A child hood friend of Fera Clan Dustfox Kari has but recently joined the guild and has spoken little of her past, it is well known that she is a tracker of some skill and has some limited ability to make potions but beyond this the guild know little. She wears the marks of a war hero tatooed upon her face and proudly anounces she is from Clan Dustfox when asked. Since joining the guild she has been accused of fighting for Salamander by Khalor of clan Hawk but strenuiously denies that she did claiming that she fought against him. Sitting alone crying at the memories of the war after confrontation with Khalor she was approched by Gizelle who comforted her and managed to wean more of her life story out of her.

At the very begining of the war she had lost her best friend Fera to the forces of Salamander and afterwards fought to free the tartarian people of the curse that was Salamander. Even after he was defeted his legacy lived on for Kari, no matter where she went or what she did she was treated with hatred and suspicion. For she was of the clan of Dustfox and all knew that the whole of that clan were allied with Salamander. The marks she wore showing that she had fought against him did her little good as people just assumed they ment she was a hero for Salamander not against him. So she moved on never staying in one place for too long as she would be attacked by the locals, usally she was lucky if she was allowed to stay the night, once she found somewhere she could stay for a few days but that was only because they didn't know who she was as she was injured and unconcious at the time. She would retreat to the wild for only there could she be truly free as noone would come across her and so she had less chance of being attacked. Eventually she overheard some men talking about the Aberddu Adventurers guild saying that they were crazy enough to take anyone and that they din't care where you came from. Deciding that it could do no further harm and might actually lead to some good Kari decided to find this Adventurers guild in the hopes that they might let her join.

All this she told Gizelle whilst the tears that she had bottled up for years flowed down her face, unable to comment Gizelle just wrapped her in a big hug and held her close, comforting her. At first Kari stiffened, she was not used to close physical contact with anyone as it had been years since she had last been near anyone who liked her enough to hug her however she soon softened into the embrace and hugged back fearcly crying for all she was worth as Gizelle slowly rocked her back and forth. Soon they rejoined the guild and Kari made her peace with Khaloras the two decided that they had bigger things to fight than each other, though she still dosn't fully trust him she will help Khalor and fight by his side in Battle.

It was upon the next guild night that Kari was present that things began to go wrong. A magic that Kari didn't understand pulled them into the pit where most of the guild fell asleep (including Kari). When she woke up it was not long before she was attacked by some plants, at first it seemed like nothing, just a little scratch but it was to prove much more deadly than that. Once most of the guild were joined together they ased if there were any good trackers who could look for members of the guild who had become lost. Kari immediatly volunteared herself and was chosen to go with Bly to look for lost guild members. They only found one, Spike, who was being chased by several beasts from witch Kari ran as fast as her legs would carry her. Once back with the guild Kari met a figure (who later turned out to be a demon) that called itself Amroth, though at first she didn't really believe that this shining figure was a god Kari was finally convinced when she saw Arkhan fall onto his knees in fornt of it. Convinced that this was infact a God Kari began pleeding with it to give them information on how to get out or even better to actually get them out itself. Though she would not get them out she did tell Kari that the fate of the guild was in her hands and that it was up to her to get them out, that she could do it the rest was up to her. Then the figure dissapered and Kai was left all alone. It was whilst she was tryong to figure out this puzzle that the gardiner came. He asked to see all those who had been injured by the plants, he and Kari did not hit it off at all well, it ended up with Kari readdy to walk out into the pit and only the timley intervention of Dries stopped her. Eventually the gardiner agreed to take a look at Kari's wounds. Taking hold of her arm he began to mutter to himself about how nasty the wound was.She soon felt faint and had to hold onto him to stop herself from falling. Then the pain came, to force out the poison her fingernails were ripped off and the foul poison began to spurt from her fingertips. Unable to contain herself Kari let out a gut wrenching scream as the pain became too much and instantly as if by reflex the guild began to attack the gardiner. Luckily he was not killed and managed to get back to Kari to check her out, unfortunatly not all the poison had left her body and some was left in her little finger rendering it immobile and numb. "It should clear up in about a month or so... maybe" he said before wondering off. Eventually Kari was informed that the thing she had thought was Amroth was a Demon and her world crashed. Just as she was begining to trust again she suddenly rebuilt the barries that the guild had been breaking down and went within herself again. Soon the guild were brought back out of the pit and Kari quietly slipped away unnoticed by the rest of the guild. She was not seen again for some weeks.

When she was seen again her finger was still useless and she was once again back to distrusting all guild members save Gizelle and to some extent Khalor, Stryke and Bly. Back where her old dreams about the people she had failed to save and back were her old suspicions. Subjected to a forced clensing and ignored when asking questions about her hand Kari grew angry at the guild and began to turn up less. Then before the summer she was subject to a horrifying vision sent by the black inquisitor, scared senceless she ran back to her home in the woods and stayed there most of the summer, terrified at what may happen. Now however she finds she wants to know the fate of her friends who went to war and so has been trying rather unsucessfully to go to the guild house when everyone else is there. She is sure the squiggles on the bord mean something telling her when to come back but she dosn't know what they mean and as she can't remember when the guild meat she has insted taken to going to the guild house every day to see if there is anyone there.

Succesfully cured of taint Kari then managed to get herself bitten by a fey and didn't tell anyone for weeks thus allowing the bite to fester, this ended with her being carted off to the life temple and kept in for well over a month. During this time she tried to make her friend Fera leave her and go and do something while she was ill as Kari believes it is not healthy to stay within stone walls for too long. Unfortunatly this worked too well and Fera simply dissapeared. Kari came out of the temple to find that all her previous friends were dead or gone including khalor who had seemingly returned from the dead but it turned out that he was no longer a tarter and so as good as dead. There were also rumors of Salamander or something like him returning in tartaria and so with no real friends left she now only lives for one thing, to prevent the return of the man who tore tartaria apart before.

Her friend Fera gone and the whole guild seeming to be against her, especially the guildmistress Kari made up her mind to travell to Tartaria during the summer. Knowing that she could well be killed on sight she also knows that she could not live with herself is she did nothing and it turned out to be Salamander. Telling the guildmistress that she would be coming with her Dane seemed to object but Kari would not back down and so she was given some rules to obey whilst in Tartaria, rules she does not intend to keep.

Kari died in the summer of 1109 in tartaria. Along with her friend Fera she sacrificed herself so that the newly forming Pheonix totem could live. With them the last true reminents of Clan Dustfox died, providing the ashes from witch the Pheonix could be reborn, allowing clan Dustfox to pass into ledgend redeming there previous bad name.
