Physical Description:
Kiera O'Rourke is a striking girl with long, straight black hair and pale blue eyes. Her hair is usually tied in a high ponytail, but lowers it when she needs to raise her hood or is preparing for a fight. When let fully down, her hair dangles around her upper thighs.

She was cursed to be on the shorter side for women, but has been blessed a medium-large sized bust so in her mind, she comes out neutral.
Outfit Description:
Kiera's basic, and her most comfortable, outfit consists of well-used hiking boots, loose cargo pants, light loose shirt with her green and brown mottled camouflage cloak covering her entire ensemble. She wears archer's bracers and gloves as well.

A more urban-appropiate outfit of hers consists of a sharp white button-up dress shirt, black pants and a black coat. High ponytail.

Her workout outfit is a lot of black and white colors in her sports bra, but once again prefers baggy pants as opposed to anything pants.
Personality Description:
Kiera O'Rourke is a quiet, obedient, optimistic girl. She'll reach out to help and can pipe up with helpful information even when not asked(though apologetic about it). If she wants to insult someone, she'll do it veiled as a compliment and with a smile. She's genuine and appreciates politeness and manners. She tries her best to see the bright side of things. She's knowledgeable about old history and has strong opinions.

Kiera is a hardcore Oakhearth Ultranationalist and Supremesist. While she's nice to others, she truly believes that the culture and strength of her home is above any kingdom, and that they should secede from Vale to be independent. They already govern themselves without any help and keep the Grimm at bay, they are better than any settlement that came before them. She sees Silvanus, the Elder of Oakhearth, like a god-king, someone to be revered and who is above the other authorities.

She loves the forest and will get stern with anyone hurting nature without good reason.
Backstory Highlights:
Kiera was born to two happy Oakhearthians, and was raised to value their people and home. She was taught many things but gravitated towards survival skills and the use of the bow. She found her place hunting and scouting for Oakhearth in her adolescence, going further and further out as she grew up.

Oakhearth already had a small number of Huntsman living among them, such as Forrest's father Rowan, and others who have their Aura and Semblance unlocked, like Silvanus. With her fondness for scouting and the responsibility of long trips from home, her Aura was unlocked and she eventually discovered her Semblance while running from a rampaging Grimm, right off a cliff. Like an old-style cartoon she ran on open air while the Grimm fell far below to it's death.

Kiera's main contribution was scavenging and intel on Grimm movements. She would be informed of settlements outside of the main cities, both destroyed and thriving, and she would go looking for things to bring back. Resources, weapons, herbal remedies, and people willing to join Oakhearth.

Seeing so many burned down homes and towns, some of them she had visited while the living still walked the streets and smiled with their children, convinced her over time that Oakhearth was fundamentally superior. Everything else had burned over the years, while Oakhearth only grew. How could they be wrong? That opinion was hardened and steeled the more charcoaled wreckages she came across.

Kiera grew hotly jealous of Forrest Waldstein being trained by Silvanus. The Elder, the one responsible for such a thriving home and people was spending so much of his energy teaching his grandson who couldn't even manifest his Semblance! She had hers unlocked, was accomplished in her work and yet Forrest got special treatment? She had learned all she could from The Rangers, and longed for improvement and to be of more use to her people and leader.

Then Forrest's mother, Hazel, died. And his Semblance manifested in a massive tree surrounding their home. It was just like Silvanus' Semblance, but weaker for one not so developed.

Forrest went to be trained by those who knew more of Aura and Semblance usage, Silvanus seeming exhausted and unwilling to train his grandson. If it was good enough for Forrest, it was good enough for her. And she'd prove to Silvanus that she was the better future pupil in the end. So she went to Beacon as well to learn more in order to take back to Oakhearth.
Occupation:
Student
Education:
Kiera was taught survival skills and archery by The Rangers, the militia of Oakhearth. Her Aura was unlocked and she developed her Semblance out in the field.
Semblance Name:
Skywalker
Semblance Description:
Kiera can, using only as much energy as it takes to remain standing, walk in open space, as if stepping on invisible stairs. This also allows her to walk in any orientation she wishes, even upside down. She does not change gravity so much as she seems to stick to invisible surfaces, or suddenly have surfaces to push off of. These surfaces do not exist for other people, they could poke the bottom of her feet if they wanted to, nor do they exist for objects.

Kiera has to be consciously using her Semblance in order to "Skywalk", and with something that might interrupt her concentration it would end until she could activate it once more. This allows her to stop herself from falling, being thrown, or other forced movement by choosing to stand on the air after leaving the influence of the attacker.

She has not tested how high she can walk, but has gone several hundred meters into the air at times before.
Weapon Name:
Saigheada [Se-we-da]
Weapon Description:
Saighead has two modes, a spear and a bow. In it's normal state it is telescopically shrunk down to 2 feet long, and extends to a 6 foot long spear, including a foot long speartip leaf-shaped blade.

Once activated, Saighead's shaft splits in two and snaps forward into the arms of a bow with a bow string appearing between them. This bow form is a massive bow with arms of 5 feet(curved) long.

Kiera carries a quiver of her black-shafted arrows, some hunting and others Dust arrows.
Other Gear:
Kiera sports a cloak of mottled green, brown and grey shapes to break up her shape and blend her into her surroundings. It's a camo cloak, designed over decades by people who live in the heart of a forest. Through no technology other than it's design it is able, with Kiera's skills at sealth and stillness, allow her to disappear.

Kiera has another bow, one made conventionally with long strips of wood glued together, the wood grains alternating to create a heavy draw-weight bow. This was her bow before she needed something more Huntsman-y for Beacon.
Fighting Style:
Kiera only fights head-on when there is so other option, or she wants you to know who hit you. With her cloak and other stealth skills, she stays unseen and unknown until she is loosing arrow after arrow into you from 300 feet away. She is adept at launching arrows in extremely rapid succession once she's sighted on a target and focused. It may take her a second to imagine the shot, see it in her mind's eye, so real it was almost real, before she shoots. But when she does, it follows that path and slams home with deadly results.

With her abilities, especially with her Semblance to walk on soundless ground, she can sneak around the battlefield to stab with her spear. And when fights do leave stealth, she will walk and run upside-down a few feet up to disorient while launching arrows and slashing with her spear.
