[b]Name:[/b] Katherine "Kat" Isabelle McKenzie
[b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Hometown:[/b] Pallet Town

[b]Appearance:[/b] An orange bob decorates her head, standing like a fireball over her shoulders, an image further detailed by red highlights of various lengths, so oily and shiny that they seem to drip color. Her skin is fair, but accented by a pseudo-beige farmers tan, marking areas covered by bracelets, tall socks, and sometimes high-waters. She has a boxy sort of face with a smoothed nose, and a field of fiery freckles that burst over the bridge of her nose, extending to the extremities of with cheek. She has a slender physique, not outstandingly shapely, but fully developed.

Typically she wears the colors orange, red, yellow, or white. A tide-dye shirt isn't an unheard of, but she typically will wear a unicolor T-shirt with a grey hooded jacket on top of it. On her lower half, she will likely wear a pair of loose-fitting cargo pants with a tone matching a Reese's cup wrapper. Her socks are the sort that purposefully do not match, and she wears sneakers, white with orange stripes.
[b]Personality:[/b] She is vivacious and outspoken, seemingly unflappable and genuinely brave. She enjoys a challenge, yet feels irritated towards any successful competitors. While deep down she does care about other people, she has grown accustomed to looking out for number one. She is the type to steal from the rich, and maybe consider giving to the poor when she's had her fun. Ambitious, headstrong, and uncontrollable, she lacks discipline and a common respect for her elders. She is volatile and unstable, with anger that bubbles up like a volcano on a regular basis. Having been rejected so many times, she feels like a lost soul. Truly though, she just wants to be loved.

[b]Biography:[/b] Her father had initially been a wealthy investor, descended from a long line of businessmen, but poor decision making and a high stress life-style led him down a course of misery. Ivan Ruiz ended up impregnating a party-animal and nine months later, Katherine McKenzie was born. Her mother and father had disputes over who would have custody so much that the young child had mental breakdowns early on. Despite all the fighting over who'd take care of her, her needs were never met and she developed a very unstable personality.

When Kat was eight, her mother gave up on her completely and ran away, never to be heard from again. But her body was found, ripped apart, autopsy revealed that her undoing had been the handiwork of a Ninetails. Her case was hardly investigated, and justice had never been found. In the full custody of her father, she imagined that her mother had been killed by criminals, and quickly developed a conspiracy theory linking together the government, legendary Pokemon, local crime, and a few ancient civilizations.

The years blew by and hours of therapy provided by an increasingly reclusive father whittled away at her psychosis, leaving her significantly healthier from a mental aspect, but with countless surface level scars. Her father slipped into alcoholism,  severe to the point he sent her to live with his mother, her wealthier grandmother. Despite having been surrounded by money growing up, luxuries had never been extended to her before. Contrarily, her grandmother provided Kat's every request, almost spoiling her. Much more attentive than either parent had been, her grandmother cemented a place for herself in Kat's heart. Then she died. Before leaving her deceased grandmother's home though, she raided the jewelry box, emptying it into her own bag before she went away.

Kat went berserk, as a ward of the state she was shipped from orphanage to orphanage, fluttering between foster homes before finding freedom. Mr and Mrs. Alto, a young couple, gave her both attention and freedom. After it was requested, she was allowed to go on a trip to find herself, protected by Pokemon. As a sort of psychological quirk, she decided that her first Pokemon would belong to the same species as the one that killed her mother. So she purchased a baby Vulpix before finding her way to Pallet Town.
