Physical Appearance
Kesira is a 34-year-old Caucasian woman standing at 167 cm. (5'6") with a slim, petite figure. She has fair skin, dark-brown hair, and brown eyes. Her eyebrows are thick and defined, and she possesses a "celestial nose" that slopes downward. Kesira's hair – which is mostly worn down and either styled straight or wavy – is parted from the centre of her scalp, and reaches her shoulder. She has plump lips and an oval-shaped face.

Her usual attire consists of comfortable and practical clothing over more stylish and fashionable ones, so Kesira can usually be spotted in a pair of faded blue jeans, a plain black shirt, a faux leather jacket, and ankle-length boots with straps.

Early Life
Kesira Mairbekovna Vakhaeva(Russian: Кесира Майрбековна Вахаева) was born in the small town of Gordala, Russia, to parents Mairbek and Kheda Vakhaev. Her parents – both ethnic Chechens of the Gordaloy (Chechen: ГӀордалой ; Russian: Гордалой ) teip (clan) of the Nokhchmakhkakhoy (Chechen: Нохчмахкахой ) tukkhum – were born in Kazakhstan due to the 1944 deportations of the Chechen and Ingush people (Aardakh). The two were married in Kyzylorda before returning to their ancestral village of Gordala to reconnect with their Chechen roots. Kesira is the first of the couple's children before younger brothers Zelimkhan and Mokhmad. Her family follows Shafi'i Sunni Islam.

Born in the countryside, Kesira was raised truly Chechen in Gordala without the influence of urban life or modern technology. Her parents wanted their children to be strongly tied to their Chechen heritage; thus, Kesira learned the Chechen language, traditional songs and dances, and cooking recipes. Her father even hired a local craftsman to create a dechig pondar (a traditional Chechen instrument) just for her so she could learn to play, despite manufacturers of the instrument being scarce. Mairbek firmly believed that Kesira and her siblings would be the generation to revive and renew the Chechen culture that had been oppressed for so long by the Russians. Kesira was also taught several survival skills and basic medical procedures, as the First Chechen War of Grozny had just concluded several years before (her parents wanted to make sure she'd be able to defend herself if needed).

Because the Second Chechen War began one year after Kesira's birth, the family was forced to move to the city of Grozny, the Chechen capital, for Mairbek's career as a politician and military strategist. Though Kheda firmly wanted to stay in the countryside away from the war, Mairbek promised to educate Kesira and her brothers when he could (all the schools were either destroyed or closed), stating that they would greatly benefit from it. Kesira initially had a difficult time adjusting to city life, but she managed to familiarise herself after awhile. Mairbek thus began teaching Kesira to read both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets as well as some mathematics, language, and history. As the war progressed, Mairbek became more involved in with the military and was forced to spend weeks apart from his family. Thus, Kesira, her mother, and her brothers were trapped in their apartment for days on end without running water, electricity, or power. In their only bedroom, Kesira would browse through her father's old collection of Chechen literature and several novels by her uncle, Elmurza, thus sparking her interest in writing. Through these stories, Kesira educated herself on Chechen history and the Aardakh (deportations) while collecting bits and pieces of ongoing issues through her father and his men.

Though the war pressed on for years, Kesira never quite grew accustomed to the constant gunshots and detonation of bombs throughout the city. The use of advancements for war and weaponry sickened Kesira, and she began developing a dislike for most modern technology as a teenager. Without any supplements, Kesira would, against her mother's wishes, sneak out of their apartment through the building's fire escape to dash to the nearby grocery market (which was lacking in produce, but still had some bottled water and packaged food). Because Kesira was irrationally afraid of the sound of gunshots, she would bring her older brother, Zelimkhan, with her as means of comfort and reassurance.

Alistair Krei
"'Oh, I know quite well how you businessmen think. And I can tell you're the type of person who's willing to cheat and cut through corners to get what you want. Don't worry, though, I've met many others who do the same. You're not all that unique.'""― Kesira to Alistair"TBA

Baymax
"'You claim he [Baymax] is benevolent, caring, and compassionate, but he is nothing but code and programming. His alleged 'personality' is just what he was designed to do by humans. He is a machine; he – or should I say it – cannot feel for himself. If I were to, say, remove its wonderful green chip, your robot would be an entirely different being – am I not correct?'""― Kesira about Baymax (to Hiro)"TBA

Mairbekovna
The patronymic name, Mairbekovna, is from the name of Kesira's father, Mairbek, with the Russian suffix -ovna (-овна) denoting a daughter (-ovich or -ович is used for males). The name Mairbek, in turn, is from the Chechen word майра (mayra) meaning "husband" or "brave" combined with a Turkish title (beg) meaning "chieftain, master".

Vakhaeva
Her familia (фамилия; literally "surname" or "last name" ), Vakhaeva (Вахаева), is the feminine form of Vakhaev (Вахаев), in accordance to Russian family name customs – surnames of females end in -ova or -eva. The family name comes from the Chechen personal name Vakha (Ваха), which in turn is from the Nakh word vakha meaning "to live".
