Candy was not born to who she believes are her biological parents. She was born as a test child in the synthetic evolved program. After an unfortunate lab accident that claimed the life of her real parent's the young child was given to the people whome she believes are her real family, who are employees of The Company. Being a synthetic evolved, The Company is well aware of her potential to be an Evolved and so is the organization that Mr. Goodman is a part, resulting in them both wishing to talk with her and working for them. However, she has managed to keep her parents out of the knew that she is evolved, her parents having orders to turn her over to the company as soon as they find out.
Candy's upbringing was normal, and there was very little of note that occurred out of the norm for a girl growing up. Of course, her real name isn't Candy, it is a shortened version of Candace. She picked up the nickname in High School, after one of her friends remarked upon how much like the young girl's figure was filling out rather like a blonde-headed bimbo, and all her friends decided on that name. The young girl didn't mind terribly much. Sure it was rather humilating, but it was an in-joke amoung her friends and a name that no one else had, so she always knew who they were talking to. Also during High School is when she realized that was different from everyone else. She was taking a shower one night, when she realized that she could control the way the water was hitting her, bending it and making it do impossible things. She took to practicing as much as she could at home, figuring that it was another skill to develop. Many nights were her parent's agitated that the water didn't seem to act right in the pipes, as the young woman used the water going through the walls to practice where ever she could.
After she graduated High School, the bright young woman went to New York City to attend college. She graduated at the age of twenty-two with a degree in Marine Biology. Her natural talents are what gave her an affinity for working with stuff in the Ocean. At the age of twenty-five she met Angel at a night club. The two women quickly became mutually acquainted and formed a relationship, until Candy seemed to just disappear.
Candy had gone clubbing with her friend, Angel, and it was late at night. Candy decided to go ahead and get back to her apartment alone. As she walked down an alley, not two blocks from her apartment, when she witnessed the four men beating up on a boy. She didn't know who the boy was, but after listening to the assorted insults that were coming out of the men's mouth she realized that he was the son of a pair of evolved parents. She moved forward in a hope to save the kid, and one of the men grabbed her. As the man grabbed her, Candy panicked, and in her panic she burst almost every blood vessel in the man's body. He sagged to the ground, looking for all the world like a body shaped tomato that had been stepped on.
Ironically, this did nothing to help the woman's panic as she knew the stigma that was upon most evolved. The other men quickly turned and ran. Still panicking the woman tore off to hide, leaving the boy for dead, hoping that she could await for the whole thing to blow over. Through a very unfortunate confluence of events, the man's murder was linked to her disappearance after a Missing Person's bulletin was filed. Thinking that she had only one way out, the young girl went to water. She tried to make it to Stanton Island, but the Coast Guard and S.C.O.U.T. got to her first.
The young woman did not go out without a fight, however. Desperate to survive she used every ounce of control that she could muster, sinking one of the three ships by forcing water in and around a a series of rivets holding two of the metal plates together. Once the rivets on the ship failed, water pressure quickly forced hundreds of gallons of water into the ship, sinking it very quickly. that the coast guard had brought, killing most of the crew on the ship. Finally, it took an empath who had been on one of the sunken vessels to grab her, and calm her down into a state in which they could finally apprehend her. With the destruction that she had wrought, she was taken to Moab, hopefully to never be seen again.
Candy was taken to a station after the incident and with her past record she received a visit from an anonymous benefactor. This man told her who she was, how she had came to be, and what was going to happen to her if she didn't agree to help them. Being a smart girl, she helped them. She was told that the man's name was Roger Goodman, and that she would now be working for the Pinehearst group. She was told that she was going to be put into Moab to watch out for a list of evolved. Those on the list were:
Helena Dean
Alexander Knight
Lucrezia Bennati
Peter Petrelli
Sent to the prison, she was injected with their toxin. However, in a weird confluence of events, she discovered that some days it injection worked, and others it didn't. More often then not, it did. She did her best to keep that fact hidden from the guards, as she met various people and observed her targets, once she found out who they were.
A month into her confinement, her secret was finally discovered and she was taken to Orange Level. Figuring that she should just seek to escape, she did her best to try to do that much to go and report to this Mr. Goodman. Her attempt failed, and after killing a guard by inducing mass-hemorrhaging in his brain, she was sent to Red Level.
While in Red Level, all the water in her environment was carefully controlled so that she would not be able to use it. She was brought to the edge of dehydration, knocked out by an electric shock, and then administered fluids by an IV. That is how she spent her time in the prison, her hatred growing from just the people who were responsible for her being here, to any non-evolved. This hatred was further spurned on by the actions she saw of the group mercilessly beating the small boy. Guilt wracked her for leaving him for dead, the woman resolving to make it up by helping any evolved that she deemed she could and who was in a life threatening situation. Eventually, she found freedom in the temporal warp that left her confused and in need of a drink, and back with her old girl, Angel, and with a need to report to Mr. Goodman at Pinehearst Headquarters in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
New information has required me to revise my initial assessment of Candace Allard's psychological profile. In moments of confidence, Candace alluded to her traumas as being so deep and so serious as to render her without a conscience. She is self diagnosed as a sociopath, with no qualms about killing. She made this confession as a means to create distance, so while I do not doubt that she believes it to be true, I have my own thoughts on her pathology.
Candace's trauma begins with the accidental killing that sent her to Moab, and then the terrible experiences she suffered while held in that facility. Had she received a fair trial, had she not been persecuted due to her Evolved status, she might well have dissociated her from power, pushed down her Evolved identity and suppressed control of her powers. If this had happened, it is likely she never would have drawn our attention, or at least never would have been useful until a great deal of therapy had been used to relieve the guilt.
But as she was so badly mistreated, quite the opposite happened. Her identity and her purpose was wound around her power and that incident. An arbitrary 'justice' was imposed on her for the killing, and so the killing itself took on both an arbitrary character and the character of a sort of justice, in response to the judicial response. Pity and regret were dispensed with in favor of a more livable viewpoint, that of the cold-blooded killer.
This is a coping mechanism, not the essential character of Candace. It is, in fact, a protective layer hiding a much greater vulnerability, a feeling of powerlessness and a lack of control that was only heightened by her experience in Moab, however further repressed. Emotional attachment of any kind, particularly with individuals who are not Evolved and therefore do not have this common mark, is countered either through contrariness or a simple lack of engagement. This is what makes her valuable as an asset to the Company, but it is difficult, as someone tasked with the repair of psyches, to simply leave it be. Because the work she'll be tasked with will only make her worse, an eventually she may become entirely unusable.
She needs some sort of outlet, some sort of release, an alternative besides feeling either powerless or the embodiment of violent power.
Psychological Evaluation by Isabella Sheridan

Candy's first skill is her manipulation of water. She has become quite adapt at it over the years and can easily manipulate fairly large quantities of water with ease from at the most twenty feet away. Her powers of manipulation include seperating water from things it may be mixed into, making it do impossible things (flow up hill, rise out of lakes), she can also manipulate the surface tension of up to thirty square feet patches, and at a sub-concious level her mind manipulates it by the molecule, letting her make a shield against toxins in her system. She can not manipulate whole oceans worth of water, but she can easily work with ten to twenty gallons.
With regard to the manipulation of surface tension, Candy can manipulate it to the point where one can stand and walk on water. Her surface tension control is also what allows her to shape the water that she is attempting to manipulate. It also allows her to "harden" the water. This ability lets her bash at her enemies with the water resulting in very bad bruises and broken bones at times. To give something of a literal example, its like taking a baseball bat to someone.
Her subconcious method of dealing with foreign substances injected into the body is almost simplistic in its nature. As the substance comes in, water molecules in her blood stream begins to almost coagulate around it. This forms a pocket inside of the blood vessel. On the outside of the water molecules is her blood and on the inside is the substance. Then, by manipulating the water molecules, the substance is led to the specific site where it will be sent on its way out of her system. This power does not always work and has the condition that Candy must see the needle before it pricks her, at the present moment she can not just feel the needle and have a chance for this power to work. This power has a roughly twenty percent chance to work if she sees the needle before the substance is injected.
