Kathrin spent the first few years of her life at her aunt [[Grace's|Grace Summerdale]] 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.

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|Grace Summerdale]] 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.

In addition, her school was unable to properly support Kathrin's needs for active studying, resulting in her grades being less than average.

As is typical for her family, Kathrin's powers awakened later than usual, around her 16th birthday. As a result of exam nerves, she unknowingly transmuted the entire content of a school bus' diesel tank into water. This got the attention of the [[Magistry]] who enrolled her at the [[Greannmhar]] School of Magick. On the way to the school she met [[Lycia Wintergale]] and became friends with her.

A few weeks into her first school year, Kathrin reconnected with her aunt [[Grace|Grace Summerdale]] and met with her in [[Glenmoor]]. On the way back she drank from a water bottle which Lycia had given her. Unbeknownst to both of them, someone had added essence of mandragora into the bottle. This induced a state of confusion in Kathrin who wandered aimlessly into the forest and got severely lost.

This is where she met a female [[Blue Moon Owl]] who chose to become her [[familius]]. Having always loved barn owls and snow owls, the presence of the animal calmed Kathrin. With the help and guidance of her new friend, whom she named Rea, Kathrin eventually encountered Storm and was led to a group of teachers who were searching for her.
