Kathrin spent the first few years of her life at her aunt [[Grace Summerdale|Grace]] house where she lived with her parents. Kathrin loved to play in the estate's big, magical garden. When she was 5 years old, she was abducted by a group of criminals who tried to blackmail her father, a [[Mundane]] who worked as liaison between the British government and the [[Society of Magic]], into revealing governmental secrets. However, Reginald's clearance was far from high enough to even hope to obtain such secrets.

When she was 5 years old, she was abducted by a group of criminals who tried to blackmail her father, a Magi who worked as liaison between the British government and the [[Society of Magic]], into revealing governmental secrets. However, Reginald's clearance was far from high enough to even hope to obtain such secrets.


The criminals were eventually caught and Kathrin was returned to her parents, hardly realizing what had actually happened. Scared of further attempts, her parents decided to leave the magic society behind and live among Mundanes instead. Being a [[Dormant]] with no magical powers of her own, Kathrin's mother was able to fit in easily. She forbade all contact with [[Grace Summerdale|Grace]] or any other family member and kept her daughter well sheltered. When her father was promoted and transferred to another department, his new job caused him to only be home on weekends and thus unable to counter his wife's anxiety.
