kind or kindly

In another montage, a kindly woman and child anchor the image, like archetypes of tenderness; hovering above them, however, is a malevolent presence, a kind of maniacal demon who seems attracted by their vulnerability. In this sentence, Is it kind or kindly woman and child? Please advise.
