[B]History:[/b][INDENT]Born in 86', Kat grew up within a lower middle class family in Oakland. Growing up, Kat fantasized about becoming a doctor. However, when it came time to graduate from highschool, her grades weren't stellar enough to warrant a scholarship, and her parents, though willing, couldn't pay the cost of tuition. And so, hearing promises of being able to enter medical school after service, Kat enlisted with the military, becoming a frontline combat medic. Kat then served 3 tours of duty over 6 years, before being honorably discharged in 2010. At this time, Kat chose to find herself, and went north into British Columbia, living and camping by herself in the woods for a while. At some point, her money started running low, and she went to find employment with a hunting lodge, where she's been for the last 3 years. It was when Kat had been going on a personal weekend trip by herself that she Manifested, and was detained by a startled Mounty. She was then put into U.S Custody, and was then shuttled off to the states to be detained.  [/INDENT]

[B]Psychological Profile:[/B][INDENT] Kat has always been motivated to help other people, becoming a combat medic in the desire of saving people's lives, taking it as a short term alternative to becoming a doctor. Unfortunately, Kat lacks the intense mental discipline to pass through modern medical school. As a child and throughout high school, Kat was incredibly social, joining and starting numerous bands with friends. She has always loved being outside, and ran track for her school, once winning bronze. After returning from the front, Kat had changed, becoming more withdrawn and introspective. She was quickly overwhelmed with civilian life. Because of this, Kat retreated into the remote fringes of the world, valuing the serenity offered with a life in nature. During the last three years, Kat has slowly become more and more outgoing, returning to her previously bubbly self. The time in the military has definitely shaped her, giving her a steely edge that will come out when pushed. Kat also gravitates towards the 'big sister' role, looking out for and trying to play mentor for younger girls. Since Manifesting, Kat has been slightly overwhelmed, and is uncertain about how to react to the entire thing. [/INDENT]

[B]Possessions:[/B][LIST][*]Remember, they're in an internment camp.
[*] Steel string guitar w/ sticker covered case. (She used to play nylon string, but she kept slicing the strings with her claws, so she's switched to steel)
[*] Battered metal compass. A gift from her employer at the hunting lodge, right before she was taken away by the authority. Apparently it's from WW2.
[*] Military jacket with Red Cross badge. 
[*] A backpack full of medical equipment. It used to be a lot fuller, but the camp authorities confiscated many of the items. Kat is mostly left with PPE equipment, some mild painkillers, guaze, bandaids, and most of the items one would expect in a non specialist first aid kit. None of her saline or respiratory catheters were left, or anything that could puncture or be used as a weapon. 
[*] Enough morphine vials and sterile syringes for roughly 6 standard dosages for a gunshot victim. (I looked around for the exact numbers, but I'm gonna go with the sake of dramatic story telling and say that's roughly what it's like.) Kat was able to hide them from inspection, and has smuggled them into the camp unbeknownst to the guards. She has enough to administer two lethal doses to a healthy, grown man.
