Kyras Background Story

She was always called Kyra as a child, by anyone, even her parents. She
was always the shy one, the girl who hid her talents and felt herself
not like the other children. She had no excuse though, for this was a
school for those with gifts and talents, as well as the only place who
would accept Dryad children. Her heritage too she hid from everyone,
only revealing her innermost thoughts to her closest friends. Even her
young sister, perfect as a ray of moonlight could barely get more than 2
words out of her. But little did she know that her entire life was about
to be flipped upside down, shaken, and left in the dust. For one day
while she was still at school, A band of thieves washed through the
town, and though they were stopped at the schools gates, they
slaughtered the families of the students of Kyra's school. They
slaughtered everyone else in the entire city, but the children were safe
behind the enchanted walls of the School for the Magically Gifted. The
staff and older students quickly went to work building dormatories, for
the school had now become the student's only home, only safe refuge.
Over the next few years the students, with no family to leave to, began
rebuilding the city, turning it into a City of magic. The students also
grew much closer, Kyra began opening up more to her surroundings and
letting more people know her gift. Kyra was descended from a family of
very powerful dryad magicians who had sent her to the school to control
her skills. Over the years she studied under the best and brightest
minds until finally she was ready to set out on her adventures. Leaving
her close friends behind in the magical city.
