Before the outbreak, Kajia Luz was completing a Ph.D. program in psychology, specializing in the study of idolatry and occult beliefs and behaviors. Her academic work focused on the psychological mechanisms underlying devotion, ritual, and group influence, subjects that would later become relevant to her life after the collapse of society.

Before the outbreak, Kajia Luz was a psychology Ph.D. student researching idolatry, occult beliefs, devotion, rituals, and group influence.


After the collapse, she met [[The Arsonist]] in '''Solnichny''', who saved her from cannibals, treated her injuries, and brought her to '''Komarovo'''. There, she was introduced to Eclipse and [[Peter]], an acolyte of [[Torchwood]].
Kajia quickly became a respected leader and was appointed Mayor of Komarovo. With her new friends John and Mellish, she established [[Journey’s End]], a community camp intended to support Eclipse’s settlement efforts.


As mayor, Kajia became involved in a dispute with the [[Dark Carnival]] over the mayoral position. She attempted to resolve the conflict peacefully by offering [[Worm]] a teddy bear containing a cooperation contract.
The contract was later misinterpreted by [[Bean]], who believed it described a romantic relationship between Worm and Kajia. This misunderstanding angered the Dark Carnival and temporarily caused them to withdraw from Komarovo.


During the early years of survival, Kajia lived alongside her husband, Andreás, until he was overtaken by a horde of infected while ensuring her escape. His sacrifice allowed her to survive, though it left her emotionally isolated for several months.


While traveling alone through '''Solnichny''', Kajia encountered The Arsonist, who intervened during two separate confrontations with cannibals and subsequently cared for her injuries. After helping her recover, he organized an exfiltration on the southeastern edge of town. Together, they traveled to '''Komarovo''', where Kajia was introduced to other members of Eclipse, including [[Peter]], a former acolyte of [[Torchwood]].

Kajia is quiet and observant in nature. She often allows others to take the lead in conversation, using the opportunity to evaluate their intentions, demeanor, and the broader context of the discussion. Her approach to morality is nuanced - she views the concepts of good and bad as subjective and open to interpretation. Despite this philosophical flexibility, she maintains several deeply held convictions that guide her decisions and behavior.

Despite this philosophical flexibility, she maintains several deeply held convictions that guide her decisions and behavior.


During her tenure with [[Eclipse]], Kajia frequently acted as a stabilizing presence within the group. She participated in numerous conflicts that arose between Eclipse and rival factions, including the [[506]] and [[Dark Carnival]], though she consistently preferred diplomacy over violence. Many evenings were spent working to de-escalate disputes and engage opposing groups in dialogue, reflecting her tendency to seek resolution through understanding rather than confrontation.

=== Strong Beginnings ===


=== Leadership in Komarovo ===
As a citizen of Eclipse, Kajia Luz was quickly identified as a capable leader and was offered the position of Mayor of Komarovo. Her earliest companions, '''John''' and '''Mellish''', became close confidants whom she regarded as brothers. Together, they established a community camp that would later become known as [[Journey’s End]], serving as a foundation for Eclipse’s efforts to build a stable settlement in the region.
Soon after her appointment as Mayor, Kajia faced a diplomatic conflict with the Dark Carnival. The dispute stemmed from the title of Mayor having already been informally offered to [[Tanner]], one of [[Worm]]’s personalities. Rather than allowing Eclipse to escalate tensions, Kajia proposed handling the matter herself. She presented Worm with a teddy bear containing a written contract that stipulated cooperation between the [[Dark Carnival]] and the community camp under construction. By accepting the bear, both parties symbolically agreed to the terms.
However, the agreement was later misunderstood - partly due to the clowns’ recently acquired literacy skills - and [[Bean]] misinterpreted the contract as a declaration of a personal relationship between Worm and Kajia. This misunderstanding angered him and resulted in a temporary withdrawal of the Dark Carnival’s presence from Komarovo.

=== Diplomacy and Outreach ===


During her time as a citizen of Eclipse, Kajia frequently traveled alone across the country to maintain contact with friends and other community camps, such as the [[House of Hope]].
During her time as a citizen of Eclipse, Kajia frequently traveled alone across the country to maintain contact with friends and other community camps, such as the [[House of Hope]].


While traveling near Kamyshovo, Kajia encountered a group rumored to be cannibals who allegedly forced others to consume human flesh. Choosing to verify the claims firsthand, she spent time with the group and discovered that the accusations were unfounded. Trusting her judgment, she brought the group’s representatives, [[Blaze]] and [[Meek]] to Komarovo to introduce them to members of Eclipse.


Around this same period, Kajia met [[Felix]], prior to his later association with the [[East Side Traders]]. Their friendship fostered open communication between communities in the Southwest and the Northeast, improving the flow of information and cooperation between regions. Kajia also established regular contact with the [[Golden Peppers]], visiting them frequently to share updates and to better understand their perspective on human behavior and interaction.


On their way through Chernogorsk, Kajia radioed The Arsonist to inform him of their approach. Unaware of his intentions, she did not know that he and another Eclipse member, [[William]], were positioned in Balota, prepared to interrogate the visitors. Upon arrival, Blaze and Meek were detained and questioned. Kajia intervened, explaining that the rumors had originated from a separate group that had previously occupied Kamyshovo. After hearing her account, The Arsonist delivered an extensive speech about the Light to all present. The encounter ended peacefully, and Blaze and Meek later renamed their group [[The Hand of Light]], inspired by his message.


=== Time with Eclipse ===


Around this same period, Kajia met [[Felix]], prior to his later association with EST. Their friendship fostered open communication between communities in the Southwest and the Northeast, improving the flow of information and cooperation between regions. Kajia also established regular contact with the [[Golden Peppers]], visiting them frequently to share updates and to better understand their perspective on human behavior and interaction.
After considerable persuasion from its’ leaders, [[Cain]] and [[Ryker]], Kajia ultimately agreed to formally join Eclipse as a Ward. Kajia’s consistent efforts quickly distinguished her within Eclipse. She worked persistently to reshape the group’s reputation, emphasizing diplomacy, and transparency. Her involvement in maintaining and improving the community camp further strengthened Eclipse’s presence in the region.


Kajia frequently traveled alone to meet with both allies and enemies, aiming to restore or reinforce communication channels that had broken down over time. Her diplomatic skill led to her promotion to Sentinel soon after joining. Shortly after this advancement, Cain, the former leader of Eclipse, vanished, leaving behind a written note that appointed Kajia and Blaze as his successors in title.


As Keeper of Eclipse, Kajia worked to redirect the group’s focus toward the ideals of the New World, a vision centered on cooperation, reconstruction, and unity. She pursued alliances with several positive and community-oriented factions, such as the [[Coalition]], the [[People of New Balota]], the [[Overlook]], and the [[Helping Hands]]. Her Wards [[Robert Clark]] and [[Cade Wilson]] worked together, proposing the creation of a shared charter to formalize their collaboration, and presented this charter with the above groups when the charter was approved by all three Keepers of Eclipse.


[[File:Kajia7.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Wisp and Greeny are confronted by Delilah and Rosco from HOST shortly after the Stary Yar Incident.]]
Kajia attended both [[Blackthorn Gang]] church services led by [[Father Abraham]] prior to the [[Mogilevka Massacre]], viewing them as evidence that even the most troubled factions were capable of redemption. At the first church service, she met [[David Vane]], who would go on to be a close friend and ally.


=== Rise Within Eclipse ===


[[File:Kajia3.png|400px|thumb|right]]
Later, she witnessed the [[Stary Yar Incident]] at the [[Honest Coin]] pub, which profoundly influenced her relationships with [[Wisp]] and [[Nattasha]] of the Coalition. In the aftermath, Kajia offered them refuge in Komarovo, providing protection against those who sought retribution based on claims of their alleged cult activity.
After considerable persuasion from its’ leaders, [[Cain]] and [[Ryker]], Kajia ultimately agreed to formally join Eclipse as a Ward. Shortly following her initiation, she facilitated the recruitment of several members from the Hand of Light, including its leaders Blaze and Meek, as well as a member named [[Tig]].




Kajia’s consistent efforts quickly distinguished her within Eclipse. She worked persistently to reshape the group’s reputation, emphasizing diplomacy, and transparency. Her involvement in maintaining and improving the community camp further strengthened Eclipse’s presence in the region.


=== Internal Conflict and the Mogilevka Massacre ===
Kajia was informed by [[Cob]] that Eclipse members had raided Golden Peppers territory. She investigated and discovered that Ryker, one of Eclipse’s leaders, had authorized and led the raid. Ryker accepted responsibility and agreed to face the consequences, but afterward he became increasingly distant and unpredictable, worrying Kajia as she tried to keep Eclipse stable.


In addition to her administrative and community work, Kajia frequently traveled alone to meet with both allies and enemies, aiming to restore or reinforce communication channels that had broken down over time. Her diplomatic skill led to her promotion to Sentinel soon after joining. Shortly after this advancement, Cain, the former leader of Eclipse, vanished, leaving behind a written note that appointed Kajia and Blaze as his successors in title.
The [[Mogilevka Massacre]] then devastated Chernarus, killing many allies and destroying much of the cooperative network Kajia had built. The death of her close friend Wisp deeply affected her, changing both her leadership style and damaging her hopes for the New World.
=== Tenure as Keeper ===
As Keeper of Eclipse, Kajia worked to redirect the group’s focus toward the ideals of the New World, a vision centered on cooperation, reconstruction, and unity. She pursued alliances with several positive and community-oriented factions, such as the [[Coalition]], the [[People of New Balota]], the [[Overlook]], and the [[Helping Hands]]. Her Wards [[Robert Clark]] and [[Cade Wilson]] worked together, proposing the creation of a shared charter to formalize their collaboration, and presented this charter with the above groups when the charter was approved by all three Keepers of Eclipse.
 


For several months, Kajia dedicated herself to building lasting relationships with groups and individuals across the region, gradually strengthening ties that she hoped would contribute to a more stable and hopeful future. Her diplomatic persistence made her a familiar figure among many settlements and organizations.
Kajia attended both [[Blackthorn Gang]] church services led by [[Father Abraham]] prior to the [[Mogilevka Massacre]], viewing them as evidence that even the most troubled factions were capable of redemption. At the first church service, she met [[Big Dave]], who would go on to be a close friend and ally.

=== Internal Conflict and the Mogilevka Massacre ===
[[File:Kajia8.png|300px|thumb|right]]
During this period, Kajia was approached by [[Cob]], who reported a raid conducted by members of Eclipse within their territory. They requested that those responsible face disciplinary action. Unaware that the operation had taken place, Kajia initiated an internal investigation and discovered that Ryker, one of Eclipse’s fellow leaders, had authorized and led the mission alongside several members.


=== Mourning and Moving On ===


Kajia informed Ryker of the Golden Peppers’ demand for accountability. Acknowledging his role, he accepted responsibility and agreed to face the consequences personally. In the aftermath, Ryker’s demeanor changed noticeably. He became distant and unpredictable, which increasingly concerned Kajia as she worked to maintain balance and stability within the group.
At [[Cooper]]’s memorial, Kajia met former Odyssey members [[Jack]] and [[Cam]]. Though initially suspicious of Eclipse and Kajia by extension, they accepted her invitation to visit Komarovo, where Kajia earned their trust by honestly explaining everything that had happened since she became a leader.
Jack, Cam, and other former Odyssey members began visiting Komarovo, while Kajia formed close friendships with her wards [[Lavender Flowers]], [[Iris Flowers]], [[Claire]], and others. Their support helped her cope with Wisp’s death and the growing instability within Eclipse.
Jack offered Kajia a place in Odyssey if the group ever returned. For a time, [[Odyssey]] and the [[Wolves of Selene]], led by Princess [[Runa]], regrouped and lived near Journey’s End.


Soon after these internal tensions arose, the [[Mogilevka Massacre]] devastated the population of Chernarus. Many of their allies were either killed or left mourning, effectively dismantling the cooperative network Kajia had been fostering. The tragedy struck deeply on a personal level as well, as one of her closest friends, Wisp, was murdered during the event. Her loss profoundly affected Kajia, leaving a lasting mark on her leadership and her outlook on the New World she had once envisioned.
After growing closer to both groups, and being betrayed by her former friend, Kajia left Eclipse. Several members wanted to follow her because of their loyalty to her leadership, so she helped them find new groups before traveling north to begin a new chapter.

[[File:Kajia9.png|300px|thumb|right]]




=== Mourning and Moving On ===
=== A Time With Odyssey ===
At [[Cooper]]’s memorial hosted by EST, Kajia met former Odyssey members [[Jack]] and [[Cam]]. Initially, both were wary of Kajia and the Eclipse members attending the service, uncertain of their intentions. However, their skepticism eased when they accepted Kajia’s invitation to visit Komarovo in the following days, accompanied by [[Orph]] from the People of New Balota.
For a few months, after the end of Eclipse, Kajia would go on to live in '''Brixton''' with [[Odyssey]] during their short return. Very soon after setting up Pebbles Pub, Odyssey would regularly receive many visitors, friendly and otherwise. Before Kajia’s time, Odyssey and the Forsaken Loyalists had come to an agreement for a ceasefire. However, the Loyalists quickly began testing the limits of this agreement. After ignoring multiple requests to speak to members of Odyssey, the group decided to end the ceasefire by sending a message via the killing of Forsaken Loyalist member and Treasurer, [[Benjamin Smits]].




During their visit, Jack and Cam were informed of Cain’s death by Ryker, but due to his condition, the details were largely incorrect. Kajia took this time to connect with Jack and Cam and tell them everything that had happened since she became a leader. She had gained their trust with her honesty, and they, along with other former Odyssey members, would slowly start showing up down south in Komarovo in the coming weeks.
During the winter, Odyssey would slowly become less active as its members went off to warmer lands. Shortly after the season ended, Odyssey would learn of [[Joe Fraser]]s' death by [[Dark as Midnight]]. [[Shifty]] became more distant in the coming weeks, and would go on to be shot by [[Bobs]] in an emotional and tense scene. Bobs came to Brixton to inform Odyssey, and members would begin to disappear soon after, retreating to other lands and going into hiding, including all of Odyssey’s remaining leadership.


[[File:Kajia10.png|300px|thumb|right]]


Without any guidance from their leaders, Kajia and Lavender would begin to run together and begin to form a plan for a new group.


Kajia and Jack developed a close bond during this period. He became a source of support as she continued to grieve the loss of Wisp and wrestled with the uncertainty surrounding Eclipse’s future. During one late-night discussion about the growing disagreement within her group, Jack extended an offer: if Odyssey ever returned, Kajia would have a place among them.


During this time, the remnants of Odyssey reached out to Greeny to reconnect. After waiting for him to arrive at a rendezvous point near '''Sherwood''', Greeny never showed up. They would soon learn from [[David Vane]] that he and [[Mira]], former Blackthorn Gang member, had murdered Greeny in cold blood for harming Mira.


Odyssey and [[Runa]], Princess of the [[Wolves of Selene]] would go on to live for a short time in the outpost near Journey’s End as they started to regroup for their eventual return.


=== Returning to Leadership ===
After months of no contact with their former leadership, and freshly agitated by the murder of Greeny, Lavender Flowers and Kajia met and discussed the possible paths laid in front of them. They agreed that even with Odyssey being gone, they couldn’t let their mission go unfinished. The agreement would go on to form a new group, [[Nightshade]], wherein the leaders mixed their beliefs and values together to create a new union of ideals and expectations for their group members. The two brought their idea to [[The Peruvian]], another member of Odyssey, and he decided to help the two create the group and recruit new members.


After becoming acquainted with more members of Odyssey and the Wolves of Selene, Kajia decided to part ways with Eclipse. Upon announcing her departure, many within the group expressed a desire to follow, citing her leadership as the reason they had remained. Kajia assisted these members in finding new groups before traveling north to begin her next chapter.

Potrait of Kajia as a Nightshade member.

Overview

"Veritas Odit Moras"


Group/Faction Affiliation: Eclipse, Odyssey, Nightshade

Status: Alive


Kajia Luz, former Keeper of Eclipse, was known among her former members as the Supreme Leader or Empress of the New World. She originally entered Eclipse after a prolonged encounter with The Arsonist, who subsequently invited her to join the organization’s effort to establish what was referred to as the New World.


Following her recruitment, Kajia advanced rapidly through the ranks of citizenship and ranks of Eclipse, ultimately attaining the position of Keeper. Unconfirmed reports suggested that she may have held an additional, undisclosed title within the organization, known only to its inner circle.


After her departure from Eclipse, Kajia helped with the redistribution of her former members across several groups operating within Chernarus. She later joined Odyssey, based in Brixton. After many losses and changes to Kajia's beliefs, she helped create Nightshade with her co-leader Lavender Flowers.


Appearance

Kajia demonstrates a clear preference for clothing selected for style rather than practicality. However, she consistently adapts her attire to suit her surroundings and environmental conditions. She is typically seen wearing a radar cap, shemagh, and glasses, which serve to shield her face from severe weather and maintain a degree of anonymity during travel.

Origins

Bean at The Honest Coin opening.

Before the outbreak, Kajia Luz was a psychology Ph.D. student researching idolatry, occult beliefs, devotion, rituals, and group influence.

After the collapse, she met The Arsonist in Solnichny, who saved her from cannibals, treated her injuries, and brought her to Komarovo. There, she was introduced to Eclipse and Peter, an acolyte of Torchwood. Kajia quickly became a respected leader and was appointed Mayor of Komarovo. With her new friends John and Mellish, she established Journey’s End, a community camp intended to support Eclipse’s settlement efforts.

As mayor, Kajia became involved in a dispute with the Dark Carnival over the mayoral position. She attempted to resolve the conflict peacefully by offering Worm a teddy bear containing a cooperation contract. The contract was later misinterpreted by Bean, who believed it described a romantic relationship between Worm and Kajia. This misunderstanding angered the Dark Carnival and temporarily caused them to withdraw from Komarovo.


Demeanor

Kajia is quiet and observant in nature. She often allows others to take the lead in conversation, using the opportunity to evaluate their intentions, demeanor, and the broader context of the discussion. Her approach to morality is nuanced - she views the concepts of good and bad as subjective and open to interpretation. Despite this philosophical flexibility, she maintains several deeply held convictions that guide her decisions and behavior.


Actions

Picture of Fae and Kajia at the first Church service led by Father Abraham.

Strong Beginnings

During her time as a citizen of Eclipse, Kajia frequently traveled alone across the country to maintain contact with friends and other community camps, such as the House of Hope.


Around this same period, Kajia met Felix, prior to his later association with the East Side Traders. Their friendship fostered open communication between communities in the Southwest and the Northeast, improving the flow of information and cooperation between regions. Kajia also established regular contact with the Golden Peppers, visiting them frequently to share updates and to better understand their perspective on human behavior and interaction.


Time with Eclipse

After considerable persuasion from its’ leaders, Cain and Ryker, Kajia ultimately agreed to formally join Eclipse as a Ward. Kajia’s consistent efforts quickly distinguished her within Eclipse. She worked persistently to reshape the group’s reputation, emphasizing diplomacy, and transparency. Her involvement in maintaining and improving the community camp further strengthened Eclipse’s presence in the region.

Kajia frequently traveled alone to meet with both allies and enemies, aiming to restore or reinforce communication channels that had broken down over time. Her diplomatic skill led to her promotion to Sentinel soon after joining. Shortly after this advancement, Cain, the former leader of Eclipse, vanished, leaving behind a written note that appointed Kajia and Blaze as his successors in title.

As Keeper of Eclipse, Kajia worked to redirect the group’s focus toward the ideals of the New World, a vision centered on cooperation, reconstruction, and unity. She pursued alliances with several positive and community-oriented factions, such as the Coalition, the People of New Balota, the Overlook, and the Helping Hands. Her Wards Robert Clark and Cade Wilson worked together, proposing the creation of a shared charter to formalize their collaboration, and presented this charter with the above groups when the charter was approved by all three Keepers of Eclipse.

Wisp and Greeny are confronted by Delilah and Rosco from HOST shortly after the Stary Yar Incident.

Kajia attended both Blackthorn Gang church services led by Father Abraham prior to the Mogilevka Massacre, viewing them as evidence that even the most troubled factions were capable of redemption. At the first church service, she met David Vane, who would go on to be a close friend and ally.


Later, she witnessed the Stary Yar Incident at the Honest Coin pub, which profoundly influenced her relationships with Wisp and Nattasha of the Coalition. In the aftermath, Kajia offered them refuge in Komarovo, providing protection against those who sought retribution based on claims of their alleged cult activity.


Internal Conflict and the Mogilevka Massacre

Kajia was informed by Cob that Eclipse members had raided Golden Peppers territory. She investigated and discovered that Ryker, one of Eclipse’s leaders, had authorized and led the raid. Ryker accepted responsibility and agreed to face the consequences, but afterward he became increasingly distant and unpredictable, worrying Kajia as she tried to keep Eclipse stable.

The Mogilevka Massacre then devastated Chernarus, killing many allies and destroying much of the cooperative network Kajia had built. The death of her close friend Wisp deeply affected her, changing both her leadership style and damaging her hopes for the New World.


Mourning and Moving On

At Cooper’s memorial, Kajia met former Odyssey members Jack and Cam. Though initially suspicious of Eclipse and Kajia by extension, they accepted her invitation to visit Komarovo, where Kajia earned their trust by honestly explaining everything that had happened since she became a leader. Jack, Cam, and other former Odyssey members began visiting Komarovo, while Kajia formed close friendships with her wards Lavender Flowers, Iris Flowers, Claire, and others. Their support helped her cope with Wisp’s death and the growing instability within Eclipse. Jack offered Kajia a place in Odyssey if the group ever returned. For a time, Odyssey and the Wolves of Selene, led by Princess Runa, regrouped and lived near Journey’s End.

A Time With Odyssey

For a few months, after the end of Eclipse, Kajia would go on to live in Brixton with Odyssey during their short return. Very soon after setting up Pebbles Pub, Odyssey would regularly receive many visitors, friendly and otherwise. Before Kajia’s time, Odyssey and the Forsaken Loyalists had come to an agreement for a ceasefire. However, the Loyalists quickly began testing the limits of this agreement. After ignoring multiple requests to speak to members of Odyssey, the group decided to end the ceasefire by sending a message via the killing of Forsaken Loyalist member and Treasurer, Benjamin Smits.


During the winter, Odyssey would slowly become less active as its members went off to warmer lands. Shortly after the season ended, Odyssey would learn of Joe Frasers' death by Dark as Midnight. Shifty became more distant in the coming weeks, and would go on to be shot by Bobs in an emotional and tense scene. Bobs came to Brixton to inform Odyssey, and members would begin to disappear soon after, retreating to other lands and going into hiding, including all of Odyssey’s remaining leadership.


Without any guidance from their leaders, Kajia and Lavender would begin to run together and begin to form a plan for a new group.


During this time, the remnants of Odyssey reached out to Greeny to reconnect. After waiting for him to arrive at a rendezvous point near Sherwood, Greeny never showed up.

The Arsonist saved Kajia in Solnichny early on in her time in Chernarus and became a key example of leadership for her. The Arsonist was her first introduction to the Light as a religion and has continued to remain an inspiration to her regarding her faith and the tests that come with it.

Worm

Worm (and by extension Tanner) was one of the first members of another group that Kajia met. Her ongoing issues and conflicts with Worm were a constant during her time with Eclipse. Worm and Kajia have had a continually tenuous relationship, with many shots and words being exchanged over the time they have known each other.

Wisp & Nattasha

Wisp and Nattasha were friends of Kajia’s from early in her time with Eclipse. As a citizen, she met each of them separately and would go on to cherish the times she was able to run into them. When they temporarily lived at Journey’s End, the three of them spent considerable time together and had many late-night discussions regarding group politics and life philosophies.

Cob & The Golden Peppers

Kajia first met the Golden Peppers right after becoming a citizen of Eclipse. She would quickly grow fond of them and visit often with stories, gifts, or just to chat. Cob would provide insight for Kajia during her time as leader and help her think of how to deal with issues she was facing.

David Vane

Dave and Kajia met at the first service held by Father Abraham. While the Merry Men were down south investigating Firefly conflicts, Dave and Kajia spent days running together and debating their beliefs. They bonded over their desire to hold onto hope regardless of looming threats from the Cult of Papa.

Greeny

Kajia looked up to Greeny from her early time as a citizen of Eclipse after visiting the House of Hope. She would go out of her way to visit and they were able to bond over Cain’s passing, with Greeny informing her of the history of her group and their former friendship from an external perspective.

Lavender Flowers

Kajia first met Lavender Flowers, and her wife, Iris Flowers, in Kamenka. She became fast friends with both women, and they supported her efforts within Eclipse as citizens and then as wards. Lavender would go on to become like a sister to Kajia, opting to follow her after a short stint in the Wolves of Selene to Odyssey, and then helping to create Nightshade.

Claire

Claire met Kajia at Journey's End in Komarovo. Kajia immediately became fond of and protective of Claire, seeing like a little sister. She would push Claire to look past her fears and grow into herself as a potential leader within Eclipse. After some time apart post-Eclipse, and both having suffered many losses, the two reunited within the ranks of Nightshade.

Where are they now?

Kajia can be found running through the lands of Chernarus with her closest allies, and hunting those they have deemed as a danger to the good people who live in the region. She runs with former members of Odyssey, Eclipse, and other groups. She can often be found chasing gunshots or observing groups and individuals from a distance to gather information.
