Nira was a Nacatl scout and Sunstriker from on Alara. Although she was born and raised on Naya, she came to Bant following the destruction wrought by followers of the Grixis demon Nefarox.

History

When servants of Nefarox destroyed a whole village on Bant, Nira saved the girl Lia, whom she had seen practicing the art of stone breaking. Recognizing the importance of the girl's magical abilities, she asked Lia to destroy the "keystone" of the dragon skeleton that the servants of Nefarox were reanimating. To rouse her, she named the girl Kaa ("power") Lia. Although Kaalia successfully destroyed the dragon skeleton, Nefarox rose and killed her family, all the remaining villagers, and Nira herself.
