•Character Name:
Kira Griffin.

•Gender:
Female.

•Age:
16 years and 6 months.

•Height:
5 Feet, 4 Inches.

•Weight:
163 lbs.

•Appearance:
Kira stands at a mere five feet, four inches tall. She has curves in all the right places; her waist is slim and her hips wide. Her muscles are also well defined and toned as a result of weekly strenuous physical activity. Her clear, glowing skin is the color of cinnamon, and her curly black hair falls just below her shoulders. She prefers to keep her hair in protective styles (braids, weaves, wigs, etc.), which allow her hair to grow longer and healthier. There is a dull scar on her left eyebrow, which she tends to cover up with makeup.

Her eyes are large and almond shaped, the brown of the iris so dark that it almost appears to be black. Her eyes are fringed with long, thick lashes. She sometimes wears thick, black rimmed glasses because she was told that they complement her well. She has a short, delicate nose and perfectly arched, dark eyebrows. Her face is heart-shaped; she has high cheekbones and a pointed chin. Her lips are full and always covered with a clear lip gloss. When smiling, you can see that she has two rows of perfectly white teeth, a slight overbite present.

Kira's style of dress can be summarized as "Urban Fashion," an edgy look that reflects lifestyle, attitudes and individuality. She prefers to go to thrift shops to find clothes that she can make into something new. Not being a big fan of flashy jewelry, you'll only ever see her wear a ring on her left middle finger, which was given to her by her father. She has helix and lobe piercings in both of her ears, and a septum piercing in her nose.

•Race/Ethnicity:
African-American.

•Hometown:
Brooklyn, New York.

•Personality:
Kira is a seemingly calm and quiet girl, yet is by no means a pushover. She can very much take care of herself, but is smart enough to know when to pick a fight and when to let something go. She is someone who isn't weighed down by the troubles of everyday life, is not restricted by other people's opinions, and is always herself regardless of the situation. She craves adventure, thrills, and new things. Kira is also very observant, and tends to notice things about her surroundings that others may not. It's very easy for her to read and/or figure out other people.

Having grown up with a large number of male friends and cousins, Kira considers herself to be a bit of a "Tomboy." She'd much rather spend her time perfecting her Basketball skills or chilling with the guys than hang out with girlfriends. She loves the feeling that she gets when she's playing on the court, the adrenaline rush and the sense of being in control. When she's on the court, everyone around her seems to disappear; she's in her "element." When off the court, though, Kira prefers to keep to herself and stay quiet. When in a confident mood, however, she can be very charismatic and outgoing.

Kira is confident in herself and her actions, often to a fault. She is very opinionated, has trouble asking for help, and hates admitting when she's wrong. When things don't go as she planned or in a positive direction, she can get frustrated very easily. Though very smart, she has a hard time paying attention in her classes, and is usually caught daydreaming when she should be working. Kira has a bit of a "potty mouth," and uses profanity even when she isn't trying to. She has a bit lot of trouble controlling her temper, and whenever someone pushes her to her limit, she'll snap; it will often result in her yelling a large number of obscene words, throwing objects, and even going as far as to get physical.

•Brief Character Description:
Kira was born in Brooklyn, NY, the youngest of three girls. Her step-father was a criminal defense lawyer, and her mother a pediatric surgeon. Because of her parents' busy schedules, Kira and her sisters spent most of their time living with their Grandmother in Harlem. Because of this, the sisters never had a strong relationship with their parents, and always preferred to chill with Grandma then awkwardly "hang out" with their parents. While her sisters eventually grew out of this, Kira never really did. While the two older girls were out partying on Friday nights, Kira would be curled up in the house with her Grandma watching old episodes of In the Heat of the Night and Sanford and Son.

Unlike her older sisters, Kira was extremely introverted, and never made friends very easily. She'd spend most of her time, if not with Grandma, outside in the driveway shooting hoops. It wasn't until she was eleven that her Grandmother finally convinced her to try out for the school basketball team. It was then that she started to break out of her shell. As she grew older, her basketball skills improved, as well as her social skills. She'd started to spend more and more time playing ball or hanging out with friends, and less time staying home with Grandma. When Kira was fifteen years old, her grandmother passed away. The whole family was crushed, but nobody was as upset as Kira was. Without that wonderful old lady in her life, she wouldn't be who she was today.

•Dislikes:


•Strengths:

⋗ Athleticism ⫻ One of the many perks of playing basketball since the age of eight.

⋗ Quick/Strategic thinking ⫻ Another basketball perk. Kira has always been good at identifying a problem and quickly coming up with a way to handle it.

⋗ Observant ⫻ Kira tends to notice things about her surroundings that others may not. It's very easy for her to read and/or figure out other people

⋗ Straightforward/Blunt ⫻ Kira is very honest and frank. More often than not she'll just come out and say what she is feeling without dancing around it.

•Weaknesses:

⋗ Short-Tempered ⫻ Self explanatory. She gets mad very quickly, and it's hard to calm her down once she's upset.

⋗ Straightforward/Blunt ⫻ Can also be seen as a weakness. She tends to be a little too honest with people and doesn't really stop to consider how the person she's speaking to will feel about what she has to say. "No filter."
