History
Kai Schulen was born Leena Schulen, and grew up in the town of Hafen alongside her brother, Kai Schulen, Claude Wallace, Raz and Riley Miller. Whilst her friends entered the Military, Kai joined Hafen's local defence force as a sniper, where she honed her aiming and shooting skills.

Much later, she joins Squad E as a replacement for her brother who defects. To prevent the military from finding out he abandoned his post she takes up his name upon his request and posing as him, getting Claude Wallace and Raz to help her pass the test. It is revealed after the test that the sights on her sniper rifle were off, and that with a proper sight she is every bit as good of a shot as her brother.

Kai often get into fights with Raz who would hit on her and call her by her birthname, putting her mission as 'Kai' in danger. These would usually end with Raz recieving a beat down. She would also bicker with him often about food, in particular her bread, which is her particular favourite. She would always attempt to protect Raz as he charges off recklessly. During one of these typical events, Kai was shot by an enemy sniper. Raz kept her safe whilst the rest of Squad E reached and saved them.

Eventually after the battle of Siegval Kai and the other members of Squad E boarded the Centurion. Later the Centurion would take on a group of refugees, including a spy for the real Kai, who gave Leena a device to contact her brother.

Kai would report to her brother, leaking vital info to him, reasoning that he must have a reason to defect. After her leaks resulted in Squad E being attacked, she confronts her brother to try and get some answers, but he, now going by the name 'Forseti', tells her it's not of her concern and she needs to continue her role. Kai, overcome with guilt, confides in Raz, who embraces her and reveals he has always been in love with her and will have her back no matter what.

Kai later comes clean to both Riley and Claude as well, both of whom blame Forseti for using Kai, but Forseti refuses to explain his actions to them, trying to convince Claude to defect and join him and the Imperial army instead.
