Malia/Kira is the femslash pairing of Malia Tate and Kira Yukimura of the television show Teen Wolf. Its portmanteau name is Malira.

Canon

Kira and Malia first met in Season 3 when Kira, who was carrying Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski's backpacks to return them to the locker room when Malia, still in full-coyote form and scenting Malia's deceased sister Kylie's baby doll in Stiles' bag, broke into the school and started to chase her to get the doll back. Believing Malia to simply be a rabid coyote, Kira ran as fast as she could away from Malia until Scott scared her away. However, the two did not officially meet until the season finale, when Kira and Lydia saw Malia taking a tour of Beacon Hills High School while standing together at their lockers. Malia joined the McCall Pack shortly afterward, giving Kira and Malia the opportunity to begin a genuine friendship that only became closer as time went on.[1]
