Background:
Kate was adopted from an orphanage in Veliky Novgorod when she was around 3 years old. The Pearces had briefly lived in the city for Bill’s work. Since they really wanted a daughter but had only had boys, they decided to go ahead and adopt before they moved back to England. As long as she remembers, her family has lived just outside of Reading. She grew up wishing she had a dog, playing football and rugby with her brothers and neighborhood friends, and building things with Legos and K’nex with her oldest brother Kevin. She was excited (though surprised) to come to Hogwarts when she found out that she was a witch, but disappointed that none of her brothers would get to come.

Things and activities Kate likes:
Reading (biographies, history, space books, science books, science fiction), sports (especially rugby and football), planes and trains, chocolate covered fruits, jump roping, fun accessories (like scrunchies, hairbows, fun socks)
Things and activities Kate doesn’t like:
Other people crying, feet, having to sit and listen for long periods of time, popsicles, cats because she’s allergic, the cold/being cold, her full name
