Biography
Tira's story remains the same as it does in the Soulcalibur Canon Up until the points added below:

As his journey to destroy Soul Edge and to find a cure for his curse lagged on, Draco found another reason to destroy Soul Edge, he met a girl named Tira. Draco knew Tira was a servant of Soul Edge, but even though her mind and memories were corrupted by the evil sword, Draco slowly fell in love with her as he saw a side of her no one else could. Even though she claimed to enjoy taking the lives of others, Draco could see she was just misguided, much like he once was.

At first, Tira was deceiving Draco, she claimed if they traveled together, he would meet Nightmare again, but this was only because Soul Edge had marked him to be it’s new host, and she enjoyed the countless murders Night Dragon committed by night, but as she traveled alongside him, she did begin to develop feelings for Draco’s true personality. As their travels continued, the two became closer. At this point, Draco not only sought to free himself from Soul Edge but Tira as well. It eventually came to the point that Tira’s freedom became even more important to him than his own.

Draco’s quest to save Drake, Tira, and his own soul from Soul Edge’s corruption led him to the final showdown for the two legendary swords. After a long-fought battle with his evil alter-ego, Night Dragon, Soul Calibur and Soul Edge were finally in his grasp. Upon obtaining the two legendary swords, Draco merged them together to form Broken Destiny which cleansed the world of the Evil Seed. Now endowed with the Soul Swords' powers, Draco had even surpassed the power of his ancestor, the Hero King, Algol.

Now that Broken Destiny was under Draco’s control, his journey was finally over, but not without sacrifice as Tira had given her life to protect him and now that she was gone, victory seemed empty. Before heading home to Drachenburg, Draco held his beloved’s body in his arms and kissed her one last time. As his tears touched her skin, the two were surrounded by an aura of fire. When the flames cleared, Tira was revived as a Ryugami and all of her lost memories had returned.

Draco smiled for the first time in years as he heard Tira's words. “Draco... you did it!”

Draco and Tira then transformed into their dragon forms and flew home to the Drachenburg Kingdom triumphant. Upon his return to Drachenburg, Draco was reunited with his brother, Drake as well as his sister, Leonie and his mother, Catherine. With the Williams family finally reunited, the Drachenburg Kingdom was brought into a new age of peace as Draco took his rightful place on the throne. Now that his long quest had come to an end, Draco married Tira and she bore him three children; Draga, Tela and Timat. Now with a family of his own, Draco settled down in Drachenburg Castle where he would rule over the Drachenburg Kingdom with Tira by his side.

Ryugami Reference
Race: Ryugami

Status: The Ryugami still exist in the present-day world secretly hidden amongst the human race.

Rulers: Draco and Tira Williams

Place of Origin: Varies, but most hail Europe or Asia.

Life Span: A Ryugami’s aging process ceases at the age of 18 due to the fusion of a dragon’s heart with a human body. They do not succumb to natural death although they can die if their weaknesses are exploited.

Description: Ryugami are created when a dragon (which is usually near the end of it’s life) implants it’s heart in a lifeless human vessel or when a Ryugami marks someone as their ‘soul mate’. The chosen one is reborn possessing the blood and power of a dragon. Ryugami are also born provided, of course, that at least one of the parents is already a Ryugami.

Traits:


 * Dragon Heart - Endows a Ryugami with the ability to harness the powers of Earth, Wind, Fire, Ice, and Lightning.


 * Dragon Blood - Endows a Ryugami with sharper reflexes, inhuman strength and stamina as well as corrosive lava-like blood and the ability to heal wounds within minutes.


 * Immortality - Endows a Ryugami with eternal youth and life.


 * Reincarnation - Allows a Ryugami to be reborn sometime after an unnatural death. (amount of time taken for reincarnation to take effect varies, but all the memories and powers of the previous incarnation start to return upon the new incarnation reaching age 18)

Special Ability: Dragon Transformation - Endows a Ryugami with the ability to release the power of the dragon’s blood within them and transform into a massive dragon who’s appearance is based on the particular Ryugami.

Strengths: Ryugami are capable of taking extreme amounts of damage and still continue to fight. Their power also increases with each battle as long as the Ryugami survives.

Weaknesses: Although Ryugami are immortal, they can be killed by decapitation or by being stabbed in the heart by sacred dragon-slaying weaponry.
