Birth to Teenage Years
Katherine was born two minutes before her younger twin sister, Katrina, to Logan and Ava Avery. Not wanting twins for financial reasons, Logan proceeded to dump Katherine at an orphanage three days later. She lived at this orphanage for seven years, until she was taken in by a nice foster couple -- Carl and Bianca Willis. Katherine immediately felt an attachment to the two, and she saw them as her real parents. But, one night, a twisted witch took an interest in Carl. She broke into their home and proceeded to burn Carl and Bianca alive, along with healing them simultaneously. Katherine watched from the cupboard, which she immediately took refuge in. Katherine looked on in horror as the two screamed in agony for what seemed like hours. Eventually, the witch left, leaving her parents a pile of burnt flesh and bones. Something warm died in Katherine that day, and she developed a deep hatred for magic due to the witch's abuse of it. Left with no one to look out for her, she took two of her father's crossbows and set out. Katherine became a beggar to survive, and defended herself from anyone who would hurt her by using the crossbows. But, every night, she was tortured by nightmares of her parent's deaths, and Katherine was driven slightly mad. She started stealing and mugging, not only begging, to get more profit. But, as a result from the inconsolable nightmares, Katherine decided to search for her true, biological father. Upon finding him, all he could offer in his drunken stupor were the stories of why she was given up, and the fact that she had a sister, Katrina. Katherine saw Katrina as her last chance at a new start in life, and spent the next few years looking for her. As she searched, though, she went into a deep denial of her parent's death, pretending it never happened or avoiding the subject when she could, and Katherine's mind reverted back to that of an eight year old, just before Carl and Bianca's deaths.

The Sanctum of Heroes
Katherine, after years of searching, came upon the Sanctum of Heroes, where she sought refuge for a day as she searched for Katrina. However, she heard mention of a woman by the name of Katrina at the very place she was staying. Deciding to investigate further, Katherine discovered Katrina was the advisor to the guildmaster, and her search had finally ended. Katherine eventually confronted Katrina, and told her the story of her life. Katrina welcomed Katherine into the Sanctum with open arms, and Katherine, filled with joy over her sister's acceptance, took it upon herself to always be there for Katrina.
