Biography
Kiana was bon on the 10th of December, 2265 to Jo Anne Dimaguba and Cesar Santos. She was born in Mindanao, the 5th largest island of the Malayan Coalition and the southernmost of the Philippine Islands. Her mother was a worker on an industrial aquaponics farm, and her father was a fairly prominent an attorney-at-law.

Shortly after Kiana was born, Jo Anne terminated their marriage on the grounds of domestic abuse and infidelity. Santos was found guilty of both, and was sentenced to a decade in prison. Kiana, fortunately, was still too young to remember what happened.

On December 13th, 2270, only a few days after Kiana's 5th birthday, the Kilauea supervolcano erupted in its largest and most violent recorded eruption, resulting in a volcanic winter that would induce crop failures worldwide. Faced with the possible loss of their livelihood, Jo Anne made the difficult decision to volunteer to be among the first wave of colonists to the Federation of Man's then newest colony, Datu. And so, on the 15th of February, 2271, Jo Anne, along with her young daughter, left Earth behind to start a new life on Datu. Fortunately for the two, Jo Anne's expertise in aquaponics farming was much more valuable on Datu than it was on Earth.

Abilities
Telepathy - Kiana was born a telepath, meaning that she can opt to speak with her mind rather than her mouth, and she can influence people to some degree, which she usually only uses to win arguments.

Telekinesis - Despite it being thought impossible for both telepathic and telekinetic powers to manifest in the same individual, Kiana has recently manifested telltale signs of telekinesis.
