### Los Angeles The Middle Ages, 10th Century

Katherine is the second daughter of Christopher and Esther wealthy land owners from the Kingdom of Norway in the 10th century. Her mother gave birth to Adalyn and Harrison in the old world, but after Adalyn was sent away with Christopher's sister Dahlia as a payment for Esther's fertility spell (which was later covered up by Esther, who claimed Adalyn had died of the plague), Esther and Christopher were so devastated that they decided to move to the New world, where their natives were strong and healthy, where Esther and Christopher had two more children Justinian and Maverick (who was secretly fathered by a werewolf named Ansel). Katherine, like the rest of her siblings, was born a witch, but she did not tap into her powers prior to being turned into a vampire in her teens.

Justinian was once violently beaten by his father Ansel for allegedly stealing his blade, unaware of the fact that it was really Katherine who had secretly taken it. Feeling guilty for the pain she had caused him, Katherine treated him with extra kindness for weeks afterward to make up for it, though Justin would not learn the truth about Katherine's involvement until many centuries later.

In her teenage years, Katherine once threatened Ansel with a sword when he wouldn't stop viciously beating Justin with a whip. That night, she even tried to kill her him in his sleep for mistreating Justinian, and would have gone through with it had Maverick not stopped her. Katherine, like the rest of her siblings, seemed equally afraid of Ansel.

Their mother Esther decided to tap into Dark Magic to cast an adapted version of Christopher's immortality spell, calling upon the sun for life and the ancient white oak tree for immortality. That night, unbeknownst to Katherine and her siblings, they drank wine laced with blood of, Ansel drove his sword through their hearts. After the children awakened, Ansel forced them to feed on the blood a local villager in order to complete their transition into vampires.

After realizing that wood carved from the white oak tree would be fatal to them if stabbed into their hearts, they burned the tree to the ground for their own protection. Then, after the revelation of Esther's infidelity and the twins' true parentage lead to their mother's death, Katherine, Justinian and Carson swore to each other that they would never turn on each other and stick together as one, always and forever.
