So I thought that I would talk about Kira Martell a little bit, considering that I did do a fan art of her and all. There was the question of why she looked so sad. Well, Kira's had a rough life so to speak. She's actually a character that's very near to my heart, although she's been through some heartache herself.
Kira is a Nephilim, meaning that she is half human, half angel. She comes from a small family that was created by a Seraph named Kinsley. Her family came about as one of three that protect the mortal world from the unseen world, or world beyond the Veil. She's the only female in her family of five, and is very kind and very intelligent. But a lapse in judgment turned out to be a big mistake. She befriended a creature called a Lamia. They are demons of the water, and there are males and females. This male Lamia became obsessed with her, and eventually attacked her, even getting her pregnant. Her child, whom she names Peyton, is half angel, half Lamia, and very unique. Thankfully, he's very gentle and caring by nature too, although he's somewhat conflicted about his heritage and where he came from. But Kira genuinely loves her son, and doesn't hesitate to comfort him and tell him so.
Yes, I know this sounds dark and all, but it's all part of the story, and Kira does find happiness when she meets another Nephilim named Zane Hedel. She eventually falls in love with him, and they make a good life together. So basically, even though she carries some sadness for what happened in the past, she's been able to move on as well.
I've touched on her, Peyton, and Zane in my books, but haven't really told the whole story yet. Maybe I will someday. Anyway, I do love her and how strong she really is, and I have enjoyed being able to tell more about her here
