Encyclopedia : K : KI : KIR : Kira (Gelfling)
Kira is a protagonist in Jim Henson's 1982 fantasy film, The Dark Crystal.
Kira survived the slaughter of her people, the Gelflings, by her mother hiding her in a hollow tree trunk. After witnessing the death of her mother by a Garthim, Kira was later found and raised by the Podlings, who became her adopted family. Accompanied by her pet, Fizzgig, Kira often wandered through the swamps and forests around her village, learning the ways and the speech of the flora and fauna. It was one day that Fizzgig startled Jen, who was wandering the forest, baffled by his mission and by the mysterious crystal shard that he now possessed. Kira and Jen, through dreamfasting, quickly befriended each other, and Kira would join Jen on his quest to heal the Crystal and restore the vitality of their world.
Kira wears a golden-brown dress and a brown cloak. Her complexion is pale and her hair is long and fair. It was Kira who summoned the Landstriders who carried them to the Castle of the Crystal.
