As an adult, Vi retains many of these personality traits but also has a lot of untouched trauma from when she was at Stillwater. It's implied that due to her claustrophobic surroundings inside the penitentiary and the less-than-ideal mental health standards, she began to believe that she abandoned Powder as opposed to being arrested before she could go back for her. Despite all the burdens Vi has on her shoulders, she is still a very loving and gold-hearted woman, despite her hatred of Silco and the Enforcers. Upon meeting Caitlyn, she's quick to shun the other woman and ignore her due to her status as an Enforcer. However, the more time she spent with Caitlyn, the more her walls began to crumble and the two started connecting with each other on a more romantic level. Vi even goes as far as to sharing her memories of 'abandoning' Powder, to which Caitlyn responds by comforting Vi by gently stroking her face and holding her hand, which is also implied to have been the moment that Vi fell in love with Caitlyn. "I know, Pow-pow, I know. You did what you had to do to survive. Me too. It's okay. What matters is we're together."
