## Appearance

### Casual

Katie is a sixteen-year-old Caucasian/Italian female teenager. She is the slimmest and shortest of the ladies aboard the Raven. She has brown eyes, fair skin, and disheveled light brown hair. She makes no obvious effort to cut or style her hair, so it tends to form two spikes on either side of her head and unruly bangs. She dons wire-framed, round, circular glasses with fake lenses to address her lack of actual visual impairment.

## Personality

Katie is a technical genius, and is more than capable of quickly learning how to operate advanced alien technology. She is also an intensely private person, often needing some measure of personal space and has a hard time bonding with others. She had a profoundly hard time with her psychic training due to this deep-seated aspect of her personality.

Among her teammates, she is closest to Max and Korou. Her close friendship with Max is due to him having known of her from his time working with her brother and father. Katie often looks to Max for guidance, and Max often offers perspective and focus when Katie is anxious or scared. Since then, Max has been Katie's closest friend/surrogate brother. Good and Katie get along due to their common ground as science experts, Korou's cheery demeanor balancing out Katie's excitability, and their shared history as she worked with him and did his maintenance. They often work together on the Zip Cruisers to install Katie's constant upgrades to them, and they often get caught in ridiculous situations together.

Katie is also something of a hoarder, collecting every last piece of new technology she can get her hands on, and trying to create something better out of even the most advanced machines available. She is always looking to improve upon what is around her, allowing her to adapt and thrive even in the most difficult or unconventional circumstances, even if it means dismantling alien tech and risking the lives of herself and those around her, such as when she cobbled together a tank of booster fuel for the pod that Goop and Koren used to harvest a Balmeran crystal for the Raven as a new power source. She is a little person who leaves a large mess in her wake, be it her large collection of alien tech or the bodies and armor of her fallen enemies.

Katie is excitable, curious, playful, and also quite sassy. She cannot keep herself from fawning over and playing with any new tech that she can get her hands on, as was the case when she kept playing with Rolo's cyber unit, Beezle. Katie is in constant awe of the amazing sights around her. When she and Max went on the Florunite homeworld, Katie could only gaze in wonder at the breath-taking scenery. Even their hippie-like guide seemed bemused at her curiosity. Katie defies people. She got into the Garrison and found out about her brother and father's disappearance with the Prometheus, which was a crime. She's captured and interrogated aliens, and also isn't afraid to speak her mind to her teammates when they irritate her. She's driven by four things in life: Finding her family, protecting her friends, fighting the New Order Empire, and exploring the world around her.
