Description
Cara Lynn is to be found running around the city with her family getting into a little bit of trouble.

Background
Coming from a childhood of sadness, Cara Lynn has learned how to take care of herself through unfortunate circumstances. A nuclear family turned to one: her mother, Lillian, was a singer, and her father, George, worked construction. When her mother passed in a terrible car accident, the lively experience she had began to dwindle. Her father turned in on himself, and into alcohol and Cara began to be the sole runner of the family. She made sure he showered and ate, and even at the age of eight she managed to get by. He took himself out of the world, and it left her at a young age in a lurch.

She went to spend time with her aunt, which was as much of a hard situation as her life before. Cara's aunt spent time with a different man almost every single week, she worked with drugs and cared little of what the young child needed. Cara learned easily what it mean to defend herself, and when she graduated high school, finally, all on her own she moved in with her high school sweetheart. The relationship with Michael soured and eventually he admitted to being unfaithful, while she sat isolated from the world.

The Collective Family
Being torn down by the city's lack of support for civilians and growing tired of the way she was being treated, Cara turns to a new friend by the name of Joel and a new family. She starts to dabble in light crime, learning how to rob 24/7's, houses, and goes back to growing weed. The group did not last long, and as she slipped away from them, things got incredibly messy.

Mortelle
After a push from friends, Cara found herself at the Pink Cage under the leadership of Cindy Tipton. She became fast friends, and learned a lot about how to rob banks, drive, sell drugs, and be a bad bitch. For months Cara spent time holding up the gang while people came and went, and she grew tired of the constant up and down of a growing family. Cara left after months of traveling, coming back to a group of people she barely knew, and attempting to form a bond with them. They did not seem interested, and while Cara still held love for Mortelle, she decided to take herself somewhere that would want her as much as she wanted them.

Vagos
Cara grew close to the gang during her days wearing pink, and as she found herself alone in the city once again she was invited to hang in the barrio. Accepting the invitation, Cara quickly rose the ranks, becoming a prospect. She pushed herself more than she ever had during this time, and punished herself for the smallest things she did wrong, even when she didn't need to. After months of sitting in the barrio, she started to question whether she would finally be accepted into the family and get her flag... and that day came in the middle of their short war with Hydra. Cara became a Soldado in March, and tensions began to grow in the group. After a messy blood-out of one of the more loved members and the unnecessary death of Vero at the Jefe's hands, the group turned on the leader and a new form of Vagos began. Cara became the Capitana of the Vagos, after being appointed in the role by the new Jefe, Lex. But things weren't always perfect, and Cara began feeling as though she had nothing to offer the new version of the group regardless of the work she'd done. After feeling very lost and despondent, Cara laid down her flag and chain in the hopes of finding herself once more.

The Hidden
The Hidden became an alliance from doing bank jobs in the city during Cara's time in the Vagos, because of Jimmy Bruner's friendship with Mikey Silver. Cara rarely did jobs while wearing yellow, where The Hidden would invite her to things like her first Oil Rig, S+ Boost, and Vault. They were always down to hang out, and were always friendly even while barely knowing each other. Seeing how unhappy she was while in the Vagos, Garret Mathews started to talk to her and hang out with her while doing RHL, focusing on the route of her issues. Garret eventually brought this up to The Hidden, and they agreed that if she ever left, she would be invited to join as a prospect. He started to nudge her in that direction after a rough few months, and for once she didn't say no. Cara eventually leaves the Vagos citing issues within herself, and after a few weeks joins The Hidden as a prospect. Cara was vested on Oct/7/23, The Hidden gave her a task to fly from the Ark to a Yacht in Paleto, though while trying to fly up Cara flew backwards into the trees.

Procyon Motorsports/Tuner Shop
After being fired from Hayes and joining the Vagos, Cara got a job at the Tuner to be closer to her home. "She is currently a Mechanic at the shop."

Burger Shot
