It is cut to just below her chin in the front and only SLIGHTLY longer than that in the back. It is incredibly, untameably curly, especially after a shower.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.25pt0in2.25pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:16.5pt;"> §   <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stormy grey eyes

She always wear sneakers with everything. EVERYTHING. In addition, she wear ankle-high socks.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.25pt0in2.25pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:16.5pt;"> §   <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Caucasian skin

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.25pt0in2.25pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:16.5pt;"> §   <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lips tend to be quirked into a smile, whether mischievous, friendly, causal, or any other variation.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Personality: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Typically, Katherine appears as mischievous, witty, and quirky to others. Sometimes, she even comes off as rude, though she does not do so intentionally. However, she is actually quite a friendly person. She values friendship and family over all else, even her grades (which is really saying something, considering the stickler she is). She is also incredibly intelligent, and has high processing speeds and IQ, which allowed her to skip a grade (or rather, half of fifth and half of sixth, see history). She can often be seen with a book, always fantasy. But if her friend needs her, she'll drop everything she's doing to help, whether it be advice, help, or just a shoulder to cry on. In particular, she is good with younger kids, and she wants to be either a child psychiatrist or a special needs teacher because of such. But her friends are almost always older than he, as she fits in better with kids older, and she has since the first grade. If you want a look into her sense of humor, just know that her favorite superheroes are Black Widow and Iron Man. She is very open-minded and hates being told she cannot do something became she is female.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">History: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Her history is that of a long and complicated one. It all started at a literary conference in San Francisco.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Her father is an author. Nothing major, like J.K. Rowling, but he likes to write and has a few books published that sold a couple thousand copies each, with a loyal fanbase. They both regularly live in Washington, but at the time (and this is before she was born), he had taken a little detour to San Francisco to participate in his first book signing at a large literary conference. About 1,000 fans were expected to show.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">What he did not expect, however, was Athena.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">She was the very last fan, and she walked right up to him and told him she thought his books were okay. At that second, he was a bit discouraged, but then, when they ended up getting together for coffee, he realized that he had just been complimented by the wisdom goddess. Well, the details are a bit blurred in everyone besides Athena herself's memory, but somewhere along the line, after going back to his house for a bit, out popped Katherine from Athena’s head (and yes, she has a belly button!). Athena left almost immediately after, and Katherine has not seen her since.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Her early childhood was the most complicated. She did not have it easy growing up. She was smart, fast on her feet, and quick to defend those in trouble. However, as intelligent as she was, it killed her to have ADHD and dyslexia. Her outlandish behavior already set her apart from her peers, and she didn't have any friends from the time she was born to the time she hit third grade. She had long since given up, as not many could deal with her snappy remarks that sounded more like insults anyway.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">But in third grade, she met her best friend; Madison. Madison had just moved from Arkansas to Washington, and it was a bit of a culture shock, so naturally, she was a bit closed off. However, Katherine took advantage of this and introduced herself. They immediately hit it off and became best friends.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, it all went downhill right before sixth grade began. Madison's mother disappeared, and she was placed into foster care. Katherine's father got weird, and moved her to upstate New York without warning to start school there. She was upset about it, but her feelings changed when she got to go to the premier technology school. There, she met a  multitude  of friends, all pretty outlandish themselves (well, it was a school for geeks and hackers), and she clicked instantly with the guys and the girls. Among her closest friends were an amazing artist with much of the same personality as her and had no idea why she was at the school (Nicole), and her friend, Abigail, who was her innocent and sweet friend, Asia, a quirky girl from Asia (touchy subject, don't bring it up), and Roya, her afghan friend who constantly tried to rebel against her conservative parents. As for the boys, she met Caleb, a kind hearted guy in her engineering class, and Noah, a fun guy who made as many cheesy jokes as herself.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Which is why she was so disappointed when she found out she was a demigod.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">She didn't mean to sound rude about it, but come on. Everything was just going right for her! She made a ton of new friends, had a great school with moderately-great teachers, and then a telekhine just  had  to attack her.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">She lived relatively closed to the school, so she walked home alone. Her other friends either rode the bus or were driven home, but she was sympathetic to her father and his due dates for his relatively-popular books. She tried not to put the extra workload on him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">She was not even halfway when she heard something behind her. At first, she thought it was a cat, but she'd always had quick reflexives, so she should have known better. It jumped out from behind her, and she knew something was wrong, mainly because, not only did it call her a demigod (what the WHAT?), but it had scales (again,  what?! ). Okay, not scales, but some part of the weird thing was definitely fish (immediately, her strategizing mind said to  keep it away  from water). It only had one weapon, and other than that, it didn't  seem  too scary (looks can be deceiving). Thanking her many years of gymnastics, she cartwheeled off the nearest trash can into the thing, knocking out the weird knife-sword combo in its hands. She picked it up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">It bared its teeth at her, but to her credit, even quaking in fear, she did not stand down. It barreled (thought slowly and clumsily) toward her, and she looked at the weapon in her hands nervously. She analyzed her three plausible options: stand and fight, run and it chases, or stay and die. Obviously, the last one was out. She ran out of time as it came toward her, so she reacted purely on what she later knew was demigod instinct: she stabbed the thing in the chest and it exploded into dust.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">She had lost her backpack, so she simply ran the rest of the way home, shaken. She explained the situation to her father, begging him not to think her crazy. He told her about  everything , and it explained so much, like why she had to move so suddenly, why she had ADHD and dyslexia, and why she reacted the way she did. She was driven to camp after saying goodbye, where Athena claimed her two days later (she's only been there for two days, though).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Weapons:  <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">She honestly just prefers a good, old-fashioned, celestial bronze sword. Alternatively, she'll use a knife, but the idea of close-combat fighting scares her. She'd use a bow and arrow if she were any good, but she's not.
