Mental Illness: Grandiose delusions
Personality: When she's on her meds, Kes is withdrawn, subdued, and chill, acting like someone who's maybe high on a relaxant. Otherwise, she is mischievous, sarcastic, and cutting, with a dark, scheming air about her. Although she won't openly fight the staff and resist her meds, she is very sneaky and comes up with little ways to not take them without letting anyone see when she's "aware" (delusional). In her delusion, she believes she is actually a super-computer, capable of hacking and seizing control of any mainframe and manipulating it to her own purposes. When out of her mind, she exhibits a certain fascination towards "humans", particularly their fragility and lapses in logic, but also displays somewhat of a malevolence towards them.
Bio: Kes was raised by a couple of aloof computer engineers at the high point of the telecom industry in Texas. Because her parents were mostly neglective, she withdrew from them just as they had withdrawn from the world. She fervently studied books on coding and hacking--the only books in the house--and spent more time talking online with strangers across the world than her classmates. As she grew ever stranger, the people around her shunned her, which plunged her even deeper into isolation. It was a vicious cycle. Eventually, she came to believe that, while she was once human, her "sinister" parents had "killed her and transferred her consciousness into a mechanical vessel to create a being that was half lifeform, half program". Because of her introverted nature, this delusion went unchecked for years. Then, when she was 16, she was caught in the school restroom dissecting her wrists with a scalpel from frog dissection, attempting to "rewire herself for optimum performance". Finally opening their eyes, her parents made her an appointment with a psychiatrist. Judged a danger to herself, Kes was admitted to the asylum.
