Biography
When Hajime was watching a bunch of beastman children play in Verbergen, Kira had been quietly observing him from behind a tree. Hajime soon noticed her and asked her what she wanted, but she was so scared that she froze up while beginning to cry. Hajime then decided to turn his attention back on the other children and continued watching them in a relaxed manner. Seeing Hajime in such a calm state prompted Kira to gradually approach him as her fear of him turned into curiosity. She wanted to talk to him, but she was still too nervous to say anything. Hajime then decided to break this tension and asked Kira if she had ever met a dagon before. Once she realized that Hajime was talking to her, Kira shook her head in response. Hajime then told her about them and where they lived, which immediately sparked Kira's curiosity as she sat down next to him to hear more. Hajime then began to tell Kira of his adopted dagon daughter named Myu, but that only confused Kira since Hajime was a human who claimed to have a Beastman daughter. She then asked Hajime if he was as prince since he was in a relationship with Shea Haulia, who had recently been dubbed a princess by the media in Verbergen, but Hajime denied being a prince and said he was with Shea because he loved her for who she was, all while gently ruffling Kira's bunny ears. Kira was confused for a moment, but soon expressed a fondness towards Hajime as she sat on his lap and asked him to tell her more about his daughter. As Hajime was telling Kira about his adventures, the rest of the Beastmen children soon arrived to listen to his stories. Afterwords they all played together until they were tired and fell asleep, with Kira having fallen asleep on Hajime's lap.

When Hajime returned to Verbergen with his family for their holiday vacation, Kira was among the servants within the elders' reception hall that was preparing the table for them to eat. Everyone was immediately drawn to Kira due to her being the first Rabbitman they met that still retained their original timid nature, unlike those from the Haulia Tribe. Kira immediately denied that she was a member of the Haulia Tribe, to which the tribe chief Cam asked her if she wanted to join. Kira, however, rejected his invitation. As she was about to return to her chores, Hajime suddenly remembered her from their previous encounter. He beckoned her to approach him, to which she eagerly did, and Hajime proceeded to pat her head. Kira was so overjoyed at seeing him again that she accidentally called Hajime "Dad". Kira attempted to clear up the misunderstanding, but this interaction immediately upset Hajime's daughter Myu, and began to accuse Kira of wanting to steal Hajime away from her. Moments later, a past replay of events was on display from Yue that depicted Hajime's first encounter with Kira and the other Beastman children. When it was finished, Myu apologized to Kira for her accusations, and instead went on a long-winded speech that was essentially blaming Hajime for being too kind to the children. Kira was confused at first, but she was happy nonetheless, and cheerfully returned to her servant duties. While she continued to serve Hajime's family, Kira witnessed a brief confrontation between Yue and Kaori. She was utterly terrified by it due to the powerful magic each of them was using towards each other. Kira was also present when the harpy elder Mao was interviewing Hajime's family for Verbergen's monthly magazine publication (while Hajime was preoccupied elsewhere). Kira overheard everything that was being talked about during the interview, including his nighttime activities with his wives. When Hajime returned, Kira was so embarrassed about what she previously heard that she blushed at the first sight of him, then followed up by calling Hajime a brute before frantically walking away.

Relationships
