Full name: Catherine "Cath" Hudson
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Personality: Cath has a cynical outlook on life, and is prone to biting sarcastic remarks. However, this is just a facade hiding a girl scared of her own imminent mortality, due to being diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at a young age. She is often seen lashing out at people, but on the other hand, she can be playful and kind if you know how to talk around her. She enjoys attention and being protected, although she tries really hard to pretend that she dislikes depending on anyone. Despite her rough exterior, she's never truly cruel or mean, but simply somewhat thorny. She's very openly reliant on her older brother, however.
Appearance: Cath weighs 87 lbs. and is 4'7 tall. She has long hair that stays straight but suffers from an unusually small frame. She usually dresses in muted colors and covers herself up as much as possible. She's seen drinking water very often to help clear the mucus building up in her lungs.
Short history: Cath was born to a single mother. Her mother had gotten pregnant as a teenager with her brother, Dylan, and now has a hopefully steady boyfriend. Life seemed to be okay until Cath was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. So then she was exposed to Chest Physical Therapy, which is having one beat her to loosen up the mucus, as well as drugs to widen airways, such as salbutamol. She was also introduced to aerobic exercise, primarily contemporary dance and light jogging. However, it was common knowledge that Cath wouldn't live a very long life, with her family lacking funds to adequately help ease the symptoms, and she eventually developed a pessimistic opinion on life. The infection struck her home town of Jamestown, North Dakota while she was at the hospital with Dylan. He quickly grabbed her and took as much medication as possible, not to mention a small firearm, and they hastily arrived at their home. A note from their mother and her boyfriend said that they would be waiting at the safe zone in Minneapolis, Minnesota. And so, Dylan high jacked a vehicle and the siblings headed east together.
