Little Kira is the smallest student of the year, almost the same size as a large rabbit, and just as watchful and jumpy. But do not judge the compact form and huge, cute eyes, for inside this creature lurks a terrible strength.

Fast, agile and as flexible as a ferret, she can take down prey and enemy alike more than three times her size and weight. She once caught a ram off the plains at the foot of the mountains, dragging it all the way back up the mountainside for the evening meal. Even the Masters were stunned.

Like most of the smaller gryphon-kin, however, she has one debilitating weakness: water. Even a light rain will live her miserable and defeated, utterly dramatic. Her peers are often sympathetic to her face, but it gives them a chuckle in private.
