==Biography==
She first appears fending off three monsters when Adol was examining a mural of Lefance’s disciples. When Adol approaches, she asks who he is and if he was jumping in to help. She tells him she can handle the monsters herself. She tells him she lives in the wind village of Komodo close by. She also explains that the village had problems with villagers disappearing for no reason. She was looking for her friend Lemnos who had disappeared. She then tells him to see her at the village.
At the village, she guides him to the Elder’s hut where he tells him it is good to see brave him in the world and learns about a letter Adol found in a bottle about Celceta being in danger. Karna reminds Adol that people have been vanishing lately and the lake is turning red as blood as the words from Lefance said. She then tells Adol to see the Great Sage of Celceta, in the village where Lefance was laid to rest as he can help him understand everything better.
Just then, they learn Lemnos’s dog ran off towards the crater, apparently picking up a trace of his master. Karna then gathers her men for an investigation and tells him to go ahead. When a monster turns out to be Lemnos under a curse, his dog comes with Karna and two of her men who were shocked to learn about what happened to him.
Lemnos explains he was in the forest when several strange people led by Gruda snagged him and turned him into a monster at the Sacred Stormvale. He also explains that the monsters who had been roaming lately have been people placed under the same curse as him. Karna orders her men to take Lemnos back to the village.
She then tells Adol that what he did wasn’t his fault and that the strange people were responsible. She also explains she heard of three suspicious characters visiting the castle in the Stormvale a few months back and they might be behind this which is around the time people started disappearing.
Before parting, she gives him the Eye of the Sun as the Elder asked her to as Adol would need it when he meets the sage. Before heading back to the village to see what to do for Lemnos, Adol tells her that he would see the Sacred Stormvale.
Later when Adol comes to Komodo to find Lillia, he learns from a recovered Lemnos that Karna is leading a raid on the Stormvale Castle to stop Gruda and his partners. After Adol dispatches the Romun soldiers invading Komodo by himself, he heads to Highland where he finds Leeza begging Karna not to enter the Stormvale as outsiders are not permitted, Karna counters this as the Stormvale has become a haven for evil. Leeza tells her that blood must not be spilled in the Stormvale, but Karna tells her she has no time to waste as innocent people are getting turned into demons and pushes her back so she and her men can pass.
Adol then enters the castle where he finds Karna’s men holding off monsters to ensure Adol can break through. After Adol’s failed attempt at saving Lillia, Karna catches up with him that there was no sign of Gruda or his partners after her men have captured the castle. She then tells him to talk with Leeza who knows more than she lets on. Karna then has the wounded tended to while he goes.
Later, Dogi informs Adol about Karna breaking into the ancient city. Adol catches up with her and Lemnos at the door to the Golden Shrine. When they couldn’t open the door as a result of magical forces, Lefance’s spirit tells Adol to go to the Iris Tower to find another way.
Later, she and Lemnos break down the door keeping them out of the Golden Shrine to find that Adol defeated Eldeel. When she reprimands Leeza for sympathising with him, Adol tells her off on this as Leeza had to endure her share her suffering as a result of the corruption Gruda implanted in Eldeel. After being warped out of the city, Karna talked with Lemnos about making Celceta a proud nation again. He exclaims that he had that answer and their history is important, but cannot be the only thing that should shape their vision of the future.
