Appearance:

Fashionista is an understatement for Kate's wardrobe, but then again she knows the importance of a great flat and a pair of jeans. She even made the stuffy Spenser uniform look good when she wore it. Her height is deceiving as she's barely taller than Sarah, but don't expect that to mean anything about her. Chocolate brown eyes and long dark curls frame her face (with her fabulous cheek bones). Her olive skin is flawless, her nails always a near perfection. She is a Tunney regardless of her location.

Personality & Attitude:

Not widely known by others to be kind, caring or compassionate to those outside her core group, she's not a complete ice princess. Her friends are what they are for a reason. Though she does have her moments of craziness, honestly what woman doesn't? She strives for an even temper that she sees in a few around her, though it is a work in progress. Those that know her best get to see the multiple facets that make her up.

Even with being a daughter of privilege, she has not gone without knowing pain and disappointment in her life, but it has shaped her into the young woman that she has become. She is never one to shy away from being the center of attention or the life of the party, but there is a time and a place for everything... well almost.

Background & History:

Katherine Anna-Elise Tunney was born on a seasonally warm day in New York-Presbyterian Hospital, to Kimberly and James Tunney. The only child born to the family for many reasons, but none those were openly to discussion. She was born to a life of wealth and privilege, but that has to be expected when one is a Tunney. From the first bat of her eye lashes she was a daddy's girl and James knew that he was wrapped around the girl's little finger. Possibly something that her mother couldn't understand was the connection between the father and daughter. Regardless Kimberly was not the motherly type, or even wanted to be a wife. She was more than willing to leave the parenting to James or the nanny. By the time that Kate was eight years old, Kimberly had had her fill of the life that wasn't hers. She left Kate with the nanny stating that she had an errand to run. She left three envelopes on James' desk, one a note for James, the second divorce papers and the third a letter to Kate. She waved to her daughter as she played and walked away from all of it, never to return. James was heart broken, but filled the void in his heart with further spoiling his beloved daughter. The letter from her mother was locked in a safe until James felt she was ready to read it.

When Kate was old enough, she and James went to Ipswich to continue on the Tunney legacy at Spenser Academy. Kate knew she was at her home away from home here in Ipswich. She near instantly befriend the "Sons of Ipswich" but contrary to popular belief she did not instantly fall for one Pogue Parry. With all attempts, she tried not to fall for his charm and whit, but she fell and didn't look back, at least not right away. She seemed to be the rose among the thorns with not easily connecting with other girls, for which she blames her mother. Fortune smiled upon her when a new roommate her senior year at Spenser brought about a change. Sarah Wenham was the friend and near sister, that Kate had always been looking for. However, they are slight polar opposites on some thoughts, but Kate does adore the blonde.

Even with her split from Pogue and then the reunion (and engagement!) There are questions, always questions, but she is willing to take this life with all its craziness one-step at a time even if that means taking back burner to business, but that doesn't mean that she has to keep her complaints to herself. She willing to deal, but not change who she is for any man.

Sample RP:

Kate stood at the counter at Niemen Marcus, tapping the tip of a freshly manicured nail on the glass as the sales woman made her wait. Not even just a normal wait, as in a person in front of her, no it was the credit card in hand, as the woman was patched through from the credit card company to her father. No that wasn't mortifying to say the least. She grumbled through clenched teeth with a smile, she was an adult, but could her father see that? So what if she was spending his money, it was her allowance, hello? "Can I at least talk to him?" She quipped to the woman as the total of her intended purchase was shared with him. The woman's face paled as Kate could now clearly hear her father's deep voice from where she stood. She motioned for the phone with a smile, hopefully letting the sales woman off the hook for the moment.

"Daddy... yes... yes... I know that money doesn't grow on trees. Yes, I should balance my expenses better. In my defense there was a sale and you can't expect me to start my educational career at Harvard in rags, now can you?" She spoke calmly to the man over the phone with a near cheerful smile as if she were standing in his presence. "No... I had to wear that horrid uniform for the past four years. I can wear whatever I please... Noooo... Daddy... Fine! I deal, I put two things back and you unlock my card." She stomped her foot and nearly chuckled seeing the sales woman's face with her antics. This was all a well-rehearsed routine for Kate and for James. "All right, yes I promise to come visit you when I get a free weekend. I love you Daddy." She grinned as she passed the phone back over to the sales woman. She sorted through her items to take out two of the items as she had promised, as her credit card was unlocked. After a few minutes longer, a smiling Kate was walking out of the store, her bags and credit card in hand.
