'''Princess Kiya''' ( [[File:KiyaHiero.png|55px|link=|alt=]] ) is a major protagonist and [[Dan]]'s love interest in ''[[MediEvil 2]]''.

Line 24:

During the Dankenstein level, Kiya helps the professor build a monster to fight in a match against the [[Iron Slugger]]. The main prize of the match was to be Kiya herself. Daniel manages to win the battle and she remains with Dan and the professor.

Later in the game, she insists on investigating [[Whitechapel]], but Dan tells her not to since he thought it was too dangerous for her. Kiya decides to go anyway, and doesn't return. The professor sends Dan to search for her. When Daniel finally finds her, he sees [[Jack the Ripper]] attack her and kill her. Saddened and enraged by the sudden turn of events, Daniel finds a way to travel back through time and manages to fight the killer in order to save her. After Jack's defeat, Kiya and Dan share a passionate kiss. ~~Kiya doesn't appear from this point on until the end of the game. What happens to her and Dan depends on the amount of chalices collected by the player.~~

===''[[MediEvil: Fate's Arrow]]''===

*If the player collects all chalices, Dan and Kiya ~~travel (presumably back) in time using~~ the ~~time machine~~. ~~They end up in a place similar to Zarok~~'~~s Lair and are soon confronted by a creature, similar to Zarok~~'s ~~monstrous form seen in~~ ''~~MediEvil'', only this~~ time, ~~it's Palethorn~~.

During their journey through time, Dan and Kiya are separated. With the help of the fairy [[Noreen]], Dan gets to see Kiya one last time in her tomb. Kiya left behind a letter for Dan where she details her fight against a warlock bent on summoning [[Anubis]] to the mortal world. She also leaves Dan a gift in the form of an eye prosthetic.

==Characteristics==

*If the ~~player fails to collect all~~ the ~~chalices~~, Dan ~~and Kiya return~~ to Kiya's tomb, where ~~they enter~~ her ~~sarcophagus together and die~~.

=== Appearance ===

== Appearance ==

Kiya is a blue mummy with long black hair and green eyes. She has bright red lips and dark grey eyeshadow. Her chest, arms, hands and bottom torso is wrapped in bandages, and in artworks and some in-game models show she has bandages on her lower legs and presumably, her feet. She wears brown boots as well as a red navel gem, a gold tiara/headband and matching necklace, and triangular earrings which are obscured by her hair.

During the Iron Slugger fight, she wears bright red shorts over her bandaged area.

== Personality ==

=== Personality ===

~~===''[[MediEvil 2]]''~~===

Kiya is described as being soft and slowly spoken, enunciating every word as if she was delighted for being able to speak after many years. From what Kift describes her, she is also a bit slow on catching up. She is very respectful towards Dan, calling him a great warrior after he rescued her. She is also eager to explore the world as she states that she does not want to stay imprisoned.

===Abilities===

==Non-MediEvil appearances==

Kiya is knowledgeable in embalming, which helps her and the Professor create [[Dankenstein]]. Kiya has also learnt to cross-stitch after returning to her own time.{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}}

[[File:KiyaMinion.png|left|50px]] Princess Kiya appears as one of the unlockable [[w:c:playstationallstars:Minion|minions]] in '''PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale'''. She is unlocked after reaching Rank 8 with [[w:c:playstationallstars:Sir Daniel Fortesque|Sir Daniel]].

==Development==

===''MediEvil 2''===

Kiya was originally named Dawn, as in ''{{w|Dawn of the Dead}}''.<ref>{{cite web|quote=

It was decided pretty earlier on that Dan should have a love interest for the sequel. She came in the form of a mummified Egyptian princess - 'Dawn' as in 'Dawn of the dead' - ha ha - what a joke (not mine I must add)! I thought it would have been funny and naughty if Dan had had a love scene with Dawn and he pull a loose bandages and all her 'clothes' unravel. ;)|author=[[Jason Wilson]]|site=atomic-city|title=''MediEvil 2'' concept design|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20080217172118/http://www.atomic-city.co.uk/pages/artwork/Medievil2_gallery/med2_dawn.htm}} Archived at the [http://archive.org/web/ Wayback Machine Internet Archive].</ref> Her final name is most likely based on [[wikipedia:Kiya|Kiya, one of the wives of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten]].

===''[[Fate's Arrow (2003)]]''===

In the 2003 ''MediEvil 3 Fate's Arrow'' concept pitch, Kiya was going to be revealed as the evil sorceress Kiyante, Queen of the Withering Sun. She would have aligned herself with [[Zarok]], giving him the [[Anubis Stone]].

**In that same quote, it was also planned to have Dan remove a loose bandage and strip her of her clothing.

*Her final name was most likely based on [[wikipedia:Kiya|Kiya, one of the wives of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten]].

*In artworks, Kiya is shown holding a dagger/knife with her. She strangely does not have it in the game.

*According to the professor, she is knowledgeable in embalming, which helps her and the professor create [~~[Dankenstein~~]].

==Notes==

*In the 2003 ''[[MediEvil 3]] ~~[[Fate~~'s ~~Arrow (2003)|Fate~~'s ~~Arrow]]'' concept pitch, Kiya was to be revealed as the evil sorceress [[Kiyante]]~~.

{{Note|a|[a]}} Kiya's age is given as 19 on [[MediEvil 2|''MediEvil 2'']]'s official website. Subtracting her age from the year of the Pharaoh's death gives us her approximate date of birth.
