Kiera Varithas

A red dragon from Anteos who married a yellow dragon.

Physical Description
Like other dragons from her part of the world, Kiera's scales and wing membranes are edged with a different color, reddish-gold in her case. In human form she has rich red hair with reddish-gold tips. She favors clothing styles from her home village, and sports a floral tattoo on her right shoulder.

Early Life
Kiera lived the standard life of her hometown: parents who were well regarded in the village, siblings who teased her, the usual.

When Kiera was a teenager, she met a yellow dragon named Tyrreth in the forests surrounding the village. He was very charming, and she was young and impressionable and fell for him. Her parents promptly disowned her for refusing to give up the relationship. While Tyrreth was able to form a marriage bond (via telepathy) for the two of them, yellow dragons refused to acknowledge the bond because Kiera did not face trials for the right to marry Tyrreth. The people of Anteos refused to acknowledge a marriage bond created by a yellow dragon as it was not "legitimate," choosing instead to call Kiera the "yellow's whore."

Kiera and Tyrreth lived in a house in the village that connected to dragon caves in the rear. The pair had one child, Tynan, who Tyrreth was able to partially train before his death, which left Kiera to raise the boy on her own.

Life in Ryuheim
After Fayth's family came to recover her, Kiera and her son returned to Ryuheim with them to start a new life. Kiera got work as a weaver and worked to build up a tolerance for the cold.

Skills and Abilities
Pyrokinesis: As a red dragon, Kiera is able to manipulate fire, in addition to possessing some amount of fire immunity. She lacks fine skill, however. Her gift manifests as large, indiscriminate bursts of flame, and thus she rarely uses it outside of self-defense situations.

Personality
Cheerful, friendly, good-natured, easy-going. Kiera loves to try new experiences and rarely lets anything get to her. She chooses to interpret her son's aloofness and gruff demeanor how she pleases, frequently in a positive manner, and he rarely argues.
