Kate Templeton

Katelyn "Kate" Templeton is a main character of the Traitor franchise and serves as the main protagonist of the main series. She is the girlfriend of Michael Andrel, the main protagonist of Traitor: The Grave. She is the daughter of Connor Templeton, the man mostly responsible for the creation/rebirth of Ink Max.
She was voiced by RaRaDelilah in the pilot run. She is voiced by Nikei in the main series, who is also the co-writer of the story.
== Appearance ==
Kate is a young dark-skinned girl with thick, flowing hair stretching down to the middle of her back. She has an overly muscular build, with large muscles and a sharp six-pack. She carries a massive amount of muscle mass despite being (biologically) only 19 years old. An interesting feature is her eyes, which are purple. In The Grave, she wears a light blue t-shirt and dark jeans. In the main series, she wears a black Re-Nylon bandeau top and grey Jim shorts and combat boots. 
== Personality ==
Kate acts out as an old soul of sorts. She normally lies a stoic personality, not necessarily showing emotions much. Thanks to teachings from Mike, she is able to takes heavy blows to her self-esteem that would shatter anyone else. But this doesn't mean she's invincible. Many times, she has been shown to break down and cry from pressure, PTSD or fear (I.E: When Jake furiously blamed himself for her and Mike getting captured by Ink Max, which made Kate become afraid of him, believing he was angry at her). When she obtains the Eldritch Power, her stature and fears become limited, where she refuses to sprout her emotions in front of enemies, as she believes they are a tool against her.
At younger ages (prior to meeting Mike), Kate was more timid and a slow learner, resulting in her being bullied majorly by several people. She still carries the trauma with her but attempts to bury it deep so nobody sees it come out at all.
Despite this stone cold personality, Kate has a tendency to provoke and taunt enemies, calling them names and shaming them in battle, all to throw them off and give herself the upper hand.

== Trivia ==
* Initially, Kate wasn't meant to be the main protagonist. However, following some story rewrites, she was made as its proper protagonist.
* Kate is pansexual, confirmed by Charmer alongside confirmation that her boyfriend, Mike, was bisexual.
** This was further confirmed by the Pride Month art thread https://x.com/CharmerMemerTWT/status/1796143766421537140
* Initially, Charmer wasn't sure on whether Kate's physique was possible. However, he has since admitted that her look is similar, if not the same as female bodybuilder Melinda Lindmark https://www.instagram.com/melindalindmark?igsh=ZTlmMWpzZTRkanU= 
** The fact they have similar builds was "completely coincidental" according to Charmer. 
* Charmer, oddly, had to confirm that Mike and Kate have sex, jokingly saying "yes they fuck."
* Kate's process in her workout routine that made her as big as she is was partly inspired by the routine fitness personality Sam Sulek has, where he cycles between clean eating/cutting and dirty bulks over a couple months at a time. Because of this, Charmer suggests that Kate is currently in her winter bulking phase during Traitor's events, stating that Kate might look "a bit beefier" by the series end.
* Charmer has said that Kate has a more powerful form set to appear later in the series.
* Charmer believes that the song "Sonne" by the German heavy metal band Rammstein fits Kate the best.
** Coincidentally, "Amerika", another song by Rammstein is what he believed fit Ink Max best. Rammstein is also Quarrie's favorite band.
