Well, the primary reason Manans even exist in the first place is because of a boy named Wolfgang, who is more commonly known as "Starky".

Here's his picture. Both the Manan and Dragon are the same guy, though the Manan is the original Wolfgang, while the Dragon is Wolfgang's character, named "Starky", which is why he adopts the name "Starky" after becoming a Starmaninjian. (The name "Wolfgang" becomes the last name of the Ratzu family that Kiara created who would eventually be the mother's side of family for the titular Kao and Starky)

Wolfgang's backstory is quite depressing, but has a light at the end of it. Shortly after he was born, his mother, who has a personality very similar to Kiara, died in an accident when she left to do an extreme sport of some kind. She was doing so mostly to benefit a movement and raise money to help a nearby village, who her husband helped protect. Wolfgang's father didn't really know how to tell his very young son that his mother wasn't coming home (loosely based on that level in Elite Beat agents, if you look it up, you'll know the one). So for the longest time, Wolfgang believed his mother was still out entertaining.

Unfortunately, Wolfgang's father met his demise shortly after. The mayor of the village that Wolfgang lived in was a very corrupt man and wanted to demolish the Native American village nearby to expand his land and influence. In a stand off, Wolfgang's father was shot and killed by the Mayor, who then covered it up and made it sound like the natives killed him (keep this note in mind). Wolfgang knew the natives wouldn't have done so, but being a powerless child, he ran away from the now angry village and decided to live with one of the Natives, who's name coincedently was "Kao" as well.

Wolfgang spent many years with the wolves in the nearby forest, who quickly befriended him and human Kao, but fast forward a few years and the mayor and a scientist were both hunting in the forest recreationally. They came across the wolves and wanted to shoot them just to get rid of them. The Scientist didn't want to kill them initially, but when one of the wolves, Kiara, realized what was going on, she dashed up and attempted to fight off the hunters. The Mayor out of anger took out a knife and slashed her up along the body (hence her chest his red). This didn't kill her immediately, but out of shock, the Scientist shot the other wolf, Siberia, right in the forehead (which is why all Starmaninjians have that huge forehead hair. She grew it that way to protece thier foreheads and to cover up the bullet wound formed.

Wolfgang found out the hunters killed the wolves a day later when they started rallying to kill all the wolves in the forest, citing them as dangerous and ruthless. Wolfgang, freaking out, dashed into the forest and called out the Mayor and scientist for going way too far (as he knew the Mayor killed his father using the same strategy). The Mayor got so frustrated, he shot Wolfgang and killed him too, which lead to the Scientist going back to town and telling teh truth to what the mayor did with proof. This movement managed to get the Mayor arrested, but with the entire family of wolves dead as well as Wolfgang's family, they eventually ascended to Starmaninja.

Now one thing abot Wolfgang is that much like me IRL, he was an artist, and the art style he drew happens to be the general way the Starmaninjians would end up looking. He also got to name the world "Starmaninja" after his, and Kao's favorite themes, Space and Ninjas. and as a tribute to giving his life to protect the grave of Siberia and Kiara, Wolfgang, who changed his name to Starky, was recreated as his own creation, which lead to the existence of the Manan, which translates to "Good human".

Now as for why Kiara has a Manan form (as well as Starmaninjian Kao). This is because as another gift, Kiara manipulated the Starmaninjian line so that Kao and Starky would now be brothers and Human Kao, who eventually became a Starmaninjian after his village was burned to the ground, gave birth to what would eventually be the modern heroes, Kao and Starky, the young Kao being the Ratzu body that would eventually house the soul of Kiara and Siberia's father (who died a few years before due to a trap set during a harsh winter). However, to prepare teh young Starmaninjian Kao for his Ratzu soul, Kiara had to disguise herself as Manan Kia so she could be a guide to him without forcing him to be who he would inevitably become.

After all, at this point, the Starmaninjian story is about Kao Ninjaratzu, the father of Siberia and Kiara, coming to terms with the fact that the Starmaninjian universe will be a place where his daughters can forever be safe, as well as his wife. So the story revolves around Kiara and Siberia using thier newly formed Starmaninjian genetics to create the perfect body for thier father, as well as recreate him to acknoweldge his deity powers as well.

WHEW! Lots of backstory.
