An ex-slave, Kat now lives with Bell and his family. She doesn't like to bring up her past, but its evident in everything she does nowadays. She helps out around the house because she cares about the people in her life. She never considers something "hers" save for a very few items. No matter what people say about gifts the idea doesn't really get across that well. She never wants to talk about the brand on her back and has been known to run away should it be brought up.

She is intelligent and reads as much as she can. She would be a favorite at the local library if she were bold enough to talk to the librarians (or if she didn't have Bell pick up the books for her most of the time!). Around the few friends she trusts she is silly and almost child-like.
