about
Kathy is one of my oldest rp characters and always meant to have different identities she could take on, but the shapeshifter part came later to balance her out a bit.
story
Kathy has an incredibly dark past; her parents were always fighting about everything, but especially the kids, and she felt like it would be better if they didn't have her and that she was forcing them to stay together even though they hated each other so much, or that she simply wasn't the right daughter and maybe they wouldn't fight if she had been different, if she had less problems at school and with other kids. Her dad eventually committed murder/suicide, killing her mom and himself, and Kathy would always blame herself for this, as well as her brother's response of becoming severely depressed and cutting off contact with the entire world. She really wanted to stop being who she was. She wanted to be a totally different girl... So she changed. And she never quite stopped changing! Even after changing her name to Kathy, moving out, getting a job, her appearance still shifts a lot with her mood. Not fast enough to be able to tell in real-time, but she may look slightly different from day to day, shrinking and growing, her proportions, facial features, hair type and colour, complexion and so on all morph slowly and along with her state of mind. Nowadays she lives in with Jessica and sells sandwiches and hot drinks to customers of the cafe she works in.
personality
Kathy's moods are always in extremes--she's never just a little sad or happy, she's either absolutely heartbroken and crying a river or beaming with excitement and cheer! Fortunately, the latter is her default mood and she always tries to be positive. She is generally a very captivating and feminine person. While she is generally cheerful and friendly, she has moments where she says or does things that are sort of random and unexpected, like she's acting out of character. Her entire personality (among other things) seems to change with her mood swings.
