Editing Purity (section)

==History==
===Background===
Kayden went out driving for the first time when she was sixteen years old. She got into an accident on a side road and her car rolled off the road and out of sight of anyone passing by. She was trapped inside the vehicle until she began to starve, and then triggered, gaining powers that fed off of and required light.<ref name="I18" /><ref>[[Interlude 8.y]]</ref> Her delirium influenced the [[trigger event]].<ref name=SB1>'''Lexicon:''' Is Purity's light a breaker state? I thought it was just a aesthetic effect, given the rest of her doesn't seem to change.<br/>'''Wildbow:''' Breaker state.<br/>'''Wildbow:''' She's basically the subtype of breaker that goes 'Turn breaker, gain access to a powerset while in breaker state', but with contingent costs/benefits with holding the form (personal battery, in her case)<br/>'''Wildbow:''' Her trigger doesn't really work with her powerset, if she's not breaker.<br/>'''Lexicon:''' The starvation from being trapped, right?<br/>'''Teruzi:''' she eats liiight<br/>'''[[User:FossilLord|FossilLord]]:''' As crusader says second hand<br/>'''Lexicon:''' You keep blowing my mind, man<br/>'''Teruzi:''' That's, like, no calories. Very jelly.<br/>'''Wildbow:''' Sun exposure + delirium + starvation + other factors that probably played into phantom enemies for her blaster aspect<br/>'''Wildbow:''' Plus wanting to escape/go home, of course - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/30573286/ Wildbow on IRC, archived on SpaceBattles]</ref>

Kaiser would approach Purity sometime later, after she started going out in costume. With his good looks and his way with words, he convinced her of his way of thinking. At some point, she joined the Empire Eighty-Eight.

After working ten years alongside Max, Kayden married him,<ref name=":0" /> becoming second-in-command of [[Empire Eighty-Eight]].<ref name=":0" /> Eleven months into their marriage, Kayden woke up to who Max really was. She divorced Max and left the Empire, taking their daughter, [[Aster]], with her. <ref name="I3.5" /> [[Night]] and [[Fog]] left at the same time she did.<ref name=":1" />

Kayden became an independent cape<ref name=":0" /> who made the [[ABB]] a priority target.<ref name="I3.5" /> Three to five times a week, she carried out surgical strikes against the gang's low-level operations; interrupting shipments, beating up dealers and thugs, attacking their places of business and gathering information. She clashed with [[Lung]] on four occasions and [[Oni Lee]] on two and had forced them to retreat on all but one of those encounters. At one point, Lung set a trap for her, and succeeded in returning the favor; it took her two months to recuperate from all of her injuries.<ref name="I3.5" />
===Story Start===
When Kayden had read about Lung's arrest, she cleared her schedule and went out to clean up the [[Azn Bad Boys]]. She failed to get any information as to the recent changes the ABB had gone through and, out of options, sought out [[Max Anders|Kaiser]]. She eventually agreed to rejoin the Empire as his second in command on the stipulation that, if a year passed and she wasn't satisfied with his methods, she would own the Empire and he would be her second in command.<ref name="I3.5">[[Interlude 3.5 (Bonus)]]</ref>

As a member of Empire Eighty-Eight, Purity led a "sub-group" comprised of [[Fog]], [[Night]], [[Alabaster]] and [[Crusader]].<ref name="7.7" />

Her identity was revealed to the public alongside the rest of Empire-Eighty-Eight,<ref name="7.6">[[Buzz 7.6]]</ref> and her daughter, [[Aster]] was taken by child protective services.<ref name="7.7">[[Buzz 7.7]]</ref> She fought the Undersiders alongside this group.<ref name="7.9">[[Buzz 7.9]]</ref><ref name="7.10">[[Buzz 7.10]]</ref>

When Leviathan came to Brockton Bay, Purity participated in the defense of the City. At one point she blasted the beast and was able to momentarily pin him down.<ref>Leviathan slapped the teenage hero down, swiped at one of my swarm-people, then was forced down onto all fours as Purity struck him square between the shoulderblades with a column of light. - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref>
===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Following [[Kaiser]]'s death, Kayden formed a splinter group out of her friends in the Empire, called [[The Pure]]. She also started making overtures to the [[Protectorate]] trying to forge an alliance to secure the wrecked city but was rebuffed.<ref name="9.1">[[Sentinel 9.1]]</ref> She took custody of [[Theo Anders]] with the death of his father.

She encountered [[Jack Slash]] in her apartment.<ref>[[Interlude 11b]]</ref> She helped Hookwolf co-ordinate a [[Meeting at Crater Lake]] between all the hero and villain teams to oppose the Nine, using flashes of her light as signals.<ref>[[Plague 12.2]]</ref>

She was among a group led by [[Hookwolf]] that attacked the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]] while they held [[Grue]] hostage in [[Dolltown]]. Regent and Genesis led them into attacking another group of the Nine in a different building, in order to save him.<ref>[[Snare 13.8]]</ref>
===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Kayden and the Pure fled [[Brockton Bay]]. They trained Theo to defeat [[Jack Slash]], but he didn't trigger. Eventually, [[Crusader]] abandoned him, convincing Kayden that it was the only way he would grow strong enough to save the world.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/interlude-18-donation-bonus-2/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18.y]]</ref>
===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
At some point, she reached a temporary accommodation with the [[PRT]] that led to her living in an apartment with [[Aster]] under constant observation and guard. Two "plain-looking" members of her group, presumably [[Night]] and [[Fog]], were there as well.<ref>Secondary focuses.  Not the kind of targets that Dragon checked on with any regularity. [...] A temporary measure had been taken with Purity and her three year old daughter, with observation being provided for her by the PRT, and the feed showed her sitting on the couch in an apartment or hotel room, two very normal, plain looking people standing in the corner of the room with some PRT officers keeping their distance.<br/>[...]<br/>The three year old that Purity held was crying, throwing a tantrum, and the woman looked concerned.  Insignificant.  The officers had their guns drawn, but that could easily be because the two plain-looking members of Purity's circle had crossed the room to her side, to help handle the shrieking child. - [[Interlude 26.x]]</ref> Regardless, she and her team were still captured by [[Gray Boy]] and trapped in an endless loop.<ref name="26.6">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/03/sting-26-6/ Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.6]]</ref> Unlike other such victims, Kayden was not continually tortured.

===Early-[[Ward]]===
The Protectorate successor organization, The Wardens, have been committing resources to freeing people like her from imprisonment.<ref>“The Wardens didn’t ask us before they signed off on this, yet they have people devoted to idiotic things like rescuing people from time bubbles and loops. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/04/07/shadow-interlude-5-x/  Excerpt] from [[Interlude 5x II]]</ref>
