Kera Young

"Do you really wanna mess with a Heylin witch?"-Kera Young

Kera Young is the daughter of Chase and Ikari Young and the current Princess of Cortania. A naive and cheerful child, she harbours vasts powers and is the first Heylin witch to be born in nearly two millenia. Despite the inherrent dark nature of her powers, Kera intends to use them for the forces of good, rather than the forces of evil as her father once did.

Life During the Cosmic War
Kera was born to Ikari and Chase eight years before the start of the Cosmic War. She was a somewhat sheltered child, due to her parents and grandmother trying to protect her from the growing dissent within their universe. Consequently, almost nothing is known about Kera's life. What is known is that she was sent to the Fienox castle after Cortania was invaded, with Vasuki being assigned as her protector. They both witnessed Chase and Ikari's death's at the hands of the Eclipses, cauing a mentally traumatised Kera to flee. Vasuki gave chase, but Chaos gave the order to destroy the Cortanian palace. After the dust settled, Vasuki saw Kera's 'body,' crushed under the debris.

What actually happened was that Kera used her magic to fake her death and settled in a far-flung corner of the universe, waiting out the War. However, after the war ended, she was unable to move on from the deaths of her loved ones or the horrors she had seen. Unable to let herself get close to anyone again, Kera died broken-hearted, when she was just seventeen.

New life
Kera was reborn shortly after Chase and Ikari became the rulers of Cortania. One major difference between this Kera and her Cosmic War counterpart was that she was born with a number of new abilities including control over the elements of water and air and being the first Heylin witch to be born in 1500 years. Thing caused Chase immense guiltm as he felt that Kera had been cursed by his stupidity. (Remember, Chase was manipulated into joining the Heylin.) She also had no memories of her past life, like her father.

A sweet baby, she mananged to charm her way into nerly everyone's heart, even turned the feared Dia Fienox into a helpless puddle of goo.
