Kaitlyn Kaneenawup (maiden name "Kaitlyn Spell") is an ex criminal who is now working as a Lieutenant with Eastern Sherriff's Office.

## Early Life

Kaitlyn grew up on a ranch in Australia with her mother, father and her older brother.

At the age of 6 Kaitlyn's mother, Abigail Spell, passed away from typhoid. With her passing left a hole in the family that could never be repaired. Months passed and her father, Thomas Spell, began to seek comfort in liquor. His addiction grew as time passed.

Kaitlyn and her brother, Philip Spell, tried their hardest to help him but he continued to slip further away into a man that would soon become unrecognizable to the both of them. The two of them worked hard to keep the ranch running at a young age, as Kaitlyn got older Philip allowed her to do more on the ranch. Without the help they got from ranch hands, the ranch would have fallen a long time ago. They were managing to make enough money to keep the ranch functioning from breaking in horses and selling them to other ranches as work horses, as well as producing dairy from cattle.

Years passed and soon Kaitlyn was 17, her brother being 19. She found out that Philip had been incriminating himself by sneaking out at night and pickpocketing rich folk and trading them in for cash when he came home all bruised and bloodied. He was forced to tell her the truth that this had been what had kept them afloat for so long. He was afraid Thomas would find out and react negatively so they agreed to keep it a secret and never speak about it again.

After turning 23, Kaitlyn and Philip got into a major altercation with Thomas. They were tired of running a ranch for a man who was no longer grateful or someone they knew. Philip had dragged him outside and yelled at him to look around him and to see everything they've done for him. Thomas didn't say a word, he looked out blankly before retreating back inside.

Later that night, he burnt everything they had worked for to the ground. The barn was alit and the paddocks were open. Kaitlyn and Philip ran outside to see the man smiling devilishly. She yelled at him and shoved him before she was punched. Philip launched at the man, the two fighting. Kaitlyn jumped to her feet and grabbed Philip's arm before a single gunshot rang out. That's when Philip stumbled backwards, clenching his gut before falling down. Her father held his revolver in his hand. Kaitlyn immediately grabbed Philip's gun from his holster and shot the man, murdering him.

Kaitlyn had buried her Father and Brother alongside her Mother, mourning them until sunrise. Once the sun began to rise, she fled the ranch knowing that the smoke would draw unwanted attention. She soon left Australia, seeking a new life in the Commonwealth.

## Arrival in the Commonwealth

On November 8th 1901 Kaitlyn stepped foot off of the train in Rhodes, the town she never expected to become her home but in a few months would. She began to consider the only two things she knew as a way to make money: ranching or crime. She wanted to leave the ranching life behind, it died with her family. She saw no other choice but to seek an income the way her brother once did.

She went and got herself some new clothes, meeting a fiery red-haired woman inside briefly. As Kaitlyn was trying on a new shirt, her vision began to become blurred before falling unconscious. She soon awoke, the lovely Nancy standing over her, along with the red-haired woman she had just met. As Kaitlyn was about to ask what had happened, a passerby intruded on them, asking what had happened. The woman explained that Kaitlyn had happened to somehow fall over and choked herself out on a coat hanger. Kaitlyn immediately became suspicious of this story however went along with it, not wanting to get the woman into any trouble. The passerby had soon left to which Kaitlyn questioned the woman about it. The woman insisted that that was what had happened. Kaitlyn knew the woman was lying through her teeth, but she didn't push further. She introduced herself to which the woman introduced herself as Annabelle Reed. From that day, a life long friendship had formed.

As the two became closer, Annabelle made it clear to Kaitlyn that she was not a law abiding citizen at all. Annabelle had feared Kaitlyn would have an issue with this however she did not. The two began to do crime together, just the two of them. They started out as grave robbers, selling their heirlooms and goods to the Black Market as an income. They resided in Van Horn, always meeting there after jobs or to discuss ideas.
