Chapter Text
face claim for my character Kiara as Halle Bailey <3
JUST LIKE SPIDER, Kiara since a baby has been living in Pandora for as long as she can remember. Her and Spider were like two peas in a pod considering they wanted to learn the ways of the Na'avi people. Norman and other scientists alike, took them in and they were only tolerated because of Jake Sully.
She got along well with the entire family, with the exception of few, Neytiri still doesn't completely trust her considering she's a Sky Person and Neteyam at first did, but as attacks continue to occur in his homeland he feels more resentful and that's why Spider and him don't have a close of a friendship as before. It broke her heart even more considering ever since she was 4-5 years old she's had a crush on him. It hasn't stopped sadly and now that Neteyam rarely ever speaks to her makes her mask her feelings for him even more. Spider knows and even though they're not blood siblings he's protective of her and tells her it’s not worth liking someone who would break her heart.
Even though the Na'vi Forest community hasn't fully accepted her she makes good use of her time. She's an amazing healer from what Kiri tells her and her hunter skills with a bow and arrow have improved each year. She continue to get disapproving glances from some of Na'avi and then went inside Norm and Max’s lab cubicle.
" Hey how's it going Ki?" He said with a friendly smile as she entered. She tried not to frown and give a smile of her own as well. She understood why they didn't trust her, but she would never want to hurt them. It stills feels like she'll always be an outsider and thankfully she's not alone and Spider is with her on that same boat.
" It's going okay. Just finished making more healing ointments and such. Can I ask you a personal question Norm?"
He nodded and gave a curious glance.
" Did any of my family ever survive?" Norman hesitated but he didn't want to lie.
" Your mom gave you away and then left with the nearest ship back to Earth. Your dad there is no record or trace of him. We assume he's dead."
Hearing the truth was a gut to the stomach. She swallowed and tried to count to 50, so her mind would distract her instead of crying at least. Her own mother didn't want her and maybe she had a good reason for that but it still hurt nonetheless.
" I'm sorry Ki."
" no it's fine, if anything... I have more chores to do. Thanks Norm.. I'll see you later." She said quickly and then left the cubicle as she was breathing hard. In hiding, tears freely fells from her eyes.

By the time she arrived back to the camp, it was chaos as so many Na'avi warriors were injured. She noticed that Lo'ak and Spider were talking amongst themselves. Kiri and Tuk looked over at her and smiled. But then by the look of Neteyam he looked ashamed and was injured as well.
"Father I'm sorry." He said and Jake Sully looked disappointed and annoyed.
" next time be the big brother that you're supposed to be and you Lo'ak stop being so reckless and you're grounded." He voiced his thoughts.
" He needs to be healed." Neytiri saw that cut across his chest and had a look of concern for her son.
" Kiara can help with that and I'll help Lo'ak."
Neteyam eyes held a disapproving glance her way and he shook his head. " No, I don't want her to heal me. She can heal Lo'ak." Before, Kiri could disagree, Kiara didn't say anything and smiled at Lo'ak.
So she placed a few ointments on the burns across his shoulder blades and face. He almost hissed and groaned in pain. " Uh, I don't know why Neteyam is like that with you even he's not that rude to Spider."
" I can't blame him and at this point I no longer question it." She said and nodded. Lo'ak was observant at least and he knew she had a crush on his older brother at least. He used to tease her about it until she told him she was only breaking her her own heart at least in a stupor of honesty.
" You're too nice to him. If anything, he's an idiot for that."
" Who's an idiot?" Neteyam cut in the conversation and then she gave a look to Lo'ak.
" You're all good to go Lo'ak and I've to meet up with Kiri to help her more.." She said before she could spare a glance to the both of them.
" Kiara.. before you go.. I'll like to say I'm sorry for my rude behavior... I.. trust my sister more to heal my injuries." She nodded with a tight lip and regardless gave a friendly smile.
" It's fine... I understand.. see you guys later."
Lo'ak then grabbed his brothers tail and almost twisted it.
" What was that for?!"
" You're such an asshole, Kiara has always been nice to you and you treat her more like crap than Spider. You don't trust her when ever since she's been a kid, she's only been nice to you and friendly. And don't start with you don't know her very well... when let's be honest you don't want to get to her know. Besides Spider, she has us too and that's all." Lo'ak didn't expect to outburst but he did. Kiara is his friend and he couldn't understand why his older brother could be rude to her.
Neteyam stayed quiet and didn't say anything afterwards. His brother walked away and he sighed. He didn't want to admit that Kiara was constantly in his mind and he hated himself for it. She was a Sky person and he couldn't like her but it was hard not to.
Everything about her is captivating. Her grace, beauty, intelligence and kindness but made him wish more Sky people were like her. Then again, nothing would ever be able to happen between the two. He would be betrothed to someone else and she would possibly be with Spider.
He pondered over that and grimaced.
