Kathryn's early years were ones of fun and happy times. Not having any relatives nearby, and not trusting the local youth, Jaser and Alanna were forced to take Kathryn to their place of work, and put her in a play pen in the office. Kathryn was an instant hit with all the other guards, everyone loved her.
Kathryn started primary schooling at the Kookaburra Creek Primary School when she was five. It was not unusual for her to spend a lot of time sitting out on the school oval alone, as she was often bullied. She often got picked up by her parent's friend, Jimmy Baxter, who was sort of like a big brother to Kathryn. After listening to Kathryn tell him of how she was teased at school, Jimmy decided to teach her a few self defense skills, and this soon became a regular activity that they did together.
