The origins of Kira
Kira joined the community during the second generation of Secret Service in 2021, where she quickly rose through the ranks and attained staff status before its closure. Her loyalty to the army brought her back for its fourth generation in July 2024, and her dedication didn’t waver after Secret Service merged with the Doritos of Club Penguin.
After the merger, Kira joined as a Third-in-Command and quickly climbed the ranks. As a result of her efforts, she won ‘Best High Command’ at the Enchanted Winter Realms: 2024 Awards. Shortly after DCP’s anniversary event, she was promoted to leader on February 8, 2025, marking a major turning point. Together with Aisha, JoelFreak, and Bscharbach, she led DCP to a third-place finish in the March Madness X tournament, reaching maxes of 60. Eventually, following their departures, most notably Aisha’s, Kira took over as the sole leader, consistently maintaining strong maxes and staying active with her troops.

KIRA’S DEPARTURE AND BSCHAR’S RETURN
After nearly four months of leadership following the army’s victory in the Around the World Cup II in a battle against the Void Troops, Kira unexpectedly announced her departure from leadership with a tearful farewell announcement to the army.

Following her resignation, DCP swiftly announced the return of former leader and DCP Legend Bscharbach2, quickly sparking new hope among troops and staff alike. Bscharbach has had a lasting impact on the community, having joined in 2017 and served in notable armies such as the Rebel Penguin Federation, the Templars, and the Army of Club Penguin. He originally became DCP leader alongside Kira in February and remained in the position until his quiet retirement in May. Now, his return marks the beginning of a new era for the army and has once again reignited optimism within the DCP ranks.

Meanwhile, Kira’s sudden departure left not only the Doritos confused but also the wider community concerned about her and the future of her army career. However, just a few hours later, this question was answered when she officially joined the Void Troops as leader alongside Logical and Kyle104.

RISE OF A NEW DORITOS ERA
Only a few days later, Bscharbach announced new additions to the DCP leadership team, inducting Yoni and Megha as the army’s newest leaders. However, just a few hours later, Yoni unexpectedly resigned, leaving Bschar and Megha as the sole leaders. Despite the sudden shift, their leadership marked a new beacon of hope for the Doritos.

Club Penguin Armies reached out to Kira to further investigate the reasons behind her sudden departure and her hopes for Void Troops.
What was the reason behind your resignation?
Well, the obvious answer is that I was made aware of the plot to coup me right before a tournament battle however, this has been building up for quite a duration of time. From consistent pushback and harassment of DCP legends and advisors from behind the scenes to so many of the injustices that I sat down and faced throughout my brief leadership, the coup was truly just the straw that broke the camel’s back
What kind of impact do you believe your retirement will have on the Doritos of Club Penguin?
Well, seeing how things have gone into shambles no less than 48 hours upon my stepping down, I’m gonna say quite a large impact on the army, the troops, and especially seeing the ‘major’ changes they made in less than an hour following my departure
Looking ahead, what do you hope to accomplish in Void Troops as a leader?
The main thing i plan to do in void troops is truly just have fun with the people in the community, i realized when i was in dcp that no other army forces their leadership to work as hard as i was working to keep things afloat. as leader although i do want to do impactful things in vt the main goal is to have a chill peaceful environment and not have to endure the stresses me or any of the former dcp individuals had to endure while being enlisted there.
If you could go back, what advice would you give your past self before taking on the role of leader?
Don’t let people push you around. if you see something you do not agree with, speak up, no matter the consequences or the backlash you may face for doing so, because at the end of the day, it is YOUR army not anyone elses to lead
Club Penguin Armies additionally reached out to Bscharbach, who politely declined the interview.
As the Doritos go through a time of uncertainty, it is clear that Kira’s decision to step down and pursue other things has had a major impact on the community. Meanwhile, with Bschars’ return and with new leadership inductions, things are certainly shaking up within the Doritos. What do you think of Kira’s retirement and induction elsewhere? How will this affect the Doritos going forward?
