Kathryn Willow, The Faded Sister

Kathryn Willow was born into chaos, the middle daughter of three sisters whose single moonlit night of bloodlust thirty years ago became the catalyst for an uneasy truce between the supernatural underworld and those who hunted it. While her elder sister Samantha clawed her way into the corridors of power and influence, becoming untouchable through connections and wealth, and her younger sister Tara surrendered entirely to the beast within, Kathryn chose the harder path of invisibility and survival. Hunted relentlessly by authorities convinced of her guilt and by fanatic hunters determined to erase her existence, she learned to become a ghost in the margins of society, trading her name for anonymity and her former identity for the role of muscle in the criminal underworld where she could disappear among the forgotten. The vampires eventually stopped seeing her as a threat worth pursuing, and the hunters that she didn't kill have moved on to fresher prey, their missing persons reports filed away in cold case folders while their confiscated weapons found new owners in black markets and gang arsenals. She exists now in the spaces between worlds—neither fully human nor entirely beast, neither hunter nor hunted—sustaining herself through violence that leaves no trace and silence that draws no attention. Though she remembers her sisters with a longing that surfaces only in the deepest hours of night, Kathryn understands that the women they once were have been consumed by their choices, leaving her alone in a game where the only rule is that the dead don't ask questions.
