Preecha “Ka” Klahananong is a follower of the Dance of the Thrashing Dragon active in Bangkok. Her nickname “Ka” is shortened from “kà-nŏm”, which means sweets. In Hong Kong the english speaking members of the supernatural community know her by “Pancake”. She is Alastar Mac Caoileann's teacher in the Dance of the Thrashing Dragon, whom she met during his time in Hong Kong.

Contrary to most adherents of the Dance of the Thrashing Dragon, Ka is unusually reserved. This is reflected in her appearance. Instead of the abundant dress customary for Laughing Rainbows, she often wears a vibrant red Qipao, with her long black hair held up with two lacquered black wooden hairpins, each pin featuring a red tassel.

Cantonese is among the languages Ka has mastered, in part due to her efforts to evict the Cainates from Hong Kong to retake the city for the Flame Court.
