When in control of herself, Kate was a benevolent individual with a fun-loving, party-going attitude and a quick wit | When in control of herself, Kate was a benevolent individual with a fun-loving, party-going attitude and a quick wit. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Symbiote Surprise (comic story)|Symbiote Surprise]]'') However, she evidenced a lack of deeper understanding of her friends. According to [[Ghede Nibo|the Symbiote]], even before it came along, her “good girl” persona was an act she put on, and she also concealed darker desires and impulses within her mind. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1]]'') She was “extremely eager to please”, betraying her need to be validated not only by her peers but by anyone she saw, subconsciously, as a parental figure. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') | ||
She liked to think of herself as a “girly girl” despite some evidence to the contrary. One account listed her likes as “shopping, reality television, tea, walks on the beach, romance novels”, [[Rachel McAdams]], [[Ryan Gosling]], [[Tom Hiddleston]] and [[Benedict Cumberbatch]]”, and her dislikes as coffee, the movie ''[[The Notebook]]'', “loud and obnoxious people”, and shaving her legs. | She liked to think of herself as a “girly girl” despite some evidence to the contrary.

She was deeply loyal to her friends, and terrified of losing control and hurting them, as would eventually occur; as a child, she tended to use her physical strength to stick up for other victims of bullying. In her natural state, she was “mild-mannered”, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') though her behaviour would become much more uninhibited under the Symbiote's influence. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Symbiote Surprise (comic story)|Symbiote Surprise]]'', etc.) | She was deeply loyal to her friends, and terrified of losing control and hurting them, as would eventually occur; as a child, she tended to use her physical strength to stick up for other victims of bullying. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') For all her intelligence and book-smarts, she was somewhat naïve, and could be manipulated easily by a strong personality. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') In her natural state, she was “mild-mannered”, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') though her behaviour would become much more uninhibited under the Symbiote's influence. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Symbiote Surprise (comic story)|Symbiote Surprise]]'', etc.) She liked to think of herself as a world-wide, realistic pessimist, but this was largely an act and she actually preferred to see the good in all situations, tending t be bitterly disappointed when things didn't pan out. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') | ||
Prior to her possession by Ghede, she insisted on telling herself that she was straight, despite experimenting with lesbian sexuality with at least one college friends and experiencing attraction to her [[Section P]] teammates [[Nexus Girl]] and [[Battle Angel]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') Upon first being possessed, Ghede unleashed her buried desires for the latter, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1]]'') and when she regained her freedom, she remained comfortable expressing romantic and sexual attraction for [[Centennia]].

After bonding with the Symbiote, Kate's superhuman strength and resilience allowed her to go toe-to-toe with [[Centennia]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Symbiote Surprise (comic story)|Symbiote Surprise]]'') and the fangs and claws she could grow were sufficient to maul even an experienced superhero to death if caught by surprise. However, she could still be hurt by sufficiently strong, skillful blows. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1]]'') She could block magical blasts, but was not immune to other, more subtle forms of magical combat. Additionally, the Symbiote was weak to electricity.

In addition to all this, Kate was naturally quite intelligent, having joined [[MENSA]] at the age of 12. Her strongest subjects at school were Chemistry, Mathematics and English Literature. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') | |||

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2]]'')]]Katherine Jones, named for her paternal grandmother [[Katherine Evans]], was born on April 1st, 1992 at the [[Prince of Wales Hospital]] in [[Cardiff]], alongside a twin sister called [[Emerald Valkyrie|Kimberly]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') She grew up as a normal, if unusually athletic girl in a lower-class milieu. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') Although by no means abusive, the Jones parents were fairly emotionally distant from their daughters, with Kate and Kim mostly relying on each other for emotional support, making them extremely close to one another. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') | ||
In school, she had trouble fitting in with either the “smart girls” or the “sports girls”, due to excelling both academically and athletically, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') and also being self-conscious and being taller, and having experienced an earlier puberty, than other girls in her age range. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') However, she used her strength to protect other bullying victims, an early show of moral character. After finishing high school, she went to university, unlike most of the other girls in her school, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') starting at the age of 18. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') | |||
=== At Cardiff University === | |||
While she went to [[Cardiff University]] to study chemistry, [[Emerald Valkyrie|Kimberly]] moved to [[Washington D.C.]] to study “Advanced Robotics & Cybernetics”. Kate didn't take the separation well, especially as Kimberly did a bad job of staying in touch. However, she otherwise enjoyed her three years spent at university, continuing to excel academically and successfully forging connections with her fellow university students. She had two boyfriends, though they were mere flings with no deep romantic connections. | |||
She also attended many raucous all-girl slumber parties where the girls would get drunk and play play “truth or dare” with various adult dares. Being very reluctant to admit truth to herself, she would always choose dare, which would often mean “kissing one of the other girls, licking whipped cream from their bodies, taking a selfie with a sharpie pen in her rear and bluetoothing it to a random number”, and other such sexual tomfoolery. On one occasion, she ended up actually “performing cunnilingus to completion” on her best friend, unreciprocated, and possibly of her own accord rather than as a dare. As she left university, however, she consigned these experimentations to embarrassing mishaps and continued to think of herself as straight, despite the mounting evidence to the contrary. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') | |||
=== Becoming Kate Five === | |||
She was noticed by [[Project Five]], a top-secret government project to pick up unusually talented students and give them superpowers. They imbued her with superstrength and durability, and gave her gloves inset with [[power crystal]]s through which to channel her strength more effectively. It was then that the new and improved Katherine began to go by the code-name of “Kate Five” in reference to the Project. Although she assumed the Project had given similar gifts to four others, she never actually encountered them during her time at Project Five. | |||
After Project Five went under due to funding cuts, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') she was recruited as a superhero within [[Section P]], the [[British Ministry of Defence]]'s superhero outfit | After Project Five went under due to funding cuts, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') she was recruited as a superhero within [[Section P]], the [[British Ministry of Defence]]'s superhero outfit, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') and assigned to the primary South Wales branch. There, she quickly developed friendships with her fellow female teammembers [[Nexus Girl]] and [[Battle Angel]] (alias Taki). The three formed a [[Sunday Night Roleplay Club]] in which they played ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', among other games. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Extended Bio (short story)|Kate Five Extended Bio]]'') | ||
She even developed a crush on Taki, to which she never dared to give voice. She also failed to ask Taki about her past, something she would later regret. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1]]'') Taki herself had trouble socialising with the rest of the team, with her friendship with Kate being her closest relationship to any of them all the same.
