Kailani Pele, or Kai, is the Zenith Caste of the party. Almost more compassionate than the rest of her party combined, and equipped with beautiful wings of Orichalcum, she is essentially an angel.
Description[]
Describing someone as "a nice person" often means they are homely or boring. In Kai's case, it simply means that she is a Nice Person. Extremely compassionate, Kai will do whatever she can to protect people, particularly the innocent. She has a special dislike for sacrifice, after her brother was cast into the volcano Mt Hamoji.
A native of Wavecrest, Kailani has golden skin, dark purple hair pulled back into a braid, and dark blue eyes. She wears a green jerkin, tan pants, a brown belt, and brown calf-length boots. Brown leather gloves cover her hands and wrists, which still have scars from reaching into hot lava. Kai also wears a floor-length brown coat, which is actually an artifact—when needed, it converts into wings of Orichalcum, which provide her with flight and great speed. She also has Celestial Battle Armor for protection in battle.

The martial artist understands the true power of Compassion, the ability to concede defeat, and through it become victorious. Once per scene, if an effect would reduce the martial artist to unconscious or dying, she may instead spend 15 motes and a willpower. The blow strikes home, and the martial artist's body dies, but her Essence remains strong. She erupts in a fiery explosion, dealing (Compassion) unsoakable lethal levels of damage to any being within 50 yards that holds malice toward her, and the flames' caress converts (Compassion) lethal levels of any friendly targets within range into bashing. The martial artist's original body is reduced to ash, but a new, refreshed one springs from the ashes, healed of any bashing damage and (Compassion) lethal levels.
If the martial artist does not have the available Essence, Willpower, or has already been reborn once this scene, her Compassion cannot preserve her life. She erupts in a harmless immolation and departs for Lethe.
