Kat/Amira

Kat is one of five spies in the (formerly named) Project Neverland group. She originally grew up in Nepal, and was recruited from the UNICEF Transitional Learning Center, Kathmandu, Nepal. Her specialty is cryptography.

### Aliases

Supriya Rai

### Relatives

Mother (adopted father)Sydney (adopted sister)Rio (adopted brother)Brooklyn (adopted sister)Paris (adopted brother)

## Skills/Abilities

Kat uses off-the-charts code-breaking skills to decipher encrypted communications. She also once won a £5,000 sweepstakes by determining which candy bar held the correct pieces and donated the prize money to her old school in Nepal.

## Before the Books

### Recruitment:

Kat was recruited before the books, when Monty and Mother were looking for her in Kathmandu, Nepal. She was able to create a bracelet using a mathematical formula and recite a pattern. She and Tru understood each other, despite the fact that they spoke different languages. Soon after that, she was taken out of the UNICEF Transitional Learning Center and sent to live at the FARM.

## Relationships

* Brooklyn/Sara

Brooklyn is the newest member of the City Spies, and is also one of the youngest. She replaced Charlotte as the group's main hacker. By the end of the book, Kat was shown to have formed a closer bond with her, even going as far as allowing Brooklyn to go into her room.

* Charlotte

Charlotte was the City Spies' original hacker and apparently was with the group for about two years. She and Kat had a close relationship, "thick as thieves", and Kat was especially devastated when Charlotte supposedly quit.

* Paris/Salomon

Paris was the first member of the City Spies and also the oldest. Because of that, he is normally the "alpha" of the group's operations. He and Kat don't have a particularly close relationship, but they have a light understanding, as they've been on a team with each other for years.

* Rio/João

As Rio (along, now, with Brooklyn) is closest in age to Kat, they share a sibling-like bond, with Kat offering Rio half of her sandwich in exchange for being the lookout and Rio allowing her to be the lookout. They do not exhibit much rivalry or strife in the book between each other, instead sharing a playful relationship with Kat commenting, "That's okay, I was always going to give you the sandwich."

* Mother

Since Mother is the founder of the City Spies project and also the person who may have recruited Kat, they most likely share a mutual understanding. He notices the way she looks at the world "differently" and her friendship with Charlotte. They don't interact much with each other, but they give each other space.

* Sydney/Olivia

Sydney is a year older than Kat is, and as being part of Project City Spies together for at least a few years (along with sharing a bathroom and a suitcase) they would have established a decent relationship by the time this story takes place.

Monty

Monty, aka Alexandra Montgomery, also oversees Project City Spies alongside Mother. She attends to most of their needs and seems to have an understanding relationship with all of her charges.

## Personality

Kat apparently sees the world "differently", which helps her with her cryptography skills. She's more of an introvert and looks at the world with mathematical patterns. People see her as cold and indifferent because she prefers not to make smalltalk and tends to be brutally honest. Kat also doesn't like people touching her belongings and keeps her room locked most of the time. The few chances she ever "came out of [her] shell" was after she promised Brooklyn that she would be able to go into Kat's room - which was a large improvement for Kat, given she mostly dislikes "other people".
