Biography:
Born in Vöcklabruck, Austria, to a Japanese ex-veteran father and an Austrian scientist-mother, Kaida lived a childhood training to be her father’s dream – a warrior of the Apocalypse. Between drills with many martial arts weapons and forced courses of chemistry and physics, Kaida never really developed a sense of self. Her instruction focused on chemical and flame tactics, Japanese martial arts, the math and science behind both, and Taoist/New Age culture. She was isolated from the rest of the war-torn world, made to move often due to “the War” until she was 17. Then, the effects of the Calamity caught up with her family. A man, a thief, tried to rob a soldier of the False Prophet who had come to reclaim Salzburg Castle. In response, dark shapes carried through the town with black fires. Kaida, an insomniac, saw the figures. She slipped out with her twin hook swords, Frey and Freya, and slipped out, eager to test her abilities. Unaware, she was caught by a vagabond and raped. Though terrible, it was worse seeing black flames engulf her home…to hear her mother wake up screaming. Kadia blacked out, and woke to a half-destroyed town, an orphan with but two swords to her name. So, she set out.
For 4 years, Kadia lived wildly. She didn’t really know who she was, but she loved sex, gambling, and fighting. She worked with a gang, learning to patch them up when they got hurt. She was a wild flame who gave her all into the gang. She was an asset to a group of “normal humans” as she began exhibiting telekinetic powers and the ability to sense and deflect energies around her, though this rubbed some members the wrong way. Sadly, this, the prime of her life – her new family – did not care much for her. Her energy and enthusiasm, her help and creative strategies, even her body were tools for them. When she reached 21, her gang abandoned her to the threats of Eschalon.
At 22, battered and broken, Kadia stumbled into one of the few remaining monasteries. There, for two years she was healed and became a minor priestess. After bidding farewell to the monastery, hoping for it not to fall into the curse that now seemed to hang around her, Kadia left. Though not healed, she is once again part of the rogues gallery.
Kadia’s primary weapons are her two hooked swords, and two windwheels. She has modified both to essentially carry a controlled release of fuel and spark, makinf the wind wheel spinning disks that spit fire, and her swords able to either be superheated (able to slice clean through almost any metal or iron) or spout off a similar flame to the wheels.
From her time as a gang member, she keeps two gloves - wrist attachments that load disks, spinning them at a highly lethal rate and launching them. Those who see this in action swear she is shooting discs of light – they are likewise considered superheated.
Kadia knows Poi from her time dancing for her gang. This she can also bring to be a weapon-like style. From this and her martial arts, she can easily make up her height with high jumps and attacks in the air.
When she was abandoned, Kadia stumbled around until she ran into a man willing to pay for “experiments.” She volunteered, was drugged, and had a chip implanted in her brain connecting her to the Robo-wolf, Rurik. The wolf is her aid when she gets too depressed, as well as a strong deterrent from the common thief. Rurik has no eyes, nor nose, but a strong sense to wavelengths, so he can “sniff” things out.

Personality:
A mix of fire and water, Kaida is both a short tempered rage and a shifty, deep person. She embodies the duality, almost on the lines of Borderline Personality Disorder. At times, she can take anything and offer great wisdom as well as exhibit great idealism and energy, which can be great for those she tries to help – the hope is infectious. Other times, however, she’ll seem to snap – to give up – for many hours. However, even when in this state, she will fight for those around her, so they can continue even when she can not.
She is clever (or thinks she is), impulsive, and nimble. She is a dancer of light and shadow, hope and despair, fire and ice.
Don’t mention her dichromatic eyes. She was whipped as a child for having the weak albino-like eye that could not see well.
She is also hypersexual and steril.
