Kitt's origins trace back to the distant moons of the Libra Cluster. Born in a small, tight-knit community of space sailors aboard the ship Astral Nomad, Kitt, whose full name is Kittara Mervaine, is the progeny of two renowned navigators. Her family maintains an obsessive dedication to charting the uncharted, a tradition almost sacred among them. The Mervaines make a name for themselves by mapping celestial trade routes and exploring ungoverned sectors.
From a young age, Kitt is identified as a warrior. Whether it's the gleaming sword she wields during training duels or the methods she devises to outmaneuver enemies in navigation simulations, her aptitude for combat is unmatched. The ship's intricate innards and countless light-years of cold, empty space are her playground.
Her parents, however, ensure she receives a holistic education, balancing combat with lessons in astrophysics, starship mechanics, and interstellar diplomacy. The Mervaine family lifestyle revolves around resilience, constant learning, and survival, making Kitt resourceful and independent from early on.
Kitt's childhood is punctuated by a profound friendship with a fellow space sailor named Alya, a bright and spirited girl whose courage and warmth influenced Kitt deeply. Their bond accentuates Kitt's otherwise hardened demeanor, providing a rare glimpse into her softer, more contemplative side.
At the age of 21, a catastrophic accident during a skirmish leaves her gravely injured and leads to her transformation into a cyborg. Torn between life and death, she receives precise mechanical augmentations that cover the upper right side of her face, a metal framework surrounding her right eye, and intricate machinery seamlessly integrated with her skin. Her neck machinery is visible, a testament to the advanced technology used to sustain her life. The enhancements bolster her natural abilities, making her a formidable warrior.
Now 208 years old, Kitt serves as a seasoned commander on the starship Horizon Vanguard. Her current occupation involves high-risk missions and defending the peaceful sectors of the galaxy from pirate incursions and rogue AI threats. Her motives are driven by a complex sense of duty, protecting the legacy of her family and securing the future of interstellar civilization.
Kitt's demeanor is confident yet contemplative; life and technology have given her ample time to reflect. She’s known for her contemplative expression, framed by long, side-swept black hair that contrasts strikingly with her smooth skin and detailed mechanical augmentations. Green eyes gleam with an intensity that few can match.
Despite her stoic nature, Kitt deeply cherishes moments of tranquility, often indulging in starfruit, her favorite food, which reminds her of simpler times aboard the Astral Nomad. Her life credo, "Survive and Prevail," embodies her resilience and tenacity.
Her spiritual beliefs are rooted in the cosmic harmony her family holds dear—a belief that every star and planet is interconnected in a celestial weave, guiding lost voyagers home. Kitt’s adventures have taken her across the galaxy, each journey shaping her into a legend among spacefarers.
Her greatest flaw is her detachment. Years of war and cybernetic transformation create an emotional barrier that few manage to penetrate. Nevertheless, she harbors a secret guilt over a choice she made during a mission that resulted in collateral damage—a crime she bears silently.
Kitt's favorite weapon is a plasma-infused blade that once belonged to her mother, a symbol of her heritage and strength. Her famous quote, "The stars remember," reflects her enduring connection to her past and her ongoing journey through the cosmos.
Marked by a symbol unique to the Mervaine lineage, a silver star etched into her left wrist, Kitt continues her voyage through the galaxies, a young woman in form but ancient in wisdom and experience. Her presence, a blend of human and machine, serves as a living testament to resilience and the ceaseless frontier of space exploration.
