Overall Personality -
Katra has a compulsion to steal, it's more like she needs to steal rather than wanting to. Not that she doesn't enjoy the thrill of it. She's rather impulsive, blunt, and a drinker. This has gotten her into trouble in the past, but that hasn't stopped her yet.
Though she's a thief she is careful about who she steals from, she wouldn't steal from a fellow crew member or friend unless it was all in good fun. She knows better than to steal from a person she'll be stuck on a boat with.
She's a kindhearted soul, enjoys making friends and keeping them so long as they don't betray her in some way. Plus friends are also a good source of information, something Kat is good at getting. Though most of it honestly comes from a local bar and a few drinks shared.
She does have a tendency to be a smart ass at times, especially when someone asks her a stupid question. At least it's stupid in her opinion.

Your History -
Katra was born somewhere on Persephone, to a woman who didn't give a damn. Leaving her baby in a hotel in the nice side of town, perhaps hoping some kind soul would take her in. Boy was she wrong. Kat ended up in the foster care system, it was easy when she was a baby. Too young to know any different. As she got older the homes got worse and worse.
At the age of 13 she fled, striking out on her own. She tried to make her way by thievery, which took quite alot of trial and error for her to get better at it. The thrill Kat got out of it was enough to keep her trying though, the desire to get better. Over the next year she moved city to city, stealing as she went. Never staying in the same place for long, until she ended up in the city of Teporatz. By now Kat was a good thief, not the best, but she had many more successes than failures now.
A few weeks went by, getting to know the new city, making small takes here and there as needed. One night Katra came across a mechanic shop not far from the docks, it was a quiet night. She decided to give this place a try, surely there would be a nice take here, fixing and working on ships wasn't a cheap business. So far so good, things were going well as she made her way into the building and through the shop. Not much more time passed before things took a turn and not a good one. Katra found herself face to face with the barrel of a shotgun and an old angry man looking straight at her.
Obviously she didn't get shot, but the night was rather loud, threats of violence and calling the feds. The situation calmed down very slowly, but in the end the old man didn't call the feds, nor did he strike at Kat. His name was Lance Railey, he'd owned and ran the mechanic shop for 17 years. Despite the odds, Lance decided to take in Katra, making her work for what she was attempting to do. From him she learned not only the craft of ship mechanics but also about an honest work. Of course it was a change for Kat, it was hard at first but over the years she settled in. Though her new life was less stressful she still felt the thrill of thievery call to her, but she was much more careful about out of fear for losing what she now had.
Recently Katra has been wanting to venture farther than Persephone, she'd been here all her life. Not to mention spending the last 11 years in one place has left her feeling restless. She is a good mechanic now, at least she'd be useful to a ship.

Roleplay Example -
Kat was under the engine of a firefly, an old one at that. It was one from the original line, first edition if you will. The new owner wanted to have it restored and outfitted with new tech. Lance's place was the shop to come to, despite it's placement near the docks it was one of the best mechanic shops on Persephone. Perhaps even the 'verse, in Katra's opinion it was, especially since she worked there. She'd been there for the last eleven years, learning the workings of engines and ships; thanks to Lance for not shooting her when she had tried to steal from him. It wasn't your usual first meeting or best first impressions, but he apparently had some sort of feeling about her; that she was actually a good kid or something. She wasn't sure, she was just glad to still be breathing. It was nice, breathing and all.
"Hey Kat, you gonna put this regulator back or what?" Marco called out to her after he came in and started rummaging through what she was doing. "Nah Marc, I think i'll just chunk it and watch the sparks fly.' Katra rolled her eyes as she turned the wrench, 'Of course I'm going to put it back smart guy, once I get the cap greased up and make sure it ain't gonna blow on me." Kat heard him leave the room with a soft laugh, the guys liked to give her a hard time; if only to see her riled up. A few moments later a small alarm went off, signalling it was lunch time. The engine would have to wait, her hunger took precedence for the next hour. Stopping by the fridge on the way out of the shop she had grabbed her bag, in it contained two sandwiches and a few extra goodies. One of the sandwiches was meant for Roxy as usual.
