Katelynn "Katie" Vaquelin

Appearence
Katie stood at five foot nine, her build was lithe and fit. She always wore a black hoodie, with the two cat ear outlines at the top, but they were for show, obviously. Her hair was long and brown, falling down to her lower chest. Her face was smooth and generally considered attractive, her eyes were wide and a somewhat light blue.

She always wore a different pair of average navy blue jeans and a pair of dark blue woman's sneakers. The shirt under her jacket was always different, either a solid color or a band shirt. She didn't paint her nails and she didn't wear lipstick or mascara. She rarely applied make-up, as she thankfully didn't have a problem with acne.

History
Katie was born and raised in California until she was 16. Her family picked up and moved to a remote town in Alaska called Sedalia in her sophomore year, her father's job requiring the move, to her great displeasure. Having been accustomed to the warm weather, her family didn't care for the town much. Katie was enrolled to the local High School, and had been attending for a year.

Personality
In California, she was already somewhat of a loner, part of a small circle of about five or so friends. Upon moving to Alaska, she mostly kept to herself, rebuffing any advances of friendship or attraction. She kept her grades to herself and her parents, but they were usually high B's and A's. She never spoke out in class or raised her hand to answer a question, wanting to just keep her head down until she graduated, hoping to move back to California.

She almost always had a pair of earbuds in, plugged into her phone and playing her favorite genres of music, whenever she could get away with it. Since it was difficult to listen to her teachers while listening to music, she usually just used the internet to get her homework done and, if necessary, learned the subject online to the best of her ability. Unknown to most except her mother, she often cheated at tests, as she was good at most of her subjects, but has always been a very poor test taker.

She loved her parents greatly, having taken up hunting with her father just to keep him happy, not holding much passion for the sport herself. In her free time, she preferred to stay home, either listening to music, reading, or using her computer to talk to her old friends. She had an acoustic that she knew how to play, but she could only play in the early afternoon, so as not to disturb her parents with the noise.

She always carried a golden-colored flip knife that her father gave her, without her parents or teacher's knowledge, of course. Her hoodie was a great help in concealing her earbuds from her teachers, and they had never had reason to suspect.

Katie's House
With her parents trapped outside of the town in the capital city of Alaska, and the upcoming three months of hell that they were all going to face, Katie realized that some major preparation was needed. She dragged Jeremy about the town, buying all kinds of supplies to make a safehouse with her father's credit card and spare cash.

This left the previous cozy looking house to look more like a fortified safehouse or abandoned crime scene under investigation. Every window was removed, the panes of glass being replaced with two by fours, with a small hole in the middle with a panel covering it, that could be moved to the side from the inside to look outside. Every window had this, except for one window on the second story in front of the house which was attached to Katie's room, which was left unboarded. The reason for this was one of Katie's ideas, having purchased a stripper pole and a good deal of rope to carry it out. She installed the pole in her room, giggling a bit the whole time at the irony, and affixed the rope to it firmly, so it could be thrown out of the window and used to climb down or up if needed.

The day before the solstice, she would use what remaining boards they had to block out the door, so that entry could only come from from the window. She didn't plan to spend three months inside the house idle, but she would be damned if she'd be going about the town with Jeremy helping people without a secure house to fall back on.

Relations
Jeremy Trenton

In the year that she's lived here, Katie has socialized with virtually nobody aside her parents, leading her to have no connections or friendships with anybody in the town. On the night that the attack on the school happened, Katie ended up partnering herself with the stranger and fellow student, Jeremy, since he seemed to have some knowledge about what was terrorizing everybody. Upon being attacked, Katie was a small use, having never been in such a situation before, and it was mostly Jeremy that got them out of the school alive.

She was very grateful for this, but extremely annoyed at how useless and panicked she was, and upon learning of the upcoming solstice, she decided to invite her new friend to help her survive the three months in her house, which with his help she barricaded down and fortified. She was happy that he decided to stick with her for the upcoming solstice, despite barely knowing her. Natural Skills Athleticism - 7 Intelligence - 8 Creativity - 9 Dedication - 6
