Appearance

Kira also bares the Hoof of the Flying Dragon brand on her back that she's had since she was five years old.  

In the pre-timeskip, she dresses in a purple and black crop top with ruffled sleeves showing off her cleavage, a black spiked collar that she's had since she was five with six chains hanging from it, black skirt with skulls hanging from the hems and black boots. She also dons a short black and purple kimono coat that she wears open. While out on her own, she would wear a black cloak that conceals her identity.

As a Vice Admiral, Kira wore a black button down shirt, black gloves, gray capris and black biker boots. She also wore a long white Marine jacket draped over her shoulders like a cape.

After the timeskip, Kira has grown taller and her hair now reaches past her shoulders almost touching her mid back. She maintains a slender figure and her breasts have a more large and rounded shape. Kira wears a cropped black leather jacket that she wears open, black mini skirt with black shorts underneath, and black lace up sandals. She also wears purple steampunk goggles on her head.

As a child, Kira once had long hair that she wore in two long ponytails but had cut her hair due to being ridiculed for it. Kira's outfit as a child consisted of a red frilly midriff, black shorts and black knee length boots.

Personality

Kira is a cruel, intimidating, and merciless pirate with a thirst for blood and revenge. Due to the life she suffered growing up Kira became a anti-social person whom often keeps to herself and is usually the silent one who is very observant of her surroundings. Kira also developed severe trust issues making it hard to make friends or try to make alliances with other pirates. Because of this, Kira usually views herself as a lone wolf.

Despite having a non-empathetic scowl look on her face, Kira is caring, helpful and loyal when it comes to her crew and her serious yet persevering personality always wins over people creating allies. She is known to be extremely flirtatious towards those she can manipulate to do her bidding mainly due to her beauty. As captain, she is highly intelligent and is very serious on her part but can be laid back on certain events. While in a laid-back mood, she is known to lounge on parts of the ship either out of boredom or when trying to nap.

Though the youngest member of her crew, Kira acts very mature to her age though there are moments she would have tendencies to become pouty and have explosive tempers but knows the errors of her actions. When she's battling Kira always maintains a calm yet serious look on her face unless a certain event causes her to snap. Kira is also known to be highly reckless in certain situations mainly during confrontations with enemies.

Due to the traumatic past from being a slave, Kira is known to be a sadist, enjoying the pain of those she kills or when inflicting pain on her enemies causing her to sardonically smile and laugh over the screams of pain. She often wears a psychotic smile on her face of pure insanity when killing her enemies showing how merciless she can be.

Kira can be easily quick to anger if someone threatens her or her crew members, which can explain the number of casualties in her wake. Kira is known to be very confrontational and scary to deal with when angered. Kira can intimidate anyone who dares to start a fight with her causing those to wither before her menacing glare. After the timeskip, she still maintains her menacing demeanor but has a more calm and cool nature.

Because of the events that happened to Kira when she was a victim of slavery, she has a strong hatred towards the World Government and those who have high authority. She views the World Nobles as scum and a disgrace to the human race.
