History: Catatu was not around before or during the Great War, having replaced the guardian who had been. Catatu grew up in places too large to maintain the spawn of grey zones. She was an only child of a young single mother, the two didn't always see eye-to-eye so Catatu elected to just not be home as much as possible. She ran on heavy doses of caffeine and sleepless nights of studying, performing exceptionally well at anything to do with technology.
Fate met her on her way back to her small house from a late stay in school. Granted, people were well-advised to not do that, but admittedly she didn't care too much, not seeing much of a future ahead of her after school was over. A bad run-in with several small aggressive corruptions left her badly wounded on her left side. She was sat in a hospital for an extended stay while she tried to recover, but used her knowledge (and remaining good arm) to plan and draft functional prosthetics using experimental technology for the time. Humoring the request, the parts were constructed, assembled, and implemented as per her instructions, replacing and restructuring her left eye socket, ribcage, arm, and lower leg. The eye was installed in a future implementation.
Upon the retirement of the previous guardian around the time Catatu was about 26 (she does not know who it was), Catatu was extended the offer to take their place by Kaminari. Admittedly most of the reason she took the role was to gain the knowledge of electricity and machinery to make better biomechatronics, which she did not long afterward, and to learn more about AIs and computing which were very new at the time. Perhaps she gets away with too much, giving souls to members outside her race, to machines, and so on but Kaminari doesn't seem to mind at all. After all, Kaminari's desired host brought the both of them to the late Lycaena's basement and interacting with a large, secret mainframe computer and the antimalware program which kept it safe. Catatu chose to give souls to both the mainframe (SYSCAN) and the antimalware program (AVA-13), requesting SYSCAN take the role of Keeper before giving and "installing" the soul and AI expansion for AVA-13 once her external body was completed. During this time she was also in contact with PHO-Type 1 of Hinkley after giving him a soul and AI expansion of his own.
