That green-eyed girl...

[bossyboiler]

.
Briefly: Kate’s family is amongst the haves. She’s a rich bitch with a work ethic.

She is the youngest (and a surprise) of three children in a family who, while not being members of the one-percentage club, come awfully close. They have their fingers in many, many pies. It’s cliché but both of her parents worked, her mother a doctor and her father who ran several charitable organizations. She could have been given into the care of a nanny of three but instead it was her grandparents who mostly raised her. They had wanted a girl to spoil.

Her grandmother raised her to not have idle hands. She was taught how to bake, sew, and a host of other traditional activities. But spare time is idle time, and Kate had extracurriculars like ballet and soccer (though never good at the latter so she didn't stick to it). It’s how she became a hard worker but something of a workaholic later in life. She wasn’t given much time to just relax so as an adult she has to plan relaxation time.

She thought she might go into civil service. She thought she could be helpful but her family did not allow that of her. Being a civil servant was too lowly. They wanted more for her. She rebelled slightly and went into culinary school. (Rebelled as much as she is capable of, however.) Her parents went along with it thinking it would bolster her business acumen and then go into the family business. (Once again, she is the baby of the family and spoiled in a way that her brothers were not.)

Cullinary school proved to be a humbling experience. All of a sudden she wasn't the best. All of a sudden she had to work really hard to see results. It also broadened her worldview a bit. Most of the students didn't come from wealthy families. Her status didn't earn her many new friends. However, she persevered. She graduated.

She loves to bake. She was a business major. If she couldn’t help people out in one way she would help people to satisfy their sweet tooth. She opened a little bakery in Brooklyn called the CupKate's.

At first people thought it was a vanity project due to her wealth and being able to cut through so much red tape in order to get permits and licensing. But Kate worked really hard to prove them wrong. She took on all orders, big and small. It still bothers her, three years later, when it's referred to as a vanity project. She doesn't like that. It stings.

Kate truly enjoys running her bakery for both prideful and vain reasons. She likes it when people like what she has produced and looks of delight that show on people's faces. She likes it when people admire her effort and time. Nothing pleases her more than a well-earned compliment.

Interests: Astronomy. Costuming. Fashion. Vintage clothing. Baking. Ballet. Skeeball. Chick-Lit. Retro arcade games. Kick-boxing. Bōjutsu. Yoga. Trying new things. Sewing. History (specifically clothing history).

Appearance: Kate stands at a height of five foot and eight inches. Her build is slim. She has brunette hair that she wears in long layers down to her shoulders. Currently, she has bangs. They fall just below her eyebrows. She does not have naturally long lashes. However, her eyes are very green.

She doesn't slouch when she's walking or sitting. A person could tell that Kate takes pride in her appearance. There is nothing sloppy about it (not even her casual or clean-the-house clothes). She likes to get dressed and style her hair.

As far as traits and ticks go, she is a bit persnickety. She likes things just so. Kate typically gives people her full attention. When she is nervous and or lying, her head will either tilt to the side or she will touch the base of her throat with her fingertips. If she doesn't know how to respond, she looks away. When she's annoyed her lips form a thin line.

While at the CupKate's, Kate has a uniform that consists of tailored navy or dark gray slacks with a button-up blouse that she had personally made that features some kind of baking motif.

Personality: Upon first meeting, most people think of Kate as just nice. Not good. Not bad. She's just nice.

She was raised in a household that believed in manners and keeping hands idle busy. One should hold open the door for the person following them in. One should be polite and offer to help. It does not harm anyone in making an effort not to be rude.

Kate can be on the vain side and takes tremendous pride in her work. She's also more stubborn than a toddler at bedtime.

CupKate's: Kate's bakery is her pride and joy. It is located in Brooklyn where she also currently lives.
