hi kat’s autistic thanks for comin’ to my ted talk.

daughter of two highly regarded federation politicians.  youngest of three,  following john,  and andrea.

sister of john,  an author and co-owner of his wife’s restaurant in san francisco.  

sister of andrea,  who was a member of starfleet’s security corp aboard the uss persephone before her death in late 2237.

sister-in-law of paxton grant,  a teacher on one earth’s lunar colonies.

sister-in-law of amy cornwell,  owner of a popular restaurant in san francisco.

aunt of ethan,  thomas,  & abigail grant.

aunt of sarah & anthony cornwell.

classically trained in ballet and basic ballroom due to her aunt’s profession as a dance instructor on earth.  maggie claims she saw a natural talent and began teaching kat at a young age (roughly 5 years old).

her father died in 2209 (when kat was almost 10) in a rare instance of political assassination during a visit to a newly established border colony where the a small but vocal group of inhabitants weren’t entirely thrilled with the idea of being part of the federation.

shares a love of classic (printed) literature,  shared with her sister,  they each have fairly impressive inherited collections of printed novels of varying genres from their late father,  and volumes they both managed to collect throughout their lives.  kat also inherited andrea’s collection following her death.

moved to live with her aunt in her home in iowa in 2209,  due to her mother shifting all of her focus to her work as an ambassador,  which took her all over federation space.  something she opted to do alone,  rather than face her children after the death of their father (which eventually lead to kat’s career as a psychiatrist & counselor bc she wanted to learn more about how to help people handle their grief and post traumatic stress more healthily,  and a lifetime of commitment and poorly-dealt with abandonment issues bc she’s smart as heck but also a Disaster).

participated in several dance competitions and recitals through her teenage years,  boasts a small collection of trophies which are displayed with her old badges,  commendations,  and medals awarded during her time in starfleet,  generally in her quarters on the washington,  but they’re objects she takes with her whenever she expects to be away for a while,  as they’re cherished mementos.

didn’t dance nearly as much following her acceptance to the academy due to a rigorous dedication to her studies,  though she was known to perform now and then when her course load was lighter.

graduated starfleet academy in 2220 (age 21),  and completed medical training in 2224  (age 25) bc she’s Ambitious As Heck and did most of her training in psychology in addition to command training during her time at starfleet academy before moving on and doing her medical training post-grad at starfleet medical academy.

took,  re-took,  and failed the kobayashi maru three times.

once broke three ribs in a training exercise at the academy and didn’t tell anyone because she had two exams the next day and needed to study.

she only ever pilots a vessel if she has to bc she’s not great at it and it’s an Issue.

she keeps every scar she’s ever gotten,  due to nostalgia and,  as she puts it,  ‘they’re all lessons, so it’d be foolish to pretend they’d never existed,’.  scars are as follows:  a Lot on her feet and legs due to 15 years spent primarily dancing.  her feet are definitely Not Pretty to look at but she likes having something to show for so many years of work.  a few on her scalp & hairline   (  near her right ear   )   from an incident during her time on the griffin.  a rly nice scar from a plasma burn on her left shoulder.  a pretty gnarly scar on the back of her neck from the prison ship,  as well as some on her torso from ~general torture.

she has the names of everyone she’s loved and lost tattooed on her ribs right below her heart.  this memorialization began at 19 on the tenth anniversary of her dad’s death,  and it’s one she strictly maintains.

switched fully to the command track soon after achieving the rank of lieutenant commander,  in early 2238.  inspired by what she believed to be a preventable accident aboard her sister’s ship,  ultimately ending in her death,  and kat’s desire to hopefully assist in the task of putting better safety protocols in place to protect officers.  assigned as first officer of the uss griffin (late 2238,  aged 39).

received her own captaincy within 5 years,  in another instance of irony,  was assigned to the uss persephone,  the same ship her sister died on  (though there are rumors she pulled strings in order to obtain the posting,  which she’ll neither confirm nor deny).  —  late 2244,  aged 44.  served as captain of the persephone for nearly 6 years,  until early 2250.

promoted to commodore in 2250,  at 50 years old.  rear admiral in 2252,  at 53.  vice admiral in 2255,  at 56,  where she was given command of the uss washington with her position as a flag officer.

alternates between living in san francisco or paris while on earth;  depending on where she’s needed most.  she has an apartment in each city,  though typically defaults to san francisco,  which is where most of her most prized possessions are kept (though she keeps a modest collection of trinkets,  books,  and decor in her quarters aboard the washington).

following her time as a prisoner of war,  kat has lingering nerve damage due to returning to work too quickly and pushing herself too hard.  effects range from treatable migraines to weakness and pain in her back,  legs,  and arms,  sometimes so severe it prevents mobility.

VERSES!

STARFLEET ACADEMY  —

a verse following kat’s time at starfleet academy & starfleet medical academy   (  2217 - 2224  ).

DOCTOR CORNWELL  —

a verse following kat’s time as a practicing psychiatrist,  mostly aboard the uss aldrin   (   2224 - 2227   )   and starfleet medical on earth   (  2227 - 2238   ).

CANON COMPLIANT  —

a verse following the events of discovery’s canon.

POST SEASON TWO CANON DIVERGENT  —

listen she managed to disarm the torpedo like the goddamn hero she is,  and everyone lived happily ever after,  the end.  played a major part in concocting the cover story re: discovery’s disappearance & the decision to destroy all evidence that the ship had ever existed in the first place,  including helping her crew concoct cover stories as to where they’d all actually been serving during the war and after.  continues to serve as commanding officer of the u.s.s. washington which totally exists u can’t take this away from me.

MIRROR UNIVERSE  —

so far all i’ve got is that she has one singular eye,  a badass eyepatch,  and enjoys pointy things and stabby-stabbing.

KELVIN TIMELINE  —

tbd.

GREY’S ANATOMY  —

joining the army after medical school had seemed a natural step.  both parents had served,  so why shouldn’t she?  it was rare she saw any action,  instead helping soldiers to deal with the traumas they continued to endure  —  she was more of a behind the scenes player,  but it suited her well,  and she was proud of her work.  

an acquaintance of owen hunt and teddy altman,  and following an honorable discharge due to injury,  it was simple to obtain a job at grey-sloan memorial hospital in seattle as a staff psychiatrist   (  and she’s always liked the rain   ).   sometimes it seems a more chaotic work environment than even a war zone,  but katrina continues to love her work,  and helping others through their problems often makes it seem easier to deal with her own.

MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE  —

like most spies,  she was recruited out of the military.  joining s.h.i.e.l.d. was hardly the plan she had for her life,  but it seemed to fit.  she liked it.  the training was hard,  and lying for a living felt somewhat out of place with her training in the medical field.  but it fit.  for a long time,  she worked solely as a psychiatrist,  before electing to take more time as a field agent.  she excelled,  and began to move up in the organization.  it didn’t take long before kat found herself a high ranking member of the operations division,  reporting directly to maria hill.

the fall of s.h.i.e.l.d. was devastating  —  something she never saw coming.  the next months were filled with chaos.  interviews,  questionings,  but before long,  kat found herself moving on.  as suggested by her former superior,  maria,  she elected to apply at stark industries.  for a while,  she worked in human resources  —  she enjoyed it,  working for a company headed by a powerful woman.  but it wasn’t satisfying,  after time spent as a spy,  upon further discussion with maria,  katrina elected to begin working underground with maria,  and with former director nick fury.     (   probably gonna be reworked due to general development   ).

tagged by @lyannanicks thank u friend xoxox

rules: answer all questions, add one question of your own and tag as many people as there are questions

Coke or Pepsi: I don’t really drink either (I’m more of a sprite gal) but pepsi is obviously better Disney or Dreamworks: disney Coffee or tea: coffee 4 life Books or movies: books Windows or mac: mac DC or marvel: neither? Xbox or PlayStation: playstation  Dragon age or mass effect: I know nothing about either of these Night owl or early riser: early riser for sure I can’t stay up past 10 Cards or chess: cards! Chocolate or vanilla: chocolate Vans or converse: this is so hard!!!!! cause like converse are just classic. but I also love vans. both.  Lavellan, Trevelyan, Cadash, or Adaar: I’m ???? Beach or forest: BEACH!!! I wish I was at the beach right now Dogs or cats: I love both so fucking much but if I absolutely have to choose, it’s cats Clear skies or rain: clear skies Cooking or eating out: eating out Spicy food or mild food: mild Halloween/Samhain or Solstice/Yule/Christmas: christmas Would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot: I’d rather forever be at a nice moderate 65 degree temperature with a slight breeze is that an option If you could have a superpower, what would it be: flight Animation or live action: I love both!!!! I think animation is really incredible though. especially stop motion. Paragon or renegade: I think this is a video game question and I’m confused Baths or showers: on a regular basis, showers. but there are few things I like more than a hot bath honestly.  Team cap or team ironman: I almost killed myself during captain america because it was so boring so I guess iron man Fantasy or sci-fi: neither really Do you have three or four favourite quotes, if so what are they: I have a million favorite quotes and I can’t definitively choose favorites, but here are a couple I really love: 

“people act according to the way they experience the world. if you can understand their experience, you can understand their behavior” -r.d. laing, 

“these are the days that must happen to you” - walt whitman

”I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. the main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning. if you knew when you began a book what you would say at the end, do you think that you would have the courage to write it? what is true for writing and for a love relationship is true also for life. the game is worthwhile insofar as we don’t know what will be the end” -foucault

“I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people” - van gogh

Youtube or Netflix: netflix Harry Potter or Percy Jackson: harry potter When do you feel accomplished: when I make it to the end of a day and I can just sit back and feel content with who I am and where I am  Star Wars or Star Trek: star wars I guess  Paperback books or hardback books: paperback Horror or rom-com? rom coms 4 life To live in a world without literature or music: both of these would be absolutely horrible I can’t even think about it Pastel colors or dark colors: pastel Tv shows or movies: tv for sure. I watch like 2 movies per year City or countryside: city If any other zodiac sign could describe you, what would it be: cancer I think. I’m a sagittarius sun/cancer moon and have a lot of cancer traits. like cancers are super moody and emotional and ruled by the moon and also really empathetic, intuitive, and generous, which are all ways I tend to think of myself to varying degrees. if you look up the sag/cancer combo it’s literally me to a tee. like ??? http://universal-tao-eproducts.com/mp/files/sun-moon_sagittarius-cancer.pdf ME If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life what would it be? ahhhhhhh no this is too hard. fleetwood mac’s self titled album maybe? or bella donna by stevie nicks.  Cinema or theatre? theatre If you could be any fictional character’s best friend, who’d you be?  holly flax because I love her. Smiling or smirking? smiling? weird question. Playlists or your whole library on shuffle? generally I put my whole library on shuffle but I have some playlists like, by mood. which mostly means I like to group all my really sad music in one place so I can conveniently torture myself when I feel like it Traveling or staying at home: traveling! Would you rather listen to only one artist for the rest of your life or read only one book for the rest of your life? ugh I guess only listen to one artist. favorite flower: sunflowers! but also tulips and hydrangeas

I am absolutely not tagging as many people as there are questions but @maggysawyer @ophelia-stood-tall @verafarmiga @evolhasmorepower @cateblnchettes @cobie-smulders @kopiva @liaratsoniii @michellepfeiffer @natalie-wood @benfeldman and anyone else who feels like doing this consider yourself tagged
