[Backstory:

• Born as the youngest daughter of 2 to chinese immigrants in Melbourne. Her parents were emotionally unavailable. it was very much a tough love household. Her father was always busy with work and returned late at home. Her mother was always busy with housework. Her father rarely talked to her and her mother only talked when she needed something from her or was scolding her for her mistakes. She doesn't really have memories of her father talking to her or her mother talking in a normal friendly tone with her. Love was rare in the household, barely there and always conditional. Good grades, doing chores properly, they were expected and the only way one could get love in the household. If these basic neccesities according to her parents were not met, then the consequences were severe. Frequent beatings, shouting matches, seizing of facilities, groundings were commonplace
• This tough love attitude from her parents caused her to be very attention seeking as Kate felt neglected and was starved for affection as such she would do anything to get attention and affection. She didn't care what she had to do, even if it hurt her. One time she was asked to fetch something and she had to pass by an unchained hostile dog, normally someone would taken the other way or gone back, but she was determined to get back in time and not ask for help, because delays and asking for help had consequences she'd rather not face, as such she went past the dog and ended up getting chased and then bitten by the dog.
• Her sister, Carol's reception to this tough love was different, whereas Kate became volatile and desperate to do anything for attention, Carol became a quiet guardian to Kate and become the responsible one, taking the brunt of the abuse thrown at them while doing what was expected without saying anything, she didn't care about getting hit or love, she only cared about Kate's well being, she became the martyr.
• Kate was a decent student at school. But decent wasn't what her parents wanted. Her parents wanted top grades. Which while was easy for Carol, it was very hard for Kate even if she tried her best, which lead to a lot of punishments for her. The only she was good at was art, something her parents never really approved. Kate didn't have friends throughout school either, in fact she was a constant victim of bullying, which as time went on her logic twisted it and she started craving it as she was getting attention. Due to the stressful environments, she often crashed out and threw tantrums at school.
• The neglect and abuse affected her a lot mentally and she soon started twisting things, thinking of the abuse as attention and affection and wanting it. She wanted attention, didnt matter of what kind and would do anything for it, making up lies and grand stories for attention and doing things out of desperation. In highschool she started self harm just to get more attention from peers and most of all her parents.
• After graduating high school she moved out to live with her sister and attend university. She studied design despite the disapproval from her parents but still did it with the support of her sister. Despite having escaped the household it had a lasting effect on her mentally and she did not change her attention seeking and lying ways. In university she discovered pottery and took a liking to it, being one of the few things besides art that she enjoyed.
• In university she got into her first relationship, well it was more like she was taken advantage of and she was the only one trying. She did anything and everything for them, being absolutely desperate for love and affection but she never got it in the first place, in the end they left them
• She graduated university without much troubles, well excepting going absolutely wild at parties for attention and doing stupid things which got her quite a talking from her sister.
• After university she got a job at a design firm. She enjoyed the job in the beginning but the social aspect of the job began to weigh down on her and she fell back into her ways. She started going to extreme lengths to get praise and validation. She would lie about stuff, make stuff up. This lead to a toxic work environment for her and she became very competitive. It all culminated after she plagiarized something and passed it as her own but then the firm found out and fired her. In that same week she threw a huge tantrum at the pottery studio she often visited, where she went full on screaming for not getting the proper appreciation she deserves. The combinations of these events led to her sister admitting her in the psychiatric hospital despite her stern protests of being "completely fine"]
• Current Residence: Psychiatric hospital near the outskirts of Melbourne
