Her emotionalism | Her emotionalism was Cayle's defining character trait in the early part of her career- most of her actions were based on some form of emotional response. This pervaded every aspect of her life- she rarely backed down from a challenge (she can still tend to take them personally), etc. Her very attachment to Star Fleet has always been a deep, emotional one, fostered by her parents, both career Star Fleet officers.
