The two are forced to fight her until Hook appears, leading them to direct their efforts towards the large Shade instead. Kainé makes her first appearance after Nier and Grimoire Weiss investigate a wreath of Lunar Tears in her shack outside of The Aerie. After becoming possessed Kainé suffered even more persecution from others, deciding to live only to exact her revenge on the Shade who killed Kali, even if it meant using the powers of Tyrann. She also gained the ability to understand the voices of Shades, but convinced herself that they were all evil and deserved to die (Tyrann even mockingly asking her at one point if she's going to sympathize with the Shade Gretel after hearing its vow to protect its fellow Shades). When half of her body was taken over by Tyrann, Kainé became possessed and gained exceptional physical and magical power. It was then that the Shade Tyrann fused with Kainé, allowing her to live and causing her deep hatred of Shades. The shade had Kali pinned down, sadistically enjoying Kainé's despair as it murdered her and left Kainé mutilated. One day when returning home, she encountered the Shade Hook who was attacking the pair's shared home. She held both love and respect for her grandmother, who accepted her the way she was and treated her as a woman. The only person that previously showed her kindness and protection was her equally foul-mouthed grandmother Kali, with whom Kainé lived her childhood with and inherited her attitude from. Though she is secretly glad to have Nier's company, she is accustomed to surviving on her own due to her strong demeanor, skill with twin swords, and her ability to wield magic. She has grown accustomed to being alone, and her veneer of shyness is easily shattered by sudden outbursts and irrational displays of violent anger. As a response to the harassment she received in her childhood for being intersex, she took a liking to clothes that emphasize feminine characteristics. This hybrid form has caused her to live as an outcast, unwelcome in villages and befriended by few.

Originally raised in a village called The Aerie, Kainé is a coarse individual who suffers from the left half of her body, which she keeps under bandage-like coverings, being possessed by a Shade named Tyrann. See also: Kainé's Dreams and Witches' Sabbath
