CR: a tl;dr that will be necessary to understand the AU's: kiera was raised from birth by their home nation of castilla to infiltrate and manipulate the aurelius family, but grew to genuinely love cyrus and luca, and thus turned their back on their birth parents and nation. cyrus was killed in an assassination attempt on luca's life, which was orchestrated in part by the nations of castilla and cataega, as well as augustus caelius of renova. all of this led to luca's bitterness, kiera's detachment, and the siblings' estrangement.
Plans: so for AU's, i have two different Things i wanna do potentially: 1. [good end.] cyrus never took the dagger that was meant for luca, so the siblings never lost their dad. renova was more privvy to the other nations' plotting, so international relations are rockier, thus kiera is a bit more proactive in the military. but on the whole, they're far better adjusted with their family still intact.
2. [bad end.]kiran infiltrated the aurelius family how it was originally intended, and remained loyal to their mother, the castillan empress. they actively helped to orchestrate the intentional assassination of cyrus and managed to pin all, not just part, of the blame on augustus. because the murder was "solved" so readily, luca took up the aurelius council chair, and kiera continues to manipulate him in castilla's favor.
(please note in this AU that they go by kiran and use he/they/she pronouns, and to not consider this deadnaming or misgendering, as their name and pronouns are, in their canon, determined by their own choices around certain life events.)
big note for Bad End™: kiran is PLENTY willing to drink blood/drain emotion/use vampiric hypnosis on people, so feel free to sign the fuck up if you wanna get drankt!
