personality Rin King is, first and foremost, an exceptionally stubborn girl. She is competitive and proud, and honestly believes that she is always, or at least usually, right. Once she's decided to think or act a certain way, there's very little that can change her mind, and she's also pretty quick to judge other people. If she doesn't like someone, she makes no secrets about it, and makes no effort to get along with them. Her stubbornness also means that she is not one to change her ways- Katherine is perfectly happy the way she is, and she's in no hurry to "grow up" or any of that nonsense, thank you very much.
Thanks to her stubborn nature, Katherine doesn't have many good friends. She simply isn't willing to give people chance to get close to her, she's too eager to write them off. That doesn't mean to say she's unpopular, though. Her dad's money and the whole family's social status seems to have insured that most of the people in her classes at least pretend to like her- not that she gives a shit what they have to say anyway. Being an only child means she's pretty much used to being alone, and always having money has meant that Rin is used to having the things she wants.
To an extent, Rin can be quite immature. It's not that she isn't clever or responsible enough to act her age, she just finds it a lot more fun to be childish. Easily amused, with a short attention span and a mind in the gutter- that's the way she likes it. If you asked her what her favourite memory was, odds are you wouldn't get the whole story, but you'd at least get the general idea; playing "imagination" games in the park near her house when she was little. Being a kid is something Katherine wishes could last forever, so she's determined to make the most of what time she still has.

history Born and raised right here on Birmingham lane, Katherine King has always had the very best of everything. Her whole life, she's been used to getting more or less anything she wants almost exactly when she wants it. Her family may not be super-rich, but thanks to Simon King's successful law firm, they're easily among the best off in Rutherford. Simon first started the business as a partnership; "Carter and King Solicitors", alongside his best friend Lucas Carter almost twenty years ago, but in it's second year, the company found it's self in trouble. Simon King managed to keep the exact cause, and most of the details, out of the public eye, but there were still whispers. Something about a falling out with a client, and sabotage, then most shockingly of all, came the news of Lucas Carter's suicide.
Two years on, Simon was still working hard to keep the company afloat, now with the responsibility of his newborn daughter to look after. He managed to get things stable again eventually, and decided to change the name of the Firm to “Simon King Solicitors”. Simon made no attempt to help Lucas' wife and children get by, and the Carter family has never forgotten. Katherine grew up happy enough, albeit with a fair amount of prejudice for having a rich daddy, while Nathan, Vitani and Aiden all found themselves struggling to get what they needed.
Understandably, there has always been a lot of tension between Rin and the Carter kids, all three of them believing she has what they deserve while she insists it's not her problem, and over the years there have been a lot of...encounters. When Katherine and Aiden were both about seven or eight, they ran into each other at the local park. Neither of them realising who the other was, or that they should act any other way, the two started up a complicated and intricate "pretend" game that lasted them almost the whole afternoon. Until their respective parents showed up to separate them. Naturally, it was downhill from there. Fights between Rin and Vitani became a common occurrence by the time they reached middle school, and at one point the downright neurotic Nathan tried to set fire to Katherine's hair with a gleeful scream of "Roasty Toasty Princess".
As Katherine got older, Simon and Nora worked harder to try to ensure that their little girl would fit in well with polite society, encouraging her to make friends with the children of the Firm's clients and practically forcing her to attend a cotillion ball when she turned sixteen. Simon also roped Rin into helping out three times a week at the Firm as a way to give her a better business-mind, confident that she would some day agree to take on a full time job there and eventually take over of head of the company once he had retired. For Rin, though, work is the least of her worries. Right now, she's more concerned by the fact that holes are starting to show in her father's story about Lucas Carter's death. Simon always told her that his old partner had been warped, that he'd taken pleasure in other people's suffering and he'd killed himself because the guilt had finally caught up with him. But Katherine isn't so sure that things can really be so black and white..
