What should my character Casey be like since she's been isolated for years?

You have a character looking for a story. That should be the other way around. What story are you trying to tell with her. That will determine how she should act so it can fit the story. A fish out of water would work if the story is about her entering back into society. Is it about her finding romance? Then being socially evolving to the dating world is the story. Realistically if you were a shut in for 14+ years with no friends, you would be socially damaged beyond repair as your reality would be set after about age 25. She has a lonely life of not being able to connect with people. But I'm sure that is not what you are writing as that would be extremely depressive.
