*quick info dump* Kage is Cici's shadow form. She uses Kage (pronounced Kah-gay) as a way out of reality, basically. Keeping her alter ego a secret, Cici goes through the hell that is life pretty happily. (no IDEA how she ended up with Hank, btw) Kage is barely used, and she is mad about it. Eventually, Cici and Kage separate into two different beings, leaving Kage to become HUMAN.
