Kiara is a Krootabulon warrior priestess who briefly dates Jerry Smith in the Rick and Morty Season 3 episode, “The ABC’s of Beth”. Voiced by Jennifer Hale, she is introduced as Jerry’s rebound girlfriend following his divorce from Beth.

The cosmic winds of Krootabulon had prepared Kiara for many things—blood feuds, ancient rites, and the heavy mantle of a warrior priestess. They had not, however, prepared her for the sheer, staggering patheticness of an Earthman named Jerry Smith.

Fresh off a bruising divorce from Beth, Jerry was adrift in a sea of his own insecurity. Enter Kiara. Fierce, imposing, and voiced with commanding gravitas, she was the ultimate rebound. For a fleeting moment, their lives merged in a sacred “soul bond.” It was an intense cosmic connection that yielded two immediate, bizarre results: it granted Jerry temporary telekinetic powers, and it made his otherwise tragic apartment miraculously, unusually clean.

But the winds of romance are fickle, and Jerry soon found himself suffocating under the weight of a warrior’s affection. He wanted out. Lacking the spine to break things off honestly, Jerry resorted to classic cowardice. He didn’t tell Kiara he wanted to leave; instead, he tearfully claimed that his children, Morty and Summer, were forcing them apart due to their deeply held, racist views against Krootabulonians.

Jerry’s lie backfired with catastrophic velocity. As a warrior priestess, Kiara didn’t cry—she hunted. Enraged by the alleged bigotry of the Earth teenagers, she immediately set out to track down and eliminate Morty and Summer to avenge her honor.

With his children’s lives on the line, Jerry’s guilt finally overtook his fear. In a desperate, trembling confession, he admitted the truth: the kids weren’t racist; he was just too afraid to break up with her.

But the universe favors irony. As Jerry braced for her wrath, Kiara’s fierce facade cracked into a smirk. She wasn’t heartbroken. In a stinging twist, she revealed that she had never actually cared for Jerry either. She had simply been using the weak-willed human as a pawn to make her muscular alien ex-boyfriend, Trandor, jealous.

The saga, however, required one final, definitive Earth-style resolution. Determined to reclaim his honor, Trandor later traveled across the galaxy to Earth, fully intending to murder Jerry. He never got the chance. Rick Sanchez, operating with his usual cold efficiency, preemptively killed the alien ex-boyfriend before he could even find Jerry. And in the ultimate cosmic insult to the Smith family patriarch, Rick promptly took Trandor’s place, spending the rest of the night with the warrior priestess himself.
