to figure things out, resulting in a few shapeshifter-adjacent quirks that she now has. She can change the shape and function of a few parts of her body - grow sharp teeth, gain darkvision, grow claws, etc, but nothing on a large scale. The blue/green/pink iridescent patches on her body, her eye color, and her pink hair are a result of genetic experiments on herself that have had varying degrees of success. She shows no sign of stopping to continue to mess with her own genetics for the sake of science and research.

Her tenacity for research and retaining information put her on track from a very early age to get into STEM. She graduated from school with honors and now works at BioFusion Works studying the genetics of shapeshifting races.

She is a great team player, is good at her bookkeeping, but is known for "going rogue" and taking research she did at work into her own hands for her own experiments. This has resulted in a few marks on her record for "not following protocol" that make it difficult for her to switch companies.
