Kiera Swan

Kiera Swan was a female Weequay from Sriluur who became known during the Clone Wars as a pirate-turned-bounty hunter. She began with a ship-raiding past, but later left piracy behind and became more famous as a licensed hunter. Her old crimes still followed her, leaving a price on her head and making her wary of other bounty hunters.

By 20 BBY, Swan had built enough of a reputation to be recognized as a legendary hunter and a two-time winner of the Obsidian Sphere. Her skill caught the attention of Count Dooku and Moralo Eval, who brought her to Serenno with other elite hunters for a dangerous competition tied to a larger Separatist plot against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

Appearance: Kiera Swan has gray-tan ridged skin and a lean, wiry alien build with long limbs, narrow shoulders, and clawed hands. She has a heavily wrinkled, hairless face with deep forehead folds, sunken dark eyes, a flattened nose, thin lips, pointed ears, and small fang-like teeth visible at the mouth. A pale cloth headband with red floral markings wraps around her head, with a loose strip trailing from the side. Several long braided tendrils extend from the back of her head, ending in small metal-tipped pieces. She wears a tan utility outfit with a fitted short-sleeved top, loose tan pants, and a dark brown chest guard over the upper torso. Her neck is covered by stacked ribbed rings, and both forearms have segmented silver bracers with red-stained glove sections underneath. A brown utility belt wraps around her waist with small cylindrical cartridges. Her lower legs are covered by pale armored boots and wraps, with a rounded knee guard and reinforced shin panels.

Personality: Kiera Swan is confident, guarded, and professional, with the hard edge of someone who survived both piracy and bounty hunting. Her move from notorious Weequay pirate to legendary hunter shows adaptability, but the price on her head from her raiding days makes her cautious around other killers and mercenaries. She carries herself like someone used to dangerous company and values skill more than trust.

Her main connections are through the criminal and bounty-hunting world of the Clone Wars. Count Dooku and Moralo Eval recognize her reputation and bring her into their Separatist-backed operation with other elite hunters, placing her among figures such as Cad Bane, Embo, Twazzi, and Derrown. Her past as a pirate also leaves enemies behind, since former crimes continue to make her a target even after she becomes a licensed bounty hunter.

Kiera Swan is skilled in armed combat, unarmed fighting, starship piloting, agility, and infiltration, which fits her background as a pirate who successfully became a respected bounty hunter. She carries an EE-3 carbine rifle, giving her reliable ranged firepower for bounty work, ambushes, and dangerous jobs where she cannot afford to trust other hunters.
