Who is it you see? I am one of the best assassins in the Netherbane and I live up to my name! I could easily wipe out their species if I want to! I have my own reasons for doing this but it's not something your cowardice can grasp. Now, let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Kane. I AM the danger. You think I'm mere prey for the Piglin King? No. I am the one who hunts! Ciara (/sɪˈɑːrə/), the Netherbane Cutthroat, is a Netherbane assassin and Kane's partner. She first appeared in "Wishing Dead" and is voiced by Aryn Rozelle. An agile and ruthless fighter, Ciara is an undead human, only able to be killed by decapitation or strong magic.

Ciara was slain by the Nether Princess after trying to assassinate her lifelong enemy, the Piglin King. Kane was forced to form a truce with the Princess by helping her defeat Lance, after convincing the Princess he would invade the Nether. Afterwards, Kane revived Ciara with one of Lance's totems of undying and gave her Lance's karambits, a pair of knives which can teleport its user when thrown. When Kane and Ciara joined the Ender Watchers Banner Endstone Crusaders, she finally got the chance to kill the Piglin King.

Rainimator Ciara is a short female - shorter than Stella - who originally had brown hair and hazel eyes, with tan skin. Her outfit in both iterations is composed of a red plaited top with short grey pants[1], and black boots with red laces. Her former weaponry in this time included a katana and a pair of knives.

Upon her revival, her skin turned grey, her hair noticeably darkened and her eyes turned electric blue; traits of a Totem-revived Undead Human. The only other thing that changed was her weapons (the original were lost in the Nether), taking Lance's karambits for her own.

For the Season 4 redesigns, Ciara's overhaul is remarkably more effective for her combat style. The Cutthroat now sports a red, checkered corset, black armguards and pauldrons of leather, a red hair clip, and grey pants with red stitching along the sides. A blackened scar is visible across her abdomen as a result of Klaus' stabbing her with his armblade during the events of Already Dead. Ciara is a listener. She has heard countless of stories from chatting with many other people in taverns she visited. The dragon tamer's story, however, is none like others, and it piqued her interest. She may offer some advice and words of comfort for her fellow broken undead. and sassy fighter, who is focused on finishing her task without any remorse for whomever she slays, and no matter the cost. Because of this, it made her extremely close-minded, as she was unable to realize Stella is fully human by the time she fought her, and caused her to ignore Kane and his voice of reason. Ciara is also prone to underestimating her enemies, not helped by her unhealthy sense of pride, which has ultimately cost the Cutthroat her life in one such encounter.

Prior to her final battle with Porkshire, Ciara had shown hints of being a decent person deep on the inside, being able to gauge someone's worry or distress rather quickly (EG: Rain in Cold as Ice: The Remake). Most of her more positive traits become more apparent after the death of Porkshire, including a willingness to connect with others on a personal level (EG: Rain and his relationship with Abigail). However, since she is still new to this, it can be perceived as meddlesome to those who knew her prior to killing her nemesis.

Skills

Her discipline with blades made her one of the Netherbane's finest demon hunters, perfectly capable of clearing bastions on her own. Such as her main blades ender karambits.

Ciara is shown to have prowess in close combat fighting, utilizing her karambits and their abilities to their full potential. She is capable of teleporting through use of her karambits and with ease and has higher pain resistance than most, a trait seemingly shared by Undead Humans. Ciara is skilled in ambushes and the art of distraction, preferring the shroud of nightfall, stealth and swiftness; she usually disarms her opponent or forces their weapon back before swiftly executing the killing blow whilst they are still exposed. However, with no exploitable vulnerabilities or exposed areas, she usually falters in the game of endurance, before she accidentally falls to the same tactic she exploits with such effectiveness. Her teleportation can catch her opponents off guard, however, and she can clear entire bastions with ease.

It is revealed in Nightmares that Ciara actually once bore the Katana and knives used by Djinn in Wishing Dead. Her skill level in combat is shown to allow her to massacre the Piglins, kill General Tusk, and hold her own.

Weapons During the course of the series, Ciara has cycled through three weapons in particular. These are;

Katana - An iron bladed katana wielded by Ciara prior to her death against the Nether Princess. Later found and utilised by Djinn. Ciara's Knives - A pair of red-stained iron throwing knives wielded by Ciara prior to her death against the Nether Princess. Later found and utilised by Djinn. Ender Karambits - A pair of ender pearl infused, blue bladed karambits wielded formerly by Lance. They were given to Ciara after her revival.
