Place of Birth: New Orleans, Louisiana
Kathryn was a mistake. Both her parents were sixteen when she was born. But they were crazy in love. They somehow made it work, with help from Adele's family (not Damien's as they disapproved). Then, five years later, she had her first sister. The kids kept coming and the family just managed to get by.
Then The Great War came. Needing the money, Kathryn's dad signed up to enlist. He was among the first recruits to go out in 1914; Adele was pregnant with triplets. Damien was wounded, badly, within the first year and had returned by 1916. His left leg was practically useless and his left arm was. Kat was twelve when she went her first day without a meal. The last baby came later that year.
When Kat graduated from high school, she immediately got a job as a waitress, working every shift and every hour she could get. It helped, but not enough. Especially when Adele's sister died, already a widow from the war, and her four kids had nowhere else to go. The Bonnets took them in. Four more mouths to feed in a house where the parents and two eldest were already going hungry.
When Kat turned twenty, she got fired. She had the best income in the household and she had gotten fired for missing five days. It was just that the triplets had gotten sick and infected practically the rest of the house so she had to take care of them all. But the manager of the diner didn't really care about that. So Kat headed North, hoping to hit New York and make better money.
After a few months in New York, her new-made friend, Louise, said she was heading up to Maine, just 'cause. Kat tagged along and quickly got a job within Malone's speakeasy. The money she makes there is better than anything else she ever had. She works a few other jobs on the side, whatever she can get really. She's stooped pretty low. The only thing she hasn't done is anything of a sexual nature. Yet. She's hoping she never has to sell what little dignity she has left for that.

Kathryn is pretty down-to-earth, altogether. She knows what reality is and how to manuever around it. She's also rather happy-go-lucky, enjoying the little things in life because she doesn't really have any big things to celebrate. Always with a smile, very few people are able to tell whether the smile is genuine or an act. Eight times out of ten? It's an act.
She's a determined individual. She has to be. She's supporting a family of thirteen people as their main source of income. Most of her thoughts are made up of mathematics, trying to be sure that she's getting enough, how much she has to make... It's hard life, but it's hers and she's living every minute of it.
