Cailene is a social butterfly that loves to be surrounded by loved ones and strangers alike. She's a big hit at clubs, often the life of the party. She's playful, understanding, flirty, and everything that is easy to connect to. She cherishes all her friends and spoils them all the same.
However, at the same time, she doesn't really fully open herself up to anybody. She's like a storm that comes through and then leaves quietly, leaving you reeling in the aftermath with nothing solid to cling to. Leaving her mysterious to many who have even known her for years.

- Achilles heel, she can go down like someone's yelling timber when they strike her ankles.

History

Cailene was five years old when her parents moved her and her other siblings to Antioch, Vermont. She doesn't remember much of her life in Scotland, so the move to America was easy to adjust to for her and her siblings compared to her parents.
It was, for the most part, an uneventful childhood, full of happy memories and friends. Cailene was always a tomboy, she preferred climbing trees and fishing, and playing outside in the dirt with the neighborhood boys. She was a rowdy, loud, boisterous little kid that the parents of her neighborhood could hear from miles away.
There was nothing truly life-changing until when her mother passed away when she was the age of fourteen, it was a tumultuous year, one where she turned from a loud boisterous kid to a quiet reserved one. She didn't laugh as loud anymore, her grief overtaking her. The only true saving grace during those dark days was her older siblings came all the way from Scotland and stayed as the family tried to heal from the great loss.

Her older brother Lochlan and his friends were her closest circle, and they were her main joy throughout her high school years. Eventually, she realized she held a passion for cosmetology, and with support from Lochlan and her father, she worked hard to keep her grades their highest - and earned a scholarship for Paul Mitchell the school in Chicago, Illinois. It was a major move, but one Cailene longed for, and so she left the moment she graduated high school.She fell in love with the windy city, however, and remained there even after she graduated from cosmetology school. She got hired at one of the best salons in Chicago and began to work in her passion. She was there when she heard the news of her father passing two weeks before her 21st birthday, and she still remained till she earned enough to open her own shop. As the years passed, however, she couldn't help but think about her past in Antioch, her brother who she knows lives alone, and....others.After a small call with Lochlan talking about the struggles he was dealing with his shop, he mentioned in passing how he and Healani were going to check out this festival that's coming back to the town after so many years or whatever. It got Cailene thinking...
It's the year 1994, what not better time than go for a surprise visit to see everyone?

After making some phone calls with some old friends living in Antioch and getting a little more information, she managed to snatch herself an admission badge to pick up as she began making her way back to Vermont. However, she was pretty darn late, plane rides were hard to come by and she would only really make it to the last day of the Fest but hey - better late than never right?She wasn't expecting the event to be THAT popular though! She knew her brother was playing security for it but...when she finally made it to the place she couldn't find him anywhere! The hell? How do you blend an over-six-foot-tatted man within a crowd? Either way, though the festival wasn't her usual jig, it was still fun seeing what other people believed in. But now that she's trapped in the lodge with everyone else...she's a little on edge still not seeing her big brother anywhere. Or any other familiar faces in fact... Did she even go to the right festival? He's not answering her calls so...

The ForestYou're out in the wilderness, surrounded by trees that stretch infinitely up into the sky. Their branches and leaves have a thick canopy like a rooftop shading you from the sun, except for the thinnest rays of sun that peek through between the leaves when a wind brushes past. The air is fresh here as if the oxygen heals any aches and pains your body may suffer from.You hear the sounds of nature, of a river creek flowing nearby, and the songs of birds chirping their greetings to you. You wish to climb, to see the horizon at the top of these infinitely tall trees, to see the world from one side all the way to the other.... so you climb.However, after so many hours of climbing, your hands ache from the rough bark, your knees hurt from holding up your weight, and you're tired and trapped. You have no choice but to let go, to let yourself fall.You fall.... and you fall.But you never hit the ground.The CityYou feel weightless, you cannot tell if you are even still falling at this point, floating in place. When you open your eyes, you find yourself not in the forest anymore, but in the middle of a city. Suddenly, your ears are filled with the sounds of hustle and bustle - people with blurred faces rush passed you as if not noticing you laying there on the concrete sidewalk even if they make sure to walk around you.You stand up, your senses are heightened - you smell the grease of street food tempting you. You feel your heart yearn to go around every corner, you are alone in a place where thousands are around you. Once in a while, as you walk, someone walks past you and just for a second, a split second you think you see a familiar face. Someone you long for, someone you haven't seen in years. But when you chase after them, grab their arm, and turn them around...they're faceless again.You hold your hands to your ears, you calm your yearning heart. You close your eyes.The SuburbWhen you open them once more, you are in a suburb, a familiar place, the place you always wanted to return to...to stay...
Houses that are all symmetrically aligned, perfectly mowed lawns, trimmed trees, their exteriors only different colors to differentiate. It's too perfect, it's too peaceful. It's suffocating as if your life has been laid out for you. And though you wish to stay, you want to run away, as if there is an unforeseen danger that you don't recognize loitering about.
The GarageYou run to any of the houses aligned on the never-ending, always curving street, choosing a house that has a dark brown exterior and black door. You crash through the wooden entrance, but instead of seeing a regular house's interior. You're suddenly standing in an industrial, high-roof, car garage. A Chevrolet Chevelle is mounted and hoisted up on a car jack in the air, its wheels missing, and its oil latch open. The stench of motor oil hits your nose, its burning stink brings tears to your eyes...and yet you cannot see it as a negative.It's warm, as though the air here was hugging you, welcoming you home. You hear the clattering of wrenches and a static-filled radio wheezing old songs out, in the distance you hear the sound of someone whistling, but no matter what room you look in no one is with you. It leaves you with a burning in your throat, and tears lingering in your eyelashes, but no one is there to comfort you.
