Cami doesn't know anything of her true parents; her earliest memories are of Koya's watchful gaze, gentle admonitions, and quiet tutelage. Found abandoned on the road by Koya during one of Masayoshi's caravan trips amidst a pile of looted wagons and corpses, the living babe's only accompaniment a golden macaque. It was seated atop an unburned wagon, and started screaming and waving to the passing caravan to get their attention; within lay the deformed babe that would later come to be known as Cami Mvashti. The macaque forcefully sat on Koya's shoulder as she gathered the child up, and refused to be separated from the young girl.

Upon returning to Xianxing, it was Madame Niska that called for caution when her daughter announced her intentions to raise the babe. Her fortune-telling had alerted her to a potential danger in the form of a child - not to mention the obvious omen of her being followed by a raven - but even she was not immune to grandmotherly desires to dote upon a grandbaby. The golden macaque, however, stayed with Cami, her constant companion throughout her growing life; when she began to speak, so did it, as if the monkey were drawing upon Cami's own knowledge and capabilities. Its first words were to name itself Cami's Shadow, or Shadow for short.

She grew up a kind, thoughtful child that was easily distracted, flitting from this task to that with wild abandon. It was in this manner that she made friends with Dizzy and Jitsol, coming across them in her town-wanderings led by both her curiosity and the monkey. And it seemed that the danger portent came with the manifestation of Cami's magical talents, in which she nearly burned down several buildings when an errant missile of fire leapt from her fingers and into a haybale, which quickly spread into a conflagration.

Her magical talents were nurtured by her grandmother after that, who put her fears about the child bringing doom to rest, as the fortune had been extremely vague and her attempts to cast the bones and read the tarot no longer revealed any danger after that incident.

It was the same goblin raid that nearly left Dizzy dead that Cami herself was badly injured. Her attempts to hurl her magic against the goblins ran out of steam, and she was set upon by three goblins who stabbed her repeatedly in anger for killing so many of their kind. She survived, if barely, by Shadow running off off and retrieving a group of town guards that butchered the goblins, but the incident left her with a permanent limp in her left leg.

She has a massive crush on Shalelu that basically everyone knows about but she pretends nobody knows but her, Shadow, Dizzy and Jitsol.

More recently, Cami has been driven into a depressive episode by the death of her grandmother and magical mentor, Madame Niska.

Ostensibly the main Point of View character for the narrative.
