Summary

Kura was adopted by a family in a gifted shantytown named Ivywood, after being found at the door of the nearest orphanage. This was common in towns like these - oftentimes, some parents would abandon their children out of fear of being exposed to the public, where the town residents - normally Gifted in hiding - would take up the reins. She didn’t have many friends until she met Kei, who became her closest companion. He was the first to befriend the orphan girl, and the two often spent their days playing together as children. However, they had strayed to the forest outskirts on a dare, where Academy Officers had been patrolling that day. Kura was almost caught, had Kei not pushed her out of the way to prevent them from conscripting her. While his plan succeeded, he was taken away instead.

After that point, Kura became much more secretive and guarded, though the event that had happened in her youth - combined with the burning of her hometown by the Academy a few years later - left her with a strong desire to render justice. She would go on to join a band of freedom fighters, and become one of the most notable warriors in the Resistance. Her temporary power to boost the good fortune of her comrades has helped immensely in battle, though it can never be used for long-term gain. In addition to this, Kura herself seems to be blessed with luck in her day-to-day life - but it seems to have only added to her closing herself off further, as she watches the people around her disappear while she's left as the fortunate one. Despite her accomplishments, however, she still has a long way to go, and everything changes when she runs into an old friend turned renegade...
