Appearance

---

Kivari is a Shintuln, a hunter species originating from the Shintari province in Mandasko.

Kivari is lithe, but very tall, standing at seven feet tall with heels on. Her bright orange fur is immaculate, with a long, brown snout countershaded with white facial markings. She has golden eyes that seldom widen, long, wispy eyelashes, and plump, black lips. Atop her head are tall brown ears, and a brown, silky bob-cut. Fitting for her stature, her tail is extremely long, even surpassing her height, that gets browner near the end until it bifurcates into a white tip.

Kivari wears a very ornate outfit, composed of a gilded-steel scale chest piece with faulds, decorated with spark-steel medallions, gold jewelry, and Shintaric scripture on top. Around her waist hang portrait miniatures of other esteemed Lightkeepers from different time periods, and underneath all of this gilded regalia, she wears a deep-purple sleeved dress and ivory-colored heels.

Personality

---

Kivari behaves in the way of someone at the top rungs of society, speaking in a practiced manner, and carrying a presence that is meant to evoke a sense of divinity. She appears to be very confident in herself, even to the point of showing sarcasm at the reveal of Glass’s fireworks and disregarding any danger she could be in.

As one of its holy figures, she considers herself to be the quintessential Shintaric. She provides her wisdom to Glass, urging her to seek purpose in the face of adversity. She also seems rather confused at Roni’s Herdish guilt, telling her to keep her chin up as “sulking is not the will of Daunto”.

It is also shown that Kivari may also indulge in the world of intrigue, as is evident for her plan to have Glass spy on The Circle in order to destroy them. She also holds a disgust for Pasturists, another longtime enemy of Shintarics, as well as a minor distaste for Qoths.

Background

---

As typical for a Lightkeeper, Kivari was born in the Shintari province of Mandasko. As a pup, she would succeed the necessary tests and be inducted into The Covenant as a Lightkeeper, where she’d be raised by a selection of other Lightkeepers and Covenant attendants.

When she came of age, Kivari spent her first few years of formal service tending to the 1st Beacon of Mandasko, under the month of Ovori. Outside of that month, she would perform the standard duties of Lightkeepers: from overseeing the religious affairs of The Covenant to being the final word in courtly matters, and many other tasks that are mostly private affairs.

After her time in Mandasko City, she then traveled to the 7th Beacon of Amurra during a time of religious upheaval. Once conditions in Amurra stabilized, Kivari would be seen in many areas across the country of Daunara for some time, then arriving at the 8th Beacon of Tenvar, the second gate caught in the chaos of the Three Gates War.

During her time at the 8th beacon, Kivari joined a dozen other Lightkeepers to protect the daily functions of the Beacon as a neutral entity in an active warzone. She and the others were overseers to a few thousand Mandaskan soldiers within the beacon. She would remain at the beacon until a Qothic galleass, The Fishwife crossed its oars too close to it, resulting in its obliteration and the total loss of the crew. She and a few other Lightkeepers would be separated and reassigned, with Kivari entrusted to the 9th Beacon of Siltria shortly after this incident.

In 1592, she currently resides in Cohv, tending to the 9th Beacon in Cohv as a sole Lightkeeper.
