Let me tell you the story of the kunoichi. Don't worry, it won't take long... ;) ...

The story starts with Auria, a princess of Aeroplane, who lived with her parents the king and queen and her little sister, princess Christa. She loves her family and is protective over Christa. She is also very confident and clever.

One day, the Queen of Fountain Falls came to visit the King and Queen of Aeroplane. Auria was introduced to Queen Reine, and they became friends. When Queen Reine was ready to leave, Auria said,

"Goodbye Queen Reine."

Reine replied, "There's no need for formality, but you can call me Sensei Reine if you'd like."

Then Auria said, "Okay, Sensei Reine."

That was the first time Auria refered to Reine as Sensei.

After Reine's departure, Auria's parents, Shou and Kani, decided to take their daughters, Auria and young Christa, down to the land below. They went over to visit Flare and her parents at the Volcanic Lands., and Auria and Christa knew Flare for a few years already at this point.

After the visit, Auria and her family were returning home when the accident happened. Auria saved Christa, and she fell over the edge of the cliffside. She was gravely injured, near death. Christa was very saddened, and Flare was brought over to help Christa and keep her mind on other things. Sensei Reine also came over with the Viporeon leaders and they went to work, along with Queen Malentha. They made Auria into a cyborg (Cynoichi!).

At first, Auria felt awkward being half robot, but Sensei Reine helped her to adjust to her new form. Then Sensei Reine had to go back home to take care of baby Raven (Raven was born two months before Reine visited Aeroplane).

Auria stood home getting used to being a cyborg, and Christa was happy to have her sister, but sad because she felt it was her fault. Flare was happy to see that Auria was alright too, and then Flare and Malentha went home.

Auria didn't mind being a cyborg for awhile, but a year later Auria realized that she would outlive her loved ones. Her heart was broken and sad. She tried to distance herself from others, and Christa became more sad by seeing her sister in turmoil. Sensei Reine came back to visit and was told that Auria had run away from Aeroplane. Reine and Kani were able to find Auria and they spoke to her.

Although she knew what would happen in the future, Auria knew that she had to take the time with her family and friends now and make the most of it, and protect the future generations as well. Auria returned home, and that's when she was called to owned the Platinum Wind fans. Sensei Reine said she would help train Auria to use the fans and Auria's parents agreed to help.

Christa was happy that her sister returned, and afterward, she would watch Auria train and try to train herself too. Auria caught Christa trying to learn, and that's when Auria decided to help train Christa.

Christa learned pretty well, and she was strong too. Yet, she still had that lingering feeling of causing Auria pain, although Kani explained that it wasn't her fault. She would sometimes take time by herself to clear her mind when she would become emotional about certain things (like her sister, her job as a princess, her training, etc.).

Then one day, Christa and Flare got into an argument and they walked away from one another. Christa was upset, but then she realized that they're argument was stupid and that they're friendship is more important (and especially because she thought about Auria's accident and almost losing her, and thought about if something like that happened to Flare, since she was like her sister too). She was able to talk to Flare to reconcile, and that's when Christa learned how to be more understanding, to control her emotions better, and to be there for her family, and friends, and the kingdom to protect them.

Afterward, she was called to receive the Platinum Sound Gauntlets of Power.

Flare is tough, outspoken, thick-skinned, and she is also caring, honest, and kind-hearted. She is also like a jerk with a heart of gold. When Flare was growing up, people of her kingdom were unsure if she would end up good like her father or bad like her mother. When Flare would act a certain way or do something, depending on what was done (like being brutally honest, or being nice to someone), people would say things like,

"Oh... so your going to be like your mother?"

"Oh! So your going to be like your father?"

"Your kind of like Malentha."

"Your more like Arun."

Flare became angered by this because all she wanted to do was be herself. She wanted to be known as Princess Flare, not Princess Arun's kid or Princess Malentha's kid. She loves her parents, and they always encourage her to be herself, yet it was hard since it annoyed Flare that people thought of her being one way or another. This explains why Flare talks back kind of rudely at times.

However, after the argument with Christa and when they reconciled, Flare realized that her family and friends are more important then what others think, that it doesn't matter what others say, and that she should live to be herself.

Also, Flare thought it was cool that Auria and Christa had the platinum weapons, so she trained harder to see if she could earn a platinum weapon (she was already being trained by her parents, but she trained with Auria and Christa under Sensei Reine too).

Then Flare was called to earn the Platinum Scimitars of Yin and Yang (Now known as the Platinum Shadow Scimitar of Umbra). She went on a slashing frenzy, and Auria and Christa were able to stop her.

Sensei Reine is Auria, Christa, and Flare's sensei. She usually would give them letters to help them train so that she could stay at home with her family, and there were times she would visit the girls and give them training to do while they were apart. Also, when the girls were older, they would go to Fountain Falls to train.

At one point, the girls were slacking in teamwork during their missions that Sensei Reine sent them on (Like fighting thieves, herding animals, fixing buildings of their lands, and etc.) So when Raven was old enough (three years before meeting Lloyd), she became the fourth member of the team. The girls were skeptical, but Raven was able to help the girls work together (although she didn't realize how much of an impact she had since she was pretty young).

As they trained and worked together for a while, Raven had started to use the Platinum Staff of Raining Water. (It didn't choose her as the official master, but Raven could still use it.)

Six months after obtaining the staff, Raven was given the Gem of Ages by a mysterious woman.

After two years, Reine was sealed in the crystal prison.

Raven went to visit her friends to see how they were doing, and because being home made her sad. However, she was still sad when she went to visit them and she ran off, but then she got lost and that's when she met Lloyd. She was happy to hang out with him. She hadn't been so happy for awhile.

After returning home, she left again because Flare needed assistance with a mission. Raven's father was skeptical, but Auria and Christa agreed to watch over Raven so he let them.

At one point, Raven sneaked away from the girls to look for Lloyd, but he wasn't at the school.

After returning to her friends, Raven went home. Her father asked Flare, Christa, and Auria how was the mission, and they accidently mentioned that Raven went missing for awhile although they found her again.

After telling the girls to go home, Terrin went to talk with Raven. She told him she wanted to visit a friend of her's, but Terrin was angry that his daughter strayed from the path and that she promised him that she would be safe and stay with the girls. However, this argument became heated, as Raven said to Terrin that he is too overprotective, and she also said that he hasn't been the same since what happened to Reine and that he's been more solemn since what happened. Terrin told Raven that she can't say one thing and do something else, a promise shouldn't be broken, and also that he doesn't want to lose Raven, and that he is the father and that she should be respectful and listen.

After awhile, Terrin told Raven to go to her room and not to go anywhere without supervision. Raven ran to her room in tears, while Terrin felt a pain in his heart as he put his hand on his face and silently cried. Raven cried in her room, but then she decided that she had to leave because staying there would result in nothing, and that it wasn't going to help her mother. Also, she remembered when her mother said,

"You choose your own destiny, but be ready for what lies ahead of your choice."

Raven fled her home, and Terrin sent the Viporeons to retireve her since he sent all of them to go and he would guard the kingdom and Reine. (He's strong enough to protect the whole kingdom alone ;) )

As Raven travelled outside the lands she knew, she met many people, but when some saw her fangs and serpant tongue, they would run, grab their kids, or they would tell her to please go to not disturb others. Raven felt the pain of being part Black Mambian, although some people were nice even when they knew what she was (which were some kids who thought it was pretty cool and some elders who didn't really care either way).

As she travelled and made it to the Sea of Sand, Raven saw darkness befall Ninjago city, and then a light appeared and purged the darkness. Raven travelled across the Sea of Sand to Ninjago city and learned about the light while avoiding the Viporeons.

At that point, was how this story began...
