Her name is Kira!
She personally has little to no experience talking to strangers but considering she saw a new start in the academy, tried her damn best. She intends to be that kind of person on friendly terms with everyone to avoid confrontation. That being said, she would prefer to keep her relationships at face value. Much as she craves close connections, couldn't help to be eerily uncomfortable when it happens.
What she’s wearing underneath is a fireman suit ̶̶c̶o̶u̶g̶h̶̶ ̶i̶n̶c̶r̶e̶d̶i̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶s̶t̶y̶l̶i̶z̶e̶d̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶ to avoid risks of burning of her uniform and others. 79% uncomfortable for her, but hey, if it would lessen the chance of getting extra homework, it’s worth it
The power is Fire Formation (I don’t know what else to call it—) an ability to engulf her entire body into flames, materialising fire in different ways. The ability being essentially reactive to her emotions, strongly responding to fight-or-flight situations
Emotions similar to ‘fight’ responses would fire more so would overtly start to intensify, the fire becoming more apparent similarly shown in the pic. How fast the fire would grow really depends how extreme her emotions were and when left unsupervised would grow bigger. Having yet to find a way to dissolve those kinds of situations while being conscious will eventually pass out due to lack of oxygen. It wouldn’t mean that the fire would disappear along with her when it already come in contact to flammable objects
In ‘Flight’ responses, she possesses the fire inwardly, materialising the fire instead. Turning into gas in a way, It can make physical form of attacks futile on both ends since it will pass through. Most she could do in that situation is flee
In a different scenario , If she happens to be in a moment when she has to fight when there’s no time to react on her end, most often she’s much more vulnerable than she would be from either of the form responses. Other is, If she were to try and force her ability to work while in a clear state of mind, she can only do small chunks of fire when tried hard enough
(Ngl finding the drawback of the power was pretty difficult for me then cherrytwelve’s idea really got me overjoyed so I’m stealing it— sorry not sorry /j ;³;)
The drawback is everytime she uses her power she rapidly consumes oxygen around her, which can put other living biengs in danger. It’s overall self explanatory I could say. I’ll shortly post a comment detailing more about the drawback. I’m unsure if it will serve the character well, so I will post separately in case it doesn’t! All in all, it talks about if the drawback affects Kira herself. Afterall, she’s a living bieng herself in a way

This is my first post on the site. Yay! I am hell nervous
Could say that I’m satisfied with this being the first drawing that will be seen in this account, atleast, for now ;) It’s not quite there yet and there are some things I want to change some parts the next time I draw, but it is close and I'm okay the way it is too! Rn I’m still trying to get used to it and will draw more of the character the next time. Yes, I saw the spacing in the refsheet and I have no idea what to put in there—It’s no pressure, really, I love the challenge! The concept, the challenges, not to mention the time and care being put into it as time goes on really made me want to know more about the world that is shown. If you read this part, you did great

Can’t wait to see what’s more in the community!Other than that, feel free to let me know if there are any needed improvements!Jun 17, 2022

Really love the addition of the practical firesuit underneath the uniform and that distinction between fight and flight responses and what it does to her abilities! It really shows how much thought you put into this

AAAAAHHHHHH KIRA IS SO INCREDIBLY COOLLLLL!!!!! 






















HER HAIR IS SO COOL!! THE SUIT UNDER THE UNIFORM IS SO COOL!! HER ABILITY IS SO COOL!! I remember talking with you about ideas for a drawback, but seeing Kira in action is 10x more amazing!! 



I love how you went with a power that turns her into fire, but actually works in two different ways. Also the fact that Kira needs strong emotions to activate it must be a big problem for her in her first few years, but hopefully she'll learn how to bring forward emotions strong enough as needed 

I still can't believe this was your first post here when your art is THIS BEAUTIFUL!! 















Thank you so much for all the love for Cipher 








It really means a lot to me when people seem so hyped about creating for and interacting with this project! Can't wait to see more of Kira!! WELCOME TO CIPHER ACADEMY!!
