Age: 20
Gender: Female
Weapons of choice: Throwing knives, any type of gun just laying around
Talents: Kat was born to be a fighter. She's extremely skilled with knives and hand-to-hand combat. She is also a pretty good artist and carries around an old sketchbook that she protects with her life, since cheap sketchbooks are hard to come by.
History: Kat was born in New South Wales, Australia to Gabriel and Clarice Mercer. She lost her mother at the age of three when her younger brother, Jude, was born. She had always believed that would be the real tragedy in her life. Until the day her world ended. Her father and brother were killed in the bombing, right in front of her. To this day, she remembers the slick blood that stained her hands as she kept pressure on her fathers's gruesome wounds, the loud screams of her brother as he was crushed by debris, and the deep cuts that still scar her hands from when she frantically tried digging him out. Kat used to believed there was good in everyone, and was often too trusting for her own good. Kat's sweet, old self died along with the billions of people who lost their lives in the bombing. After all this, she wandered around, stealing any food and supplies she could find. Kat was practically dead when Dex found her and took her under his wing. He taught her how to hunt, kill, and most importantly how to fight. Two years later, Dex was killed by a group of bandits on one of his trips to the closest town. When Kat found out, she took it upon herself to track them down. Let's just say they never lived long enough to really spend their earnings from the raid.
Personality: Although Kat is an accomplished killer, she never starts a fight. She'll only end it. Years of wandering and witnessing the awful happenings in the new world have changed her, hardening her heart and making her a little more rough around the edges than she used to be. Although she hates what the world has become and pretty much all the people in it, Kat has come to terms with the fact that nothing will ever be the way it was before the bombing. She usually hides her emotions well with her witty, sarcastic humor and convincing smile. On the rare occasion when Kat does get angry, she comes across as cold-hearted bitch. She wields her words like her blades, back up with a fierce demeanor and a stare that could make pigeons drop out of the sky in mid-flight. Being on the recieving end of her anger is never a good idea, so it's always better to stick on her good side. Being fearless is one of her biggest weaknesses and her biggest strength. Regardless of the consequences, Kat is a huge risk taker, and tends to throw caution to the wind when she sets her mind on something.
