Caylebreth (prefers to be called "Cayle") is an extremely emotional and excitable person, which, like most things, is a double-edged sword. While her emotionalism leads to a stronger connection with the crew and thusly serves as her primary motivating factor, she sometimes can react to situations based strictly on her emotions. She relies on her "gut" to help solve problems for her, and her intuition has served her well thus far- for the most part.

She relies on her "gut" to help solve problems for her, and her intuition has served her well thus far- for the most part. Indeed, following her instincts played a key role in eventually landing her last posting, that of Acting XO on the ''Akagi''. Serving initially as OPS on the ''Akagi'' during a classified diplomatic mission, the UFP mediator lost control of the situation and the ''Akagi'' found herself in the middle of an interplanetary war. The AKAGI lay between both warring factions, separating the two fleets. Eventually, one side fired on ''Akagi'' in an effort to eliminate the mediators and end the dispute in one, final action. In this volley, the ''Akagi'''s XO was | ||
killed. Cayle immediately assumed the XO's position, and eventually played a key role in diffusing the situation and restoring peace to the sector. As a result of her initiative and subsequent role in the peace process, she was breveted to the rank of LCDR and named aXO for the remainder of the mission. | killed.

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. However, this deep attachment hadm for a time, given way to almost complete emotional withdrawal due to her imprisonment and torture by the renegade Star Fleet Marines. Her personality for a long time was dominated by a general malaise and melancholy- essentially, her soul has been darkened by her experiences. | 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.

As things turned out, the | As things turned out, the ''Serapis'' mission ended up bringing some sort of closure to her in terms of her abduction. Therefore, much of the open cynicism and malaise that had darkened her soul after her abduction has faded...but not all of it. | ||
The years of combat experience have also taken a toll on her, generally for the better. Her emotionalism and aggressiveness has been blunted to an extent by a pragmatism as well as a professional and personal understanding of the costs of war. As she has advanced to flag rank, she has resisted in seeing those she commands merely as chess pieces; her experiences have made sure she knows that she commands people, men and women, and not inanimate objects. Her unwillingness to ask those she commands to do what she would not herself endears herself to her subordinates: she cares for them, and they know it and respond accordingly. | The years of combat experience have also taken a toll on her, generally for the better.
