Description

{{quoted text|Kiara is a cat burglar in more ways that one. She climbs buildings not only to steala jewels, but to steal cats from her victims. She then trains them to assist in her heists. Her fantastic, cat-like Dexterity has kept her from the law's reach."[1]

Kiara, Spellfire card #171 of 400, art by Ken Frank.

{{quoted text|... Kiara lives openly among humans, making her living as an expert thief. Kiara is fond of using keys and lock picks as jewelry. It advertises her trade, but she doesn't seem to care. Halflings do not view theft with the same moral indignation that humans do. To them, it is just another craft, no different than being a merchant."[2]

Notes

  1. ↑ On Trading Card #194 (1992), Kiara is listed as a gnome, but in the Spellfire Reference Guide, this was corrected to be halfling. It is unknown if "gnome" was a simple mistake or typo, or if some other error occured with matching the text to the artwork.
