Kaena is a very mixed hybrid—she is mostly coyote, part red wolf, and part dog, with her canis familiaris ancestry consisting of Siberian Husky, Pharaoh Hound, Irish Wolfhound, and German Shepherd, among other breeds. She is rather lanky in stature, with long legs and a long torso. Though she is generally underweight, if well-fed she can bulk up to just under a hundred and ten pounds in her Lupus form. Most of her size actually stems from her dog ancestry, as her heavy coyote and red wolf influences certainly contributed to her slighter-than-average frame.

Her right eye is missing, her left eye is brilliant gold. Her face and body alike are marred with numerous scars; see the added reference picture or her detailed profile for exact specifications. Her coat is rather monochrome, with a dusky, warm gray covering most of her body, fading to white along her muzzle, cheeks, throat, and underbelly. Her ears are completely black, as is the very tip of her tail; along her back she has a saddle pattern in the same charcoal color. There is a splash of henna red across her muzzle, but otherwise she is without true color. Her fur is generally ill-kept and shaggy in appearance, as she doesn't spend too much time grooming, though she is never dirty or messy.

In both Secui and Optime form, her colors remain much the same, and her thick, shaggy mane is silver near her skull, and fades into coal near its tips. Her Secui form is lithely muscled and rather petite in appearance as Secui forms go, though it is deceptive as her halfling form is no less strong for her size. Her chaos star tattoo falls directly over her heart in her Optime form, and she is somewhere between being a feral archetype and a more humanoid werewolf, though she leans toward the wilder kind. She stands with a hunch, though her figure is sharp and bony, consisting mostly of straight lines.

Kaena was born winter of 2001. All three of Kaena's siblings perished before their second month, and all of her mother's aggression and abuse turned to Kaena. When the gray hybrid was still very young, her father returned to visit his former lover and children. Upon finding mangled and starved Kaena, Andre immediately killed Delphine and took Kaena home to live with him. All was not well—shortly after being rescued from her mother, her half-brother Kairo began to abuse and rape her. She became pregnant twice with his children, both litters of which were born extremely prematurely and did not survive. Kaena's father eventually discovered his son's violent streak and killed him for what he had done to Kaena—but his mate, Kairo's mother, killed him in turn for her son's life. A distraught Kaena took off, wandering aimlessly for some time until she happened across Sabryne. Kae killed her stepmother as retribution for her father's death, and turned her back on her homelands, departing forever...

Kaena is unsettled, violent, and highly unpredictable. She is prone to violent outbursts, and enjoys general trouble-making. Above all else, Kaena is a creature driven by vengeance; she will remember an offense for years, and seek her revenge for it if serious enough. Her morality is dim and often-changing, adjusting to fit the situation as she sees fit. She severely dislikes the majority of wolves she comes across, and she carries a general derision for pack wolves and their lifestyle, all the while fighting her own wolf social instincts. She is a rather contemplative creature, and her thoughts tend to deviate to her past rather often. Kae enjoys discussion of the past, so long as certain subjects are avoided—she does not enjoy bringing up anything particularly painful, as she is still very much emotionally affected by a lot of what has happened to her in the past and many of the things she has done. Though she generally tends to be more subdued in her social interactions, she can still pack a bite when necessary, so long as she is not nursing wounds from her recent fights.

She is generally ill-tempered at best toward wolves, though she has been known to engage them sexually and romantically, a direct hypocrisy in her programming which causes her a fair amount of strife. She is generally more accepting towards coyotes, dogs, jackals, other canines, and hybrids, even if they belong to a pack—she may view them as potential future members of Inferni or simply her kin, dependent on the situation. She greatly enjoys the company of the youth, as she misses motherhood and being very close with her children and her family. Her primary motivations are her family and Inferni, though she is generally a more selfish individual when it comes to anyone else. She considers trespassing onto Inferni's territory a severe offense, and will generally attack following a verbal or body language warning to the offender, and she refuses to trespass onto pack territory herself unless the situation is dire, since one of her attempts in her very young days nearly cost her life.

Most of Kaena's facial expressions are difficult to interpret due to the extensive scar tissue, but she is an extremely emotional, volatile creature, subject to a wide range of emotions at varying intensity. Her mood can swing wildly in a very short time, and she is subject to paranoia and the rare delusion, though one is hesitant to label her with a specific illness. She is particularly sensitive about her youngest past, and generally will not discuss it with anyone outside of her immediate family. Though she represents herself as an entirely fearless individual, there is plenty of it lurking in her: she fears losing her family, death, old ghosts, and above all—herself. Kaena is far more afraid of herself and what she is capable of doing than anything else—the darkest deed in her past involves her turning on her own child and killing her. She is an unknown, a question mark—even she cannot predict her next move.
