History
Date of Birth: February 26th, 1989
Home: Warrensburg, Missouri, United States
Family: Harry and Olivia Vines (parents), William (younger brother)
Death: Personal Tragedy (she grew up middle-class in a small town, excelled in school, and went to KCU to major in public communications, also joining a sorority, but she then fell in love with "bad boy" biker Guy Raynor; soon after their romance began, she discovered he was Risen Dead and would never again die naturally; she wanted to be with him forever, truly and wholly in love with him, so she orchaestrated her own motorcycle accident, dying in the secreted off-road crash as hoped), 2008
Mentor: Sardis
The Test: Trial by Influence (Masquers, the dominant local faction, Reaped the young woman; she was confused at first, she then eagerly confided her intentions to return to her body; they kept her captive, teaching her the basics of the afterlife, some of which she already knew from Guy, before grudgingly agree to turn her over to the Awakeners; Sardis oversaw her education as a ghost thereafter)
Comrades: Guy Raynor
Key Event #1: Treachery (the Awakeners agreed to help her if she agreed to their "price" of keeping their romance in the area, so that associated wraiths might feed off the emotions from beyond the Shroud, which she agreed to)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (once her training completed, Katie successfully returned to her ruined body in that ditch with some minor "sticking" errors, unaware that she actually brough a curse upon herself and Guy in the process by fiddling with fate; nevertheless, she found her man and rekindled their romance)
Transition: Victory (Guy was shocked and resistant at first despite his continuing love, but with the price she paid, he was happy to restore their romance and live out the dream together forever)
The Shadow
Appearance: Katie's Shadow is as linked to Guy as her Psyche is, as manifest in her choice of Conduit; through either lens, she sees Guy as the center of her universe, and their love as the center of the universe. Romanticism taken to a selfish extreme is readily exploited by a crafty Shadow.
Trigger: Whenever the chance to pursue her past hobbies (public communications, motorcycle-riding) is presented.
Padded Garage (Haunt)
Location: Independence, Missouri, United States
Structure: Bunker
Stock: An abandoned garage big enough for two cars, never mind two bikes, filled with tools and some basic bedding that isn't too uncomfortable if one doesn't mind the smell of oil all the time.
Traits: Haunt 3
Significant Other
Name: Guy Raynor, 2005
Nature: Romantic
Guy
Weakness
Love is Obsession
Katie has made Guy her everything, absolute everything. Aside from the toxic psychological dependency this has created, she is in deep shit if Guy is actually destroyed. It may be difficult to put down the Walking Dead, but it's not impossible!
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
She's lovesick and more, giving her many pressure points to push. Fortunately, she's also intelligent and listened closely to Guy's warnings of what it meant to be dead, and so she's always on the look-out for her Shadow's tricks.
