## Personality

Kai appears to be in her late teens, yet possesses a child-like outlook on life. Her level of immaturity can most likely attributed to the fact that her mother, as well as her entire clan, was murdered when she was young, thereby traumatizing her to the point where her mind created a sort of "happy place", where the problems going on around her couldn't reach. She isn't completely unaware of the violence around her or the seriousness of a situation, though; an example is when she goes on a rescue mission to free Nariko from Bohan's prison. Kai's appearance seems to resemble her personality as well. The developers wanted Kai to possess catlike behaviour (for example, when climbing ladders or when jumping on the wooden beams) and appearance, as seen in unlockable developers' logs.

## Powers and Abilities

Although not possessing any skill whatsoever in terms of close combat, Kai's skill with a crossbow is virtually unmatched. She can even fire with her unerring skill while hanging upside-down by a single foot. Kai is also able to stun enemies by leaping over their heads, which players can use to their advantage. Kai can also shoot her crossbow, which she calls a game of "Twing-Twang", by using arrows through fire and into explosives, causing explosions and immense damage to the surrounding area.
