Her father died shortly after her youngest sister, whom is 14, was born and her mother only a few years following her father. At the young age of 15, Keira was forced to take on the role of mother and supporter for her younger siblings, as her older brother had several jobs before he was 17 to support the family.<br/><br/>When Keira was 18, her youngest sister and brother were taken into state custody by the government when her brother enlisted for the war. Keira followed shortly after, achieving high marks during training, coupled by her high grades in schooling before enlisting. Keira has a natural ability to make others feel confident, and also to inspire determination through her naturally cheerful attitude and outlook on life. A devoted optimist, Keira rarely finds anything she cant make positive in some way.<br/><br/>When she was 21, Keira learned her brother had been killed in battle. Struck by this hardship, Keira was quickly relieved to hear her younger sister, whom is 20, took her youngest siblings in as legal guardian. With her family safe for the time being, Keira continued to make a name for herself until she was selected for the Shadow Blades.<br/><br/>Appearance: Keira is noticably small, but comfortably so in situations where stealth are viable options. Her body is moderately petite, though she has some nociable muscles around her arms, legs and abdomin. She has shoulder length brown hair which she keeps in a pony tail almost all the time, and her bright blue eyes are well set in her bright complexion and moderately tanned skin.<br/><br/>Personality: Keira is an unbreakably cheerful and devoted person. Shes cause based, thinking more about the big picture regarding her actions rather than the short term. Even so, she is a bleeding heart sympathist when it comes to others, and will often go out of her way to help someone in need, though rarely beyond the point of simple caring. Even though shes often found helping or trying to help, Keira is still duty-bound like her brother was and rarely will go out of her way in assistance. Sometimes she will focus to keep herself not directly involved, but will alter the outcome of things if she can, trying to keep herself away from whatever happens.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>Mech name: 'Sunny'<br/><br/>Model/class: M178 'Land Whisper' Z1 LAW<br/><br/>Head: 'Onlooker' GPS and RADAR Systems<br/>Back: Mounted M88-Plasma ADCM(Active Defense Counter-Measures)<br/>Shoulders: 'Onlooker' RPS and RADAR Sub-tracking and lock systems<br/>Forearms: M-Tech 120mm Rocket Pods(x4 tubes each arm)<br/>Hands: Quad-M85 'Big Willy' Gatling Machineguns<br/>Torso: GNC-30 'Ninja' Cloaking and stealth system<br/>Hips: None<br/><br/><br/>Special Equipment: GNC-30 'Ninja Cloaking and Stealth System - Uses advanced counter-tracking software and hardware to render the mech invisible to radar and tracking systems. Also uses highly advanced filtering camera systems to give the mech a nearly invisible appearance when activated. Requires substantial amounts of energy and power to run, can only be used for up to 10 hours before running the risk of shorting out or overheating.<br/><br/>Quad M85 'Big Willy' Gatling Guns - Using state of the art bullet and firing mechanism technology, the M85 'Big Willy' quad barrel gatling cannons fire a long series of rounds, including Armor piercing, incindiary and high explosive. Most common rounds are the Armor Piercing, as they create much less heat and strain on the weapons systems. Using a lock and fire system, the gatling cannon can fire up to 5000 rounds a minute with 98% estimated accuracy and .30% chance of a misfire or backfire.<br/><br/>Mounted M88-Plasma ADCM - The M88 ADCM Systems are a series of small radar and sonar trackers on the body of the mech, feeding atmospheric and geographical data to the supercomputer mounted on the back. The system uses advanced technology to feel out and track data information regarding missiles or rockets fired at the mech. It automatically locks any radar or heat guided missile destined for the mech, and also can be set to scramble radar signals, though this can affect friendlies and also may result in overheating if used for more than 20 minutes. The ADCM, once it tracks an enemy missile or rocket, fires a short burst of Plasma energy at the projectile with 99.2% accuracy and a .0213% fail rate. The plasma coats the missile or rocket and burns through to the computer systems, tracking system, flight system or if all else fails it heats up the fuel causing catastrophic failure. Estimated time between launch, tracking and target destruction under 4 seconds. Maximum range is 3.5 miles, 6 if elevated above target.<br/><br/>Description: Keira's custom, mostly self-built Sunny is the salvaged and restored product of an abandoned and slightly damaged M187 'Land Whisper'. The stealth and weapons systems were standard on the recon mech, but Keira upgraded and tinkered with everything personally. The defense system is of her own doing, and the weapons tracking and lock systems are much the same. She has it refinished in a dark green finish, with the inside painted light blue and the seat coated in fluffy pink softness.<br/><br/>History: Unknown history before Keira stumbled across it before she joined the Shadow Blades, it was assumed it malfunctioned and broke down with the former pilot abandoning it, though Keira isn't sure. She's fixed it up herself over the years, adding modifications and upgrades as she saw fit, mostly with her own money but Keira is one hell of a scavenger, and even managed to find some of the current parts herself. Although the stock model M187's look generally the same, they are not usually that well armed and cant turn basically invisible and stay silent for upwards of 10 hours.
