Biography[]
Kierachell accepted a post as caretaker on Schar's World, partly to escape the increasingly bellicose atmosphere on Heibohre, which was in the Idiran sphere of influence by that time.[2] While on Schar's World she became romantically involved with Horza. She was unhappy with his departure.[2]
She was had been on Schar's World for seven years[2] when the Idiran-Culture War reached the planet. Idiran troops arrived in pursuit of a Culture Mind. The Idirans, having endured a 2000 kilometre trek across the icy world's surface after their vessel was attacked by the World's Dra'Azon keeper Mr. Adequate and crashed, and suffering heavy losses due to the crash, elements and lack of supplies, attacked the caretaker camp in desperation. Kierachell was the first Changer to die, being killed by the Idiran section leader Xoxarle by having her neck snapped while asleep in her bedroom. Her body was later laid out in the corridor along with the bodies of the other Changer caretakers by a medjel servant of the Idiran raider party.[1]
