Karin was born in a remote village in China and raised kindly by her family since her birth. One day, her father handed her a strange pile of clothes and a small golden rod. He told her her family's greatest secret: they are a clan of heavenly priests who were personally taught by the great Sun Wukong. As the family's eldest child, Karin is designated as the 133rd living successor of their family's craft. Although Karin doubts her father's sincerity, she dons her new title with pride. She rides away from her home atop of Sun Wukong's Candy Cloud.
