Caitlyn at first glance looks naive and sheltered—likely due to her being raised in a wealthy, influential family. She's very determined, and stubborn in the pursuit of her goals. Caitlyn aims to unveil the hidden, criminal activities plaguing innocent people through her investigations and ultimately wants to put an end to their evil and help the victims of crimes. When she is prevented from doing necessary police work that can stop Silco's evil activities, she despises it. For example, Caitlyn was upset with her mother because she used her power and influence to limit her work to unexciting, safe guard duty rather that letting her do meaningful police work. This rankles Caitlyn, especially since she resented being coddled ever since she was a child, and also wanted to prove herself worthy by her merits. Right after Jinx's attack, Caitlyn was resolute in her responsibility to stop Silco's crimes, and continues investigating even though she was no longer an Enforcer. She also forged commands of her friend Jayce Talis in order to get Vi out of prison so that she can help with her investigation. After the attack to the Council by Jinx, which ended up in her own mother's death, she feels extremely guilty for not being able to stop Jinx when she got the chance. While she initially wanted to find a solution that wouldn't require weaponizing Hextech, she later agrees on creating weapons with that technology. She's deeply invested in finding Jinx to make her pay for the death of her mother, to the point of resorting to methods such as using the Grey to clear the streets of Zaun to target the Chembarons, dismantle shimmer, and find Jinx. It may have provided the strike team an alternative means to handling these objectives than the war Salo and Ambessa were trying to push the remaining council into. She's so blinded by her personal vendetta that she becomes increasingly more erratic. She goes as far as telling Vi that she is no different from her sister and blames her for stopping her. She later steps up to take the mantle of Commander as Ambessa, in her own quest for Hextech weaponry, led a gathering in the council room after working her manipulation magic behind the scenes to declare Martial Law and appoint Caitlyn as the face.
