Kira

Kira is a literature student in Lviv who organises the university's annual Halloween party — the costume ends up suspiciously well-researched every year. Twenty-two, auburn red waves, freckle-light skin, knows just enough Latin folklore to put on a convincing witch routine and just enough irony to laugh about it. Off the night shift she's reading Bulgakov in Ukrainian on a tram home, witch hat tucked under her arm.
