Biography[]
Kyra was a demon and a seer who had several encounters with the Charmed Ones. She ultimately desired to be human and coveted a human soul. Spending time at Halliwell Manor, Kyra bonded with Phoebe Halliwell. Together the two saw a vision of the future wherein reality seemed to be a virtual utopia.
An upper-level demon named Zankou, having only recently escaped from banishment, assumed the form of Phoebe Halliwell and entered the mansion. Aware that Kyra intended on revealing sensitive information about demon-kind in exchange for being turned into a human, he unleashed waves of energy upon her until she caught fire. Kyra was reduced to nothing but a pile of ash within seconds. [1]
