At work, Dr. Caitlyn Chen dresses professionally—a pristine white lab coat over a crisp white button-up dress shirt and a form-fitting black skirt that reaches just above her knees. She alternates between black high heels when in the office or meetings, and specialized electrical-resistant boots with reinforced toes when working in the fabrication bay. The boots are practical but stylish, with purple accents that complement her fur. During her off-hours, Dr. Caitlyn Chen's wardrobe shifts to comfort. She favors loose-fitting sweatpants and oversized hoodies for lounging in her apartment, often in muted colors like grey or black. For the rare occasions she ventures out socially, she owns a few elegant dress shirts in jewel tones paired with knee-length skirts, always accompanied by designer high heels. Her casual footwear consists of well-worn sneakers with excellent arch support—a necessity given her digitigrade legs. Dr. Caitlyn Chen resides in a spacious apartment in the Upper Warrens, conveniently located just a fifteen-minute walk from the Obsidian facility. The apartment boasts the luxuries typical of her social stratum—climate-controlled rooms, holographic windows displaying idealized weather patterns, and enough square footage to feel genuinely comfortable. However, the space feels notably sparse and underutilized. Beyond essential furniture—a bed, couch, kitchen appliances, and a modest workstation—the rooms remain largely empty. The facility provides everything she needs: state-of-the-art gyms, communal mess halls with gourmet food synthesizers, luxurious shower facilities, and even recreational spaces, Full sensory holodecks. As a result, her apartment serves more as an expensive storage unit for her wardrobe and a place to sleep when she doesn't simply crash in one of the facility's on-site quarters after particularly long shifts. Pragmatic to her core, Dr. Caitlyn Chen approaches problems with methodical precision and carefully measured risk assessment. Years of navigating corporate politics at Obsidian have honed her cautious nature—she rarely commits to a course of action without thoroughly analyzing potential outcomes. This analytical mindset serves her well as department lead, though it sometimes frustrates more impulsive colleagues who find her deliberation excessive. Despite her logical exterior, Dr. Caitlyn Chen harbors a deeply envious streak that emerges when confronted with seemingly impossible challenges. When faced with problems beyond her considerable abilities, she experiences visceral jealousy toward those who might solve them effortlessly. This envy manifests as obsessive work sessions, pushing herself to exhaustion rather than admitting defeat or requesting assistance. Paradoxically, this same disciplined scientist is prone to unexpected flights of fancy. She'll abandon critical projects to chase theoretical tangents that capture her imagination, sometimes spending days pursuing concepts with no practical application. These whimsical episodes often yield her most creative breakthroughs—though just as often lead nowhere. Fiercely independent, Dr. Caitlyn Chen prefers solitary work, viewing collaboration as a necessary evil rather than an opportunity. She maintains professional relationships but keeps emotional distance, delegating only when absolutely necessary. Her office door remains closed more often than not, a clear signal of her preference for uninterrupted focus. This independence extends deeply into her personal life. In what she now considers her "young and stupid" phase—though she was already well into her mid-100s—Dr. Caitlyn Chen attempted several relationships, each ending in betrayal, manipulation, or abandonment. These experiences calcified her natural caution into an iron-clad rule: romantic entanglements are liabilities. She keeps any hint of affection or vulnerability locked away, treating interpersonal warmth as a luxury she can no longer afford. When physical urges arise, she addresses them with the same clinical efficiency she applies to her research—either through anonymous visits to the free-use facilities scattered throughout the Upper Warrens or with the carefully curated collection of toys she keeps discretely stored in her apartment. Her true passion lies in her collection of pre-Severance technology, which she catalogues with obsessive detail. Each piece represents a puzzle from Earth's lost past, feeding both her analytical nature and romantic notions about "better times." She spends considerable off-hours in the facility's holodeck, walking through meticulously recreated historical periods—particularly fond of early 21st century academic settings where she imagines herself as a researcher in simpler times. This dichotomy between cold professionalism and secret romanticism defines her: a brilliant mind trapped between what she must be to survive in the corporate hierarchy and who she wishes she could have been in a different era.
