BACKGROUND: Minerva is on the young side for a Shinjin, having been born from the Kaiju Tree less than a million years ago. Even in her oldest memories, she was always interested in mortalkind and the world they inhabited. This interest was shared with her duty as a Treetender, one of many Kai who tend to the Kaiju Tree and ensure that healthy Shinjin are born.

This job led her to become apprenticed to an ancient Shinjin, who taught Minerva how to tend to the tree and gave the Kai her first real look at the mortal world through his crystal ball. Minerva was obsessed with watching the mortals immediately. She enjoyed watching them build their civilizations and learn to get along with one another. However, as any who are familiar with mortals would know, there was just as much violence and hatred as there was peace and cooperation.

As Minerva whiled away the years tending to the Kaiju Tree while occasionally stealing glimpses of the mortal world, she began to feel a wanderlust that pushed her to get out there and not only learn about mortals, but also help guide them towards peace and enlightenment in a way only a being with the wisdom of millenia could. In the many thousand of years she spent watching the mortals, she grew fascinated with one species in particular; Namekians. She watched their species grow from their early years to what they are today, and Minerva viewed them as the pinnacle of what mortalkind has yet to achieve. Their peaceful, communal lifestyle, their wise sages and honorable warrior class, and their general way of co-existing peacefully alongside nature impressed the young Shinjin and led to her spending a lot of her time watching them.

The more time she spent watching, however, the more she felt that the Namekian way of life was being threatened. To the north, she saw great villains rise and the eyes of the rest of the mortal world began turning on the peaceful little backwater. Eventually, watching wasn’t good enough for her. She had many abilities that she felt could be useful to the mortals as well as wisdom that she felt they could benefit from. If her people didn’t intervene in these affairs and guide the mortals more directly, then they would be guided by the forces of darkness instead. She was unwilling to let this happen. From that day forward, she vowed to help the Namekians and all of mortalkind reach a new era of peace and enlightenment.
