Kate

Kate is an enigmatic, athletic girl who attends the local community college.

### **Characterization and Biography**

Kate has medium brown hair, very light, pale blue eyes, and a thin build with a muscular physique. She speaks bluntly and directly, and has difficulty relating to others. Her primary interests include physical fitness, her education, and riddles. As a side character, Kate has the player perform various tasks to prove he is worthy of sexually fulfilling her. She has been a classmate of Ashley, Maria, Felicity, Emma and Juliet since their very first school days, and is typically avoided by most due to her unusual manner, unfortunately.

Kate has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specifically high-functioning autism. She claims to be addicted to repetition, explaining her enjoyment of attending the gym, which she attributes not to willpower, but fun. Conversely, her condition makes her hate the sound of paper being scratched or rubbed; "like eating ten limes at once". Also, while she enjoys taking immaculate care of her body, she dislikes her resulting muscles. While she is self-conscious about her arm muscles, Kate is proud of her thighs, and works out her legs a lot not just because she says it's especially important for women, but to help "attract a mate". She was made fun of in high school for being "chicken-legged", so researching how to fix it got her into working out in the first place.

Kate was bullied as a child for her learning disabilities - she barely passed high school, and no college would accept her, so she had no choice but the community college. She has not picked a major, because she is not confident she would be able to complete one. She took typing classes for three years in middle school, never passing 30 words per minute. Soon, she discovered MMOs (Massive Multiplayer Online games) as the teaching tool she needed, and within the year was typing at 100 words per minute. She also loves puzzles, as they keep her mind busy, similarly to her views on going to the gym. In fact, Kate frequents a gym north of Caliber city, high up in a building. She goes there three times a week at 8am, and it is the most expensive thing she pays for. There is noise regulation because half the gym is dedicated to yoga, which she particularly likes because she hates "roided idiots" screaming with their speakers on full blast.

Kate lives in downtown Caliber near the community center, in an apartment up four flights of stairs. She hates living near many other people, but needs to live with others due to difficulty keeping a job. She also co-owns her car with Juliet, whom she lives with, although she mostly walks everywhere. She likes hibiscus tea - it is her favourite due to its unique flavour, lack of caffeine, and high antioxidant quantity. She tries to drink it once a day, along with other teas. Black tea is her second favourite, but she finds it too bitter and thus adds lemon and sweetener. She used to hate tea as a teen, but changed her view on it when she learned of its health benefits. Kate also likes ice and snowflakes, clearly related to her favourite colour, light/cream blue. She is unsure why she likes them so much, only that they are interesting. However, she does lay out a few things; namely, that there are "over 300 types of ice, even more in snowflakes"; enjoying how nature can create so much variety with roughly the same conditions. While she likens the variation topic to humans and elves, she admits no interest in such. One of her favourite types of ice is ice feathers, not to be confused with feathered ice. Kate wishes it snowed in Syl'anar so she could see it for herself, however she can't afford a plane ticket to Syl'osi's biggest island, Kiir'vor.

Kate expresses to the player that she would like to try missionary sex, as she "wants a man on top" of her, and is not opposed to threesomes, specifically mentioning she would enjoy watching the player fuck Ashley in front of her, partially for "research purposes". She also appears to have a public urination fetish. In turn with her busy and practical mindset, does not wish to dress up for sex unless the player gives her the outfit and takes responsibility for cleaning and storing it. She even requests finishing either on her or a tissue for ease of cleanup. Kate also loves having her nipples licked, having used ice cubes on herself before.

Kate once tried Tinu at the start of college, as everyone was doing so and she wanted to test its harmlessness. Either due to everyone having different experiences with it, or due to her condition - or perhaps both - she had the most bizarre experience, where sounds turned to letters and everything was colourful and vibrant. She never tried it again.

Miscellaneous - Kate paints her fingernails pink, and curry is one of her favourite foods, another being avocado on sourdough. She doesn't like flowers, calling them a "pointless chore", highlighting the redundancy "to extend their dying lives by a few more days". She keeps a list of things she dislikes about people; as of Event 7, she says Felicity & Emma's used to be huge, now down to only five.

### **Relationships**

Kate has difficulty developing let alone maintaining relationships, so her interactions with others have been difficult. She is on speaking terms with Ashley, Felicity, Emma, and Juliet, though mainly does so later in their stories after they make up, Kate even being intentionally included as a friend, not just classmate. When Ashley returns from her suspension, she particularly finds help in her studies from Kate, and they help each other as classes ramp up their difficulty.

Kate notes she has yet to lose any family members, though we do not know anything about them.

### **Riddles**

Talking to Kate at the community college will have her start asking you sets of riddles. She has four sets, and at the end of each she has a harder riddle with a message box prompt instead of the multiple choice ones leading up to it.
