take this pink ribbon off my eyes
i'm exposed
and it's no big surprise
don't you think i know
exactly where i stand
this world is forcing me
to hold your hand
'cause i'm just a girl, little 'ol me
don't let me out of your sight
i'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
so don't let me have any rights

All her life, Kira has been a bit of a tomboy. She's snuck out of the castle to learn fencing and archery, she learned how to throw a hard and accurate punch. Slowly, she's become a skilled warrior.

i've had it up to here!
the moment that i step outside
so many reasons
for me to run and hide
i can't do the little things i hold so dear
'cause it's all those little things
that i fear

Then, suddenly and without a visible cause, her teacher was killed by Sceithian ambassitors. Furious and bent on revenge, the fighter-in-disguise went to her younger brother and demanded complete freedom and the right to bear arms. She refused (you know how these sibling things go) and she stormed off into the castle, but Chris knew her well enough to know what she was up to. Thinking from memory, he had her roomed locked from the outside and her window barred.

So, now locked in her room, Kira is starting to take up the magic she stopped studying when she was twelve in the interest of continuing her physical fighting education. Chris didn't deny her any books, did he? But alas, the books have, as of yet, found no answers. Will she ever find a way out, will someone rescue her and will she be able to avenge the death of her teacher?

'cause i'm just a girl i'd rather not be
'cause they won't let me drive
late at night i'm just a girl
guess i'm some kind of freak
'cause they all sit and stare
with their eyes
i'm just a girl
take a good look at me
just your typical prototype
