Kat Mitchell

*"There's a saying in my family. Kill a demon today, face the devil tomorrow."* - Kat about her family.

**Katherine Paige "Kat" Mitchell** is a daughter of the Next Generation of Charmed witches as well as one of the twins of Charmed One; Paige Matthews and mortal Henry Mitchell. She is the older sister of Hal Mitchell and the twin sister of Trish Mitchell as well as the niece of Prue Trudeau, Piper Halliwell and Phoebe Halliwell.

As one of the only sets of twins in the whole Warren line; Kat and her twin Trish are both very powerful young witches and can be one another's greatest enemy or greatest power. As the daughter of a Charmed One; Kat has shown to have a lot of unique abilities though most of her abilities involve the slowing of time and even freezing things or turning them into ice. Additionally, Kat possesses the basic powers of a witch; the ability to cast spells, brew potions, and scry for lost objects or people. Like several of her cousins, Kat is part whitelighter, a trait she inherited from her witchlighter mother though she feels that being a whitelighter is not who she is meant to be but will let out a pacifist side when necessary.

Kat is a decedent of the Warren family line of witches dating back to Melinda Warren of the 16th Century.

## **History**

### **Early Life**

Kat Mitchell was born on March 21, 2007 to Warren witch and Charmed One; Paige Matthews and mortal Henry Mitchell at San Francisco Memorial hospital and at exactly at 12:05am, with her twin sister Trish being born ten minutes before her at 11:55pm on March 20, 2007 which was a big surprise for the whole family as the twins were a two months early. Due to having twins, Paige was to give Kat her first name and Trish her middle name while Henry did the other with the two naming their youngest Katherine Paige Mitchell.

## **Appearance**

Kat is a perfect mix of her parents and an identical twin of Trish, though they have their slight differences.

* **Hair:** Kat has long waist length dark brown hair a shade darker than Trish's and parted on the left and has naturally loose or tight curls which she usually wears straight down. Kat, having much curlier hair, seemed to have a much greater volume than her sister's and usually wears her hair down when she is sleeping unlike Trish.
* **Appearance:** In terms of appearance, Kat is an extraordinarily beautiful and seductive young woman: she has an oval face with fine bone structure, a wealth of brown curly hair, and almond-shaped, deep brown eyes with thick dark lashes and a slight squint. She is tall at 5'6" and the slightest notch taller than Trish although both sisters are slim, with a slightly athletic physique. With make-up Kat often favors a thick dark smoky winged eyeliner, and her choice in lipstick was a darker, sultry pink appearance.
* **Wardrobe:** Kat's choices of clothing are drastically different from Trish's with her wearing either leggings or dark super-skinny jeans to show off her fit figure, along with either blue, purple, or black tank tops. She would almost always wear a black leather jacket over her clothes, either cropped, full length, buttoned or with a zipper and always seen in black high heeled booties, open-toed pumps, or tall, black "500 dollar boots." Kat is also seen to wear a lot more jewelry than Trish, including her blue Wicca charm bracelet, and a watch as well as a blue locket.

## **Personality**

Kat is a very brave, intelligent and passionate young girl who is more than capable of taking care of herself. She has a strong sense of independence with a willingness to see justice being upheld as well as showing a strong aptitude for investigating supernatural disasters. Kat is often seen as being very guarded, and hates being lied to and always takes it worse when she finds someone she cares about has lied to her. She shows she can be abrasive, spunky, quick to violence, and has a tendency to be blunt and speak her mind. Kat is also said to be a lot like her cousin Drew.

Likely the most outspoken person in the family, Kat is also very witty and sassy but also innocent, caring and very thoughtful, and when her Mother died, she didn't break but stayed strong for Hal and Trish both of whom she is fiercely protective over. She is seen as being a very angry person, and unlike her sister she gets bored very easily, and her mind drifts often and she has a very short attention span. Like her powers, she is often seen as being an ice queen. Kat is also thought to have had her Aunt Piper's fierce temper, and doesn't like to be told what to do by anyone, though she relents with her parents.

As a Warren witch, Kat is found to be stubborn, sarcastic and has also inherited her Mother's rebellious and impulsive natures, with her tending to get into trouble a lot, as she is considered as the evil twin though its because she tends to act more on her emotions than she does with logic. Unlike her sister, Kat is also a survivor at heart, a trait she picked up from her mother, and through her experiences as a witch. She is known for being more than a little manipulative at times and pulls away when she feels she is going to disappoint someone as a way of punishing herself.

## **Relationships**

### **Trish Mitchell**

Trish is Kat's twin sister and her most closest and best of friends. As a result of being twin sisters, Kat and Trish have always shared everything with one another as well as sharing a strange connection with. Like with most twins, the pair had created their own little world, a world in which they would often pretend to be the other and in which they had their own little language, to the point that Paige and Henry were concerned about the girls' social state however soon found that despite the girls being really close they did have different interests and personalities especially with Kat being dubbed as the evil twin.

After the deaths of their mother, Aunts and Uncles, Kat had managed to stay strong and allow Trish the time to grief although at night, it would be Trish that would try to help counsel Kat. The pair have always stuck with one another and when the other one gets into trouble they are right there to back them up, though mostly it is Kat that is in trouble however Kat did help Trish while she was being bullied. Like any family however, the two believe in one another and would be willing to do anything for one another and like sisters, they do have their fights with their last fight resulting in them both changing their hairstyles, but always eventually come back together with them realising that they are stronger together than they ever are apart.

### **Hal Mitchell**

Hal is Kat's baby brother, and a confidant of hers. Growing up, Kat spent most of her time with Trish leading to her not spending a lot of time with her brother especially with him being younger and having a slight inferiority complex with Kat's powers, however as they grew older they developed a further struggling relationship with one another them having a lot of issues with one another however despite their struggles Kat knows that as an older sister she will do anything and everything to protect Hal and that he will always protect her too.

Hal and Kat have slowly developed a closer relationship since the temporary death of their mother, with them beginning to gain a better understanding for one another, though he does spend more of his time getting her out of trouble, despite him having his own troubles growing up, and although she is not as extreme in her protection over Hal than Trish is she is just as influenced by his life.

## **Etymology**

* **Katherine:** Its variations are feminine names. They are popular in Christian countries because of their derivation from the name of one of the first Christian saints, Catherine of Alexandria. The name originated from the Greek Αἰκατερίνα or Αἰκατερίνη (*Aikaterina*, *Aikaterinē*), which is of uncertain etymology.
* **Mitchell:** Mitchell or Mitchel is an English and Scottish surname with two etymological origins. In some cases the name is derived from the Middle English and Old French (and Norman French) name Michel, a vernacular form of the name Michael. The personal name Michael is ultimately derived from a Hebrew name, meaning "Who is like God". In other cases the surname Mitchell is derived from the Middle English (Saxon and Anglian) words michel, mechel, and muchel, meaning "big". In some cases, the surname Mitchell was adopted as an equivalent of Mulvihill; this English-language surname is derived from the Irish-language Ó Maoil Mhichíl, meaning "descendant of the devotee of St. Michael".
