Kainé (Nier)

==Summary==
Kainé, a beautiful and hot-tempered intersex swordswoman, is a companion and tritagonist of NieR. She is possessed by a Shade who dubs himself Tyrann, which allows her the use of magic and enhanced strength. As a result of her upbringing and Tyrann's occupation of her body, she has a disposition towards being cold and cruel - albeit the fact that more often than not she is shy and collected.
