Name: Kira Karram Nurrum posing as Horst

Age: 36

Height: 5'4''

Weight: 130 lbs

Gender: Female

Species: Screwhead posing as Irken
(Not much is known about the Screwheads(heck as far as I know from what I have read around the internet, we don't even know if that's what they are called canonly (Please correct me if I'm wrong!)) and they are only featured in one episode. So everything concerning her race is going to be fan speculations I have gathered on the internet and my own head cannons. For example: I liked the Idea that the screws in their heads are Irken probes which makes them easier to control, and that is going to be a huge part of her back story.
Also I imagine that they are a bit more big boned and sturdy than the average Irken and instead of being somewhat inspired by insects, like Irkens are, they are somewhat inspired by reptiles. In my head canon they can use their tongue like snakes do to detect odors left by other creatures and they are also slightly nearsighted. )

Bio:
Kira has been working at the conveyor belts most of her life, always with the feeling that she had to get away, they ALL had to get away. Easier thought than done. The probes wouldn't let the need for freedom evolve into more than just a feeling and the ever so watchful eyes of the Irken guards made sure that any attempt would immediately be punished. The Screwheads had a few victories. Or so they seemed at the time in the unsatisfactory state their mind was in. When Kira later thought about it, switching the labels of two packages might not have been the greatest milestone in their fight against the Irken empire.
She eventually escaped her prison, but not by any grand plan or anything like that, no she simply slipped. The area where she worked had a lot of casualties, one of the most common ones being Screwheads slipping on the wobbly platforms and plummeting to their death far far below, and that is exactly what happened to Kira. The Irken Soldiers didn't even bat an eye as she fell screaming. She could be replaced. Every Screwhead were replaceable, so no need to get their superior Irken hands dirty by moving any of the dead slaves lying below. The laziness of the guards was what saved Kira that day. Without even moving a finger they had provided her a soft landing. The sight and smell forever imprinted in her memories.
Except for a few scrapes, bruises and a broken arm she was pretty unharmed. The only thing that hadn't survived the fall was the probe. The top had collided with the edge of a platform on the way down, broken off and had knocked Kira unconscious in midair. The massive wall of brain activity that hit her when she woke up and hadn't yet discovered where she was, were overwhelming.
She could think clearly and actually think for herself.
At firsts, shocked by the whole incident, she didn't do much other than hiding and thinking, but it soon became apparent to her, that she had to get food and water at some point. She was also in need of treatments to her wounds. She very quickly figured a way to open and loot smaller crates, that was stored in rarely monitored buildings down at the bottom. But when the head of the Conveyor Belt Planet got complaints about the looted packages however, things started to get less rarely monitored, and Kira knew she had to defend herself sooner or later.
Her first kill was difficult, and didn't leave her unharmed, but because of the cover of stealth, she had had the upper hand, even though her weapon had just been a metal shard. And as she was standing looking down at the body of the Irken Soldier, a great plan formed in her head, or at least the beginning of it.
She wore the parts of his uniform that would fit, and used his weapon to hunt down and kill, until she had a complete uniform. On a distance she would now pass for a Irken soldier. She made herself a hood to cover her face, with fake antennas to make it even more convincing. It made her stalking around easier, and when confronted from a distance, she pulled the obsessively insane soldier, who was certain that the disappearances of guards, was because of a killer, she was desperately looking for. But when confronted up close, her disguise wasn't all that convincing, and she always aimed to kill them fast while the surprise was still in their eyes. Her great plan was to kill all the guards one by one, until she had freed her people. Not noticing, that the plan was completely unrealistic and insane. At this point the reasonable part of her brain was mostly gone, and all she could think of was revenge and her idea of helping her people.
She had really become the obsessive soldier she was pretending to be.
Even though news of her killings got out, no one in the Irken empire took her very seriously. She was more of a nuisance than an actual threat. But eventually the guards started to work in groups, instead of walking around alone, and Kira had to change her way of realizing her goal. She overheard numerous guards talking about a tournament of fire or something like that. And that the winner would get ANY wish granted. One of the guards was going to attend, in hopes that she would gain glory and wealth. At that moment Kira knew, that she was going to kill the guard and take her place. But a tournament? Like an arena? One on one? She could handle one on one combat, but she needed more suitable weapons. With the knowledge she had, she started to build firearms and various close combat artillery, from the electrical teaser staffs she had collected, from the Irkens she had killed. Not perfect amazing weapons, but good enough to do the job that was required. She trained her voice to sound more Irken, perfected her disguise so it would only be the fall of the hood that would reveal her, and used every opportunity she got to sharpen her aim despite her nearsightedness.
When day of departure came Kira had already packed and found her way onto the ship.

Personality:
As long as the hood is up covering her face and her Screwhead origin is hidden, she will act very collected and mostly silent, trying to stay in character as an Irken soldier so she won't lose the possibility of getting the grand prize. But as soon as the hood is down, the act is pointless and she gets very talkative. VERY talkative. She hasn't had anyone to talk to out of character for so long, so a nice chat wouldn't hurt would it? She does also have a habit of laughing at inappropriate things and when she is scared. She can pull the serious business all frown and no fun too and she shifts between her states of mind on a dime.

Strengths:
Stealth and surprise attacks are without a doubt her strong points, and her tongue makes it that much easier to detect her target.
Close combat is where she can show her full potential and she is equally skilled with all of her melee weapons.
She is very patient and if she catches the scent of her opponent before the opponent sees her, she will stay silent and hidden until the perfect opportunity to strike.
She possesses basic mechanic skills.
She doesn't have a dominant hand and can work just as well with left as with right.
Her tongue can help her "see" in the dark.

Weaknesses:
Kira will have a very hard time killing opponents from any other species than Irken.
While what is left of the probe doesn't function anymore it still causes great pain when touched. Kira has tried to remove the tip by herself multiple times always causing unbearable agony, that sometimes brought her to accidentally cut herself more seriously than first intended. Almost lost her eye once. Only the soft cloth of her hood and materials alike, are light enough not to cause any pain when placed over the stump. The pain can cause immobilization.
She is nearsighted, so the further away her opponent is the more they resemble undefinable blobs. She can still detect movements, but what the movements are doing and what they are she has no idea.
The right arm broke in the fall she had long long ago, so it's a bit more stiff than the left.
While she does have ranged weapons, she is not as skilled with them as she is with her melee weapons, mainly due to her nearsightedness. They mostly serve as intimidation and to cover up the fact that she is near sighted. When used, she tends to fire wildly in hopes of hitting something instead of doing precise shots. She is capable of the latter (as capable as her nearsightedness allows her), but it takes longer and makes her feel unprotected.
She has never encountered big bodies of water before, and with that armor, she'll probably sink like a stone.

Miscellaneous:
She thinks the tournament is only for Irkens, hence her disguise, so she's not mentally prepared to be facing other species.
She collects Irken antennas as trophies.
