I've had Kanna for so long that I honestly don't remember what drove me to make her in the first place. If I had to guess, though, I probably wanted an Au Ra character. I really love the way female Au Ra look, especially their scales and horns. It doesn't hurt that they look good in a variety of outfits, either.
Even so, it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with Kanna. I've done a little roleplaying with her, so I have a decent idea of her backstory, but I don't feel especially driven to work on her most of the time. Which is fine; I have more than enough things to occupy myself with!
Backstory
Kanna was born in Doma before the Garlean occupation to a family of shinobi. Her parents and siblings perished, but her aunt, Sai, managed to smuggle Kanna out, taking her to Kugane. Kanna has only vague memories of Doma, and struggles with whether to consider herself Hingan or Doman.
Sai trained Kanna in the art of the shinobi from a young age. To make ends meet, her aunt took on jobs from the seedier side of Kugane, and essentially worked as an assassin. As Kanna got older, she followed in Sai's footsteps and joined her in her work.
When Kanna was 17, the two of them were caught in the act of committing a murder. Kanna managed to escape, but Sai was jailed and eventually executed. Kanna escaped and spent a few years traveling the Ruby Sea, working alongside the Confederates.
After the withdrawal of Garlean forces from the region, Kanna decided to travel west, eventually finding herself in Tural. A chance encounter with a tural vidraal nearly ended her life, but she survived and decided to devote herself to slaying rare game rather than return to the work of an assassin. She took up a viper's blades and now spends her time as a hunter for hire.
Minion
I always meant to find an appropriate minion for Kanna, but I've just never settled on one. Rems gave her a Dwarf Rabbit, and it's what Kanna's had out ever since. Might as well stick with it!
