Lore
During the Noxian Invasion of Ionia, Kyra led her legion deep within the jungles of Ionia. As they crept into the woods, eerie sounds echoed around the lush environment. Kyra and her stalwart and battle-hardened men paid no heed and continued, eventually finding themselves surrounded by strange chimeric creatures. The creatures warned:
"Turn back or be tore to pieces!".
Kyra ignored such small words and began to taunt the creatures.
"Low-life scum! You are not the one to make demands here. Prepare to taste Noxian Steel!"
she screamed as she lunged forward and bashed one beast on the head. This immediately started a brutal skirmish between the Noxian legion and the beasts. As the battle raged more creatures joined, creatures with varied features, with varied combat styles. The Noxians were outnumbered and outmatched.
As her numbers get decimated, Kyra was devastated and at the same time fascinated on how strong the creatures were. She was forced to order a retreat, but to remove such guilt from a dishonorable command, she ordered to kidnap a lone beast, sacrificing half of the surviving soldiers in the process. A bold move, and quite a rewarding one. In her camp she began torturing the one taken. She whipped it, starved it and skin some parts of it out of crazed frustration.
As the war ended, she carried her "pet" to Noxus. However, as it grows weaker, she started to get bored with it. She no longer feel the mix of thrill, fear, admiration and vengeance towards the creature so she tried to bring it back to good health. Wanting to test her own strength, she ordered her men to prepare a big cage in which she and the creature would be put to battle. There, she sparred with the beast and carefully learned its moves as it clawed and bit but as she learned how the creature fought and started winning the combat, the mixed feeling began to fade again. She ordered her men to stop the match and bind the creature. Frustrated, she thought of a glorious idea. She thought the creature started to fear and so it simply was weaker and only when its in its primal state will it have its power. She methodically tortured it until it became the savage beast she wants. Now with that mixed feeling she battled it to the point where she herself resorted to quick wit and fast movements as if she's fighting to survive. She was so engrossed in combat she forgot she's just in a cage with a beast, with her men ready to stop the fight any moment. But before she knew it, Kyra had already killed the beast, its skull crushed beneath her foot.
She had it skinned, adoring her armor with the beast's pelt and infusing the creature's magic into her.
In pursuit of great challenge and power, Kyra went to Krexor and challenged the 
Minotaurs in the city. Her ruckus was brought to the attention of the current leader, Steward Lisabetya. The leader immediately ordered for Kyra to leave.
As Kyra was forced out of the city, a minotaur said
"Hmph! Cowardly Noxian! You're so confident in challenging someone in chains, I'm just a blacksmith here but I'm sure a true Minotaur warrior of the Great Barrier will pummel you!"
These words tickled Kyra's face to a sinister smile. Her heart raced as she set out to hunt the power of the Minotaur in the mountains.
Upon arriving, nothing but a lowly beggar greeted him
"Please i beg you ma'am, give me some spare food." said the beggar
and Kyra quickly threw a loaf of bread to the beggar's face.
"Thank you! May the sun bless you!"
"Oh wait, are you perhaps thirsty as well?" Kyra asked.
But before the beggar could speak she shoved a bottle of water to the beggars mouth and made him drink it nearly drowning the poor fellow.
"Have you seen any Minotaurs around here?"
While coughing, the beggar replied
"Haven't you heard the saying: Mess with the bull and you get-"
"the horns? exactly what I wanted, haha. Here have some more bread, I think I know where to find one of these Minotaurs"
Kyra tossed her remaining bread to the beggar's face while she stares at the near cliffs with excitement as she sees the mighty beast she was looking for marching up the cliffs.
As she catched up to the beast she asked
"Are you their champion?"
"You have good eyes human, hmmm? and it appears I have poor ones. Upon closer inspection, your eyes seem.....different."
"Fight me monster!"
"Monster?! Humans are the monsters and cowardly ones at that. So you'll lure me away from my village and slaughter my people while I'm away? I've heard enough tales to be tricked by the likes of you"
"So your village is near huh, but don't worry, once I kill you I will return home."
"Enough of your lies!"
The Minotaur charged viciously towards Kyra and as Kyra tried to block she got knocked back and forth. Kyra then dashed back as the creature pounded the ground sending dirt and rocks flying. With every swing of the Minotaur's head, Kyra noticed that it gets a little carried by the momentum, and with this information she backed against a wall. Will the momentum of its charge cause its downfall? No! Kyra knew that a champion won't bump his head against a wall that easily. The minotaur charged faster and on the last moment stopped his charge and swung his head instead. As Kyra assumed, the minotaur would certainly stop and swing his head and taking advantage of this she jumped and grabbed the minotaur by its horns and using the momentum of the swing, she landed on the minotaur's back and twisted the minotaur's head and breaking it's neck with an empowered attack from her Panther paw.
True to what she said, she went home after killing the beast and taking its horns and infusing its magic into her.
After some weeks, she went back to Ionia. She walked inside a pub with the Noxian crest in her belt clearly visible to the shocked Ionians. With rage they readied their weapons. But noticing such behavior Kyra said,
"I love the warm welcome Ionians give to their guests."
"Any Noxian is no guest of ours!"
"And here I thought you are not battle hungry freaks like a certain nation I live in, the war is over and I came here not as a soldier, I have no duties to Noxus so far. I am here to, what you Ionians call 'seek balance'."
"Lies from a warmongering trickster demon"
"What does that even mean? Anyways here, suddenly got this when i came to Ionia..."
Kyra showed her pantheran paw surprised nearly all the whole pub.
"Suddenly? Are you not born with it?"
"Look chingchong do you think my parents are lions, leopards or something? They are humans or else I will be a slave in Noxus right now"
"Slaves?" said asked a guy who is already troubled by Kyra's constant disrespect.
"Nevermind that part the point here is that I am human and magical sht happened here in Ionia."
Then a tall man fully robed in orange and white. His face is covered with a uniquely large rice hat.
"You must have been chosen by the spirits"
After that people can be heard murmuring about one particular word
"Vastaya"
"Come with me and I will help you find someone of Vastayan blood to teach you" said the tall man as he exits the pub.
Kyra followed and as they arrived in an isolated area, she pounced on the tall man and grabbed its neck.
"You think I wouldn't notice? I can smell your stench animal! But for me to be able to grab you like this, you must be uninteresting"
Then a quick kick from the creature makes Kyra lose hold of its neck. Then the creature folded its robes to prepare for combat revealing its feathered body, tall crane like feet and enormous bird wings attached in its arms.
"You really are nothing but a warmongering trickster demon"
"Hahahaha that really cracks me up. What the duck is that even?"
"Duck? As you can see I am blessed with the power of the crane and I'm with this power I will indeed crack your skull up" as he dashes towards Kyra.
Kyra quickly dodged and slightly disgusted she said,
"Uhh...lame."
Kyra assaulted the crane Vastaya with a series of swipes and pounces ripping some of its body feathers. Then the crane took flight.....
