===== Profile: =====
Kat is a shy and quiet girl. As a freshman, she was a sexually curious virgin, too nervous to seek out a lover. She joined the Games as an opportunity for casual sex. Due to her inexperience, Kat was fucked silly in her first match. Despite losing badly, the pleasure drew her back every night.

Kat’s animal spirit is dormant when she’s not aroused, but her ears and tail remain visible. During the day, she wears a hat over her ears and loose pants to her tail. She doesn’t show her animal parts to anyone outside the Games, including her close friends. Kat and her animal side completely share knowledge and desires, but the animal side is uninhibited. Her ‘Nya’ verbal tic only comes out when her animal side kicks in. She acts annoyed at being called cute and treated like a child, but she actually loves to be hugged and pampered.

===== Affection Values: =====
[[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] tracks closeness between characters. In addition to helping determine who an NPC will help when they intervene during a fight, it also helps determine whether certain scenes are available. Such scenes are listed below.

[[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] is primarily increased by visiting, but many scenes listed in this section increase it as well.

==== Visiting: ====
Unlocking Kat as a competitor will also unlock the option to visit her during the daytime. Until the player has 10 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Attraction]] with Kat, the PC will only be given the option to Leave, but gain 2 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Attraction]] with each visit. 

After 10 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Attraction]] is reached the PC will have the option to play games (associated with [[attribute:Cunning]]), have sex (associated with [[attribute:Seduction]]), or spar with her (associated with [[attribute:Power]]). Each such interaction gives the PC 1 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] with Kat and has a chance of raising the associated [[attribute:attributes|Attribute]] by 1 point for either or both the PC and Kat. (The game reports when this occurs for the PC, but not when it occurs for Kat) In addition, if the PC has a given amount of [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] with Kat, you may access other actions. These all also increase [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] by 1, generally have a chance of increasing an associated [[attribute:attributes|Attribute]], and usually grant the PC and Kat a [[:trait]] the first time they are chosen. These are:

  *(5 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]], PC has gone to the [[day:activities:reference_room|Reference Room]] at least once): Animal Spirit (no associated [[attribute:attributes|Attribute]]) - PC gains the ability to train [[attribute:Animism]] at the [[day:activities:reference_room|Reference Room]]. (Does not increase [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]])  
  *(12 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]]): Affectionate Sex (associated with [[attribute:Seduction]]) - Grants [[:trait#learn-able_traits|Affectionate]] which grants +1 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] from draws.

==== Threesomes: ====
During the day, a threesome may take place instead of the PC's normal action choice. Those that involve Kat have a small chance of triggering if the PC has:

  *20 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] with Kat and 20 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] with [[character:Cassie]] while [[character:Cassie]] and Kat have 10 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] with each other 

==== Animism Training: ====
[[character:aisha#animism_training|Aisha will offer Animism training]] when Visiting the [[day:activities:reference_room|Reference Room]] after [[character:kat#visiting|talking to Kat about her Animal Spirit]]. Among the scenes associated with this training, the first gives +1 [[mechanic:attraction_and_affection|Affection]] with Kat and [[character:Aisha]].
