long version; November 26 2017 to 2024 (Brith to 7)
Born November 26 2017, a day later the power went out. Katelyn was placed up for adoption shortly after her birth. By the time she was 5, no one had given her a chance. Till a group home, ran by Dan and Willow Scharn, took her in. The married couple took in the younger kids in the system. Ranging from 4 to 10. Katelyn grew up without power but in a home. Living with three other kids in the beginning but ended with six other kids. The group home had a hard time keeping everyone fed. The kids would work in the garden and help around the house. But the strain of the world changing and the struggles got to the adults a lot. When Katelyn was 7, she witness Willow slowly loose themselves over two years. One day, in the madness of the house hold, Willow took a gun and shot up the house in the middle of the night before ending their life. With some luck, Katelyn and two other kids had snuck out early that night to stargaze on the roof top. The three kids packed up their stuff and lit the home on fire before leaving.
2024 to 2025 (3 months later)
Katelyn has been traveling with the two other kids. Twins, Riley and Trixy, who were 10 years old at the time. The three didn’t get very far from their original home, when a group found them. This group didn’t have a fixed name, but it was lead by Yana. A middle aged women with a wicked sense of justice. The kids were taken in and told to earn their keep.
2025 to 2033 (7 to 15)
Katelyn, Riley, and Trixy all stayed with that group. Working to earn their keep. From searching the area for food, learning to fish and hunt, and find other useful things. Once the twins reached the age of 13, they would be taught to rob other groups. Shortly after learning how to rob people, Riley came back alone. Katelyn and Riley made a grave for Trixy on the road side. Riley never spoke about the death of their twin, but Kate always felt something wrong about it. By the time she was 15, she could tell things in the group weren’t going to well. Yana was beginning to push the group as things got tough. Causing them to be reckless and loosing a lot of members. In order to survive, Yana made a deal with a larger group. But payment was half of everything.
2033 to 2037 (15 to 19)
Yana had been silenced from the other group, who sent one of their members to take over. Ian. A truly sick man who did whatever he wanted when he wanted. Along with his man who terrorize everyone but mostly the women. Riley, who was only 18, was one of the first victims of their “fun” nights. Katelyn later learned that it was suppose to be her but Riley had stepped in. She never forgive herself and shortly after burying her friend, she made plans to get out of here. A man by the name of Oscar promised Katelyn that he would help her. He was in with the men of the group and could keep her safe. By the time she was 17, the two teens were dating. Katelyn put her whole trust in them. They both worked to build up supplies and make plans on where to go. Close to a year later, they were ready to go. Oscar lead Kate to the outskirts of the group. He then revealed that taking her and killing her would give him a promotion. In the tussle, Katelyn tried to escape without killing him till he revealed he would just find “another bitch” to kill. So she ended his life that night and ran away.
2037 to 2037 (1 month later)
Katelyn returned to the group a month later in the middle of the night. She set fire to the camp and help released those held against their will. The girl then took off into the forest.
2037 to 2038 (19 to 20)
Now, 20 years old, Katelyn has been on her own for about a year. Seeing another person here and there. Sometimes making trades and sometimes avoiding being robbed. The girl wondered about on her own before she came across the Flintlock lodge.
