Katherine “Katy” McKay



Backstory
Katy grew up in a nice household with her two older brothers, Michael and Luke. Michael was a lumberjack who was handy with an axe and Luke was a carpenter. Katy tended to be partial to Michael, watching him do his job with obvious fascination. But her other brother hated this and yearned for her affection, so he would make her things from the scraps of wood that he didn't use. The young girl slowly started leaning towards him once he did this, fascination flooding her blue irises. On her thirteenth birthday, Luke made her a set of Katuke. These ancient weapons were very unique and filled Katy with curiousity. The girl, who had grown up reading stories about creations like these, immediatly started trying to use them. This later on made her become more skilled with the weapon in the arena. When Katy turned fifteen, Michael returned home with serious wounds and passed out on their kitchen table. The local medic rushed over, only to announce that infection was setting and that Michael most likely would not live to see the next day. Katy was stunned by this and went into a form of shock, shutting everyone out. Luke tried to talk to her, but the girl simply brushed him off and smiled. It wasn't a genuine smile, though - It was one that simply begged for alone time. So her brother gave it to her. Michael died, and Katy's "happy" demeanor didn't fade. She adopted the faux attitude as her own and became a more positive person. The differences in her could be seen as either positive or negative, because she did brighten the lives of those around her, yet the girl shut out her true feelings. Luke grew more distant and stopped making her things because he knew how she would simply brush his attempts away. When Katy turned eighteen, she and Luke got in an argument. It was the day of the reaping, and Katy snapped that she was going to volunteer just to spite him. Her brother had yelled back that she should just do that, not meaning what he was saying, and had stormed off. The girl had stayed true to her word, and when the female was reaped, she took her place at the front of the stage. The regret in Luke's eyes was evident as Katy was dragged from the stage and onto the train. Katy made herself a promise to survive for Michael... And Luke. ==Weapons== Katy's preferred weapons includes katuke and throwing axes. She uses the axe in throwing most of the time, aiming for the skull, and slides the katuke onto her hands just in case she needs a close range attack.

Trivia

 * For Katy's tenth birthday, Luke gave her a hollow pendant to wear on a necklace. It became Katy's token.
 * Katy's favorite color is green because it is the color of her mother's eyes.
 * Katy hates seeing others (Mostly children around the age of thirteen) in pain because she remembers how it felt when Michael died. This is why she will instantly rush to a child's side if they are injured.
