Bio: In an era where every person's mental state can be instantly determined by a super system that covers the entire country, one's main concern in life is maintaining a healthy mind. This system checks a device that is installed into each citizen's body, called a Psycho-Pass. This new, self-operating technology ensures that by measuring your Crime Coefficient (mental/psychological state), crime is practically non-existent in this modern, safe society. Your career is determined by an aptitude test that the Sibyl System then judges and informs you of what workforce suits you best. There is no need for fear or stress in this society any longer, thanks to the Sibyl System.
Or at least, that's what citizens are led to believe.
Even in this era, a police force is still needed, which is the job of the Public Safety Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. Inspectors patrol the cities to locate and capture any individuals whose Crime Coefficient is high enough to suggest they have or are planning to commit a crime; if the Crime Coefficient is high enough, a person is then labeled as a Latent Criminal and will be deemed a threat to society. These Inspectors also have subordinates called Enforcers, who are latent criminals that the Sibyl System recognizes as able to be useful in capturing more criminals just like them. These Enforcers are looked down upon by Inspectors, often referred to as the "hunting dogs" by Inspectors, and they may not leave the Bureau unless escorted by an Inspector.
Unfortunately for 21 year old Kit, the worry-free life the Sibyl System was supposed to ensure ended for her on one winter evening when she was still just a teenager.
At age 18 Kit had been determined by Sibyl that she was best fit for working as a veterinarian. Her life was starting out with a promising outlook as she was accepted into veterinary school, but not a year later everything changed. Kit had been forced to witness the torturous murder of her own younger sister, Alice, and the trauma rendered her Psycho-Pass to reach a Crime Coefficient level that was higher than acceptable. She was sent to the rehabilitation center (aka prison) and was required to stay in her cell until her CC level dropped to a healthy rate.
Kit would spend six months in the prison, trying to recover and get back to her previous Crime Coefficient, but she struggled. Mourning the loss of her sister and wanting the killer to be found caused the hue of her Psycho-Pass to never clear up enough to be released. Kit feared she would be stuck in rehab for the rest of her life. That is, until she was approached by the investigation Bureau.
Initially, she wanted nothing to do with the organization that had let her sister's murder case remain unsolved for all this time. Why help them when they had done nothing for her sister? What use were the Inspectors if they couldn't catch this guy? But with the realization of knowing that, as a latent criminal, her hue wouldn't recover enough to allow her to leave the prison on her own, she reluctantly agreed to become an Enforcer.
After all. A dog is freer on a leash than in a cage, no?
