Character Story

Kalina, a soldier of Webwoods renowned for her accomplishments during the Slave Wars, was among the first group to follow Maximilia in protecting the refugees of Noctis Nebula. With her exceptional scouting abilities, Kalina assisted Maximilia in keeping the refugees safe, and played a significant role in successfully leading most of them to safety on Earth.

After parting ways with Maximilia, Kalina heard of the Bureau of Rift Management fighting against the abominations, and chose to join forces with them once more to continue the fight.
