As she got older she made several escape attempts, on one of which she found her file with her birth name and origin on it. She'd been just one of many kids in an orphanage in one of the poorest districts of the city. They hadn't even had to steal her, just pay the right person. She finally succeeded on her third attempt, only to land herself in the middle of the gang warfare that was constantly ongoing in the shadier side of the city.​ < / >​ . . . but are you t r u l y free?​

When she was old enough she managed to make a case to allow her to attend university, where she got a degree in Art History. Upon her graduation she was greeted with the news that it was time to find a witch for her, and that her parents had been interviewing potential families to see who would be best suited.

But one night not long after she turned sixteen she found herself out in the woods on a dare and got bitten by a wild animal. After a visit to the emergency room, and collecting her winnings from her friends, she didn't really think about it again. Until a month later on the next full moon. The first transformation was agonizing, but that was nothing to waking up in the ruins of her home with the bodies of her family around her. She ran, not knowing what else to do, and didn't stop running until she was deep in the Cascade mountains and as far from people as she could get. She had no intention of making a life for herself out there, but somehow she did. She built a small, lopsided cabin against a large tree and used half remembered lessons from camping trips and books she'd read to set traps for fish and squirrels alike. Slowly over the years she adjusted to the loneliness and isolation, and grew comfortable with her day to day existence. The only snag was her monthly transformations, but at least this far out she never hurt anything bigger than a bear.​ < / >​ . . . but i don't think i d e s e r v e it.​

As a result she has an apartment in most major cities, though if you were to check the records you'd never find the paperwork under her name, and is quite happy to bring beautiful women back to them when she's in town long enough to socialize. She likes to take control in those situations, enjoying rope play and having dominance over the situation. Though a daring woman may attempt to turn the tables on her someday.​ < / >​ . . . but i don't t r u s t any.​

But she had a knack for combat and strategy that meant she was the perfect sort of student for what the Jedi were becoming. In an attempt to temper her rougher edges they assigned her to a more studious Jedi whose focus was on refugee safety in the outer rim throughout the war. She faced combat but was never meant to be in the thick of it. The only problem with that is that war breeds crime, especially in refugee camps. While tracking down a smuggling operation Kai's master was killed and she was captured by a vicious crime lord. She watched her clone troopers die in front of her and faced torment at his hands before finally escaping. Just in time for the purge. All Kai could do then was go into hiding and try to make sense of how it all went wrong. Now, years later, she has her own ship and works as a general mercenary for hire. There's not much she won't do and she has a disdain for those who romanticize the time before the Empire or the Jedi themselves.​ < / >​ . . . somehow i a l w a y s do​

The day she turned eighteen she left home with just a bag of clothes, her guitar, and hope for a better life. She ended up drifting up and down the east coast, couch surfing with acquaintances and strangers alike as she played her music on street corners and in bars.

This time she went west, and eventually settled in Los Angeles where she got her big break when an agent saw her playing at a coffee shop one lazy Sunday morning. She put out a single with their record company, started working on her first major album, and used the signing bonus from the label to buy herself a little beachfront condo where she could work on her writing in better conditions than her old apartment.​ < / >​ . . . it's my t h i n g ​

One such measure included the Lockwood Home for Children, where orphans are trained to fight from childhood and the best of them are gifted their founder's name. Reid was one of those hunters, churned out by an unforgiving system. She was reprimanded often for her bad attitude, but she got the job done and her record spoke for itself. So despite her history of acting out and talking back, she was given the Lockwood name in recognition of her skill. Now she's out on her own, hunting when she gets assignments from the people in charge but otherwise just trying to scrape by with the measly expense account they allow her access to. It's barely enough to keep her shitty car's tank full and get her a motel room on the same night. After all, they don't want their hunters to grow comfortable and complacent on the job and try to encourage them to return to base between hunts in order to keep an eye on them.​ < / >​ . . . are you f l i r t i n g with me?​
