Biography
Dark Kaia was born in a parallel reality where events unfolded differently: her Dreamwalker gift allowed her to travel between worlds, but it was this gift that led her to the Apocalypse World. There, she experienced numerous traumas, battles, and encounters with violent creatures.

When Dark Kaia found herself in the main world, her path crossed with Claire Novak, leading to complex emotional dynamics. Dark Kaia aided Claire at a critical moment, demonstrating efficiency and decisiveness, but maintained a distance and critical attitude toward all allies except Claire.
