Personality: Katherine... sorry Kat, is a somewhat firey redhead genius. At age 17 she already had an article published in the Potioneers Gazette 'Sleeping Draughts and Knock-out Concoctions. Are they done?' to much acclaim. She received the highest grade in her Potions class for over ten years. This came to virtually no one's surprise for Kat is, not only one of, if not the best at Potions in her year and she is incredibly competitive. A passion she puts into both her work and the Ravenclaw Quidditch team for whom she is Keeper.
When not writing articles for Potions magazines or playing Quidditch. Kat is a friendly if somewhat bookish girl who enjoys time with friends, reading and inventing. Inventing can be anything from building contraptions out of paper to, inventing a new potion, which is one of her goals in life. People assume Kat has everything figured out in life. They assume she's going to go into Potion making in some capacity but Kat's not even sure if she wants to herself. She may just decide to go into the ministry in a non potion capacity... or play Quidditch. Then again, maybe her destiny was set for her years before, when she first picked up her cauldron?

Character History:
Kat was born on the Twenty-Seventh of May 1998, daughter of Callum Atherton and Claire Atherton. Kat was loved by her parents dearly even though the area of Glasgow where they lived wasn't the most prosperous. Callum was often getting into trouble from the police. Though he meant well he could not control his ADHD and was often violent, though very rarely towards his wife and daughter. When Kat was just six years old. Her mother developed breast cancer. The doctors were hopeful they could treat her but it didn't matter, within six weeks of hearing the news Claire died. Callum spent one night consoling Kat as best, he and Kat spent a whole night talking fondly about Claire until Kat fell asleep. When Kat woke up, Callum had gone and she would not see him again. Callum got into a rage and beat up a man in a pub the day after Claire died. He was arrested but social services felt that Callum was too dangerous to leave Kat with, so instead she went to Claire's sister Kirsty to live along with Kirsty's son Craig.
As was expected with this trauma, Kat did not show any signs of magic until nearing her eighth birthday. One day at school. While tidying up a project she was working on while everyone else was on break, she somehow managed to stick all the tables and chairs of the classroom onto the floor. These magical moments continued, sometimes she'd change the colour of her hair sometimes she'd make a stick levitate. Craig was adamant that Kat was a freak and would call her that almost constantly, pushing her around and bullying her. Kirsty hardly mentioned it, but seemed concern and worried for Kat to a certain extent.
When she turned eleven she got a visit from a wizard telling her that she was accepted to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The whole revelation was a shock to Kat. Her aunt told her that 'whatever happens happens. Aint nothing we can do about it.' Callum meanwhile became terrified of Kat. Almost to a point where he didn't want to live under the same roof as her.
Starting at Hogwarts she was sorted into Ravenclaw and became happy for the first time in a long while. She had good friends, she was enjoying her subjects and found a new passion in Quidditch. In her third year she tried out for the Ravenclaw team and got the Keeper position. In her fifth year she completed her O.W.Ls with 8 O's and one A in DADA.
Now in her seventh year she is considered one of the best potions makers in Hogwarts, captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team and set to achieve brilliantly in the Potions N.E.W.T
