Background
Kira is 26 years old, and was born and raised in Sydney. She has no siblings, and her parents died when they were caught in the middle of a bank robbery when she was 10 years old. Her Grandmother - her only surviving relative at the time - raised her from then on, but she died when Kira was 22, leaving Kira with no family. Having always had an interest in spiders, she grew up to become an arachnologist (person who studies spiders). Her profession calls for little socializing, and Kira hasn't ever been one to go out and meet people, so she has no friends. She knows plenty of people, but nobody she would really class as a real friend.
During the time of the Energy X landfall, she was in the outback photographing some of the spiders she was studying, but it was some time later she discovered she had been affected by the energy. While she was changing a tire on her jeep, the vehicle moved at the same moment she lost her footing, and she found herself under it. Without thinking, she pushed it off of herself. It was only after she had gotten to her feet and brushed herself off that the true impact of what had just happened struck her. At first she was just shocked, but gradually - as she noticed her sharper reflexes and improved strength more and more - she began to become frightened, unsure of what was happening to her, and afraid of what it could mean. Soon after she had discovered her new powers, she witnessed a crime in process, and used her new-found abilities to prevent it. It was then that she began to become less afraid of her new powers, realizing she could use them for something wonderful; fighting crime. So she designed some web shooters and a costume for herself, gave herself the name of Atrax, and spent what time she didn't devote to her arachnology bringing bad guys to justice. When she heard the cry for help from Patriot City, she knew this was her chance to make a difference in the world - and, perhaps, find peace for herself after the unfortunate way in which her parents died - and was eager to answer the call.
