Caitlyn Kiramman
Arcane
Caitlyn Kiramman has lived a life of privilege and wealth. Her mother is a member of the council of government in Piltover, the city of progress. From a young age, Caitlyn has nurtured an open and sympathetic heart, and is driven by the concept of fairness, disliking when she is given special treatment due to her family. She finds fulfillment in law enforcement, where she is horrified to learn of the rampant corruption in the Piltover police force. She takes it upon herself to travel to the seedy undercity of Zaun in the hopes of rooting out a crime lord and fostering a positive change between the two opposing halves of the city.
Of course, everything goes horribly wrong: her mother is killed in a retaliatory act of terrorism and the resulting hunt for the culprit (Jinx) twists Cait's morality to an unrecognizable degree. She is promoted to a general and oversees the transition to martial law. All of her well-meaning allies are absent from her at this point and she subsequently falls under the influence of a warmonger, who pushes her to further plunge the city into an authoritarian regime.
Overview Seraph fits Caitlyn well because she is essentially a well-meaning and driven person who has been caught up in a web of lies - both her own and others. At her point in canon, she is out of alignment with herself and struggling to hold it all together, with her morality being called into question in every scene. She still cares very deeply about other people, and the line between justice, being morally correct, protecting others, and vengeance is hard to navigate. For this reason, her Seraph transformation represents her emotional and mental conflict, and she will not understand or unlock her abilities until she reckons with her past deeds and finds a way to move toward while being true to herself and her beliefs.
Transformation: Feathers Cait has begun growing feathers, which are thusfar easy enough to hide. Her feathers are sparse and in line with the planes of her body: one on her collarbone, one on her forearm, that sort of thing. The feathers are white in color and long and slender in appearance.
Transformation: Eyes In the dreams, Caitlyn will eventually have an eye growing out from the back of her left hand. She cannot see clearly from it and will usually be wearing gloves to hide it. Eyes and feathers will get more frequent and multiply on her body as time goes on.
Transformation: Halo Cait does not have a halo (or wings) yet. They will likely be developed after some more time spent in Somnia.
Power: Detect Lies Cait's Seraph transformation has given her the ability to sense lies. When someone speaks a lie to her (or says something as a deflection, or is hiding something), she hears a faint ringing in her ears. This functions as a double-edged sword, as Caitlyn cannot lie (over the Murmur or in person) without hearing a deafening ringing noise that fractures her concentration and destabilizes her.
Power: Alignment Eventually (after some character progression), Cait's natural empathy will be heightened to a point where she can choose to bring herself into alignment with another character. This enables her to share their thoughts and feelings and subtly influence their words and actions, during these moments of connection (such as: calming someone from a panic attack, pushing someone to agree with her). While using this ability, her eyes glow a light blue. If she tries to use this to convince someone to do something that she feels morally conflicted about, the connection will implode and leave her weakened.
Power: Levitation Cait can levitate around 6 inches off the ground. It's more annoying than helpful, as she keeps accidentally stepping onto air and falling over. Though she may get wings at a later date, she will never be capable of true flight.
