LOLIf I was imagining what Caitlyn's genre was, it would be a torch-song, throw-back type of music with contemporary sound, somewhat like what you used: Garbage's "#1 Crush" (great song, BTW, and I dig you going to that extra effort to use the words).Punk rock, hard rock, and metal would not be able to take advantage of the singing talent of Caitlyn as well as other genres : there's a reason why with "good singers", they play ballads and softer music. Both volume, and the number of beats and notes in faster music tends to get in the way of the singing voice.edit: you could have Kindred Knights be a bunch of humans playing torchy, gothy "Vampire music", as I've heard many contemprary bands do.Maybe a female version of Type O Negative?</blockquote>
