humble origins

• born in the dead of a stormy night to a couple whose marriage was on the high way to hell, kat became the little angel and the spark that renewed love to her parents, grew up smiling and radiant, like the sunshine hidden behind the clouds.
• went to a decent school, made some amazing friends that she's still in contact with, and basically actively tried to try everything under the sun. from volunteering at the local ranger base, to surfing, to taking up yoga classes she was #1 go getter that had this contagious laugh that infected crowds at a time.
• watched all her friends chase after their dreams and encouraged them along the way, but she had no focus or goal of what to be. hung around doing community service and travelled as much as her parents' middle class income would allow
• her parents had a divorce, and although she'll never forget how her mother would call her katya, she chose to stay in canalave with her dad. helped out at his repair shop and got a love for all sorts of machinery. still on good-ish terms with her mother, although she can't say the separation didn't shake her up.
• left home to become a trainer, start anew, find something worth chasing and meet friends worth making

idiosyncrasies, etc.

• loves loves any and all sort of water. would like to be a gym leader, but that's another one of one thousand options that sound cool. never stays on the same track for too long, and randomly gets super stressed because she has no idea where she's going with life.
  
• loves people. any kind of people. incredibly open minded and excitable and friendly, it makes her all in all a pretty popular if not simply charming person. makes bonds wherever she goes, yet somehow maintains a fierce independence from others, liking to do her own thing, even if she doesn't know what it is.
• though she's often thrust into the spotlight, she's more of a motivator than a leader, and wants nothing to do with boring or simplistic tasks. she's rebellious when faced with regulations or routines, and doesn't mind jumping out and discarding society's values for her own .
• she's sort of twitchy when it comes to things, not quite OCD, but she can't stand seeing one tile missing on a pattern, and enjoys organizing and using multicolored markers on her diary and the like. keeps a journal and is a pretty creative person.
• takes things to heart. reads way too between the lines. stresses too much and melts under expectations. don't hurt the cutie pls.
