The Story: [ Growing up mutant in Genosha came with few downsides for Caitlin. Her powers could be a bit inconvenient, perhaps, but being raised by Leonard Snart (strictly mostly after her mutation emerged) had helped with that, given their nearly identical power set. But they were more often a boon than a burden. She wasn't afraid to use her abilities from the very start, which quickly garnered her a reputation of being feared and admired. There were few in the nation that could appropriately cow her, and very little authority she recognized above her own. (Queen Heart being the obvious exception; she paid all respect and deference to Her Majesty.)

It would have been easy to simply skate by on her reputation and beauty. Her parents' deaths had left her with a sizable fortune, so money was also no object. But there was still her intelligence and curiosity and ambition to be sated. She worked because she chose to, because she liked seeing the accolades attached to her name. Her projects are given priority, all but rubberstamped by those in charge without a glance. Her lab boasts state-of-the-art equipment and a staff at her beck and call, whenever and wherever she needs them. Sure, there may be some rumors about what goes on in her experiments and studies, but they're typically quashed early, on account of her sterling image.

But it isn't all the high life. No, Caitlin still shops and dines and has coffee like a normal mutant girl. Sure, it's usually in and around Havershaw Heights, the most elite of the elite neighborhoods in Hammer Bay. Rumors abound in her private life as well, whispers about just how close she is with the human she keeps. Those aren't killed nearly as quick, though some of the most vocal gossips have mysteriously clammed up as of recent.

Cold feet, perhaps?

The worst kept secret is how she stalks through the human district at night. But she's part of the superior species, right? What else could be expected of an apex predator? ]
