Katherine Marigold

Katherine Marigold aka Kitty Kaboom, is the newest member of the Hellcats, replacing Bomb Panther as the teams' demolition specialist. 
Unlike all of the members of the Hellcats, Katherine did not serve on Morag with the group and only joined them much later. 
== Physical Description ==
Katherine is a desert Ivir, raised on a desert colony in the third ring, as such she is not a Homelander and does not possess the mutated gene causing her fur to be red. She is shredded, with striped sand colored fur and sandy blonde underbelly, red eyes and short, sandy blonde hair reaching down to her jawline. 
Katherine has several large burn scars on her body, chief of which are one covering half of her face and one covering most of her back (including the back of her neck and arm. One of her eyes is blind and off color. 
She almost always stays in uniform, but when she isn't, she usually wears her old Grethion Military tank top and camo pants, or other sport attire. 
== History == 
=== Early Life === 
Katherine lived on a desert colony and lived a colonial's life. Her school was vocational, meant to prepare young colonists for the duties of maintaining and expanding a colony as adults. Her particular training was in electric engineering. Upon graduation, she was, as many other Ivirs, pulled in the conscription draw. 
=== Military === 
Katherine was an armored platoon commander for the Grethion Union originally, and participated in multiple fringe conflicts. She was highly distinguished and received the Grethion Star of Valor for exceptional conduct during conflict. During one of the fringe conflicts, her platoon was ambushed by an enemy force. All of the tanks were disabled and bombarded by thermite bombs, causing them to catch fire, while enemy gunners were suppressing anyone trying to escape. Under fire, outnumbered and out gunned, Katherine manned her tank's machine guns and provided cover fire while her platoon retreated, burning alive as she did. 
Though she was able to escape her tank, and even regroup with her platoon after the enemy had left her for dead, her injuries were critical. She was promoted to the rank of Captain and Discharged with Distinction. 
=== After Discharge === 
Blind in one eye, and terribly scarred, Katherine did not receive much support from the Union following her discharge. Spending her military pension, she moved from her colony to a more densely populated Grethion planet, where she worked as a security consultant. Eventually, she was hired by the Cartel and by her own request, became a boot in their operation. Quickly distinguishing herself as a blood thirsty and merciless enforcer. 
== Personality == 
Kitty is known for her very explosive personality, she is irreverent, has no fear of death or pain and an innate desire for conflict and destruction that borders on sociopathic. Despite that, or perhaps because of that, she takes great joy in the little things and often takes initiative when it comes to organizing parties or outings. 
She works out religiously, keeping herself in peak physical condition at all times. She cares very little about style or fashion and instead dresses exclusively in old army clothes or sportswear. 
Kitty rarely drinks, but when she does she's the life of the party. Exceptionally charismatic when drunk, she can rile up a bar into either a riot or an orgy depending on her mood, all while she herself never participates in either, preferring to conduct from the side. 
Unlike the rest of La Tigra's Cadre, Kitty never deserted and has no ill will towards the Union and much pride in her service. She will have no problem admitting that the Union is corrupt and despotic, but the lack of choice is better than the illusion of choice and as far as totalitarian regimes go, the Union could have been a lot worse.
