'''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]].

After Lord Palethorn's defeat, Dan and Kiya decided to use the time machine to journey through time. However, the time machine malfunctioned, resulting in their separation. Kiya ended up back in Egypt where she fought against a warlock bent on summoning [[Anubis]] into the world. Once he was defeated, she asked her [[Kiya's High Priest|high priest]] to return her to eternal rest, but not before leaving behind some things for her love to find. | After Lord Palethorn's defeat, Dan and Kiya decided to use the time machine to journey through time.

According to Chapter 10 of | According to Chapter 10 of ''Lifestyles of the Pharaohs'', Kiya came from abject poverty.{{Gameref|MED2}}{{Gameref|MED2|''Lifestyles of the Pharaohs'', [[The Professor's Lab]]}} At the age of 19, she was selected by the [[Ramesses II|Pharaoh Ramesses]] to be one of his 200 wives. Fortunately for her, he was very old and died before he was able to consummate the marriage. Unfortunately, she was selected to "accompany" him on his journey to the [[afterlife]] as his bride through eternity. In 1817, many of Ramesses' possessions, including the contents of Kiya's tomb, were recovered from a tomb at Abu Simbel and brought to Europe, where they were eventually placed in the [[The Museum|Great Museum]].{{Bookref|MED2-Manual}} | ||
=== | ===Resurrection=== | ||
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. She fell out of her sarcophagus and was caught by Daniel as she fell. He then took her to [[The Professor's Lab]] where [[Professor Hamilton Kift]] was able to identify her. | Kiya was saved from her tomb in The Museum by Sir Dan while he was looking for clues in [[Kensington]].

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.

=== | ===Eventual fate=== | ||
There are three conflicting reports about what happened to Kiya after Sir Dan successfully defeated Lord Palethorn: | |||
====Return to eternal rest==== | |||
[[File:MediEvil2-FMV-Outro-SirDanKiyaSleep.png|right|thumb|200px|Dan and Kiya go to sleep.]] Kiya and her boyfriend returned to her reconstructed tomb in the Museum. Once they said their goodbyes to the Professor, they entered her sacrophagus and resumed their eternal sleep together. | |||
====Presumed death==== | |||
[[File:MediEvil2-FMV-CHALLIS-DanKiyaLair.png|left|thumb|200px|Dan and Kiya in Zarok's Lair.]] Dan and Kiya boarded Professor Kift's time machine, travelling back in time. They wound up in Zarok's Lair, where they were immediately attacked by [[Palethorn's Beast Transformation|Palethorn in a beastly form]]. | |||
In truth, the pair had not only travelled back in time, but also to an alternative timeline, where Palethorn had used the spell book to rewrite time and replaced Zarok with himself. Whether they survived or perished at the hands of this Palethorn is unknown. | |||

====Return to Ancient Egypt==== | |||
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.

It was decided pretty earlier on that Dan should have a love interest for the sequel.
