Equipment: </strong>Kai is tall for a human woman at 6'1", with a willowy frame, small breasts, narrow hips and legs that go on for days, even weeks.  Her strong features give her an androgynous appearance that allows her to assume the role of a male, if she dresses and acts the part.  Her sharp cheekbones, hollow cheeks, chiseled jawline, arched brows and slightly pointed ears hint at some manner of elf in her ancestry.  The most striking things about her appearance, however, are her long, platinum hair and vibrant blue-green eyes, both of which are outward indications of what her parents referred to as her 'affliction'.  If seen without her clothing, one can see the overlapping lash marks on her back, about which she refuses to speak.<br/><br/><strong>History: </strong>When Kaija was born, her parents knew immediately that she was different, and, in their eyes, an abomination.  Her appearance was vastly different from theirs, from anyone in their village, and it was clear that she had Elf blood in her, though not enough to make her one of the 'half-breeds', as they called them.  Her mother was intensely ashamed of the fact that her own grandfather had been a Half-Elf, and she had never dreamed his traits would show up so strongly in one of her children.  Life for the girl was difficult, despised and feared by her own family, an outcast among the provincial people of her village, and 'afflicted' with dangerous magic that was a danger to others, she often spent her time alone in the wilderness.  She liked it out there, where no one beat her or cursed her, where her accidental magic didn't offend anyone.<br/><br/>Once, when she was barely five, she was playing in the woods, when she came across an unfamiliar creature watching her from one of the trees.  The two stared at one another for a bit, before they began a playful game of hide and seek among the branches.  Finally, when both were laughing and panting from running and jumping for so long, they fell to the soft needles together and made fast friends.  From that day on, the two played often, chattering in the language her friend taught her to speak, which no one in the village knew.  Finally Kai had a friend, but she was very careful never to let her parents know about it, because she knew they wouldn't approve.  Her friend was one of the fey, and her parents often railed about how wicked and vicious the fey were, and how her fey blood was precisely what made her such an evil, willful child.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the secret couldn't last forever, and she was eventually caught talking with her friend by another villager, who immediately ran to tell her parents.  The villagers stormed the woods, hunting for her friend, but they never found it, much to Kai's relief.  Even so, Kai's parents could no longer bare to have her living under their roof, and in their only act of mercy, they left her with a local temple, rather than killing her or kicking her out to fend for herself.  After living in the temple for a few months, one of the priestesses, having noted her innate magical gift, packed Kai up and traveled with her to a temple she knew of dedicated to the worship of Mystra.  She felt the temple would be better suited to nurture the girl's power, but all a seven-year-old Kai knew was that one of the few people who'd ever been kind to her was getting rid of her the same way her parents had.  It served to further damage her ability to trust in others or herself.<br/><br/>She grew up in the temple, learning of magic and self-discipline between her duties and worship.  Her magic was wild, and she felt as untamed at times.  The child who scampered up the trees and played cat and mouse with the fey still lived inside of her, despite all her time and effort to tame her wild spirit.  She adheres to a rigorous code of behavior in an effort to kill her wild urges, including a vow of celibacy, which she took up following a particularly energetic sexual encounter with a man and his wife, which ended with literal explosions of light and color as her magic erupted from her upon climax.  This intensive set of rules have often gotten her mocked or labeled a bore, but her terror over her own feral nature and the power it has cursed her with is strong enough to overcome any criticism.<br/><br/><strong>Misc.
