Appearance:
Kathie is tall for a woman of her time, standing 5'6, which is as much as many men do. She is slim, with bigger breasts. Her skin is slightly tanned, but not due to the time she spends outside, but because of her Arabian heritage. The rest of her beauty comes from her mother. She has long blonde hair and green eyes, just like her. The woman dresses in things of good quality considering her social status. She is right handed.
History:
Kathie was born to a middle class family consisting of an Arabian man from one of the many British territories and an English mother. Her father moved to Scotland when he was 21 to work in the
Department of International Magical Co-Operation. He met his wife who was a secretary there and married her a year later. 11 months after their marriage they had their first child.

There wasn't any problem until Kathie was born, at least not that Mrs. Khan was aware of. When Kathie was born her father had taken quite an unusual interest in his daughter. He always made sure to be there when she is bathed or when she is changed. The more she grew up the more intense his visits got. One day when she was dressing he entered her room and started touching her in intimate places. She asked her mother if it was normal and in response she got slapped for trying to seduce her father.

He paid visits to all his daughters and their mother was well aware of that. It disgusted Kathie from the very beggining and she was more than glad to be gone to Hogwarts. At school she started to understand she might never be free of her father's abuse, because she is technically his property. It made her get involved with girls who considered themselves feminists.

When Kathie was 13 her father raped her for the first time. It was then she decided that as soon as she gets OWLs she's leaving the family for good. She followed through with her decision and in 1882 the blonde dropped out after OWLs and didn't return home. She thus fell to lower class, started going by a different last name, asking all those she knows to follow with that and she moved in to Slums with people she knew from school. She started working as a Honeyduke's employee in 1882. In 1883 the girl decided to change jobs and applied for Department of Mysterie's secretary position. By a stroke of luck she got it and that is where she's working today.

Personality:
Kathie is an extremely hard-working person. She's a perfectionist and works very hard to achieve the best results possible. She is loyal to her friends and siblings, despite the fact she left her family behind. She saves all the money she can to anonymously send them gifts for birthdays and Christmas.

The young woman doesn't shy away from a challenge, especially if it can improve her work performance. While she doesn't let anyone know, she is secretly a romantic and hopes to one day meet and marry a man who will make her life better. For now, though, she does everything she can to make her life better for herself.

Sample Roleplay Post:
Becky had never expected the siren to sound again. She really thought it’s over, it’s done. They are relatively safe in the groups they divided themselves into. When the sirens sounded off she felt her heart skip a beat. It wasn’t possible. They couldn’t be relieving it again… She already lost so much, she couldn’t lose her friends now! She managed to hide knives in her boots, before Levi told her to gather what she can, because they are leaving for Skokie. The whole city was already being attacked by the infected. In all that panic the brunette forgot that the crazies were attracted to loud sounds and sirens certainly were loud.

It took her a few seconds to gather what she thought was useful, before following Levi and the FEDRA. She thought of her Firefly friends, Norah and others. How will they cope? What will they do? They didn’t have as many people as they did and not as many resources… Would they come to Skokie too? Will they be a temporary truce? That was one thing that came through her head as they were trying to get to their “safe haven”. The other was a hope that maybe Gage will be there.



Despite the fact people who knew her story told her to forget about her brother Rebecca still had hope. She believed that he is amongst the people living in Skokie and that one day she will go far enough to find him. There was a possibility he was a hunter, but she couldn’t picture her big bro as one of those psychotic killers. He certainly wasn’t a Firefly, because she would have met with him again by now, like she did with Molly.

It took them a while, but they finally made their way to the school. She had barely even stepped into the place when she heard a familiar voice calling her by her nickname. Her heart started beating faster as she turned around. It was true! He was here!


The young woman instantly dropped her bag to the floor and ran through the crowd to her brother, jumping and wrapping her arms around his neck, crying.

”Gage, it’s you! You’re alive!” She said, holding him tightly as if she was to never let go of him again.
