Get the kiasjah mug.Kiasha is usually someone who is very funny. Her eyes are the most beautiful things, but beware of her death stare. Her hair is always silky and she has a great personality. She is strong and capable of handling herself, she can show a kindness you can't imagine and is that little bit wild. She is naturally good with animals and understanding people. She always makes jokes and lightens the mood. But she is free spirited and hard to catch! Just like the wind, she blow into your life and sweep you off your feet then be gone in an instant. She's loyal and protects her friends and those around her.
