While CC backstory covered in the show, I guess some of the details of the pozzle are somewhat left out. While observant viewer can put the pieces together, some less observant ones might miss the idea altogether. Here I will tell her story in an appropriate detail.
Early on in her life CC was a normal human girl. From the looks of it she was born no earlier than 19th century, but it could be anywhere between Middle Ages and 19th century.
She was a slave, hard to tell if she run away of someone killed her owners and left her on her own. She wondered on her own and eventually fall from exhaustion. She probably also suffered from malnutrition and other issues.
However to her luck she was found a a nun who offered her a power in exchange for grating a nun one wish later down the line. The kind of deal CC herself offered to Lelouch, Mao, Marianne and possibly many others.
CC accepted and got ger geass from that nun. CC's geass allowed her to make people fall in love with her. She needs just to look at the man who interst her and activate it. And he will fall in love with her and pursue her. I wonder how many girls would like to have exact the same power as this one.
CC used this power very frequently, that made her life much easier and happier as it made people act nicely towards her, shower her with affection and presets. She had a lot of fun as she grew up using her geass. She attendant balls and other facy social events.
Eventually however that power went out of control. Just like Mao and Lelouch after that incident with Euphemia, after certain point she was no longer able to deactivate her geass. That power started affected everyone around her and brought her too much unwated attention and affection. Eventaully she hid from them all in the monastery with the same nun who gave her this geass.
She complained to nun that this power is not burden on her and she does not want it anymore. Nun said that it is not a problem, she can solve CC's problem.
Then nun revealed to CC that she only have CC geass so that later down the line she could push onto her Code of Immortality and then kill herself. Now, that CC's geass spread to her other eye and now in both of her eyes, she finally able to take Code of Immortality.
Thus nun transferred her Code of Immortality to CC and killed herself. Back in the days CC could not understand why nun would do something like that, but later she herself decided to do the same thing.
Code of Immortality made CC immortal: unageing and unkillable. However it also too away her geass power. People who used to love her get disenchanted with her and decided to kill her. They tried to kill her many times but she always survived because of her Code of Immortality.
Eventually she escaped them and then wondered the earth, meeting various people, falling in love, making enemies, living in every meaing of the world.
However everyone around her eventually aged and died and she alone remained. Over time she grew too tired to keep losing people who used to be dear to her but were now dead of old age while she was still alive and as young as she was back when she received the Code of Immortality.
Thus she decided that she too wanted to die and end this accumulation of sad experiences of missing dear ones.
However, because of her Code of Imoortality she could not die of old age. Nor can she just kill herself as all her wounds would heal, always preventing her death.
Her only option was to do what that nun done to her and find some people, form counteract with them and give them geass.
Thus she went on, looking for people to give geass to. Hard to tell how many people formed contract with her in total but they include Marianne, Mao and eventually Lelouch.
Marianne died before her geass developed into both eyes. Mao went insane before that happened.
In first season of Gode Geass Mao had geass in both eyes however CC probably thought it would be too cruel to subect someone like him to immortality. As much as she resolved to kill him, she could not do it as she is rather soft person on the inside.
Each of their geass was different as geass always reflect the individual's strongest innermost and dearest wish. For CC it was to be loved. For Marianne to cross into people's minds and for Mao to read other people's thoughts and memories. For Lelouch to give people orders they cannot disobey. CC did not had any control over what power they will get. Nor could she know in advance what kind of geass they will get or how it will affect them further down the line, other that it will changed them.
Eventually she was captured by Clovis, who was very interested in her immortality and wanted to study it in order to find out how aquire it for himself. CC had immorality because of Code of Immortality, but Clovis could not know something like that. He probably would not have believed the truth if CC would just tell him this. So he studied her like lab subject.
Eventually she escaped and formed contract with Lelouch.
At first she wanted to be strictly practical with him because she did not want him to die before he could take over Code of Immortality.
However, overtime she grown attached to him and his cause and started to help him with his rebellion and other things.
As show progressed, she became increasingly more cordial and warmer with him. Their love truly developed over the course of the show.
During Black Rebellion she helps him a lot.
By the second season she was even willing to give on her original cause of passing the Code and dying and bet it all on Lelouch.
In the end this all developed into one of a kind very special relationship built on very deep underlying connection that is not so apparent to observers.
This relationship is special because their unique experiences allow them to understand each other like no one else and truly value each other.
