Her mother normally using her normal Britiah accent, yet loosing control and dropping to thick American when worked up.

(May or may not change at some point in the roleplay....)
Crow.
Crows have long been the symbols of many things, both positive and negative. However traditionally the crow has been thought as a positive symbol of: Intelligence, having a higher perspective of things, fearlessness, audatiousness and adaptability.
On the negative side it is thought of as a symbol of: dark omen of death and dark witchcraft, mischeviousness, the trickster and manipulation.

Muggleborn
Quidditch -
Yeup! She is her house's Keeper.
Kate became the Keeper for Acqua's Quidditch Team in her third year, as the excuse of 'team *blank*' helped with things as a precaution. However it turned out that the teen actually had reasonable talent in the flying department. She's held the spot of Keeper through her own marits since her first few matches.

History -
Kathryn is a girl of british-american background who was born to a pair of rather well-to-do muggles as their only child. As such the little girl being quite spoiled and doted on, healthy but still doted on. Her mother is a nurse who works on a maternity ward of a large hospital. While her father is a former american naval veteran who retiered a few years ago to become a form of manager at a large company. Though both her parents are muggles and knew nothing of magic until the letter arrived on their doorstep, Kathryn's mother always knew there was something special about her daughter. Her father likewise joked that, in the girl's case, being the black sheep of the family was a term of endearment. He relentlessly brings up the first time the brunette used magic involuntarily. Apparently there is a very good reason the family no longer keeps animals in the house.. Needless to say both adults had no problems with agreeing to send their little girl to learn magic, as long as she wrote to them everyday about what she had done. This got on the girl's nerves but she agreed just so she could attend the magic school. She is both excited and nervous to be the very first witch in her family. However that happiness was not to last, for a dark cloud loomed over the family and sent the life of the McKnights into chaos.
See during Kate's third year when she was thirteen years old, she ended up being bitten by a werewolf. Exactly what happened is unknown, even to her teachers who are all well aware of her canine condition. She refuses to say anything more then she did what had to be done for her parent's sakes and would gladly do it again. However the attack left lasting scars both emotionally and physically on Kate, who has been transforming every full moon for the past two years. She wasn't going to re turn to school after the attack, but the Headmisstress assured both her and her parents there was no real reason why Kate could not return to Vecchio Montagna as a student. As long as certain precautionary meassures were taken of course.
