Nina Kaina was the matriarch of the Kain family and ruler of the town. She was the Dark Mistress, and stood in opposition to Victoria Olgimskaya.
Description
“ | Along her steps, doors shut and children hid! | „ |
— Katerina Saburova's reflection. |
Nina Kaina was one of the three Mistresses of the Town. She was able to feel and see things that other could not as she possessed the gift of clairvoyance. Many outsiders regarded Nina's powers with scepticism but always eventually found themselves astonished by their truth. In contrast to the warmth of Victoria Olgimskaya Nina Kaina terrified the Town, bringing a layer of darkness to the lives of the Townsfolk. It is said that when she glanced at candles they would bow to her, regardless of wind. Some believed that she could literally breath life into objects that were otherwise inanimate. Though a mere mortal of six-foot-one Nina Kaina was seen as a towering giant.
Nina did not believe that the power of the Mistresses came from the Earth and rejected the notion.
Plot
Nina's memory hangs heavily over The Town, with many remembering both her name and her immense power. Some feel free without her reign of fear, but some feel as though with her death the Town has lost a bit of it's charm. Katerina Saburova once attempted to replicate her but, in her naivete, mistook her power for romantic darkness.
When the Sand Plague epidemic begins the Townsfolk look to the Mistresses of the past, claiming that were Nina Kaina still alive the plague would have never happened. This idea leads to the rejection of Katerina Saburova, as she is living and has not destroyed the disease with her gifts as they believed Nina would have.
Nina Kaina's power now resides within her daughter, Maria Kaina.
When hovered over on the map, Nina's Tomb states that "Nina Kaina the Wild has not found her resting place here. Even in death, she remains passionate and restless."
