Kyra

Kyra is a small, adventurous Slissa from the underground who always wanted to venture to the surface to see what it was like up there, to see the sun, and to prove that "the great beast" doesn't exist anymore. She lives in a small burrow with her mother and Tyrsis on the Slissa side of the caves, her father was said to have gone to the surface and never returned, but Kyra never knew until a few weeks before her journey outside. Kyra had always spent time complaining about how boring life in the caves was, she desired adventure and glory, and the best place to find that was the surface. It took her months to convince Tyrsis to accompany her but he eventually gave in and nervously snuck out of the burrow and up the long tunnel to the surface. where they went down to the village below in the valley that would introduce them to the dangers of the surface, and Matt. Kyra has a magic amulet she got when she was little from her father before he ventured out to the surface. The amulet allows her to speak her ancestors spirits and they help guide her through trouble, however sometimes it looks as if she is just talking to herself because nobody but her appears to be able to hear the voices even if they put it on. She believes that the amulet has a greater power but she is not yet aware of what it is.
