'''Princess Kiya''' ({{circa|1232 B.C.}} – 1213 B.C.) was the 91st and final consort of [[Ramesses II]]. When he died, she was chosen to accompany him into the afterlife. Her [[Tomb of Abu Simbel|tomb]] was eventually recovered and moved to the [[British Museum]] in [[London]]. In [[1886]], she was resurrected when an evil sorcerer known as [[Lord Palethorn]] sought to conquer London. She was eventually freed from her tomb by [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] who she joined in the fight against Palethorn. | '''Princess Kiya''' ({{circa|1232 B.C.}} – 1213 B.C.) was the 91st and final consort of [[Ramesses II]].

Kiya was saved from her tomb in The Museum by Sir Dan while he was looking for clues in [[Kensington]]. When she awakened, she was a little startled to discover that she's dead.

Later, Kiya helped the Professor with building a monster to fight in a match against the [[Iron Slugger]], a boxing robot constructed by the evil Lord Palethorn. The main prize of the match was to be Kiya herself. Daniel managed to win the battle and Kiya thus remained with Dan and the Professor. | Later, Kiya helped the Professor with building a monster to fight in a match against the [[Iron Slugger]], a boxing robot constructed by the evil Lord Palethorn.

When the opportunity presented itself, Kiya insisted on investigating [[Whitechapel]] on her own as she was eager to help. Dan was less than thrilled by the idea however and insisted that she shouldn't go since he thought it was too dangerous for her. Kiya decided to go anyway, and did not return from the mission. The Professor sent Dan to search for her. When Daniel finally found her, he saw [[the Ripper]] attack her and kill her. Saddened and enraged by the sudden turn of events, Daniel found a way to travel back through time and managed to fight Kiya's killer in order to save her. After the Ripper's defeat, Kiya and Dan shared a passionate kiss. Later, after Palethorn himself was defeated, Dan and Kiya were reunited. | When the opportunity presented itself, Kiya insisted on investigating [[Whitechapel]] on her own as she was eager to help.

During their journey through time, Dan and Kiya were separated. With the help of the fairy [[Noreen]], Dan got to see Kiya one last time in her tomb. Kiya left behind a letter for Dan where she detailed her fight against a warlock bent on summoning [[Anubis]] to the mortal world. She also left Dan a gift in the form of [[The Eye of Amon Ra]]. | During their journey through time, Dan and Kiya were separated.

From Kift's descriptions of her, she was also a bit slow on catching up. She was very respectful towards Dan, calling him a great warrior after he rescued her. She was also eager to explore the world as she stated that she didn't want to stay imprisoned. | ||

Kiya acts as a supporting character throughout the majority of ''[[MediEvil 2]]''. She is generally used to drive the plot forward without directly figuring into the gameplay until the boxing level, [[Iron Slugger]], where Kiya serves as the [[wikipedia:ring girl|ring girl]]. | |||
Near the end of the game, in [[The Time Machine, the Ripper]] level, it is Sir Dan's objective to kill The Ripper while making sure that The Ripper doesn't kill Kiya. To that end, Sir Dan needs to heal her using the [[Good Lightning]]. Kiya has a total of 150 HP. At various points during the battle, The Ripper will grab her and start draining her life energy with his Lightning power, draining 16 HP five times for a total of 80 HP if left uninterrupted. Meanwhile, Dan's Good Lightning will restore 5 HP each time it zaps Kiya while draining him of 48 HP. Dan can heal Kiya even while his life has been freshly restored from a [[Life Bottle]], where he gets a brief moment of invincibility. This makes it the ideal time to heal her as his health will not be drained. | |||
