Katherine "Kitty" Booker

Katherine "Kitty" Booker is from Prefeton originally, but only appears in Orphan Company. She is a somewhat shy girl who struggled with bullies in her early high school days. She fought her way out of that predicament though, and improved very quickly. Unfortunately, it seems that the appearance of her powers are poised to undo all her hard work.. Permanently.

## Biography

Kitty used to live on the mainland, but transferred to Prefeton where her father was the mayor. Things were fine at first, but then she started facing bullies. She kept quiet about this issue however, and took it on the chin. Though it caused her extreme stress and depression, she resolved to improve herself and began fighting back. For the most part, she has been successful and now she hopes to continue her journey towards showing her tormentors that she was not the same defenseless and diffident girl that they knew. Unfortunately, her nascent powers seem to threaten her hard-earned progress..

## Personality

Kitty or Kathy as she’s known to family, is a very friendly but mousy girl. She rarely starts conversations, but strives to do so more often. She’s overly concerned with her appearance and is very selective when it comes to friends, having trust issues due to relentless bullying during her early high school years. That said however, she’s quite resilient and driven to continue to improve herself. She doesn’t care for mean people, but is very forgiving and understanding, sometimes to a fault.

## Appearance

Fair and clear skin, dark eyes, long and wavey light auburn hair. Kitty is rather docile in appearance and demure in her mannerisms. She is naturally pretty, but continues to wear make-up and often wears contacts rather than her glasses due to the lingering effects of bullying in her earlier high school years.

## Abilities

Kitty began developing physical mutations in Prefeton. Some have taken on a physical form which she cannot control, and it has caused her to lose much self confidence.

### Phase 1

* **Mutation (Lvl. 1)** - The first stage. An increase in bone density, muscle strength, endurance, and pain tolerance.

### Phase 2

* **Mutation (Lvl. 2)** - The second stage. A further increase in bone density and muscle strength. She can now lift up to 250 kg. Likewise, endurance and pain tolerance increase. She begins to feel a strange hunger within her. Adversely, the mutations begin to manifest externally. At this stage, Kitty begins to develop prominent growths on her head, shoulders, arms, and legs. Small scales begin to form on the large surfaces of her body (her chest, stomach, and back). Her finger and toe nails also start to morph into hideous shapes, as do her teeth. She also notices that a bony stub has started to sprout from the base of her spine.

### Phase 3

* **Mutation (Lvl. 3)** - The third and final stage. Bone density and muscle strength are at their highest, allowing her to run twice as fast as the average person and lift up to 500 kilograms of weight. Her endurance and pain tolerance are also at their peak. Her predatory instinct has now become amplified. The growths on Kitty’s body become horns and spikes. Overlapping scales now cover most of her body. Her claws, teeth, and bladed tail are fully formed, and her eyes take on a bright purplish color through which slit pupils can barely be made out. A pair of divisible arms have also sprouted painfully from her back, and her forearms now house a pair of folding blades made from bone.. Her lower jaw has also split down the middle. *\*She is NOT yet able to de-mutate herself and sees herself as an abomination.*

* **Rapid Regeneration (Lvl. 3)** - Unless her head is cut off or her heart destroyed, she can regrow lost limbs within days and heal from injuries that would kill most people. Kitty also becomes exceptionally hungry for meat and appears to heal more quickly when she consumes any sort of flesh.

## Skills

Kitty is something of an all-rounder. She’s a good student and a quick learner. Very good at listening as well as baking.

## Weaknesses

On the flip side, Kitty can be extremely indecisive and at times impatient. She can be very hard to get through to, especially to strangers.
