Editing Colt (section)

==History==
===Early-[[Ward]]===
Colt and her family lived in [[Cedar Point]]. She worked for her parents, but when business was slow and she wasn't getting paid, she began working for [[Nailbiter]].<ref name="5.2 1" /> Her family eventually disowned her, and she left to join the villains.<ref>“I don’t want trouble,” the father said.  “We can leave it at this.”<br/><br/>“If you want,” Nailbiter said.<br/><br/>“Good,” Colt said.  “Leave it and fuck off.”<br/><br/>“Don’t come home,” the father said, and his voice was hard, now.  “Don’t show your face in front of me, your mother, or Reese again.  Be her errand girl.  I’m done trying with you.”<br/><br/>Colt was silent. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/27/shadow-5-2/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.2]]</ref>

She subsequently remained with the Hollow Point villains as a henchman for the more violent group of villains. It is unknown whether she participated in the [[Mathers Compound Assault|attack]] on the [[Fallen]] compound.

===Post-[[Mathers Compound Assault|Fallen Fall]]===
Colt went with [[Kitchen Sink]] and [[Hookline]] to go after [[Kenzie]] following her appearance on TV. Kenzie recognized her from monitoring Hollow Point.<ref>“Probably.  Or kill me.  That girl over there is Colt, hi Colt.”<br/><br/>“How do you know my name?”<br/><br/>“Her mom misses the hell out of her, since she left home to go be a henchman for Nailbiter.  Nailbiter is in Love Lost’s group, and Love Lost’s group is all about violence and threats.  Protection rackets, debt collection and doing hits on people.  Sometimes hits with prejudice.  Making it hurt.”<br/><br/>The guy smirked.  Colt looked away, down the stairs. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/08/14/beacon-interlude-8-x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 8.x II]]</ref> [[Natalie]] attempted to convince her to leave the gang, but was unsuccessful.<ref>“You don’t want this,” Natalie said, to Colt.<br/><br/>“They’re up here!” Colt hollered.<br/><br/>Natalie hopped down to the stair that was broader because it turned the corner, and kicked Colt.  It helped the guy fall down a few extra stairs. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/08/14/beacon-interlude-8-x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 8.x II]]</ref>

===Post-[[Goddess' Takeover]]===
Colt acted as [[Love Lost]]'s interpreter when she met with the anti-parahuman protesters in the [[Lyme Center]].<ref>The anti-parahuman citizens having a face to face meeting with Love Lost.  Pretty clear that they knew what she was, because they seemed pretty stone-faced until Colt arrived, acting as an interpreter or representative.<br/><br/>“They might have faced the facts and realized where they stand,” I murmured, before turning my eyes back to my chip bag.  “They’re anti-parahuman, but there’s a limit to what humans can do.  They might be hiring help.”<br/><br/>Love Lost took a seat.  Colt was doing the talking, of course.  Nailbiter hung back.  The enforcer in this situation. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/11/13/polarize-10-7/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.7]]</ref> She was later present when [[Cradle]] made plans to work with Love Lost.<ref>[[Interlude 11.a II]]</ref>

When [[Breakthrough]] and the [[Undersiders]] joined up to address the cluster situation, Colt and the rest of Love Lost's group faced down a team composed of [[Imp]], [[Swansong]], [[Lookout]], and three [[Heartbroken]].<ref>Damsel, Lookout, Imp, a young girl in a black dress with white lace frills beneath, a boy with wild blond hair, cute and older, but on the nerdy side, and another boy with black hair, moody, glowering, the same age or just a bit younger than Colt.  She’d liked boys in the past and she’d really liked some boys she’d gotten to know, but she’d never really really liked boys, and she’d definitely never really really liked boys she’d only ever known from a distance. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/01/19/interlude-11-b/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11.b II]]</ref> In the midst of the fighting, she shot [[Samuel Vasil]], was disarmed by [[Imp]] and confronted by [[Florence]].<ref>…And Flor, the creepy little girl with the black dress decorated in white lace.  The girl smiled, showing a lot of small white teeth.  She limped with every step.<br/><br/>“You shot my brother,” the girl’s voice was quiet.  “Now if I do something extra horrible to you, they won’t blame me.  It’s great.  Thank you for shooting Samuel.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/01/19/interlude-11-b/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11.b II]]</ref> However, before Flor could use her power, Colt triggered with a strong power that allowed them to capture their opponents.<ref name="11.b 1">Bags over their heads, hands bound behind their backs, several with poles attached to the bindings at the hands, so they could be managed from a distance.<br/><br/>Her nose was bloody, her hand and knee scraped, and the drugs were leaving her with a strangely disappointed feeling, out of tune with the reality before her- that she had a strong power.  Just the moods swinging in the opposite direction. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/01/19/interlude-11-b/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11.b II]]</ref>

Later, she and [[Love Lost]]'s gang tried to intercept [[Antares]]'s group, but got beaten, in part due to Colt's failing resolve.<ref name="II11.11"/>

During the next night, she was captured and drained by [[Cradle]]. The following day she was arrested alongside him and [[Love Lost]].

===Post-[[Time Bubble Pop]]===
Colt attempted to help her clustermates and make the nights easier on them.<ref name="II16.10"/>

She avoided exile to the prison planet by telling Breakthrough and the Wardens (at Swansong's advice) about her cluster dreams. Despite his dislike of her, Rain said he'd be in touch.<ref>"Colt," Swansong said, raising her voice to be heard, as we'd walked a short distance away. "You have odd dreams. Stranger than any of the others."


"Yeah," Colt said. Every time it's my night, it's a different slant of everyone else's dreams, depending on my mood or how I push it. Like Cradle pushes it. Except I'm a bit better than him at it."


"That's a bargaining chip," Swanson said, and she said it to Rain, but Colt immediately moved to the corner of her cell that was closest to us. "You can sell or barter that knowledge."


[...]


"We'll be in touch," Rain told Colt, without turning around.  - Excerpt from [[Black 13.2]]</ref>

She was recruited to fight alongside [[Breakthrough]] during the second [[Wardens]]' assault on [[Teacher]]'s Compound.<ref>[[Dying 15.1]]</ref>

Together with [[Love Lost]], she managed to tear down one of the [[Saint]]'s angels.<ref>[[Dying 15.5]]</ref> She later assisted [[Rain]] in taking down [[Mama Mathers]] by doing a lot of structural demolition.<ref name="15.zII">[[Interlude 15.z II|Interlude 15.z]]</ref>

===Post-[[Attack on Teacher]]===
She helped [[Breakthrough]] during their invasion into the dream-room, attempted to negotiate with [[Cradle]], and even took some knife stabs from him to protect kids.<ref name="II16.10">[[From Within 16.10]]</ref>

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
Colt assisted [[Rain]] and the [[Patrol Block]] during the sabotage attack on [[the Shardspace]].<ref name="II19.5">[[Infrared 19.5]]</ref> And in the morning she joined the battle against the [[Fortuna]]'s [[Titans]].<ref name="II19.6">[[Infrared 19.6]]</ref>

Together with [[Love Lost]] she willingly accepted [[Victoria]]'s plague.<ref name="II20.10">[[Last 20.10]]</ref> During the Long Dream they stayed together with [[Rain]].<ref name="II20.11">[[Last 20.11]]</ref>
