Physical Description:
A lightish tan coloured coon with blonde hair that ringlets down to her midback. Dark eyes, wears a skirt, long sleeved top that shows off her assets and heeled boots. Generally a pretty, well kept cooner.
Personality-wise:
A grounded girl, who much prefers to be 'safe than sorry' on this dangerous world she's found herself upon. She has a wild-side, but hasn't had much opportunity to show it. Inwardly, she's scared, but determined to conquer said fear. She's pretty friendly, if wary, and generally wants people to be happy. Might be considered a little nosey, due to her power, but she's working on that.
Personal Information, History, Background:
Kate is the oldest of four siblings, the results of Sam and Bri's years having left Kaerwyn. She grew up in Seattle, not knowing anything of Kaerwyn or her parents origins. They weren't overly well off, but largely comfortable.
Of her other sister and two brothers, Kate was without a doubt the more popular in school. The coongirl simply had a little more charisma and, to be honest, looks than the others. It helped that she wasn't as into computers and tech stuff as them. That's minus points on the Cool-Meter in her opinion. That's not to say she wasn't smart, but she preferred to go with the crowd. As such, she remained highly 'In' with said crowd. As long as she wore the right things, new how to gossip effectively and was capable of flicking her hair 'just' right, she was set.
And thusly Kate grew up fairly happy. As a youngster, her mother enrolled her in the local dance club, which she continued on with as she got older. She got through highschool and college, studying illustration for the latter. She went through a few of boyfriends, of course, and is currently not seeing anyone, being on a 'break' with Steve. She was living in a flat with a friend, working as an illustrator for a small organisation dealing with childrens book publishing. Nothing fancy.
Despite how well everything seemed to be going for her, there was /one/ thing that set her apart from others. At about 14, she developed headaches and claimed to be able to hear voices. Parents, obviously worried, took her to a doctor, who could find nothing wrong with the girl. By the time Kate began to claim she could hear people's thoughts, her parents twigged. Sam's mother had a similar ability, and it seemingly got passed on down. They took precautions when talking about it, making sure she knew just how important it was for her to keep it quiet, but to exercise it a little so to gain better control over the headaches.
Kate didn't need to be told. That would be totally uncool! But she did keep a tabs on her newfound skill, with only her close family knowing of it's existence. There would be times when she'd slip up and accidentally quote something one of her friends were thinking at the time, but it was easily brushed off. People tend to believe what they wish to.
By the age of 21, Kate still made minor slipups, but used the ability to make sure she was doing the right things by her peers, having gained a fair amount of control on listening and tranferring thoughts. It was when she was on her way to yet another party that she ended up being detracked by a rather large rift.
Magical/Psychokinetic/pathic Abilities:
Telepathy
Description of Ability: She can send her thoughts to another, or read surface thoughts/emotions.
Limitations: She can't send or read anything if the target has a block. She can only read surface or 'broadcasted' thoughts/emotions. She must be within 30 feet.
Repercussions: She can sit and read thoughts for long periods of times, assuming she isn't stopped or noticed. After a couple of hours of that kind of nonstop usage, she'd tire and concentration would wane.
Special Skills:
Talk-For-Britain
When she gets in the right mood, she can start rambling on about most things. Not really a /skill/ per se...
Art
She has a certain skill with art and illustration.
Dance
Having attended a dance club since she was small, she's learned in the ways of a mixture of dance techniques.
