It was then that the Shade Tyrann fused with her, allowing her to live and causing Kainé's deep hatred of Shades. Kali died in the incident and Kainé was left mutilated. One day when returning home, she encountered the shade Hook, who was attacking Kali's house and had her pinned down, sadistically enjoying Kainé's despair. She held both love and respect for her grandmother who accepted her and treated her as a woman. The only person that showed her kindness and protected her was her equally foul-mouthed grandmother Kali, with whom Kainé lived her childhood and inherited her attitude from. Though she is secretly glad to have Nier's company, she has already learned to survive on her own due to her grandmother who she loved dearly, her skill with twin swords, and her ability to wield magic.

She has grown accustomed to being alone, and her veneer of shyness is easily shattered by sudden outbursts and irrational displays of violent anger. As a response to the harassment she received in her childhood for being intersex, she took a liking to clothes that emphasize feminine characteristics. This hybrid form has left her to live as an outcast, unwelcome in villages and befriended by few. Her left arm and left leg, which she keeps under bandage-like coverings, are those of a Shade.


Originally born in The Aerie, Kainé is a coarse individual who suffers from being only half human.
