Kate Mason (Dire)

Kate Mason is a character in the web serial Dire, and is a main character in the first two seasons of the series. Prior to the events of Dire's fall of society, Kate served as Jaime Morris' therapist, offering the young woman advice on how to deal with her emerging status as a notable person of public interest, as well as her family disputes at home. Kate's sessions with Jaime would often be seen in flashbacks throughout the first season of the series, many of Jaime's decisions as the defacto leader of the group of survivors being influenced by the advice that Kate offered her in the sessions they once held. Unlike any other character in the first season of the series, Kate's whereabouts remained unknown, as the only instances of her appearing in the series occur in flashbacks. In the second season, it was revealed that Kate had died from injuries suffered from being struck by a car after telling Jaime that she was leaving the field of psychology. Her death was revealed to have taken place on the same day that Jaime met Jordan Cutler, dying hours prior to the pair's first encounter.
