Karai's exact origins remain unknown.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Karai's past is largely unrevealed. It is known that she had a daughter, who would later become her aide within the foot, though the identity of her father's daughter is unknown. At some point, she became a top ranking official within the Foot Clan, a secret organization of ninjas based in Japan. Following the death of the Shredder, the leader of the Foot Clan in New York City, a war began within the organization. With Shredder's former Elite Guards acting out seemingly random acts of violence, Karai decided to have a truce with the Ninja Turtles in order to team up and defeat the rogue Foot Clan members.
