❝Yes, I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.❞
Power:
Intangibility
Kat is able to move through objects and ignore most physical effects in her way. She can, when physically touching someone or something, also 'phase' accompanied.
Invisibility
Kat can render herself unseen by the naked eye and become invisible in visible spectrum. Using this power, she can move about an environment unseen by others and act without being observed. She can also inflict this ability on her attire, and other inanimate objects when she is touching them physically, although like with her intangibility, the larger the mass of the object she is influencing, the greater the concentration necessary.
Limitations:
Other than the varying amounts of concentration necessary, which are oft too much for her to handle at her current level of control, the limitations to her powers include such as: with intangibility, her breathing and vitals are still working when she is using this power, so if moving through a particularly thick space, she could easily suffocate herself if she didn't get through quickly enough. With her invisibility, she is only such in the terms of visibility. As such, noises and such can be just as easily noticed as someone without her ability.
Strengths:
For what Kat lacks in strength and brawn, she more than makes up for with her quick wit and ability to think on her feet. She is also a rather fast runner, and used to do both cross country and track. She's an excellent cook, for whatever reason, and whilst she isn't the most suave of people, does possess an odd and endearing kind of charisma. She has a good sense of humour, and knows how to empathize with people. She is good with children, is a good singer and celloist, and is very resourceful; able to make something out of nothing, and produce good ideas with efficiency and speed.
Weaknesses:
As is expected of her small stature, Katherine is physically weak, and not exactly the sort you'd expect to win in a fistfight against... anyone. She can be rather awkward around people, and often displays her reckless tendencies when her emotions are heightened. Although one could argue that they are her strengths as well, her friends are an easy enough way to immobilize her. She is claustrophobic, and a complete technology-illiterate, unable to rewire a hard-drive or hack into a database to save her life. She is also very clumsy, and is always dropping and/or breaking things.

Hairstyle:

Style:
Kat's personal taste in fashion isn't the sort you'd expect to see on the runway, or adorning the shelves of an top-class store. Her style tends to vary between hipster-esque grunge and tomboyish. Whilst frills and lace aren't exactly up her alley, she really just wears whatever she feels comfortable in, and thinks looks nice.She rarely wears skirts, instead preferring shorts and jeans, and often wears over-sized hoodies, jumpers, and cardigans.

Overall Attractiveness:
There is no doubt that, by typical western standards, Kat is physically, an attractive individual. She isn't really the sort to be described as 'hot' or 'sexy', but she is certainly the sort to be described of as very pretty and 'cute'.
❝She may be small but she is fierce.❞
Mental or Behavioral Disabilities:
None.
Personality:
| empathetic | awkward | resourceful | impatient | witty | clumsy | loyal | tactless | brave | reckless | intuitive | dauntless | curious | stubborn |
Kat's always been quite a verbal person, the sort to stand up for her friends, her family, and her beliefs. The type to speak aloud rather than tuck her opinions behind a facade of indifference and indecision. If she is being picked on or treated wrongly, she is never going to simply stand down and take it for the sake of saving face or avoiding conflict. She's fiery in temperament, fierce despite her small stature, and perfectly willing to do fight back if it means keeping things fair. More so than herself and her pride, she is protective of the people close to her.
When it comes to emotion, Kat is in no way a stoic. She's an open book, an a total page-turner, at that. Lying is something she has never been able to do, no matter her attempts, and all tries at a disguise tend to end up self-portraits. Once one knows her quirks and tics, it is easy to tell what she is thinking, even without telepathy.
One might easily call such things a weakness in her case, for being a 'super' like her, connections and emotions tend to be the opposite of helpful. You just need to flick through a DC comic to know that.
However, despite her knack for painting her actions with emotion, and pursuing her heart over her head, Kat is far from naive. From her wide imagination and sharp intelligence birth traits such as resourcefulness and wit. She is a pro when it comes to thinking on her feet, and acting quickly under pressure. She can spin new ideas as quickly as she can fire out swift retorts and clever quips from her notoriously loaded arsenal of verbal barbs, and she shan't show remorse, either.
Kat's habit for allowing her emotions to sometimes topple her wisdom often results in rather reckless acts, such as her said tendency to confront the people that harm those she cares for, rather than consider other tactics. She is impulsive both in terms of actions and words when her emotions are flared, and her personal feelings have a nasty tendency to get in the way of her thinking straight. She is slightly impatient, and can oft suffer from foot-in-mouth disease, but if she causes mistakes through her recklessness, she will do what it takes to make amends, and is willing to offer her pride up and admit to wrongdoings rather than ignore responsibility.
As much as she'd love to be suave and slick, Kat isn't. At all. Her clumsiness is, apparently, something she was born with, and try as she might to smooth this out along with her slight social awkwardness, they have so far proven themselves as stubborn as the rest of her, clinging onto her persona and generally making her look like a moron in the least flattering of situations.
When curiosity strikes her, and an unanswered question becomes a source of interest, Kat truly is dauntless. She hates leaving mysteries unsolved, and thus in her youth made herself out to be a right Nancy Drew. Suffice to say, she wasn't quite as sleuth-worthy as she thought she was, but that didn't -and doesn't- stop her from pursuing answers with severe and fierce dauntlessness, overcoming obstacles in order to satisfy her need for truth, and slate her curiosity.
Sweet and compassionate, Kat is the sort to let her friends know they are loved, and to seek out solutions when they are facing problems. Despite her seeming to often have a great many other things on her mind, Kat will never ignore a friend -or just a person in general- in need. Whilst she herself is often obvious in her feelings, she too is rather adept at sensing when something is amiss. Combining this with her need to protect, and her fierce curiosity, and you have a girl that is going to do whatever she can to make you smile again.
Finally, Kat loves to laugh, and does so without vanity or reservations. Often and with constant enthusiasm.

Most Prized Possession:
❝She wasn't looking to change the world; she merely wanted to be happy in it.❞
Hobbies:
Fears:
☠ enclosed spaces; ever since her first experience with her abilities at ten years old, Katherine has been severely claustrophobic. Small spaces and the general feeling of being trapped tend to result in anxiety attacks and hyperventilating. ☠ harm coming to those she cares about; being as naturally protective as she is, it is only natural that she worries over the welfare of her loved ones, but with the appearance of the hunters, such caution is becoming continually more understandable.

Sensible, with the occasional splurge.
Smokes?:
No.
Drinks?:
Rarely, only on social occasions, and even then, keeps the alcohol to a minimum, as she is a major lightweight, and doesn't really like the taste of most alcoholic beverages.
Other drugs?:
No.
❝Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright; their songs too sweet and wild.❞
Upbringing:
When Kat was born, she never seemed particularly out of the ordinary. She was bright, and bubbly, with a penchant for hogging the limelight at family get-togethers, be it by singing, dancing, or generally being adorable (read: a nuisance). As she grew up, she still didn't display any odd qualities. She never burnt down her school or found herself defying gravity; she never suffered any mortal wounds, only to be fine the next day, nor did she turn into a wolf come the full moon. Until she was ten years old, she was -as far as she or anyone else was concerned- completely ordinary.
Then she turned ten, and things went pear-shaped.
About a month after her tenth birthday, Kat was granted a day off school on behalf of a nasty cough and sore head. Her parents were at the respective jobs, although on speed-dial and ready to come home at a moment's notice. At about two in the afternoon, for whatever reason, Kat leant against the wall of her bedroom.
And slipped right through.
Suddenly, she found herself trapped between the plaster, unable to get out. She screamed and kicked, punching at the walls as best she could in the tight space until her knuckles were bloody and adorned with splinters, but to no avail. By the time her father got home, she'd been there four hours. The undoubtedly horrific and stressful experience resulted in Kat's claustrophobia.
After cutting her out of the wall, neither Kat nor her parents knew how to explain it all. It was inexplicable. Ridiculous. Impossible.
And yet it was.
The second time her powers manifested was when she fell through the floor of her school, and landed in the middle of the school gymnasium, interrupting a game of volleyball. She received a broken arm from the accident, and afterwards, they came. They told her about a school for people like her.
And, well, here she is.
