BIOGRAPHY:

Jackson Mississippi. Home to some of the best Christain schools in the country, and where Mary Katherine Wilde was born and raised. Parents Agnes and Matthew Wilde were high school sweethearts. The power couple of Lanier high, really. Captain of the football team and the head cheerleader – popular, beloved, God-fearing Christians – the picture of adolescent perfection… in Jackson Mississippi, anyway. It was a surprise to no one when the pair announced their engagement at their high school graduation party, and by the summer of their freshman year in college - they were married.

The two always wanted a big family, and so while some might have waited at least until they’d graduated from college and found stable jobs to start a family, the newly married couple got to baby making straight away. Only, much to their confusion, they had no success. After a few years of trying and no baby Wildes to show for it, they sought answers from a professional. It came as a shock, to be honest - infertile. It sounded like a punishment. But while the doctor insisted there were other options if they were serious about parenting, the Wildes were firm in their belief that if it was in God’s plan, they’d have a child. And sure enough, after months of praying and faith, Agnes found herself pregnant with Kitty. Their miracle child. The only one they needed.

And being the miracle child had its perks. Kitty was spoiled, growing up – her parents allowing her to involve herself in whatever extracurriculars she liked. And what she liked (read: LOVED) was to perform. It started with dance preschool dance classes (ballet to start, then contemporary, jazz, and acro), then drama camps and a permanent spot in the nativity play each Christmas. In fact, one of her greatest points of pride was securing the role of Virgin Mary through high school and into college.

Through high school, she followed in her parents’ footsteps. Joining the cheerleading squad, making herself a prominent member of the church’s youth group, maintaining good grades and of course, finding herself the perfect boyfriend – Jebediah Andrews. Only, unlike her parents, Kitty wanted more than that for herself. Wanted to be more than a wife and a mother. And more than anything, she wanted to be an actress. But that didn’t really fit the plan, did it? And being the only child, she had all of her parent’s expectations resting on her shoulders. So she suppressed that desire. Convincing herself that life would be enough. Jeb was good to her. And really, they’d been voted most likely to get married by the graduating class – what could go wrong?

So she stayed in line. She went to a parent-approved college – Belhaven, where she studied Musical Theater. The decision hadn’t gone over well, why waste your time getting a Theatre degree when your life was already mapped out? But she’d convinced her parents it would be fine. The economy wasn’t what it was when they’d been her age. She’d teach high school drama until she took her rightful place on the baby making assembly line.

As planned, she married Jeb the summer after college graduation. And she’d hoped – prayed even – she’d feel differently once he put that ring on it. But nothing changed. Try as she might to make it work, she wasn’t happy. And when she found out Jeb had been cheating on her while good wife Mary Katherine kept his home in order, she really had no incentive to stay. Her temper had always been her downfall. So she filed for divorce, packed her bag, and moved out to the west coast to follow her dreams. What did she have to lose? She couldn’t make the life her parents wanted for her work, she might as well try, right?

Her parents were disappointed, of course. Devasted, really. They couldn’t understand how she could give up so easily. Despite Jeb’s downfalls, she’d made a vow. Divorce was a sin, and they’d raised her to be stronger than that. How could she bring such shame on their family? But all the backlash from her family only managed to light a bigger fire under her (which was really saying something, because Kitty was already fiery by nature). She would succeed. She’d prove she could have it all, even if it wasn’t the life “God” had planned for her.

She got a few bit roles (mainly of the bitchy cheerleader variety – she could relate), but it’s this job on Performing the Arts that she thinks will be her real big break. And honestly, though she’s lost some of her faith in the church these past few years, she’s praying to the Big Guy that this will be it – the job that puts her name in lights. It feels… special. Different. She knows it in her gut. And she can’t wait to show everyone back home just how wrong they were.

YOUR CHARACTER’S HEAD CANON FOR THEIR CHARACTER:

Kitty knows Ivy. She was Ivy. Except for the whole… sleeping around with her best friend’s dude thing.

Ivy plays the part of vicious Queen Bee quite well, but underneath the ice queen act is an actual beating heart. Which is why, even though Vera’s gone Goth Girl, she can’t quite find it in her to ditch her – even if her every instinct says she should.

It’s also why despite what she may say (to herself and others) she actually kind of feels bad about sleeping with Atticus. She does genuinely care about Vera, probably more than she cares about most things in her life. She just also cares about Atticus (she’s not prepared to admit that one to herself yet either).

At home, she’s daddy’s little princess (and mommy’s perfect mini me) – which is great, one doesn’t strive for popularity if they don’t enjoy being the center of attention. But she wants more than this. More than the perfect life her parents have planned. And maybe that’s why she still aligns herself with Vera, even after the make-under. (And maybe why she let herself give into her desires, despite the fact it will surely end badly). Because that connection makes her feel like there is hope for more.

Still, she totally swears this was the last time she’ll hook up Atticus. She’s a good friend, she promises.
