Kaitlyn was born in a small hut on the south side of the Federation of Windurst. Her Father was a wealthy man but far from just, or even half-way respectable for that matter. He had made it his career (as well as hobby) to master the art of torture and questioning. Though it officially earned him a noble title, it was never recognized as such. It was quite fitting that her mother was very submissive and quite often taken advantage of, but she did her best to raise her children.

Kaitlyn had a younger brother named Vahn, who is the only person Kaitlyn ever loved and truly respected even to this day. Often their mother would sing to her before bed. As Kaitlyn grew older, she never forgot the beautiful songs or the special feelings they evoked in her as they were sang. She hoped one day to be able to use those same melodies to bring peace to her own children or to those around her who may be suffering.

Since before her birth, Windurst was at war with the Shadow Lord. The Shadow Lord and his minions had chosen to take the entire Federation as their own. During the battle her brother was in terrible danger of being killed by Goblins. Kaitlyn grew very enraged as her brother lied there slowly dying in her arms, and for the first time, she used her White Magic to save his life. Laying him down safely on the floor, she rushed past her father who was already dead in the room, only to find her mother lying in a pool of her own blood.

Just several weeks after the incident she had taken to wandering. Her power continued to grow stronger everyday. Her and her brother had found a home with their uncle and aunt. But her presence with them was no longer necessary as they were able to take care of him by themselves. Daily, she continued to be restless and full of bitterness for the harm that had befallen her brother. She would frequently leave the home of her relatives for days at a time and set out to discover what she could about the evil that killed the rest of her family and nearly took the life of her brother.

During these times she often found herself wandering around Windurst and the outlying lands. About the time she had turned thirteen she befriended several members of the Shadow Dragons and was quickly accepted into their group. The group aided in counseling her to see that her power matured and became extremely useful. The ability to sing and heal someone is not a common thing to have.

Kaitlyn, through the years that she was in the group, gained much respect from the other members. So she has decided to put her soul up in exchange for power beyond that of a Hume's capacity. She now travels across the world trying to perfect her White Magic abilities alongside the Shadow Dragons.
