I'll Take Some Kate Headcanons. She Is Pretty Cool, And I Don't Hear Much About Her.

I'll take some Kate headcanons. She is pretty cool, and I don't hear much about her.

Oh my god oh my god I swear when I saw this I cried for a whole ten minutes because thank everything that you exist.

I’m not sure which subjects you want, so I’ll put different categories under the cut…

(TW// Mention of suicidal content

Home Life : “Beta” Kate…

•Lived alone with her mom- never knew who her dad was due to a pre-birth “accident”.

•Loved sleeping in… ALL the time.

•Played piano in her free time; if given the chance she would’ve taken a free ride through composition and performances.

•She’s not one to cook, but it comes the few days out of the year where she will.

•Attended Little Ranch High along with CR and Lauren. The bus ride would be an hour or longer and sometimes the occasional substitute driver would hear the Matheson rumors and not even drive them.

•Always did homework and other assignments in her room.

•After the North Cross note found in the game (It’s like scrapbook item 9 or something) and events in the original Eight Pages, Kate attempted to hang herself because of the constant pain from that thing. Since it was in the middle of latching onto his vessel, it was definite he’d bring his worst game only so she would soon be greeted with his true torture after.

•Closer to Lauren than CR; he seemed to always put Kate on edge within the last couple of years. 

Lone / Chaser Kate…

•By now she’s been burned half to death; her lungs and throat have been dried of any near possibility of speaking. (She eventually does spoilers hah)

•When she was latched by the thing, she unconsciously decided CR would be the sacrifice to end the Hayes/Matheson curse. Of course, it still lingers and doesn’t piss off.

•She’s an isolated being who is haunted by manipulated thoughts it’s created to taunt her; most consist of her mother’s words and Lauren’s poorer actions being replayed in her mind. This can be assumed why Kate would have a reason to attack Lauren.

•As a way to survive, she often cannibalizes her few human victims and otherwise feeds off of small nearby animals or berries. Worst case scenario… it’s sticks.

•Bathes in a nearby river or Oakside Lake (Seen in The Eight Pages/Memories), but even then smells like ass. Someone give her a damn hot tub to relax her sore limbs in.

•Was occasionally able to interact with Charlie Matheson; this ended quickly due to her sharing with him and acting as though she were a sister or mother to him. The thing eventually killed him off in front of Kate by pulling him apart. This was the first time she had felt misery since becoming the monster she is.

•The thing labels her as #4 and claims it’s due to her “importance to it/how worthy she is”. She does not and has never interacted with the other three due to #2 being claimed dead and #3 deemed unspoken of. #1 is probably most mentioned as a “role model to follow behind.”

Stranded Life: “Alpha/Stranded” Kate…

•If she were to escape the thing’s grasp, which is very near impossible might I add, she’d have to tolerate a lot of therapy just for her mental and visual strains. 

•She wouldn’t be able to accomplish her original intention of being a schoolteacher before everything went down. However, she’ll still silently volunteer wherever possible. 

•Kate still has access to her mother’s house, and she’s usually hanging around there with a sliver of freedom.

•Upon initial “release”, the girl herself is temporarily mute from pulled vocal chords. She learned sign language and taught casual visitors/tourists/investigators some of the basics.

•She’s still assumed dead, so the case on The Chaser is dropped.

•Literally could drop dead any moment ?? She isn’t in the best conditions.

•Writes stories and scraps characters as her fictional friends due to the absence of any live ones. Her favorites are the beings representing Charlie and Lauren.

•Her “sliver of freedom” simply means she’s still faintly tied to that thing. She can’t necessarily escape, but she’s fled enough to wander as her own existence.

*Fluff Bonus: Gets her own pet dog or something. Possibly meets up with #1 through crazy coincidences.
