Pumawari

Killari (/ki.ʎa.ɾi/, 'Moonlight'). Terran from the dense urban sprawl of Tarebo, Hasban; on the planet Bralo.She was once was once celebrated as the shining heroine of her homeland, but disillusioned by the creeping corruption at the heart of Tarebo government, she chose a darker path to become the hero her people needed, even if it meant staining her own reputation. Now infamous as the Black Mantis, she leads the rebellious Cybermantis faction—a feared and elusive group determined to dismantle the system from within.Killari is a volatile mix of reckless boldness and calculated strategy. Her sharp intellect clashes with her own inner turmoil, and she constantly battles with moral ambiguity. Easily distracted, yet highly efficient under pressure, she is a master multitasker when the action starts, transforming chaos into her battlefield.

HALICRON

Killari (/ki.ʎa.ɾi/, 'Moonlight'). She was once considered the heroine of her home country, but seeing the corruption of the government she decided to become a real heroine, at the cost of her own image and prestige.Known to many as the Black Mantis, she joined an emerging group later called the Cybermantis, when she became their leader.She is always reckless and strategic, but she has a hard time dealing with her own moral dilemmas. She is easily distracted, but when she gets into action she can be a multitasker.
