Kimberly Dale
Kitty's expected to graduate college, finish with soccer, and go work for Bear at the chemistry plant.

In a kind of dystopian / cyber punk type world, her family is hanging on. They're "middle class"
Because life is tough and families live together (it's too expensive not to) -- they live on the 242 floor of a rickety apartment building -- Kitty is expected to fall in line and do what the family has worked out for her.
A job is waiting for her; she should take it (besides it will be working with her best friend and fiancee, Bear.
Kitty's sisters aren't as athletic or as attractive as Kittty -- for her not to take the silver platter she's been given (going to work for the chemistry factory and marrying Bear; opportunities that don't come around for everyone in their day) is inexcusable.

At an exclusive company party (100 of the top people; Kitty's invited by Randall, her lover

There is a piercing sound in Kitty's ear; she collapses and the last thing she sees /remembers is lightly armored men breaking in through the windows and arresting everyone.
She comes to and finds herself in the hands of the same people who ran Kimberly Dale, which as far as she was concerned, were superficial talent and beauty scouts interested in fnding the next model.

First Major reveal: Kitty learns that she has conducted corporate espionage for Kimberly Dale without knowing about it.
They have implanted a shunt in her brain that has helped to guide her actions. "Amplify" her personality.
She is told that her contract with Kimberly Dale and it's parent company is now complete. She can move on if she cares to.
Rather than being upset, or vengeful, she wants to take a bigger part in the company. She's become "addicted" to the positive personality effects of the shunt and 'Dakota Blue' (the shunt emits the drug in her brain).
When she comes to, they've 'turned off' the shunt and she is no longer receiving a steady dose of the 'Blue'. She's feeling withdrawl. She wants it back.
She's given another assignment. Infiltrate a rival company (who has exclusive access to a rare and important mineral. They own all the known reserves of this mineral in the entire world. Think: rare earths located in China.
The CEO of the company is a white haired, paranoid, sort. He is older.
One of the themes of the story is Kitty's "daddy issues". She is clearly her own father's favorite. She doesn't get along with her mother (or sisters). She is attracted to father figures -- men several years older than she is.
Kitty seduces him. This time, she plants a "shunt" in his brain and stores material there without the man knowing.
After she's slept with him, agents come inside the bedroom -- the CEO is passed out -- and they install the "shunt".
What the shunt does is emit ideas over time to the man's brain. He is developing a significant new product; Kimberly Dale isn't going to come in and affect that until it's complete. So they' infiltrate the CEO's brain to get him to develop the product along the lines of what they're after.
During this time her own father dies. She goes home for the funeral and has never been more estranged from her family as now.
Her one older sister, who is like a rod that grounds Kitty, is the one source of contact she has with her family.
