 APPEARANCE    average height and well-muscled, kitty is built to be quick and pack a punch, if anyone gets their hands on her. she has naturally dirty blonde hair, which she often keeps dyed a lighter blonde, similar to that of hollywood starlets of the old world. it's often kept long - around her shoulders her below. her face is angular with a softness to her cheeks, pouting lips and deep blue eyes ringed by long lashes. her fashion taste trends towards old world beauty; she loves dresses and heels (especially a good boot) and crinkles her nose at the idea of putting armor on.  FACECLAIM    kathryn newton.

 PERSONALITY    kitty's natural flair for the dramatic can either make her the most fun friend to have at your side or a chronic nuisance. with kitty, everything is exciting, harrowing or heartbreaking. she's always at 100, never playing about in shades of gray or half measures. life is meant to be lived, whether one lives in the lap of pre-war luxury or in the dirt of the wasteland. she can be rather vain, needing her hair and makeup to look presentable at all times. seeing her with a fully bare face is unlikely and, those that do, are often her closest friends or those that dare encounter her after her most recent romance gone awry. she's a bit of a chronic dater, often thinking new encounters are love at first sight. always, her relationships end in tears (her own), and she swears off love before falling right back into it. that said, she is a loyal friend and a good confidant, despite first appearances. she's an excellent secret keeper and, surprisingly, not much of a gossip. she's too enamored with her own life to worry much about anyone else.

  HISTORY  

kitty doesn't know where she came from. her life began the day she was dropped in little lamplight by caravan traders. as a toddler, she was taken in by the group of fellow orphans and dubbed "kitty" by the other children in reference to the clothing she arrived in: a worn, oversized t-shirt with a kitten on the front. from there, she grew up like all kids in little lamplight do, without adult oversight, an abundance of independence, and her sixteenth birthday looming over her head like a storm cloud.

during her time in lamplight, kitty served as entertainment. she happily put on shows for her friends and took a particular interest in singing and dancing. alongside bittercup, who she viewed as an older sister figure in some ways, she learned to do makeup with what the wasteland had to offer. she also learned the basics of survival, including how to shoot a gun (and keep it maintenanced/cleaned), the basics of reading and math, and whatever else the group of kids managed to teach each other. 

by the time she turned 16, kitty knew one thing, she did not want to go to big town. even if it was safer since the lone wanderer's foray into the wasteland, the idea of becoming super mutant food terrified her. that, and she wanted to put her talent to good use ... something she wasn't going to be able to do amongst her destitute adult peers. so, rather than go to big town, she ventured further east, headed for rivet city. it was at this time that she took on the last name "eden" in an attempt to emulate the unique names of starlets of the past. the name had stuck with her from the days of the enclave eyebots floating about, talking about some president. she thought she could represent the last name much better than he had.

while she didn't quite find the life of luxury she hoped for, the completion of project purity had brought more settlers -- tourists and otherwise -- to the area, meaning she could make a few caps performing in the marketplace a couple times a week. by day, she waited tables at gary's galley, developing a bond with angela staley. though she attained relative success (at least by the standards of most adults forced from little lamplight) she grew a bit bored of life in rivet city. it was too predictable and easy. she often heard travelers speak of the commonwealth and began to wonder if she might find more adventure in a place not so hollowed out by nuclear war.

it took her several years to fully work up the courage to leave her comfortable life in rivet city behind, but, at the age of 22, she made the leap, tagging along with a caravan headed to boston. she began her time in the commonwealth in diamond city, trying to sing in the market for spare caps (and hoping a wealthy benefactor might sponsor her further improvement). ultimately, her repeated warnings for solicitation of caps got her kicked from the great green jewel.

these days, she spends her time in goodneighbor, singing wherever they let her, and getting by on her savings from the capital wasteland.
