Details
Carin and her older sister had a fairly normal life growing up. Other than her obvious snow white skin, Carin demonstrated no other odd powers or abilities as a child, and loved to play baseball and run around with her sister and father, with whom she was very close. However, her father eventually left her mother, and her mother's new boyfriend and their eventual stepfather proved to be abusive to their mother and both girls. One night when their stepfather was beating their mother, Carin ran out of the house to the police station, her speed powers manifesting for the first time.
Even then it was too late; by the time she made it back to the house before the police arrived, her mother was dead, and her older syster manifested her own powers, throwing a comb unerringly through her stepfather's heart to kill him. The girls were split up, with Cassandra entering juvenile detention while Carin was put in the foster system. Her odd looks and barely controlled speed powers drew the wrong sort of attention, with a local bully holding her down when she was a young teen and forceably tattooing a large green lightning bolt over the right side of her face.
Carin's poor luck continued when AIM learned of her existence, and used their influence to take her from her foster home to be turned into a cyborg soldier. She was brainwashed, her memories supressed in preparation for her personality being replaced by obedience to AIM. Before the final procedures could be initiated, however, a sympathetic scientist disabled the tracking and control elements of Carin's implants and assisted in her escape. Now she's alone and running scared, trying to stay one step ahead of the AIM's capture squads…one led by her own brainwashed sister.
