Editing Caryatid (section)

==History==

===Background===
Caryatid was routinely drugged by her mother to keep her quiet, alongside her little brother. At some point she triggered. Eventually, she and her brother were recovered by CPS, however her brother insisted on being separated, resenting her gaining powers.<ref name="II17.y">[[Sundown 17.y]]</ref>

She [[trigger event|triggered]] around 12 years old, the same year as her teammate [[Withdrawal]]. She met her teammates online, and dropped out of school to form a team with them, forming a close connection with them.<ref>“We got in touch online.  All of us got our powers young- it was Caryatid and me at first.  Finale a year later.  We had different names then, obviously,” Withdrawal said. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/24/beacon-8-7/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.7]]</ref> Though they faced limited success as a hero team, they did manage to stay together over the course of six years.<ref name=8.8e1>A painfully slow search online brought up some images of kid heroes with terrible costumes.  They’d been small timers before Gold Morning, small town ‘heroes’ who’d rotated between three middle-of-nowhere towns in North Dakota looking for villains or criminals.  Four years of activity and they hadn’t found any.<br/><br/>It would have been easy to dismiss them, or to disparage them.  They had dropped out of school to be heroes and had no wins.  The lack of education was clear in the spelling errors.  It worried me a bit that their referral had come from ‘Super Magic Dream Parade’, the loopy team from Boston, who had apparently heard about what we were doing and passed on word.<br/><br/>The Major Malfunctions were teenagers now and they’d been kids when they’d triggered.  They’d stayed heroes across six years, and they’d stayed together. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/24/beacon-8-7/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.7]]</ref> She was the oldest of her group.<ref name="8.8 1">The youngest one jogged over.  The oldest moved by sliding herself along the ground- like a chess piece might move, or flight that couldn’t lift her off the ground. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/28/beacon-8-8/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.8]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
She survived, but she was presumably [[Rise of Khepri|forcibly recruited]] like everyone else to end it.

===Post-[[Mathers Compound Assault|Fallen fall]]===
The Major Malfunctions were stationed near a tent city when [[Breakthrough]] contacted the Major Malfunctions to offer them to work within their growing network of hero teams.<ref>My destination was a tent city.  Most in the tent cities had already departed for more secure accommodations, but new people were coming in regularly, and there was a stubborn holdout.  As I flew over, I could see the efforts that were being made to patch the problem.  Rigid black sheets of insulation were being laid against the sides of tents with yellow fabric, tents were being moved together and connected, and equipment was being brought in- truckloads of what might have been heaters or furnaces. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/28/beacon-8-8/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.8]]</ref><ref name=8.8e1/> Caryatid was present for the team's meeting with [[Antares]] and demonstrated her power.

===Post-[[Attack on Teacher]]===
Caryatid, alongside the other [[Major Malfunctions]], helped hold the line against rioting civilians trying to enter [[Earth Cheit]],<ref name="II17.x">[[Sundown 17.x]]</ref> and was caught in the wake of [[Contessa]].<ref name="II17.y"/>

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
Caryatid was alongside [[The Undersiders]] and [[Breakthrough]] during the oversight duty of [[Titan Oberon]] and [[Fume Hood|Eve]]. Once the battle started, she was accompanying [[Lookout]] together with [[Withdrawal]], and evacuated shortly after than was done.<ref name="II18.4">[[Radiation 18.4]]</ref>

Caryatid participated in the battles against [[The Simurgh]] together with her teammates.<ref name="II20.2">[[Last 20.2]]</ref><ref name="II20.7">[[Last 20.7]]</ref>
