When she was just a kitten, Carol ran away from home to join the Red Scarves, where she met Lilac and, after a brief rivalry, became best friends with her. Together, Carol and Lilac won prize money by competing in martial arts tournaments on behalf of the Scarves. However, Spade, another member of the Red Scarves, began crossing lines she and Lilac wouldn't cross (possibly murder), so they both abandoned the Red Scarves to live independently. Since then, they've been living in a treehouse hidden deep in Dragon Valley, stealing from the rich in order to survive.
