History:
Kat was born to her mother and her adopted father, though to be clear she has no idea that Duncan isn't her biological father. She was told all of her life that Duncan fathered her, so there's really no way for her to know that a different man gave her half of her DNA. As far as she is concerned, her half siblings have been and always will be her full siblings.
She grew up with her mother pregnant most of her young life, so she spent a lot of time taking care of them and giving her mom a break when she needed rest. People always wonder how Mrs. Grey took care of eight kids. The answer is simply that Kat took care of them, picking them up when they needed to be rocked, feeding them, playing with them. She didn't have a very normal childhood given that there was always a toddler to take care of, but Kate never really minded.
Through elementary school, she had a best male friend who would spend time with her when she was able to get away for a few minutes. His name is Bradley Grimson, and he was one of the few people in the world that could make Kate laugh when she was otherwise serious about her schooling and getting through work. They were in class together through middle school, where he began to take notice of other girls.
But never Kate, who had had a crush on him since he had given her a special valentine in fourth grade. They never talked about that, though she often wondered if he shared her feelings. When they were in seventh grade, there was a dance that she and all the other seventh graders were invited to. Brad didn't ask her though; he asked the popular, pretty girl.
A frustrated and unhappy Kate went to find her own way of getting him to notice her. What she found was her mother's grimoire, and she opened it to see what was inside. She discovered a love spell for eternal love; in her anger and sadness, she decided to go ahead and try it. It took her several days to come up with the ingredients, but on the day of the dance she lit her candles and incense and worked her magic.
The end result was that she had bound their hearts together for the rest of their lives. See, he had liked her back, and as such her spell had strengthened his love so that it was an unbreakable spell. When she realized what she had done, as well as, as far as she could tell, taking away his free will, Kate went to her mother in tears. Her mother simply said that she had cast a spell that could not be undone, no matter what she said or did or spelled.
So Kate stopped talking to Brad, and their relationship became strained even while they both were deeply in love with each other. She experimented with voodoo magic through high school and college, trying to figure out a way to reverse it, but everywhere she went said the spell was unbreakable. Her guilt, however, would never allow her to explore the emotions that she believed were magic based.
From college she got a degree in elementary education, always good with kids, and moved back home to teach. She dabbles with magic still, but she refuses to talk to Brad and will duck away rather than confront him. Right now she's backing her little sister and raising her siblings, as her mother has withdrawn. She's a kind and patient sort, even if she does have her secrets in her past.

Roleplay Sample:Larkfoot was certainly like a mother to the she cat, even if she was now her leader; she had helped Hawkstar in training her, back way back then. Dapplepaw had been her first experience with training, and she had been excited to see what the she cat could learn. It was easy, really, for Larkfoot to train kits in being a warrior; she almost had a sixth sense for how each apprentice learned, how each one needed to be approached. Her brother had praised her for it, and he had also been the first to discover the quiet wisdom and guidance that Larkfoot had. She was willing to listen, willing to give advice.
Not being a leader suited her just well. She still intended to have kits, if she could find the right tom, and so she had no intention of being a leader. The ruling of the clan she would leave to cats who were more skilled at that than she. She also was quite busy in watching over the nursery; for being a she cat with no kits, she knew a lot about birthing and rearing kits. More than one mother had scolded her for getting too into business that wasn't her own, but Larkfoot wanted what was best for the kits.
She had been meaning to ask Dapplestar about the missing kit; though she had assumed that the kit was simply taking it easy, she had not seen her playing about the nursery in a few days. It was troubling, especially given how Ashsky had demeaned the kit, but Larkfoot would never believe that a she cat could abandon her kit somewhere. The matter left a foul taste in proud Larkfoot's mouth, and she had already determined that something would have to be done.
"I'm sure you'll see the right cat soon enough," Larkfoot purred warmly. She believed in Starclan's guidance, even in matters such as the death of her brother. Her purr grew deeper and fonder as the other she cat nuzzled her; she returned the favor, treating the she cat as she would treat any daughter of hers. "Then I would be glad to take her. I will do my best to make her a good warrior for Starclan."
Her face grew graver though as Dapplestar brought up Palekit. "I haven't seen her," the she cat mewed. "I do hope that something has not happened to her, though we would surely have heard of such." She turned her ginger head at the approach of another familiar face, the clan's medicine cat. Angelfire's white coat didn't stand out much, it was still apparent against the snow. "Greetings, Angelfire," she meowed. "I do not believe you are. I trust you do not have Palekit in your care, do you? She seems to have gone missing to our knowledge."CREDITS
