Backstory:

Early Life
Cait was born on August 5th, 2280 in Boston, Massachusetts to Erin and Sean O'Brien. Growing up, Cait didn't have a loving family, her mother and father routinely shouted and beat her, and on some occasions due to alcoholism, her father would give her cigarette burns. While it wasn't clear to Cait at the time, her father, Sean, conceived her from another girl when in his college days, and gained custody of her after her biological mother committed suicide from what she perceived and feared would be an end to her college career; an event, to the estranged father, drove him to alcoholism. Nevertheless, he married childhood sweetheart Erin, who unfortunately didn't recognize Cait as a daughter by relation, but kept her piece for the time being, mentally abusing Cait all the while. and Nevertheless, Cait just assumed that, despite all the abuse, her parents loved her enough not to kick her out of the house. however, by the time she reached her preteen years, her life began to change for the worse.

Teenage Years
Cait's teenage years were a time of complete turmoil to say the least. Aside from the common abuse she received from her parents, she was starting to become a victim of bullying, not only because of her "bastard" status, but because of her tall height, which led to some teasing that she was a boy from some of her peers. Despite the bullying, Cait had enjoyed some small amounts of high school success, motivated by the offers that she could live her own life in college with the help of scholarships and academic prowess, Cait worked hard in her studies with the best she could in her circumstances; she attended tutoring regularly, and attended extracurricular activities such as joining clubs, like the Irish Step dancing Club, the Drama club, the Human Rights Campaign Club, and a club she considered key, the Gay-Straight Alliance club. By the time Freshman year came to a close, she was what teachers considered as "A well promising student.", additionally, she found her first love, in a girl named Susanna Thompson.

Sophomore year came around, and Cait became more cautious of herself at home. Listening to one of their drunken ramblings, Cait found out that her parents weren't warm to the idea of homosexuality/bisexuality. In turn, when she announced, at a time when her parent's weren't drunk nor ignoring her, that she was in a relationship, she was tactful to say that it was a boy and that she wasn't ready to show him her parents yet, much to her parent's reluctant approval. Things went for the turn of the worse by the time Christmas holidays came around, however. A week before the holidays began, Cait was caught by a proctor when she was committing PDA with Susanna, despite her urgings not to notify her parents of the true nature of her relationship, the news reached her parents. By the time Cait returned home, she came out to her parents, only for them to yell at her and call her things such as a "Useless dyke bastard!" before they finally kicked her out of the house. Lost, alone, and desperate, Cait managed to somehow wander into Susanna's house, where she was able to stay for the remainder of her high school career.

Two weeks into 2nd semester, and Cait's parents had her surrender forms signed into court, naturally Susanna's family took her in, caring for a girl who now had nothing to go home to for a time. From her grief of the betrayal and the loss of her so called "Caring Family" Cait pushed herself to keep working in high school, balancing school with a job to earn herself some money to support herself and to give herself a sense of accomplishment. She began to become fascinated with the idea of going into law enforcement, but most of all, to engineering, at the suggestion of her math teachers. She signed up for the STEM program and joined a drafting class to prepare herself for her career, driven by the hopes of building better homes for the masses, so that families like hers wouldn't have to worry about having a roof over their heads ever again. Although there were some times where she had considered ending her life due to stress or to bullying, she simply thought of other people her age, facing a situation similar, if not worse than, hers. Despite the bullying, despite the hardship, the tears, and the betrayal and the loss of her family, Cait finally was able to graduate two years afterward, though, not without flunking a few math and science courses, and a period of time where she was held for three days in a mental hospital after a suicide attempt.

Despite the financial aid, the money she earned from her job, and some money given to her by Susanna's family from what they could spare, Cait was still short of money to actually attend a college and pay tuition. After some talks with her guidance councilor, and from different branches of the Mobile Infantry recruitment office, Cait decided to enlist into the Combat Engineer Division to not only gain some money to attend college, but to also get some first hand experience on the field as a engineer. With her final decision, Susanna and Cait finally had to part ways, while Cait was joining the Mobile Infantry in order to join the Combat Engineers, Susanna was looking into a school for fine arts. And so, Susanna and Cait tearfully said their last goodbyes, Susanna boarding a plane to San Francisco, and Cait boarding a bus to basic training.
