¶ Zai Ji, Calamity Rising
Zai Ji is a Character in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT.
A heart bereft of soul, wields a blade of merciless blaze.
Zai's life is defined by pain and struggle.
After a prophecy warned she would bring about great calamity, her parents sold her to human traffickers.
She spent years in their hands before escaping to the Annica, an elite clan of assassins who recognized her potential for darkness and violence.
They trained her to be the ultimate killing machine, and though she was denied the vengeance she initially wanted, she's found the next best thing: destroying everything good and pure in the world.
