* Was born in India
* When she was 3, her family was kidnapped by scientists
* The scientists experienced with fire on the children of over 100 families
* Kahnsi was one of the few that survived the initial round of experiments
* Her parents were held captive to motivate her to embrace her powers
* The experiments caused her to develop fire powers - she could control heat, is fire proof, and can burn through almost anything with her hands
* In attempt to see how strong her powers were, the scientists threatened her parents, but she wasn't able to save them
* One day, when Kahnsi was 8, and after having lost her parents, and many of the other victims she had grown up with, her emotions got the best of her and she created enough heat to explode and burn the lab to the ground, killing everyone, scientists and the few other surviving victims alike
* Coulson's Team heard about he explosion and were aware of the potential illegal dealings that went on there, and went in to check for survivors, but found none
* While exiting, Skye Johnson heard a sound and went to investigate
* She found a small, shivering girl, huddled admits the rubble
* She contacted Phil Coulson, telling him that she would be remaining in India for a little while - and to take that vacation he had been pestering her about - but didn't mention the little girl
* Kahnsi just stared at Skye, not saying anything
* Skye eventually managed to coax her out of the destroyed building
* The two girls sat next to each other in silence for hours
* Skye, not wanting to scare the little girl, slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out a granola bar
* Kahnsi stared at it for a little, then took it
* Kahnsi and Skye got to know each other, and eventually found a way to communicate, despite Kahnsi not speaking a word of English
* Over the next couple of weeks, Kahnsi learned to trust Skye
* Skye called Coulson to pick her up, she didn't mention the little girl she would be bringing with her
* The entire team was shocked at Skye's new silent shadow
* Skye and Kahnsi quickly became a tight-knit family
* Kahnsi was put into a special class to learn English and to learn to adapt to the American culture
* She suffered from PTSD all throughout her childhood
* She started drawing out her dreams and memories
* Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons created specialized bracelets for Kahnsi to help her control her powers
* Her art teacher in high school encouraged her to focus on her artistic talent, but was concerned about some of the situations and faces in her art
* All of the members of Coulson's Team lived in an apartment above The Playground with their families
* Kahnsi grew up with James Fitzsimmons, Oliver Fitzsimmons, Zoey Coulson, and Sofie Coulson, and would often look after them while their parents were on mission
* When she graduated, she decided to pursue art
* Instead of getting a job along side doing art, Phil talked to her about opening a childcare center to look after the other agents children
* A high school friend of Kahnsi's, Laney Sanders, was pursuing an English degree, but really dreamed of being an author
* When Kahnsi approached her with the idea being an author on the side while child minding, Laney jumped at the idea
* Kahnsi and Laney opened The Treehouse
* Along with the children Kahnsi had already been babysitting, Adrianne Hunter, Jordan Hunter, Jo Murdock, Ayden Nelson, Haley Mackenzie and many others were regular members
* The Treehouse was always open to drop kids off, when parents were called away last minute
* Because Phil, and SHIELD, financed the center, Kahnsi could completely focus on the children and on her art
* She had a lot of fun outfitting the center with colour and specific things that were of interest to the children she was watching
* Kahnsi and Laney took turns watching the children, and focusing on their own projects
