Cayna

Cayna (ケーナ, Kēna) is the main character in In the Land of Leadale. In Leadale, she is a rare High Elf and level 1100 player. Her real world name is Keina Kagami (各務 桂菜, Kagami Keina).

Appearance
Cayna appears as a female High Elf in her mid to late teens with collar length blond hair, blue-green eyes, and pointy ears. She is petite with a slender but well proportioned build.

In her original body, Cayna notes that she was "all skin and bones" due to muscle atrophy from being bedridden.

Personality
Essentially, Cayna sees her new world life the same way a person who's been in a coma would react waking up years later. She largely has no clue about culture and history of the world that World of Leadale became during the 200 years gap between her last login/death and rebirth in that world.

As she is still mentally a teenage girl, Cayna is confused by the news that her in-game children are now real and that she is also a grandmother; she's skipped about 40 years of life human-wise. Though as she's good with kids, Cayna adapts somewhat; she treats her children as if they were elementary age, usually having scold Skargo (a flamboyant doofus) and Mai-Mai (who is overly affectionate) when they bicker like kids (tending to physically punish them). Because Kartatz and Luka are the best behaved of her children, Cayna tends to dote on them the most.

Cayna does not tolerate bickering and stupid antics among her allies, scaring and punishing them; a trait Mai-Mai exaggerated when telling Caerina and Caerick about her, making seem like she was an unstable lunatic. Things that will always anger Cayna is someone calling her the Silver Ring Witch and Skargo's behavior in general.

Cayna is genre savvy, knowing immediately the identities of Primo and Myleene were royalty that snuck out the palace; Lonti's blunders aside, the refusal to state their identities properly was more than enough. She's also very knowledgeable about game events that play out similarly in the current Leadale, using her powers and resources in ways other players are left stunned by.

Biography
Keina Kagami was a 15 year old human girl from Japan. She was born in a rich family, but lost her parents in a tragic accident that also left her paralyzed and only able to live on life support. To cope, she often played the VRMMORPG World of Leadale via neural link to her support A.I Kee. However, a freak power outage cut off her life support and resulted in her body's death. Somehow, her consciousness was transferred into her game avatar Cayna 200 years in Leadale's future. At first confused as to why she was unable to log out or contact the administrators, Kee, who had also been transferred to Leadale with her, informed her of her situation and the fate of her physical body.

In the game, she is a rare 1100 level high elf and the Third Skill Master, giving her the ability to grant skills to players. Due to being a Skill Master and players constantly begging for skills, Cayna went to live in the remote frontier. She is a powerhouse on both the front lines and as a rear guard, but her specialty is using her endless supply of MP to wipe out enemies with magic. Her Guardian Tower sits in a vast forest and stretches high into the heavens; it can only be cleared if a player climbs to the top for twenty-four hours without stopping, which is considered the easiest of the thirteen trials. Her country server was the Black Kingdom of Lypras.

In the game, she was known and feared by her two sobriquets: The Silver Ring Witch and Ferocious Firepower. As a high-ranking player, she belonged to a guild called "Cream Cheese". Due to her characteristics as a high elf, she can hear "plant screams" when walking in green places, such as a forest, stepping on flowers, collecting medicinal herbs and cutting down wood.

Relationships

 * Familial Relationships:
 * Skargo: Cayna's eldest son. His over-the-top personality is often at odds with Cayna's more subdued attitude, leading her to scold him the most of all her children. Anytime her anger or annoyance is roused, she tends to take it out unknowingly using western cartoons' slapstick style of humor, I.E. Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner.
 * Mai-Mai: Cayna's eldest daughter. Though Mai-Mai is less exuberant than her brother Skargo, Mai-Mai's attempts to show her affection with surprises causes some friction between them. She is a romantic shy and sly, acting with coyness and drama if she makes Cayna annoyed.
 * Kartatz: Cayna's second son. Kartatz is the most easy-going of Cayna's first three children, and as a result, Cayna often shows him affection, calling him "cute". He rejects this due to him being a grown man past his prime, however. Despite this, he does seem to enjoy the head pats and head rubs.
 * Luka: Cayna's youngest daughter and the only one of Cayna's adopted children to not be a former sub-character from the game's Foster System. Cayna dotes on Luka, perhaps due to her still being a young child and being the most quiet of her children. Luka is also very proud of Cayna, and will defend her if she ever hears anyone talking ill of her. She takes a very diplomatic role so the odd family can coexist with some sense of normalcy, being able to be a mediator to the Maid and Butler but also her older siblings to the point of stunning everyone who basically resign to be on their best behavior in her presence.
 * Caerick: Cayna's grandson.
 * Caerina: Cayna's granddaughter.
 * Lopus Harvey: Cayna's son-in-law and married to her daughter, Mai-Mai. They have a mutual understanding that Mai-Mai is somewhat of a handful, though they both love her. Often staring at her when Mai-Mai is acting childish or devious.
 * Idzik: Cayna's great-grandson.

 * Player and NPC Relationships:
 * Opus: A fellow Skill Master and member of the Cream Cheese guild. Cayna and Opus were hopelessly and grudgingly connected since the days of beta testing. He was a mentor to Cayna; before she met him, she couldn't read a book on her own and didn't know how to use a computer. After they met, she gained all sorts of knowledge. Opus was very open to Cayna and his other guild members. Cayna states Opus is, "a moron I can't get rid of..." and a terrible friend due to Opus being incredibly arrogant, loving to trick people, and having too many quirks to count. She felt a tinge of loneliness when she thought how she'd never hear him speak again when she visited his tower.
 * Exis: Exis and Cayna were guildmates in the guild Cream Cheese. During that time, Exis used a different character by the name Tartarus. Cayna called him "Tartar Sauce" when he used this account.
 * Quolkeh: A player Cayna was introduced to by Exis. They met after Leadale's servers shut down and worked together to defeat the ghost ship that destroyed Luka's village.
 * Shining Saber: Cayna was one of the first people from the game that Shining Saber met in the new world Leadale became. They did not know each other while it was running, though he had heard of the "Silver Ring Witch". Cayna demanded he never mention her embarrassing nickname ever again. She has been mistaken by the majority of the Felskeilo knights as his fiancée (due to the major culture difference in friendly behavior).
 * Cohral: Cayna was one of the first people from the game that Cohral met in the new world Leadale became. They did not know each other while it was running, but Cohral had heard of the "Silver Ring Witch" and the Cream Cheese Guild. She agreed to trade skills with him for information on any Guardian Towers he hears about and fashioned him a powerful sword.
 * Sahana: A fellow High Elf player that Cayna had registered as her in-game sister.
 * Roxilius: A werecat butler summoned by Cayna.
 * Roxine: A werecat maid summoned by Cayna. She was gifted Tragic Night (Jason's Blade) by Cayna.
 * Li'l Fairy: Allows her to connect to admin privileges in the original Leadale server.
 * Hidden Ogre: Fellow Skill Master.
 * Liothek: Fellow Skill Master.
 * Kyotaro: Fellow Skill Master.
 * Marvelia: Fellow Skill Master.


 * Relationships with Leadale Natives:
 * Lytt: The first person Cayna met in the post-game Leadale. Aside from tricking her into accepting a hairclip as an item for homing in for teleportation, Cayna is good friends with Lytt. Often treating her like an Aunt, and making sure to make Lytt smile as much as possible.
 * Marelle:
 * Elineh:
 * Arbiter:
 * Lonti Arbalest: A student who runs into Cayna when chasing after the Prince, and is shocked on how her family members are some of the most well known people in the kingdom. Becomes friends with Cayna but is always timid or surprised at her various feats or abilities.

Trivia

 * Some early fan translations spelled Cayna's name in Leadale as "Quena".
 * Some of her recurring thoughts are about the absurdity of her being a mother, due to the adoption system from the game (plus adopting an orphaned survivor of a zombie outbreak).
 * A bemused Cayna thinks about how she's never had a boyfriend, or became pregnant from "the deed"; so its still a bit unreal to her as she's still internally a teenager.
 * Her physical age is never stated, but it can be presumed to he early 20s (as every online game gives a character around late teens to early 20s for physical prime).
 * Pay in mind, like most of the other players, Cayna blinked out of existence until 200 years later, granted Shining Saber was ten years earlier than her; so she didn't age as an elf.
 * She often flaunts her strength and saying stuff like "I'm the protagonist of my own story", she also makes fun of common Isekai troupes like overpowered main characters and others such things, despite that she herself is that troupe.
 * She is born on March 23.
 * Despite being known for her vicious anger issues, She values life because of her hospitalization, even artificial life.
