She's typically seen sporting her black jacket, but sometimes she'll swap it for a green jacket. Her shirt is white with a pink bleeding-heart skull pattern on it. She typically finishes off her look with jeans, usually blue but she'll switch it up every once in a while. As well she sports black that'll she'll switch for brown or green pairs depending on the occasion. 
== Backstory ==
=== Early Life ===
Born in the small, semi machine obsessed town of Rustion, Kath is her family's youngest daughter. The first few years of her life were quiet with most of her family fussing with her even after her brother was born but that would swiftly change. Upon her mother departing the family due to no longer wishing to be with her father of several years, things got worse for the family. The eldest immediately took over for her missing mother's position, her older twins basically only ever did anything with themselves, and her younger brother was not much more than a brat. Leaving Kath alone to her own devices did not bode well for the rest of the family. She quickly turned into an aggressive troublemaker with no real adults or kids her own age to turn to. Of course, she did it for attention, but back then she didn't truly understand. 
Fast forward a few years and around town Kath was known for being a bully and brat, but this didn't stop her from making her first friend in Grace. Another hawk like herself, Grace was mute and one of the sole Mobians in town adopted and raised by a machine. The other hawk was a bit of a tinkerer, as well as a little bit of a thief because her father didn't exactly have a lot of money. Kath, sometimes knowingly and sometimes not, would run around distracting adults and the like to allow time for Grace to get what she needed. After a few years of friendship, though, Grace would eventually up and disappear from Rustion forever, but not until after Kath met Ingram. 
=== Meeting Ingram & Moving to Molitor ===
Though not her first friend, Kath considers Ingram her most important friend. He almost immediately curbed her bad behavior by slowly coercing out of it and chiding her on her aggressive tendencies. The preteen hawk would grow closer to the crow, currently unaware of her feelings for him. She became much more open, though peers her own age didn't want anything to do with her. Older folks, however, were willing to give her a chance to redeem herself. One such being Bosely, an older goat fellow who used to be an old famous singer and guitarist. As she reached her teens, she realized she loved Ingram, but didn't know how to show her feelings. Bosely had a penchant for giving advice and snooping in others' businesses obviously couldn't refuse the chance and quickly taught the girl the guitar. Kath would find the time to tell Ingram her feelings - at a talent coemption in town no less - through song and both started a relationship instantly. 
It wouldn't be long after Kath had a fight with her father that the young hawk would drive off into the night with Ingram far, far away from the small town of Rustion and into the bright city lights of Molitor. The first few nights were spent living out of their shared van before they saved up enough for an apartment. Things were going incredibly well for the lovebirds. That is, until the accident. Molitor is another city obsessed with machines, more advanced ones in fact and they're susceptible to being hacked. The two were lucky to avoid being directly hurt by the robots, but a larger vehicle during the onslaught had hit their van hard enough to nearly crush it. Kath would make it out, but her beau, Ingram, didn't leaving the hawk alone with herself in the city. Kath would go through a rough patch, one where she wished she hadn't survived the accident. It wouldn't be long until she made friends again, however.
=== Meeting the Band ===
One night in her formerly shared apartment, a heron broke in in the middle of the night. She wasn't there to rob anything, she just missed her old living space and wanted to drop by. Even though the authorities showed up, Kath dropped the charges due to her dislike of confrontation among other things. Though she wanted to be left alone in these times, the heron, named Jannet, would continue dropping by on Kath and stalk her everywhere. Attempts to lash out at the other bird was moot and eventually Jannet would bring her two friends along to gawk at the other bird. Turns out they were in a band, though the band was unaware Kath knew how to play the guitar. Eventually they would thanks to Jannet once again stalking Kath to her apartment. The hawk was offered a place in the band if the girl could impress their boss, Gem. Agreeing, Kath would inevitably go down to the bar the band played and auditioned for lead guitarist for the band. She succeeded and has been with the band ever since.

== Personality ==
Rott is best described as being mostly self-depreciating, a little sardonic, but typically blunt. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is usually honest if she thinks the situation calls for it. A far cry from her younger self, Kath is more willing to listen to and trust authority in her later years, but she's not going to a hundred percent listen to someone - especially if she thinks they are wrong. Rott is simultaneously a little cowardly, but mostly confident. She mostly allows her anger to take control in moments of self-confidence and is slowly learning of ways to put it to better use. Rarely is she sweet on anyone other than her partners and the rare exception she's around people younger than her. 
Every once in a while, she'll ramble on about her past to those who want to hear it, but she still keeps things to herself. She's extremely loyal to her friends and is quick to notice if one of them is currently having a problem. On the flip side, Kath is equally as quick to hide her own problems from her friends, feeling as if she's used to dealing with things on her own and not wanting to burden them with her own things. 
== Powers & Abilities ==
Rott has many a forms gifted to her by Jayanthi since her initial run in with the powerful being, however there are restraints on her powers such as the hawk not being allowed to attack just anyone with powers unless the gryphon gives her jurisdiction. 
Outside of that, the hawk often opts to either fight with her fists or more commonly, weaponized anything in her general facility (which usually happens to be anything from bar stools to her most favorite weapon of choice - downed road signs). She prefers melee fighting to long ranged, but doesn't hesitate to use longer weaponized items like javelins as much as she uses them as swords and more commonly as bats.
Rarely will she fight with her legs, but when her boots come off she has a strong grip force with her feet in part to being a raptor. She usually uses it to grip machines, but won't hesitate to use them on any beasts or strange creatures she'd fight either.
== Forms ==
Usually referred as "avatars" by Jayanthi, these are the forms she takes on when facing the gryphon half siblings:
=== Nephthys ===

== Relationships ==
=== Romantic Interests ===
==== Ingram the Crow ====
Ingram was Rott's very first lover, but also her very first and only best friend. The crow helped out the hawk with all her anger problems and her generally isolation in her childhood. Ingram brought out a sweeter side to her that was swiftly swept away the moment he passed away resulting in her more jaded and sardonic self today.
==== Al the Cat ====
Rott met Al around the same time she had met Jayanthi and the cat was Rott's first real boyfriend, or so she thought at the time, since the death of her first boyfriend. Their time together was short but Al brought the liveliness back out of Rott after losing her last lover. During the end of their time together, Al told Rott he wasn't ready for commitment resulting in the two deciding to remain friends instead. 
==== HIRAM ====
Rott had met HIRAM directly after her time with Al, the hawk seeking out comfort from him due to such in addition to remembering her fallen lover as well. Rott found him very sweet and understanding, but hated how the potential relationship was mocked and looked down upon by others. She also despised how others mistreated the machine, but the idea of relationship wouldn't last. HIRAM wasn't built to be a robot that knew the complexities of romance, so a relationship could never be. 
==== Glenwood the Crane ====
Rott had met Glenwood shortly before the hawk became a brief member of G.U.N. Though the crane isn't the brightest of bulbs, Rott found him extremely endearing and adored how gentle and good intentioned he could be. Rott really wanted to start a life with him, but she refused to be used as a war machine by G.U.N. Being a G.U.N Agent, Glenwood wasn't willing to leave his position and Rott wanted to be as far from G.U.N as possible so their relationship ended. 
==== Finley the Fox ====
Dive asked Rott to be the second girl on her double date seeing as Foster's twin brother didn't have one. Rott agreed and after meeting Finley she thought that it was too good to be true. A sucker for soft and kind men, Rott took an immediate liking towards Finley and likewise for the fox. However, Finley was a bit older than Rott and wanted to settle down. Rott, remembering her faulty relationship with her family and worried about turning out like her father, realized that the idea of settling down right now wasn't a good idea and let Finley go.
==== Ren the Hare ====
Initially entranced to the hare by his looks, Rott had fallen for and began to admire Ren for much more. However, Ren is a man who is already used to attention from many women so he promptly didn't care for the hawk and her ogling of him. Rott ignored his stalwart walls, which is what she admired the most about the man. The ability to look like he shirked his past pain, something of which the hawk wanted to understand and wanted for herself. Not wanting to burden him, however, she never let him know this.
==== Amorpha ====
In one of the most depressive episodes yet, Rott was 'wooed' by Amorpha after meeting the Seedrain at her own bar. To be truthful towards herself, Rott originally was using Amorpha to fill the void left by all her considered failures. Then she genuinely started wanting to be with the Seedrian, up until Amorpha's betrayal that is. After being tortured for her powers for days in the Seedrian's lab, the hawk came to despise Amorpha and absolutely nothing could change her mind about the other woman. To this day she will not speak her name.
==== Dev the Dove ====
Off the heels of her time with Amorpha, Rott had met Dev. Being in a much more depressed state than before she was easily manipulated by the dove. She practically let Dev berate and insult her at almost all times with little reaction. However, she thought this would be the testament of how bad things could get. Soon she would be betrayed yet again, but luckily she easily thwarted Dev after defeating his 'master'. She only forgave him because of her previous betrayal considering Dev only wanted to kill her and never tortured her.

=== Friends ===
==== Dive the Kestrel ====
Teal, otherwise known as Dive, is Kath's best friend and the second front man of their band as well as the bassist. Teal is a tad naive, but Kath doesn't mind that since she's sheltered and a bit naive as well. She likes to tease the younger bird from time to time, but never lets it get out of hand. She genuinely cares for the kestrel and will get into fights for her.
==== Ripple the Heron ====
Another close friend of Kath and the keyboardist of the band, Jannet is who she hangs out with when she really wants to party and let loose. She has no hard feelings from the time the heron broke into her apartment, though she still finds her odd from doing it. Interestingly enough, it is Ripple who brings Kath back down to earth whenever the girl gets depressed. angry, or anxious.
==== Marrow the Bearded Vulture ====
Marrow, her real name being Rea, is another close friend of Kath but there's still things the hawk doesn't entirely know about her. She thought Marrow was attractive when they first met, but Marrow quickly turned her down knowing the hawk probably wasn't going to want the same type of relationship she wanted. Still, Rott gets along with her fine enough. She plays the drums for their band.
==== Gem the Condor ====
Gem, whose real name is Nelinha, is the manager of the band so to speak. Because of this Kath and Gem know each other on a 'professional' basis but the hawk still considers her a close friend. Similar to Ripple, Gem is another person who helps out Kath when she's especially anxious.
==== Jayanthi the Gryphon ====
Jayanthi is considered Kath's 'master' but their relationship outside of fighting Jayanthi's siblings isn't close to one. The gryphon is being taught a lot about life through living with the hawk and the rest of their band. She's grateful for it, though Kath has an unnerving feeling about the gryphon in recent times.
==== Altoros ====
Atoros is a large automaton who Kath considers a great friend and respects completely. The automaton returns it tenfold and if there's any person Kath would listen to completely it's him. 
==== Thea the Cat ====
Thea is someone Kath knows from a time both helped each other with their respective enemies. The two don't often meet up, but the hawk considers the cat a friend of hers and is always willing to help her if the hawk isn't currently having her own problems.
==== Apollo the Wolf ====
Apollo is technically the 'son' of Kath and the rest of the band. He's a robot and lives with the group after Thea handed him over to the group to keep him out of Enzo's hands knowing Enzo probably wouldn't mess with the band again. Kath tries her best to be a good guardian for the robotic wolf, but she doesn't know that much about his wants since he keeps to himself.
==== Foster the Fox ====
Kath knows Foster through not only his twin brother, Finley, but also Teal since Teal is dating the fox. She doesn't know too much about him outside of his modeling career and small quirks, but still considers him a friend since he makes Teal happy.
==== Orlando the Parrot ====
Orlando is Rea's boyfriend who Kath knows as a dancer. She doesn't know all to much about him, but she still sees him often and has no reason to view him in a negative light.
==== Bosley the Goat ====
==== Riverton the Bison ====
==== Merritt the Platypus ====
==== Ayla the Scorpion ====
==== Hoss the Horse ====
==== Stella the Newt ====
=== Neutral ===
==== Dusk the Owl ====
Dusk often plays violin for the band and is close friends with Gem. Kath knows Gem has a big crush on the other girl, but outside of that she doesn't know to much about Dusk.
==== Matthew the Mutt ====
Matthew is Al's best friend. She only knows he's a romantic and that he tried to get with Rea, but failed.
==== Olivia the Rabbit ====
Olivia is a close friend of Al. All she knows of the punk rabbit is that the bunny and Jannet spend a frequent amount of time together as 'friends'.
==== Vaivora the Zebra ====
Vaivora is a fellow model of Finley and Foster. Similarly to Olivia, Jannet also spends a lot of time with her as 'friends'.
==== Diya the Sun Gecko ====
=== Enemies ===
==== Authurius ====
She has never ever physically met the man herself. She just knows he's her enemy from what Jayanthi relays to her. If it's one thing she believes about Jayanthi, it's that the gryphon's father is an awful man for what he wants to do to the planet.
==== Enzo the Maine Coon ====
Kath absolutely hates Enzo and his company with a burning passion. Being trapped in the lower levels of his lab really helped solidify her opinion of him and she doesn't regret destroying it. She's lucky the big cat is not interested in going after her again.
==== Jayanthi's Half Siblings ====
Kath barely knows anything about Jayanthi's siblings until she meets them. She'd have more to say about them if it wasn't her job to practically end Jayanthi's siblings the second she meets them.
==== Cirell Normandy ====
A high-ranking officer at GUN, Kath is bitter towards Cirell and his war hawk tendencies. He's another fellow Rott is happy to never see again.
== Weaknesses ==
Her powers are easily countered depending on which power one meets her with. Powers of healing instantly vanquish her decaying powers, ground powers dampen her electric powers, pyrokinetic powers severely affect her cryokinetic powers and so forth. Rott also can't use her powers on mortals unless her life is on the line and even then, it's not a guarantee. 
Typically she doesn't have her powers and instead relies on her limited combat abilities. Kath loves to weaponize basically anything in the general vicinity, but all the weapons she chooses are melee. She struggles against fighting those who use projectiles above those who fight close up. 
Colder climates make it harder for the hawk to fight and fly since she's a bird.

== Trivia ==
* Rott is Fox,Fox,Cat's latest sona
* The bird having several previous relationships is a short of joke on live action movie sequels not being able to get the previous actors/actress back so the protagonist of the movie would always have a new love interest in the sequel but for Rott it's used a bit for character devlopment
