Kay Challis

## Background

### 1993 - 2012: Kay Challis

Kay Challis grew up in a household with just her father. She never knew what happened to her mother & her father refused to tell her. She stopped asking as the last time she did was the same day that he began sexually abusing her.

Afterwards, Kay withdrew from everything & was replaced by one of her personalities, "Miranda." However, Miranda became a victim of an attempted rape while attending church at twelve years old. The crime triggered flashbacks to her father & led to the destruction of the "Miranda" personality as it was too much to handle. With Miranda gone, Kay went on to develop 24 different personalities. With everyone thinking she was crazy, Kay was committed to a psychiatric hospital. The hospital began to conduct experiments of Kay as they were fascinated with her personalities. Though their mission was scientific research, the experiments would eventually result in the awakening of her meta-gene.

In 2007, Kay eventually met another patient named Cliff Steele. He began to look out for her as he could see she was suffering in her own way. When Niles Caulder came back to get Cliff, he asked him to take Jane with her. After seeing the girl & the powers she developed, Kay became a member of the Doom Patrol. Having no place to go, Kay also moved into the Caulder Mansion along with the rest of the team.

The next year, Kay came to the mansion but was currently displaying the personalities of Penny Farthing & Hammerhead, two of her opposite personalities. It made thing a little difficult as people were unsure how to act with her. And due to Hammerhead's nature, they would later catch attitudes upon her now manifesting Penny Farthing which resulted in her being even more nervous than usual. She didn't feel close to anyone other than Cliff as he was the reason she got to leave that hell of place & had a home to go to.

Kay suddenly left after only being at the Caulder Mansion for around a year. She kind of just vanished, though Penny Farthing was able to write some version of a goodbye note. No one knows what Kay did or where she went (even Kay herself) but eventually she turned back up at the mansion in the summer of 2012 with a friend.
