## Background

- Before the events of BLITZ Team, she worked at her parents' grocery store as a cashier. She also took a class in taekwondo, in which she wore a yellow belt. She was always a shy girl, especially after being attacked by a burglar one night when the burglar broke into her house. In the struggle with the burglar, the burglar injured Cathie's left wrist, following which she tried to hide from the burglar. At this time, an ASSD figure jumped through the smashed window and killed the burglar. The figure was later hinted to have been Barton.

- During BLITZ Team, Cathie develops a close friendship with Ward, and he is the person she most trusts. She also has a high amount of trust in Felicia.

## Personality

Cathie is a shy and nervous person, who only trusts her family, closest friends, and people at the ASSD.

## Capabilities

Cathie is quite strong, seeing as she took taekwondo in her hometown. She can quite easily beat up an opponent almost three times her size, and drive them to submission.
