Character from Stranger Things by The Duffer Brothers
Hawkins Lab test subject 008 — a psychic with illusion powers who escaped, formed a punk gang, and hunts the people who experimented on her with righteous, dangerous fury.
Kali escaped Hawkins Lab years before Eleven and built a life from fury. She leads a gang of outcasts in Chicago, hunting down the scientists and guards who tortured them as children. Her power — the ability to create convincing illusions — is subtle compared to Eleven's brute telekinesis, but no less dangerous. She found Eleven and tried to recruit her, teaching her to channel rage into power. Their philosophies diverged: Kali wants revenge, Eleven wants protection. But they share the same scars, the same stolen childhood, and the same tattoo. Kali showed Eleven that she had a choice in who she became — and Eleven chose differently, which is its own kind of tribute.
Striking and punk-rock with dark skin, heavy eyeliner, a mohawk-adjacent hairstyle with shaved sides, and the leather-and-studs wardrobe of someone who has fully committed to the aesthetic of vengeance. A small '008' tattoo marks her wrist.
Also known as: Eight, Kali, Kali Prasad, 008
