Candy lived a life she wasn't particularly proud of. A combination of an oppressive family and poor social skills lead to her feeling repressed, constantly putting on a mask, hiding her emotions and desires in favor of pleasing those around her. Not making a fuss. This was also before she transitioned, and though she had some inkling of an idea that she wasn't a boy, she didn't dare think about them too hard. Anything to avoid drawing attention to herself.

It wasn't all bad - she had friends, hobbies, interests. She had a particular fondness for theater and stage magic, of all things. But it felt hard to get all that enthusiastic about them when she was letting herself show at most an inkling of emotion.

One day, for reasons she struggles to recall, she died. Her soul, restless from a life constrained - combined with a dash of good luck - returned in the form of a ghost. When she found her ghost form had naturally taken on a more feminine appearance, the weight of her life and all the things she never did slammed into her all at once. In that moment she realized her entire life had been a waste.

But now - now, she had a second chance. Her old life could burn to the ground, for all she cared. The shock of the moment gave her the kick she needed to throw it all out - it was time for a fresh start. She chose a new name for herself, and set out to live the most indulgent, freeing afterlife she could.

As far as she's concerned, everything is perfect, now! She's happy, carefree, and doesn't need to think too much about how she acts or who she hurts.
