“Here’s your one chance Fancy, don’t let me down.” 

Welcome to New York [KATERINA ‘KATE’ CROWN]. We hope you are finding everything okay because we know that this city can be difficult to explore. We heard that you are a/an [26] year old who is a/an [GHOST HUNTER / PODCASTER] and identifies as [SHE/HER], is that true? If so it totally makes sense since people would associate [NERDY REFERENCES SLIPPED INTO CONVERSATIONS, BLOWING CURLY HAIR OUT HER EYES WHEN IT SLIPS PUT OF HER MESSY BUN, and THE ANTICIPATION STORM CLOUDS ON THE HORIZON BRINGS] with you. You’ve been here since [JUNE 2017] and nobody has told you that you look exactly like [PAULINA SINGER]?!

- CAN WE SKIP TO THE GOOD PART

New Orleans, birth place of amazing music, food, Mardi Gras...Katerina Crown. Much like her hometown, she grew up just as infused with the magic and mystery around her. She learned to play the trumpet and guitar by the time she was 11, knew most of the haunted hot spots, and could cook a mean jambalaya by the time she hit 15.  

Her parents thought she might go for a degree in philosophy with how many times she read Aristotle’s works, or maybe she’d become a mechanic with much time she spent hanging out in her dad’s auto shop after school. She had a mind for whatever she put it too, an intellect to pick up whatever was put in front of her. So what she did next shocked everyone.

When her family hit hard times; the family bar suffered an electrical fire with innumerable damage, her dad’s shop let him go, and her grandfather’s medical bills started to add up...Kate started to put her dancing skills to use. She became an exotic dancer in college, making more money than she possibly could imagine. She helped pay for her family bills whilst her parents looked for work and fixed the bar back up, all the while Kate studied her arse off at uni.

A relationship that started between her and, what she thought was a decent regular at the bar, turned sour and in the middle of her 4 years of college Kate found herself needing an escape. She transferred schools after breaking up with her ex before he could get anymore violent, and headed out to NYC. She picked up a job as a bartender at nights and a waitress on the weekends this time round, and sent as much money as she could back home to help her family. 

At one point, the idea for a ghost hunting podcast came to her. Whether she was inebriated or sober is anyone’s guess, but it was a crazy idea that she ran with, recruiting a friend of hers to join her on the escapade. What started as something small and a hobby quickly grew into a popular podcast and youtube channel (think buzzfeed unsolved / ghost files) that Kate’s incredible for. She occasionally picks a bartending shift every now and then for extra cash, but soon enough she found that the podcast and channel raked in enough money where she didn’t have to work two other jobs. 

Personality wise, she’s whiskey in a shot glass, or a freshly baked pie. A refreshing breath of air if you will, plucky and quirky, her own person who thrives on breaking standards and carving her own path. She loves country & 80′s music, fixing old muscle cars and playing video games. She tends to be observant, where she’ll analyze a situation before jumping feet first...but isn’t afraid to dive into something either. She’ll happily pick the lock to your ex’s place if you want to get your stuff when they’re not there, or will bake you cookies and give you her favorite sweatshirt to comfort you. 10/10 will roll up in heelies & heart shaped sunglasses, sipping a margarita saying sup while ‘animal’ by def leopard plays in the distance vibes

American Pie by Don McLean except you’re sitting out on the rocking chair on the back porch of your family’s farmhouse, and you can hear your brother and his friends having a bit of a get-together in the barn and blasting it from their stereo. You’d join in, but you don’t know them well enough. You’re just fine out here, anyway.
