Kinshara grew up in the coastal village of Owarisu on the western edges of the Laughing Jungle among the Bonuwat tribes. Her father Pariwa was claimed by the sea shortly before her birth, leaving her oldest brother Bapsapi to provide for the family. Kinshara dreamed of growing up to join her brothers in fishing the ocean to help her family earn a living and was entranced by the sound of the waves. Paliwe, the second son of the family, entertained the young girl by teaching her the basics of sailing.

When she was twelve years old, Kinshara was sailing with her friend Risala when they encountered foreigners sailing on the waters outside their village. The woman leading the group introduced herself to the girls as Evalice Sardrani, and the pair were immediately charmed by the exotic lady. Explaining that she had come in search of their village, Evalice offered each of them a finely crafted bronze ring if they would guide her to their village. Seeing no harm in introducing the elegant woman to Owarisu, the friends agreed.

When they arrived, Evalice sought a meeting with the tribal elders and offered them gifts of gold to be allowed access to the tribal burial grounds a short distance inland. The Bonuwat elders were not so primitive as she had supposed, however, and recognized her offering as a relative pittance and knew of the disreputable nature of her Aspis Consortium organization. Moreover, they informed her that outsiders were not permitted in their ancestral burial grounds and that their village's traditions were not for sale. A heated argument ensued, and the tribe threw Evalice out of their village.

Two months later, Evalice Sardrani returned to Owarisu at the head of two dozen mercenaries in the middle of the night. After setting fire to buildings on the village's outskirts, the mercenaries drove the panicked women and children toward the ocean, where many were taken as slaves. Kinshara saw her brother Paliwe and her sister-in-law Xa'uri run through as they attempted to fend off the Aspis marines before she was captured. Evalice thanked the young girl for leading her to Owarisu and took back the bronze ring as the mercenaries loaded her into the slave ship.

After being transferred to gnoll slavers, Kinshara saw Risala sold again to Shackles pirates. The gnolls failed to sell her again in Rahadoum before setting sail for Absalom with thirty other slaves. Malnourished, beaten & grieving the loss of her family, Kinshara fell into a hopeless stupor during the long voyage. Her fate turned again, however, as the gnoll ship was attacked twenty miles away from Absalom by Eagle Knights who slew the gnolls and pronounced freedom to the prisoners. Caught up in her depression and unable to understand her rescuers, Kinshara barely noticed.

Her rescue finally began to seem real when she saw the docks of Almas. After the Eagle Knights found a translator, they informed her that they were unable to return her to the Mwangi Expanse and that her slave contract had been purchased by a merchant in Absalom before the slavers left Rahadoum. Out of necessity, she would remain in the borders of Andoran as a refugee. Lost among strange people in a strange land, Kinshara gathered her courage and set about learning Taldane and the customs of her new hosts. A charitable organization arranged for a new home for the young girl with an older couple in Riverford nearby. Though grateful for their efforts to help her, Kinshara never grew close to her caretakers and left her new home at the age of eighteen to seek her own fortunes.

Kinshara's found herself in Falcon's Hollow, working for Laurel at the Roots & Remedies as a clerk. Within a few months, she found her stay in the town intolerable. She left her work, paying the relevant fines to terminate her contract early, after which she sought employment working on a river barge.
