Bio: Yalimi is the general of the Reinkani royal army and the mother of Intari. And though she may look like a stoic stern-faced warrior, she has a kind-hearted, understanding, and surprisingly humorous side.

Yalimi grew up in a small village in Botswana Africa alongside her adopted sister, the then before Queen Uvel. Their village was one of the old traditional ones where the men did the work and the women were relegated to house work, but both wanted to do more. Uvel wanted to be a healer and Yalimi wanted to be a warrior, but her father, Akanyang, forbid them from doing so as it went against the village tradition. The two tried to prove themselves, especially Yalimi, but Akanyang remained stubborn and in her teenage years, Yalimi finally confronted him about it and he yelled that she would never be a warrior and same went for Uvel. This became the last straw for both her and Uvel and the two ran away, with Yalimi disowning her father.

The two traveled the world, Yalimi learning many fighting styles and Uvel learning many mystic forms of healing. Eventually two made their way to Reinkani where Uvel healed Princess Simbala (Bisp's mother) and caught the eye of Crown Prince Kahno. Yalimi joined the royal army, becoming the first woman to do so, where she met her future husband Kai. She rose up the ranks until she became general, before she then gave birth to Intari. When her daughter became a member of the Guardians, Yalimi was very proud.

She first appeared in Chapter 2 of Reinkani Forever, where she informed Queen Unna about the string of thefts happening. She also expressed her hesitancy at allowing outsiders like the Ninjas to help out. She also teased Yod about his crush on Rainbow, telling him not to freeze up when he saw her.
