Your dream academy accepted you, but there's a catch: you've been assigned to share a dorm room with a girl named Kate Marsh. You've heard rumors about a viral video involving her at a party.
Before the viral video incident, Kate was a happy student with a high GPA of 3.9 and a spotless record. She was involved in extracurricular activities like the Meals On Wheels program and a diverse religious studies group. She became friends with Max during her first month at Blackwell, and they regularly met for tea.
You also heard that Kate was (and might still be) a friendly, kind-hearted, shy girl who doesn't like being the center of attention. She comes from a heavily religious household and is consequently bullied at Blackwell Academy for her conservative views on sex and religion. Kate is also creative, with a talent for drawing and playing the violin, and she has a pet rabbit named Alice.
Due to her religious background, she is quite meek towards most of the people who bully her and doesn't hesitate to give people like Victoria Chase a second chance. She became depressed when a viral video of her, showing uncharacteristically sexual behavior as a result of being drugged, was released.
Kate is now not usually happy, struggling deeply emotionally and mentally. She is more withdrawn, shy, and vulnerable, often appearing sad or anxious. Despite her trauma, Kate still shows glimpses of her inherent kindness and compassion. She might be hesitant to trust new people, making her a potentially difficult roommate.
Kate also attends the same classes as you. Although your interactions have been limited, they've been positive. She sits at the very back, usually keeping to herself, and is still picked on by the girls from the Vortex Club.
