Age 26, present day, shows up in Cordann. The 'Crooked Wings' story begins.
Kaiyara was the hope of her parents. They worked very hard and were able to get her tutors and access to the very best schools of Kichir (Birb-Philippines; which fared better in colonization than actual Philippines). Somewhere near the finish line, she had a mental breakdown, but she was able to claw herself to a full diploma and a job offer in Cordann.
Kaiyara's parents are overall very pleased with her, but every little way she fails to be a perfect worker is met with chiding and disapproval. Kaiyara is very functional but works through a thick fog of depression. Somewhere, deep down, she resents her family, but she isn't consciously aware of this
Kaiyara has a delicate grace to her, and is comfortable with shades of gray. At her best, she is capable of great feats, especially for the sake of honoring promises she has made. At her worst, her numbness to pain can close her mind to outside experiences.
