Kate is a Post-Human who narrated The Dolls of New Albion. She is voiced by Kayleigh McKnight.

## Biography

The story of Kate's flowering is told in Caravan. She volunteered for an audience participation for the show, which turned out to be a very real performance of a long, exhausting journey across a desert.

That performance was one of the shows run by Raven and Lloyd with the goal of flowering post humans. The Caravan project was ended shortly after, and the newly flowered Kate helped Raven and Lloyd with their next venture, the Dogs Project.

Kate was involved with the second post human war, fighting against Sarah. Kate did not directly enter the fray, but worked alongside the Lost Ones who took Sarah into a subreality, and once they were through Kate closed the door, trapping her there.

## Narrations

Kate narrated The Dolls of New Albion. She speaks directly to Annabel McAlistair and Edgar McAlistair, warning them of their actions and suggesting that they change course. However, neither character seems to hear what she is telling them and carry on with their current actions.

Outside of the instances where she speaks to characters and is ignored, Kate is not seen to attempt to change or alter the narration of Dolls of New Albion.

Kate narrated A Pirate's Tale, which is a story more to her liking, and she stuck around that narrative for a while.

## Personality

Kate's overall stance on fighting is that she doesn't go on the offensive. An example: in a swordfight within her pirate Narrative, she would just wave her sword around. The most she would ever do is defend against attacks, but never actually launch an attack herself. And she had a blast while doing so.  There are very rare occasions where Kate will intervene with Narratives, such as when her thief peers sold her pet ferret Jared for fur. She Narrated them into developing herpes.

She additionally takes a noninterventionist stance with her narrations, which is unusual for posthumans. She does not believe in changing the narrative, as she believes it must be personal choice. Kate is smart in a way that she never cracks under pressure, and she prefers to spend her time in New Albion.

## List of Animals Kate Has Owned

* A dog named Molly Mittens. When Kate couldn't figure out how to take the dog out of the narrative with her, she decided to stay there. She ended up stuck in that narrative for 12 years because she didn't want to abandon Molly Mittens.
* A parrot, in a pirate narrative. Kate adopted the parrot after the death of its previous owner and gave the parrot to an ex-girlfriend of hers before leaving the narrative
* A goat, in a pippi longstocking narrative. She became really close with the goat and they went everywhere together
* A ferret named Jared whom she tried to train to help her with thievery. The thieves she hired to be her crew sold Jared for fur.
* A horse that she borrowed, but then stole after she found it was being mistreated. The horse and Kate became friendly, but it was then shot by an unnamed man who show how "badass" he was. Kate then did something to him that resulted in him losing his testicles and being hospitalized.

## Trivia

* Kate's repeated refrain "Circles never stop themselves" is copied by Han-Mi in The Lost Fairy during the song Rhm. The advice Han Mi suggests in the verse is once again ignored, and Raven remarks that "It’s not like that worked last time either."

* Kate has several black belts in judo and jiu jitsu.
* Kate and Lloyd Allen had a perfectly decent relationship. A little polite and not so warm, but at times you would also almost swear they were related. Like they had many similar qualities, only Lloyd was the stuffy older generation and Kate the freer, younger one. They have good history, and Kate would bend her non intervention stance for Lloyd

* Kate kills mosquitos, but takes spiders outside using a cup
* Paul has said in no uncertain terms that Kate has never dated Mark.
