Aidan Shepherd
"How could you be so cold dad? Aidan nearly lay down his life to save mine and you treat him like he doesn't even exist!"

"I sent him because I love you and wanted to make sure I got you back safely!"

"You love me? Then you should've been the one to come and get me! You sent him because you didn't care if he lived or died!"

"Don't talk to me like that young lady! I'm your father!"

"He's a better father than you'll ever be!" - Kiera and her father Isaac, shortly after her recovery from the Yakuza and Aidan's subsequent hospitalization

Kiera took a liking to the young assassin from the first day the two met. He was the youngest of the assassins by a considerable margin and developed a bit of a crush on him which, much to Aidan's embarrassment, was the topic of more than a few humorous comments amongst his peers. Between Aidan's training and focus on his work, he never much acknowledged the young girl, even going so far to ask her why she was allowed there to begin with. Aidan typically brushed off the young girl with little to no problem, feeling that such a young child shouldn't be around a bunch of criminals. Aidan came to accept the girl's presence and eventually they started to speak, though not at length and infrequently. Aidan would eventually speak to Kiera on a more regular basis, even dispensing advice on occasion.

After Aidan fulfilled the contract on Sophia, their relationship soured for a time but eventually things were smoothed over between the two. With Kiera's biological parents often preoccupied with other things, the three of them had formed a sort of father-mother-daughter dynamic and it hit Kiera hard when she found out about Aidan's role in Sophia's death. She refused to speak to him for quite some time and interacted with him only when necessary. After some time and conversation, the two resolved the situation. Despite Sophia's absence, Kiera and Aidan kept the familial dynamic alive.

It wasn't until she got older and after Aidan rescued her from her Yakuza kidnappers, his near-death protecting her at his apartment, and her family's indifference to his well-being, that Kiera started to look at Aidan as a better father and better man than those in her own family, even taking to him issues a daughter typically discusses with her father. After Aidan recovered and throughout their lives so far the two have been very close, despite her knowing what he does for a living and her growing up into a young woman and not just a little girl.

Family
While originally on very good terms with her parents, she started to drift away from them as she continued to get older. With neither father nor mother taking issue with her being around the criminal elements she came to see some of them, Sophia and Aidan especially, in a familial light.

While Aidan recovered and witnessing her family's treatment of the nearly-deceased assassin, her attitude towards her parents became incredibly icy. Although she had a very low opinion of her parents, she never failed to realize that they were still her father and mother so she tried to stay respectful and, while respectful, she never sees her family as a daughter should.

Sophia Chamberlain
"It's actually humorous, comical even"

"What is?"

"I think she sees you almost as a second mother"

"My mother always said motherhood is a very humanizing experience"

"We're assassins Sophie, we're not supposed to have that experience" - Aidan and Sophia, remarking on Kiera's attachment to her

While not as immediate as her future perception of Aidan, Kiera quickly came to see Sophia as a strong willed sister figure with whom she could rely upon to give good advice between two girls. It was Sophia who found out first that Kiera had quite an interest in the newest assassin that Sophia had taken under her wing. She would, naturally, never hesitate to make a good joke about it but always in good fun. This unorthodox sisterhood would eventually turn into something resembling a family unit with the inclusion of Aidan, but the two ladies always had what Aidan referred to as "girl talk."

When she was made aware of Sophia's behavior and subsequent contract, she was distraught to learn about it in detail. She was even more hurt when she learned that Aidan had been the one to fulfill the contract. Having known Sophia for a while, Kiera knew that Sophia wouldn't want her to hold it against Aidan and to understand that it was never anything personal, but strictly business. Kiera understood that, and eventually forgave Aidan over time.

Unbeknownst to Aidan, Sophia liked to tell the young Kiera stories about when the pair first worked together in Aidan's earliest days. Aidan, the assassin, and Sophia, his handler. Kiera always found them fascinating and would listen to them more intently than any child's book. Aidan would come to tell her some similar stories, but always toned down so it was child safe.

Despite the loss of Sophia, Aidan and Kiera still maintain a father-daughter relationship and Kiera has never forgotten the woman who filled the role of mother between the three of them.

Skills/Abilities
A natural athlete, Kiera's a member of the Highbury Fields Gymnastics Club since first starting classes there. She also developed a talent for drawing and painting at a young age. Encouraged mainly by her extended family and instructors, she has and does spend a considerable amount of her after school time at various art clubs that Highbury Fields has.

After her kidnapping, she asked Aidan for some self-defense lessons. Despite his reservations, he would eventually agree and teach her some hand-to-hand combat and how to effectively use a Glock 26 he procured.
