**Childhood:** Katie was born in New-York city and was raised by two loving parents who rarely fought. At the age of eight,

Katie wasn't happy when she learned she was moving to Miami, Florida. However, upon starting school at Iridium elementary, Katie quickly gained some friends and was happy living in Miami. Nothing more about her childhood is known.

Alongside her best friend Maddie, Katie started high school at Iridium high in August of 2004. She was in the year as Maddie VanPelt, Emma Alonso, Diego and Gigi Rueda, Andi Cruz, Jax Novoa, Tony Ryland, Daniel Miller, and Peter Caster. Katie was a member of the cheersquad in grades nine and ten until being removed due to the sport being considered unsafe for her unborn baby.  It is unknown if she returned to the squad in years eleven and twelve. During the summer between 9th and 10th grade, Katie was raped by an adult man she didn't know. Katie was around four months shy of her sixteenth birthday when she gave birth to her daughter Gracie. (See more down below.)

**Family and friends:** Katie is the daughter of Connor and Natasha Rice. Katie appeared to have a good relationship with both of her parents though didn't speak to them often in her adult life.

Even though Gracie was the product of Katie's worst life experience, she loved her so much. Katie was a sweet and understanding mother. It was mentioned that she was a helicopter parent meaning she was very overprotective of her daughter. Katie also appeared to have babied Gracie a lot during her childhood resulting in over-attachment. Gracie always had a hard time being separated from her mother and despised the idea of having a sibling.

When Gracie was a teenager, she was very unhappy to learn that her mother's new boyfriend had a young daughter. She started acting out and getting really jealous every time Katie chose to spend time with the young girl. Due to Gracie's unhappiness, Katie decided to end her relationship with her boyfriend because Gracie's happiness was more important than hers. This caused Gracie to feel extremely guilty and she made the mature choice to distance herself from her mother enough to allow her mom happiness with the guy and his daughter. Gracie appeared to be much less jealous of Michelle after this but still wasn't very fond of her.

Gracie was a very easy child. She obeyed and didn't step out of line. However, Gracie became very difficult as a teenager when she started believing she was all grown up. Gracie would often sneak her boyfriend into her room in the middle of the night so they could sleep together, she also often disobeyed her mother. Katie struggled to deal with her teenage daughter and once lost her temper so badly that she slapped Gracie right in front of a police officer. Katie came to realize that Gracie was old enough to be in charge of her own life and basically told her to do what she wanted with her body and she'd be on her own if she got pregnant. Luckily, Gracie made it through her teenage years without getting pregnant. Their relationship was much better once Katie decided to let Gracie be.

Katie met Kim and her son Ben later in her life. They were introduced by Andi and became super close. They were also next-door neighbors and spent a great deal of time together at each other's apartments.

**Personality:** Katie is one of the sweetest most kind-hearted people you'll ever meet. There is literally no bad bone in her body. Katie is giving and loving. She is sensitive and gentle. She is the kind of person who has only good intentions and always wants to do the right thing.

**Katie's teenage pregnancy**

   . Parents arguing over her. Natasha wanting her to have a choice, Connor insisting she have an abortion. Katie didn't want an abortion...

Katie was a month shy of her fifteenth birthday when she was raped, resulting in her underage pregnancy. Katie learned about her pregnancy roughly two weeks after her birthday. She was in tears when she found out. At first, Katie was going to have an abortion because it seemed like the easiest thing to do and it was what her father wanted her to do. (Her parents were constantly fighting about whether or not Katie was capable of dealing with the pregnancy and making choices on her own This really upset Katie who wasn't used to her parents fighting.) Katie decided against abortion because it went against her beliefs. At this point, she had decided to keep her baby. However, it wasn't that long before Katie changed her mind a second time and decided it was best to give her child up for adoption.

Katie interviewed one potential family for her child and made up her mind that they were the perfect fit, mostly because she'd be allowed to see the child whenever she wanted, providing it wasn't a holiday and she called first. After learning she was having a daughter it really hit Katie that she wasn't going to be raising this child and was starting to regret choosing adoption. However, she felt it was too late to change her mind. Luckily for her, the adoptive parents backed out of the adoption two weeks before the baby was born because they had gotten a divorce. This left Katie with two choices. She could turn the baby over to social services who would place her in a foster home, or she could keep the baby. Katie gave birth to a small but healthy baby girl and couldn't go through with giving her up. So she kept her and named her Gracie Peace Rice.

   **Katie's disappearance**

Sometime in February of 2018, Katie came to the academy to pick up her daughter and wasn't seen since. In April of that same year, her friends realized she was missing. Katie was one of the original five who went missing.
