Hobbies:
Journalism - Hobby is a loose word to describe how Katie feels about journalism. She has a passion for it, and with any luck it's what she intends to do as a career. Katie is constantly in the loop on all the local news circuits, and is just about always looking at her phone to get the latest scoop. It's not enough to just hear about the news, though, and as one of the newest members of Shlip's school newspaper, she's always out and about, searching for interviews, hunting for the truth of a situation. There's no yellow journalism here--Katie's not about to take any bribes to tarnish what she finds!
Volleyball - Katie did four years on her high school's girls volleyball team, and her junior and senior year they even competed in the state championship. The team focused on rotating positions so that everyone got a chance to play each part, but she enjoyed middle blocker the most, despite being relatively short for the sport. It's hard for her to find a place to play these days, but she keeps up with some of her conditioning, just in case the need arises.
Conspiracy Theories - Katie doesn't always check the mainstream news--who knows what the agenda is there--and it leads her to some pretty interesting theories. She doesn't actually believe in Big Foot, or Aliens, or any number of other things the National Enquirer might be going on about, but...hey, what if?
Virtues:
Inquisitive - At Katie's core is a sharp, intellectual mind, full of wonder at the mechanisms of the world. She's been asking 'why' since she knew how, and no matter the explanation nothing quite seems to sate her curiosity. This drives her passion for investigative journalism, to get to know people, to do just about anything, because as much as she might know, she's always thirsty for more. Along that vein, Katie is often the first to ask questions, to make mistakes, and to dive headfirst into whatever new discovery is to be had. After all, if she won't, then who will?
Clever - While Katie might not be the head of her class, and often times is classified as a B student, there's no denying that she carries a spark of intellect in her head. Where she excels is in improvisation thinking, and Katie is quick to MacGuyver a given situation to her needs. This translates into the way she communicates, as a fast talker and someone prone to stream-of-consciousness speaking. Her humor is also quick-witted, and she's often the first to make jokes when the opportunity arises. Puns are her absolute favorite, often to the chagrin of her peers.
Determined - For someone who seemingly flits between subjects at random, Katie can actually be quite single-minded when it comes to the completion of a project. If Katie needs an interview for a deadline, then she employs every resource she has to get the goods. She's flexible enough to attack from different angles, but she's not likely to stop until she succeeds or she wears herself out. Katie isn't afraid to dust herself off and try again, at least not while there is hope for success.
Flaws:
Paranoid - There's no such thing as coincidence--everything is linked, however small the connection, and as long as you find one piece of the puzzle, everything else will fall into place. At least, that's the way Katie sees things. She is more willing to concoct a complicated story about how the universe is out to specifically screw her over than accept that sometimes bad days happen, and even less likely to accept that failure was caused by some oversight on her part. Katie is quick to lose the forest for the trees and fixate on something that might not actually be of any importance, just to validate her own opinions.
Loose-lipped - Oh my God, did you hear what Susan did yesterday??? Even if Katie might seem like someone with experience and sagely wisdom that can give good advice, she's just as likely to use you as an example for the next person she talks to. She knows it's a bad habit of hers, and she's burnt more than a couple of bridges on the inability to keep her mouth shut, but really, secrets are something employed to keep the masses complacent. The truth must be revealed!
Impatient - Katie's mind is always moving a mile a minute, which means she has little time for frivolous things like waiting her turn. It's not that she thinks she deserves to skip other people to get what she wants or that she's 'better' than anyone else, she just needs to be constantly stimulated by the world around her or she's likely to make some excitement for herself. Unless she can be sufficiently distracted, Katie will whine every second of a stake-out, and if she's not making some sort of gripe, then she's jumped the gun and moved into the fray itself.
