Kira Mistborn
MystaransApprentice Dream-Walker
"Your dreams are loud. Please... please stop dreaming about me.""
Identity
- Residence
- The Hollows, a poor district on Mystara's edge
- Civilization
- Mystarans
Appearance
• Physical: Kira is small for her age, with mist-gray eyes that see into other people's dreams without trying. Her hair is tangled and wild, as if constantly touched by invisible winds from other dimensions. • Clothing: She wears cast-off clothing too large for her frame, patched with scraps of dream-catcher fabric. She carries a small crystal pendant that helps her control her abilities. • Distinguishing Marks: Dark circles under her eyes from lack of proper sleep—she's afraid to dream because she can't control where her mind goes.
Personality
- Traits: Frightened but brave, prematurely mature, desperate for control, deeply lonely
- Mannerisms: Avoids eye contact (sees dreams when she does), flinches at sudden movements, clutches her crystal pendant constantly
- Voice: Small and hesitant, but with moments of surprising confidence when discussing dream-lore
Daily Life
She navigates the Hollows carefully, avoiding gangs and worse things that hunt in Mystara's shadows. She takes odd jobs—finding lost items by walking owners' dreams, delivering messages through dream-space, warning people of nightmares to come. She sleeps in abandoned buildings and eats whatever she can find or earn.
Secret
Kira has seen a recurring dream across multiple Mystarans—a vision of Mystara itself dissolving into nothingness—and she's too afraid to tell anyone because she doesn't know if it's prophecy or just a shared nightmare.
Story Hooks
- 1 Kira approaches the party, having seen them in her dreams, and begs for protection from something hunting her through dream-space
- 2 She possesses information from a powerful person's dream that could prevent a war, but she needs help understanding what she saw
Narrative Value
Kira serves as a vulnerable character who needs protection but possesses unique abilities. Her youth and trauma create emotional stakes, while her uncontrolled powers provide plot complications and unique information-gathering opportunities. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
