Kira is a protagonist in Jim Henson's 1982 fantasy film, The Dark Crystal.
Kira survived the slaughter of her people, the Gelflings, because she was hidden by her mother 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. Because of the Podlings, Kira learned to speak with the animals and developed a respect for the natural world. 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. Though the quest cost Kira her life, she was revived by UrShek as Jen held her to him.
Kira wears a golden-brown dress and a brown cloak. Her complexion is pale and her hair is long and fair.
