Adira Riftwall

Adira  is a female Snow Leopard Keidran and the owner of the Riftwall East Tavern in Edinmire, while also the mother of Maeve Riftwall. Adira and her daughter are rare exceptions amongst Keidran as they neither slaves and neither live with the stigma of being a free Keidran, in fact a lot of the townsfolk of Edinmire look out for them due to Adira living there most of her life.

When the "Templar" attacked Edinmire her daughter was targeted by Roan with a magic fireball. In an effort to save her daughters life she pushed her out of the way only to be saved herself by Trace at the last second. In the days following Trace's group leaving town to visit his old estate Adira was abruptly arrested on suspicion of aiding the wolves in their attack by the local militia.

Appearance
Adira can be assumed to look like a average Snow Leopard Keidran, although there are few examples to compare her too. Adria is covered in white fur with black spots across her face chest and other limbs. The fur on her chest is much thicker, presumably a trait that most Snow Leopard Keidran due to their presence in naturally colder climates. She also has a set of black, more human style, hair at shoulder length.

Adira has always been seen to wear the same clothes, that being her tavern uniform. Her uniform consists of a corset and a black dress beneath it.

History
Adira was born and raised in the town of Edinmire. It is assumed that she inherited the Riftwall Tavern but regardless she has been working there in town ever since. At some point, likely after inheriting her tavern, she met an unknown Keidran and she became pregnant with her first and only daughter Maeve. Due to living in Edinmire all their lives the local townsfolk looked at Adira and Maeve with kind eyes when compared to most Keidran after seeing them grow up, Adria notes this fact and says that's one of the main reasons why she remains in town rather than moving elsewhere.

Chapter 18
Adira is first introduced early on in this chapter. When she first appears she welcomes Trace and Flora to her tavern. The couple are originally surprised by her appearance and attempt to make up a cover story for who the really are, Adira however says that she doesn't really care who they are and says not being nosey is what has always kept her ahead in life. The group enter her tavern and she shows them around, explaining some of it's history before seating them upstairs. She disappears to go get them drinks for a while before reappearing with her young daughter Maeve. She talks to the couple for a while about her time in Edinmire and her relatively good experience with Humans but stops half way when she notices the arrival of Tiger Keidran nomads coming through town. Flora corrects Adira after she assumes Flora was a scout for the nomads and is surprised of the couple's lack of knowledge regarding the peace talks set to happen in town. The two of them soon get up to leave, Flora asks how much they owe Adira but she tells her not to worry about it, yet Trace secretly leaves a large tip anyway.

Later on during Clovis' Guild's attack on the town, Maeve, who was earlier see leaving the tavern to see the tiger meetings, is finally tracked down by her mother. Suddenly one of the attacking "Templar" aimed a fireball spell at Maeve, Adira attempted to sacrifice herself by jumping in the way, only for the both of them to be subsequently saved by Trace and his magic. After the fighting had ended and Adira had been reunited she states how she had not expected Trace to save her like he did becuase his reputation. She told Trace that he could visit her tavern anytime so she could repay him, likely referring to free drinks, although she also gives him a cheeky "Thank you" lick before saying farewell.

Chapter 20
In the final page of the chapter a pair of soliders from Edinmire's millita arrive outside of the Riftwall Tavern. The two men knock on the door and Adira answers it, to which one of the soldiers asks if she is Adira. The same soldier explains that they have received reports that the wolves who attacked the town recently had apparently used the portal located inside of the tavern and that Adira needed to come with them for questioning. As her young daughter Maeve looks on the soldier presumably grabs Adira and drags her out while Maeve screams out for her.

Personality
Unlike most Keidran, who seem to either hate Humans or be ambivalent towards them, Adira has no problem living and working in a human town. She was shown to be a caring mother, saying her daughter Maeve should always look for the good in people. She is very caring for her daughter and would even go as far as to throw herself in the way of a magic fireball to save her, despite the high chance it could of killed her instead.

She seems to be a take pride as a businesswoman and likes to make sure her tavern is ran properly. She doesn't discriminate agianced any of her customers assuming they behave and seems accepting of Trace and Flora's cross-species relationship.

Trivia

 * Adira is the first confirmed Snow Leopard Keidran to be seen in the comics and one of the only two to make a confirmed appearance at all, the other being her daughter Maeve. However, there is an unnamed backround Keidran on Page 62 of Chapter 4 that bears some resemblance to a Snow Leopard, so Adira and Maeve may be the second and third instead, if this is true.
 * Adira had Maeve at a very young age, around 8 years old, which is very young even for a Keidran. Although Keidran reach maturity about twice as fast as Humans, with age 10 being considered the start of adulthood, it is still quite significant. Comparing Adira and Maeve's current ages to the official age graph shows that Adira would have been around 15-16 in Keidran years when Maeve was born.
 * The identity of Maeve's father has not yet been revealed and she, nor Adira, have ever spoke of him. It can be assumed that he was a Snow Leopard Keidran too as Maeve appears to be pure bred but apart from this nothing is known about him and his current or past relationship with Adira.
