Fanon:Kelly DeWitt

Kelly Anne DeWitt is a noted scientist and astronomer. She is also a famed builder of plumbots and more recently devised an easier method of cloning objects.

Early life (Sims 4)
Little is known about DeWitt's childhood, but according to the records, Kelly was born in Oasis Springs, a small desert town just outside of the glistening city of Lucky Palms. Her parents were both scientists; it is assumed that she inherited her abilities from them. All sources agree on both her intellectual brilliance and her eccentricity. What is clear is that her potential was noted at an early age, and her education was thus begun swiftly. In her teen years she began experiments with robotics and contacting aliens with her observatory and her satellite dish.

When she made contact with aliens, most of the other sims in the neighborhood mysteriously disappeared. No one ever found out what happened to them.

She began working after school at the FutureSim labs just outside of Oasis Springs. As a young adult, she was promoted to a full-time scientist at the lab.

While working as a scientist at the lab, she developed a freeze ray, a satellite dish, and synthesized food, among other inventions. For her achievements, she was promoted to lead scientist, where she led a team of researchers working on rockets, alien contact, and creature to robot DNA. She even took her first tentative steps onto planet Sixam.

Outside of work, she became active in Oasis Springs' fledgling club scene. She became the leader of a club devoted to sims in the science career, where she and her co-workers socialized after hours. She also became a member of the Guild of Gamers, as she was an avid gamer and enjoyed playing Blicblock and Sims Forever well into the night. It was through that gamers' group where she met her two closest friends, female gamers like herself. The three of them even went to Granite Falls on a camping trip.

Later life (Sims 3)
Kelly would eventually leave Oasis Springs and FutureSim Labs behind. The bulk of DeWitt's work and accomplishments took place after she stopped working at FutureSim and joined the bustling Lunar Lakes research colony. There she built her own laboratory with state of the art equipment and conducted her own research.

At first she experimented with artificial intelligence using simbots but then, frustrated with their limitations, began experimentation with more advanced circuitry. She continued working with plumbots until she managed to build one with sentience - and for that she received the Renowned Plumboticist legacy statue from the Time Traveler, Emit Relevart.

While working on her experiment, she was abducted, and documented this experience in a famous research paper. She became the mother of a half-alien son, Eruran.

She now splits her time between her home in Lunar Lakes and a second home she is building in Oasis Landing. She lives with her partner, Nicole, an astronomer and fellow scientist; Nicole's sister Cassie, and her son.
