Story: SCIII
There was an underground organization called the Birds of Passage that lived in the shadows of history. they formed contracts with the powerful and sent out assassins to eliminate their enemies. Tira was an assassin raised by this organization. The act of killing had become so routine in her life that she had to kill just for the stimulation it provided. When the evil seed rained down, Tira was in the middle of a mission. The chain of command collapsed, and suddenly Tira was set free from this underground world.

She has since forgotten where she was when this event transpired. For a while she was taken in by a simple family in an ordinary village. This did not last long, however, and a simple even caused her to murder the entire family. She then began her wandering lifestyle, killing those that crossed her path. Her emotions grew more intense to where the slightest trigger could cause her to become depressed or manic.

One day she came across information about Nightmare and her heart leapt at the thought of finding someone like herself. Following the trail of slaughter, she tracked down the Azure Knight. "Finally, someone to whom I can give myself entirely..." she thought. Now a faithful servant, she works behind the scenes. Controlling a flock of ravens, she has been given two missions. Her first task is to destroy the evil sword and free the evil sword. Her second task is to locate a new host for the cursed sword. Those who meet her approval shall surely have their souls burned by the flame of the cursed sword. Those who do nor, Tira will surely take their lives to bring joy to her own...

Ending: SCIII
Tira enter's Sophitia's house in search of her kids, trying to find a new host for Soul Edge. She walk's down the hall, holding Soul Edge. If you fail to press the correct buttons Tira enter's the kids room. They ask her name, then ask what she's holding. "Do you like it? I'm glad!" and the screen fades. If you press 'right' Tira enter's a different room, and is ambushed by Cassandra and Sophitia. She escapes through the window. The scene shifts to her in the woods, mulling things over. Then, Soul Edge starts to glow, and possesses her. She turn's purple, and her eyes start to glow.

Story: SCIV
When the two swords clashed, Tira had already arrived at the Lost Cathedral and was waiting before the gate. Having been turned to evil, she was affected strongly by the destruction unleashed by the meeting of the swords. Tira's mind was torn apart, shattered into countless shards. But her consciousness clawed itself together again. In the end, she became two people, her mind reformed into two separate entities that represented the extremes of the original, unstable Tira.

Upon her return to Ostrheinsburg, Tira began processing the information that her watchers carried to her, that she might hand Soul Edge, her king and master, the advantage in the battle that was to come. She would use the habitants of the cursed city to wear down the power of the sprit sword, and when at last they fought, the cursed sword would turn Ostrheinsburg into a giant vessel and every soul within that place would be caught within it's maw, including the Spirit Sword. She knew that then her king would win.

And at that moment, Tira, too, would become a part of Soul Edge. A feeling she had never felt before swelled in her, but she - both of her - did not understand it. "Soul Edge will consume everything! Yes, everything! Everything I am is devoted to the service of my king." A tiny glimmer of fear sparked in the chink between her two personalities, but it was forced down below the surface of her consciousness. It would not emerge again.

Ending: SCIV
Nightmare is sitting on his throne and Tira enters and kneels. Nightmare begins to shake and the sword glows. Tira realizes that his body can't withstand the power of Soul Edge any more. Tira begins to panic. Her happy self is afraid of being alone, and her angry self is annoyed that their plans are failing. The screen turns black and when it fades back in, Tira is holding the glowing essence of Soul Edge. "The cursed sword now lays dormant. When it wakes, the world will be covered in flames."
