Your Character
Kiara can be an ally of Your Character if you convinced her. In Book 3, Chapter 17, you have the option of choosing her as your Maid of Honor if Hana is not your love interest. If Hana is your fiancée, Hana will choose Kiara as her Maid of Honor.

In The Royal Heir, Book 1, when you try to ascertain if she is pregnant, she will tell you that she is busy with Council matters and her career, and has had no time for personal relationships nor romance. If Drake is not your spouse, she will admit to being attracted to him for a time but as he never expressed any interest in her, she did not pursue anything.

At the end of Book 2, she surprises you when she votes against you in the Conventus Nobilis. When you ask her about her vote in Book 3, she explains that she did not agree with your "reactionary" methods in ruling rather than being proactive or preventing crises. If asked, she says that Barthelemy promised her that he would only be your daughter's guardian in name only, and that you and your spouse would still have your daughter and he wouldn't take her away. He appeared to be the "steadier" candidate as his short time on the Royal Council had not raised any alarms. Whether you choose to forgive her or not, she changes her mind by the time the next vote comes around after witnessing Barthelemy's actions at the Beaumont bash and at your duchy's event.

When Barthelemy is voted to become Crown Regent, she buys you and your spouse some time by objecting and stating that Barthelemy hasn't been officially crowned and it's unclear if he has legal grounds to take the Crown Princess right then and there.

Drake
It is hinted that she finds Drake attractive in Book 2, Chapter 3. She flirts with him at the barn raising in Applewood and at Queen Regina's tea party. If Drake is your fiance, she shows a wistful look when being told about the engagement, probably meaning she had feelings for Drake.

Savannah
It is revealed in Book 2, Chapter 4, that Kiara was teaching Savannah French, much to Drake's surprise. It is also further revealed that the two were friendly with one another at court. When Savannah returns and meets up with Your Character and her bridal party in Book 3, Chapter 17, Kiara tells Savannah if anyone gives her a hard time, to let her know.

Hakim & Joelle
Hakim and Joelle are Kiara's parents. They are the Duke and Duchess of Castelsarreillan. In Book 3, Chapter 22, when Ezekiel decided to abdicate and become a veterinarian, Hakim appointed Kiara as the next in line of succession to Castelsarreillan.

Ezekiel Theron
Ezekiel is Kiara's older brother. He tells you and your friends that when she was five years old, she was already drafting trade treaties with him over their toys.

Penelope Ebrim
Penelope is Kiara's best friend at court. In The Royal Heir, Book 3, Penelope mentions that Kiara is one of her bridesmaids.
