Kira Reference August 2014

I am so excited that my darling self-character finally has a reference of her own! It's way overdue.

To clarify on my self-character and to avoid any confusion about her origins in the story Shards have some quick info about her.
Kira originated as Kirei a long time ago when that character in the story Shards served as my self-character. Kirei existed before I declared her as my representation and had a very different look. The similarity between our names was actually entirely coincidental. Eventually I designed her a new form I dubbed 'Ijaya', seen here: www.deviantart.com/art/Ijaya-F… that I slowly began to fall in love with out of the design's newfound symbolic representation and somewhat surreal nature. As I grew apart from shards and drew 'Ijaya Kirei' more and more I decided to make a switch. 'Ijaya Kirei' was now my self-character and her ties were cut from Shards when she represented me. Today, 4 years after the Ijaya design origin, she is known as Kira and is not related to Kirei or Shards in any way.

Kira is mine and the drawing is mine, I hope you enjoy!
