Story[]
Embodying the spirit of Sev, an ancient tree in Sanghalim, Kora's roots have long bridged the Underlands and the surface. For over seven centuries, she has served as a guardian to the desert, its creatures, and the few indigenous peoples who live close to the land.
It was five hundred years ago when she fought alongside Ilmeri, the avatar of Ka-Shin, to depose the wicked archmage Dajiin. Kora watched Ilmeri bind him into the form of a genie and cast judgment upon him, binding him into eternal service. Returning home, she wrote these deeds down in a book, which she entrusted to the great library in the Village of the Keepers.
When John and Rin approached her with news of the sorcerer's return, it awakened centuries-old memories of the cruel devastation of her home at the hands of the Marrijani.
As perhaps the last surviving participant in those fateful events, Kora has thrown in her lot with the Common Estate. Her ancient secrets have proven invaluable in the plan to rebind the genie.
As her home is overrun by railways and pollution, and the desert is despoiled of its wealth, she wonders silently if his power might be better used than sealed away.
Powers & Abilities[]
Kora's strikes inflict painful thorns, which do continuous damage over time. Removing these thorns forces opponents to forfeit their styles, making them choose between less life or fewer options in the coming beats.
By steadily inflicting light hits and avoiding retaliation, Kora can wear opponents down and eliminate them!
