== Biography ==
Kazi was born as a Sunfire Elf in Lux Aurea, who would become a student of language, translation and interpretation, and was also the top of their class in linguistics. One day, they became the Official Interpreter of the Sunfire Queen Khessa.
Kazi would go to translate Amaya, a human general that was captured by the Sunfire Elves in the border of the Human Kingdoms, while Janai interrogated her. During the interrogation, Amaya insulted Janai, which Kazi told her that Amaya said that Amaya told her an unusual way to acomodate Janai' sword, which lead to Janai to bring Amaya to her sister so she could interrogate her.
After the interrogation was over, Kazi was happy that Amaya wasn't dead, but Janai told Amaya that her "king" came to Lux Aurea and that his heart was filled with dark magic and that he would be "purified" by Khessa, with Janai telling Amaya that the king was an arrogant man. Because of this, Amaya understood that it was Viren, and told Janai that everyone was in great danger.
They would then go to try to stop Viren, with Kazi trying to go as well, but Amaya told her not to. Kazi would also appear in the meeting before the Battle of the Storm Spire. Two years later, Kazi would see the message from Karim to Janai where he asked for Janai to fight in a duel to the death.
This would horrify Kazi, telling Janai that they didn't like the message at all, as it smelled like blood and ash. During the duel between Karim and Janai, Kazi held Amaya when she tried to intervene to protect her from the fight. A few days, Kazi would help Janai in trying to decide which flowers she would use for her wedding with Amaya.
Later, they would go with Rayla, Callum, Amaya and Gren to the Bookery of Lux Aurea so they could help in finding something that could help in stopping Aaravos and deliver the books she got two years ago. There, they showed them the bookdrop they used to hide in after the Bookery closed so they could read their books.
They would also help Callum in finding information about the Novablade, a weapon capable of killing a Startouch elf. After this, they left with Gren to get back to the camp while Amaya stayed to get Callum so they could leave before the sun set. Kazi telling Amaya about the bookdrop ironically ended up saving her and Corvus' lives, as they hid in it to protect themselves from corrupted banthers. Kazi is later seen at the camp holding Corvus so they could help him walk and was saddened when Corvus told Janai that Miyana had betrayed her and stolen the Sun Seed and giving it to Karim.
== Personality ==
Kazi is a very hardworking elf who spends a lot of their time studing or doing her work, to the point where she forgets her own birthday often and sees many things that are unrelated to work as distractions. Kazi also dislikes violence and profanity, as they disliked Karim's message to Janai about a blood duel, and made a softer translation of Amaya's insult.
== Trivia ==
