History[]
Li Mu and Hai Yin[]
Kaine grew up in the province of Gan Mon in the northern part of Zhao, which was continuously raided and pillaged by the Xiongnu in that region. As a youth, her parents were brutally killed, and she was orphaned by the Xiongnu Horse Tribes. All generals who were sent there failed to subdue the threat as they were usually too hot-headed and impatient to pursue effective strategies. Consequentially, they kept dying until Ri Boku, a relatively new and young general, was appointed there. He was able to halt the Xiongnu's raids by simply avoiding confrontation. Instead of facing them directly, he drilled the villagers into learning to evacuate and taking shelter inside the walls of Gan Mon castle during the attacks.
Initially, she and her friend Shou (Chinese: Zhao), an archer, didn't like this strategy and always wanted to face them head-on instead of cowardly evacuating, want to seek revenge for her family's death at the hands of the Xiongu. However, she soon came to realize that Ri Boku had suffered the same past as her; having been orphaned in a war and losing his brothers, and close friends. Driven mad by vengeance, he and his 1000-man battalion disobeyed orders and charged at the enemy camp but his satisfaction at killing the enemy general soured upon discovering his recklessness led to his entire unit (containing the rest of his family and friends) being completely wiped out. Instead of choosing to remain the path of revenge, he chose to become a strategist in order to save his comrades' lives as often as possible instead of endangering them. Unaware that Kaine now understood Ri Boku's actions, Shou reported to central Zhao that Ri Boku was neglecting his duties, so he was relieved and replaced by yet another hot-headed commander. The result is devastating, Gan Mon Castle was overrun, the replacement general was immediately killed, the majority of Zhao's forces in the region were killed, and refugees were forced to flee south. In the aftermath of a battle, Shou was killed and besides Kaine, there were only a handful of survivors. Meanwhile, Kaine was wounded, regretting what Ri Boku's exile did to Gan Mon. Soon after Shou and her comrades were buried, Ri Boku returned and started anew; much to Kaine and the survivors' relief. Sometime afterward, he and Kaine were able to amass enough skilled soldiers to wipe out the next army of Xiongnu raiders; a battle that Yo Tan Wa witnessed the aftermath of upon setting out on her own campaign against the horsemen tribes.
During her service in the northern region, Kaine became a master in mountain horsemanship and a capable dual sword wielder. After Riboku left to follow his path in warfare and politics, Kaine came along with him as his bodyguard.

At some point, she noticed that Ten was on the walls giving orders and guiding the militia. Instead of killing her, Kaine knocked Ten out and ordered one of her vassals to bring her along as a hostage. Shin, who witnessed the scene, charged at Kaine and knocked her off the walls. Ten grabbed her hand before she could fall down and attempted to save her, but Kaine was determined to either take Ten with her or kill her right there.
