==Biography==
Caitlyn was born into the Kiramman Clan, one of the most powerful families in Piltover, whose matriarch, Cassandra, served on the ruling council of the city. From a young age, Caitlyn felt disappointed in her wealthy lifestyle, yearning for more in life. One day, Caitlyn competed against Piltover Sheriff Grayson in a shooting match. While Caitlyn ultimately won, she noticed that Grayson intentionally didn't shoot. When Caitlyn asked Grayson if she was paid by her parents, Grayson instead opted to tell her that she thought she deserved it. She then talked about how using her gun was to protect the citizens, before asking Caitlyn what she was shooting for.
Eventually, the Kiramman would become patrons for an aspiring student named Jayce Talis, with whom Caitlyn would develop a close friendship with. During Vi's robbery, Caitlyn was present and witnessed Jayce be knocked out. Later, when the council debated on whether to expel Jayce for his dangerous equipment, Caitlyn asked her mother not to. Later on, When Jayce attempted to apologize to the Kirammans, Caitlyn talked to him about how her father asked her not to talk to him as he is a "misfit", before saying that she feels she is a misfit, before her mother asks her to come inside.
Years later, Caitlyn would enlist and join the enforcers, much to her mother's dismay. Caitlyn was routinely mocked by the fellow enforcers, who had a background of much higher standing compared to her, and had a complex relationship with the new Sheriff, Marcus. On the 200th anniversary of the city, Caitlyn is posted as a guard outside her mother's tent, much to her dismay, but chooses to leave. She comes across the wreckage of a ship run by Silco's goons, and finds one of them still alive, only for Marcus (who is secretly working for Silco) to arrive and ask her to leave. During the night, Caitlyn and other enforcers are posted outside Viktor and Jayce's workstation, when a fire breaks out. The enforcers arrive, only to discover the fire to be a trap by Jinx, who causes an explosion, killing most of the enforcers save for Caitlyn, who witnesses Jinx break into the building. The incident causes Caitlyn to realize she has a clue to investigating the Undercity, only to be informed by Jayce that he is now a council member, and that Caitlyn has been fired from her job. Behind the back of her parents and Jayce, Caitlyn goes to Stillwater Prison to interrogate the criminal she found on the ship, only to discover he has been beat brutally by an inmate.
Caitlyn goes to see this inmate, who turns out to be Vi, who proceeds to mock her as a criminal in a fancy uniform but recognizes the work of her sister. She promises to help Caitlyn should she be released, which Caitlyn is initially skeptical about, though she agrees and falsifies a form from Jayce to let Vi go. Upon arriving, Vi beats up two Undercity denizens to steal their clothes to help them blend in, and goes to a chef named Jericho to gain information on Silco. The information leads them to a brothel, where Vi talks to Caitlyn about how she expects people to just give her everything, and tells her that she should use her sexiness to get information. Caitlyn then poses as a prostitute, while Vi goes to find information about Powder. Caitlyn then rescues Vi from Sevika by shooting the weak spot in her mechanical arm, before carrying her to a safe spot.
The two arrive in the lowest slums of Zaun, in what turns out to be Vi's old house. With Vi near fatally wounded, Caitlyn searches for a way to heal her. She comes across Huck, a Shimmer addict who leads her to an apothecary who offers Caitlyn a vial of Shimmer in exchange for her gun. Caitlyn hands it over, embraces Huck, and brings the shimmer back to Vi, who is almost instantly healed. Vi then reveals to Caitlyn that she is looking for her sister, and that their parents were murdered by enforcers. However, Silco, who bribed Huck with more shimmer, arrives attempting to capture the two, only for Vi to punch the center of the structurally unsound building, causing it to collapse allowing Vi and Caitlyn to escape. During this, Vi witnesses Jinx light the flare she gave her as a child, and follows it to find her sister, causing the two to embrace, However, Caitlyn arrives, causing Jinx to realize that Vi is with an enforcer, and Caitlyn to realize Vi's sister is Jinx. However, in the midst of their confrontation, the Firelights attack, knocking Caitlyn and Vi out and taking them to their lair.
There, Vi and Caitlyn have a heated confrontation about the lies they told each other, before Vi is taken to meet the leader, who turns out to be her old friend Ekko. Vi convinces Ekko to let Caitlyn return to Piltover. She then has an argument with Ekko, who reveals that the Enforcers are paid to hunt the Firelights by Silco and asks her what the Gemstone is. Caitlyn explains the true purpose of the Gemstone, and proposes they take to the Council. Ekko initially refuses, believing that the gemstone can allow him to beat Silco, but Caitlyn explains that should that happen, the cycle of violence will merely continue and that returning it to the council is the only way to help the city. Ekko concedes, on the condition that he gives it to the council. On the bridge connecting Piltover and the Undercity, Vi opts to return to the undercity, still hoping to save her sister. However, Caitlyn and Ekko are confronted by Marcus, who shoots Ekko and holds Caitlyn at gunpoint as he attempts to retrieve the Gemstone. When Vi hears the gunshot and returns to help her friends, Jinx, who has been watching from above, unleashes a swarm of robotic butterflies that explode, injuring Caitlyn and killing Marcus and his enforcers. Vi returns to help Cait, but they are confronted by a jealous Jinx, who attempts to murder Caitlyn. She is stopped by Ekko, who gives the cannister supposedly containing the gemstone to Vi and Caitlyn, before facing Jinx.
However, it turns out that Jinx had the gemstone the entire time, forcing the two to go to Caitlyn's house. Caitlyn's mother and father arrive, where Caitlyn introduces Vi. She then converses with her parents in private, while her father removes the shrapnel from her leg, and reprimands her mother for the actions of the council, convincing her to let Vi and Caitlyn talk to the council about the gemstone. Caitlyn reveals this to Vi, who laments that she has failed her sister, and remembers a childhood memory of the two playing. The two later arrive at the council, who are processing Marcus's betrayal. Caitlyn explains that he was under the control of Silco, who seeks to turn the Undercity into its own nation separate from Piltover called Zaun, while Vi reveals that Jinx invented the grenade. However, most of the council are unwilling to go to war, save for Jayce, causing Vi to storm out of the room. Caitlyn attempts to convince Vi that there can be another way, but Vi states that things can't change, and that the two of them are "oil and water". Later that night, Caitlyn takes a shower, unable to forget about Vi, only to witness Jinx's monkey symbol on her mirror, realizing too late that Jinx is there.
Caitlyn is kidnapped by Jinx, and awakes in an abandoned factory alongside Vi and Silco. There, Jinx forces an ultimatum to Vi: Kill Caitlyn and have Powder back. When Vi refuses, Jinx attempts to kill Caitlyn herself, only for Vi to apologize and say they can still leave. Silco attempts to convince Jinx that Vi is lying, and during the conversation, Caitlyn uses a broken glass to free herself. She takes Jinx's minigun and points it at her, telling her to drop the gun. Vi begs her not to, as Jinx is her sister, to which Caitlyn responds that Jinx is too far gone. Though Jinx puts down her gun, she uses her new Shimmer abilities to take the minigun and knock Caitlyn out. Caitlyn awakes only after Jinx has killed Silco and aims her rocket at the council. She is carried outside by Vi, and screams upon realizing her mothers death.
==Personality==
Caitlyn, above all, is shown to be an altruistic and kind person. In spite of the prejudice aimed towards members of the Undercity, Caitlyn is willing to let Vi out of prison and help her. Owing to her wealthy lifestyle, she had a desire to prove herself without her wealth, much to her mother's dismay. This is best shown when Grayson allows Caitlyn to win at their shooting game, at which point Caitlyn accuses Grayson of having been paid by her parents. She also has excellent deductive abilities, despite being extremely naive to the problems faced by the Zaunites.
