## Biography

Katy was best friends with Constance growing up. They were wild teenagers who drank and partied and smoked cigarettes. Constance was Katy's first love, but she never told her. One night, Constance and Katy drunkenly made out, and even though she knew it was meaningless to Constance, Katy treasured the memory.

Her step father had left her mother, and he threw her aside and had taken everything from her. Katy had gone away to steal a big score to keep her and her mom going, but while she was out her mother overdosed on pills and committed suicide. Katy found her mother dead on a hotel room floor on Christmas Day.

Katy was big into the party scene during the civil war. She spent her nights dancing at a club called The Balley, trying to forget her worries and running from her troubles. She made money though thievery and fencing goods, and commonly used the drug Skag as an escape.

Katy has a habit of falling in love with straight girls, as a protection mechanism from having her heart broken. She doesn't tell these girls that she loves them, because there's no point if they won't reciprocate her feelings. She was pining after her friend Sheila when the cops raided the club and took her away.

Katy realizes that she can't live without Sheila and goes to Cora to get information about what happened to her. Cora agrees to give her information if she procures something for her in return, and Katy gets Constance to help with the heist. Cora then tells Katy to go to Mark, who explains that he and his friend Ramon had stolen a folder containing the plans for phase two of the super soldier plan. Ramon had disappeared while using the drug TanSan, and had left the folder behind in a prairie place. The police were rounding up druggies had a warehouse full of people who they were drugging with TanSan, hoping that someone would blip away and retrieve their folder.

Katy goes to the warehouse and finds Sheila, and admits that she's in love with her. Sheila wishes that Katy had told her sooner, and says they could have had something together before revealing that she was the informant that had organized the raid on The Balley. Sheila had watched Katy blip away once when they had tried TanSan, and had given the police Katy's name in order to receive a monetary reward.

The police arrive on the scene and capture Katy, and force her to take a large dose of TanSan. Katy blips out of time and goes to the prairie place. She reflects on the cruelties that have been dealt to her, and how she keeps getting kicked around when she's down. She responds with anger, and after being passive for so long she's done being the victim and starts to fight back. Katy has two hours before the TanSan's effects wear off, and she uses that time to walk away as far as she can get. When she blips back she'll be far away from the warehouse, the police, and the previous life that she has led
