Soul Calibur 3

There was an underground organization called the Bird of Passage that hid in the shadows of history. They formed contracts with the powerful and sent out assassins to eliminate their enemies. Tira was an assassin raised by this organization. The act killing had become such a regular routine in her life that she needed to kill on a regular basis for the stimulation it provided.

When the Evil Seed rained down, Tira was in the middle of a mission and the chain of command collapsed. Tira was suddenly set free from the underground world.

She has since forgotten where she was when this event transpired.

For a while, she was taken in by an ordinary family in an ordinary city and lived a quiet life amongst ordinary people. This did not last long, however, and a simple event caused her to murder the entire family.

She then began her wandering lifestyle, killing those who crossed her path. Her emotions grew intense to where the slightest trigger could cause her to become depressed or manic.

One day, she came across information about Nightmare, and her heart leapt at the thought of finding someone like herself. Following the trail of slaughter, she tracked down the Azure Knight.

"Finally, someone to whom I can give myself entirely..." Thought Tira.

Now a faithful servant of ther evil sword, she operates behind the scenes, controlling a flock of ravens. She has been given two missions.

Her first task is to destroy the spirit sword and free the evil sword. Her second task is to locate a new host for the cursed sword.

Those who meet with her approval shall have their souls burned by the flame of the cursed sword. Those who do not, Tira will surely take their lives to bring joy to her own.

When the two swords clashed, Tira had already arrived at the Lost Cathedral and was waiting before the gate. Having been turned to evil, she was affected strongly by the destruction unleashed by the meeting of the swords. Tira's mind was torn apart, shattered into countless shards. But her consciousness clawed itself together again. In the end, she became two people, her mind reformed into two separate entities that represented the extremes of the original, unstable Tira.

Upon her return to Ostrheinsburg, Tira began processing the information that her watchers carried to her, that she might hand Soul Edge, her king and master, the advantage in the battle that was to come. She would use the habitants of the cursed city to wear down the power of the sprit sword, and when at last they fought, the cursed sword would turn Ostrheinsburg into a giant vessel and every soul within that place would be caught within it's maw, including the Spirit Sword. She knew that then her king would win.

And at that moment, Tira, too, would become a part of Soul Edge. A feeling she had never felt before swelled in her, but she - both of her - did not understand it.

"Soul Edge will consume everything! Yes, everything!"

"Everything I am is devoted to the service of my king."

A tiny glimmer of fear sparked in the chink between her two personalities, but it was forced down below the surface of her consciousness. It would not emerge again.
