Katie Greensborough

"“jesus h christ and also goddamnit” – Katie, via text, to Kieran Anville" Katie Greensborough (full name Katherine Jean Greensborough) is a human player character. She is controlled by Ani. Katie is the daughter of Scott Benjamin and Martha Greensborough, and is the middle child between her brothers, John Christian and Mason Greensborough. She is currently under the instruction of Corbin Bell, an employee of The Scotsman, and works for The Phoenix Jackson Museum of Curiosities, under the supervision of Adeline Vance.

She is originally from Stony Creek, Michigan. Having picked up a sports scholarship for rowing, she currently attends Florida State University in Tallahassee, and is an active member of the rowing team there, having secured the position of Team A/B coxswain. She was formerly in a relationship with the modern-day version of one of Ani’s characters for another campaign, Rowan Stellaris. Emphasis on formerly.

Appearance
Katie is a rather tall and lanky young woman, with startlingly red hair (previously, she was a blonde, but due to popular demand/headcanons among the other players, she was deemed a redhead). She consistently wears her hair in a ponytail of medium tightness and has bangs that just evade her eyes. Her face is speckled with a multitude of freckles, which extend onto her neck, chest, and upper back. At the beginning of season two, She has a noticeably large scar on her left leg which is barely uncovered by shorts, common attire for the warm weather in Florida. The majority of the other scars she’s begun to accumulate are on her upper chest, which are conveniently covered by  most upper body clothing, and on her shoulders, which are, less conveniently, not covered by her rowing uniform. Her clothing mostly consists of anything comfortable, from shorts to leggings to stretching jeans, and in most art she is depicted wearing a classical collared quarter zip sports jacket bearing the FSU acronym, that has 2 white stripes along the collar and cuffs over a nondescript T-shirt.

Personality
Katie has a penchant for not taking people very seriously, and often messing with them, as she finds their reactions funny, with notable exceptions: she often takes a quite aggressive standpoint in any situation that could be construed as dire, and she messes with Lucius Zann in limited contexts which can be picked up as obvious joking. She realizes the merit of a good joke but shares sentiments with Lucius in a distaste of either blatant or underhanded manipulation of herself or those she holds close.

A very obvious extrovert, she has a rather large circle of friends, ranging from the people that she works with at the museum, including Ellison Prince, Lucius, and to a lesser extent, Kieran Anville, to a large number of members of the rowing team and people that she goes to class with. This circle of friends, particularly the latter two classifications, has shrunk after her breakup with Rowan, which could be described in words such as “unreasonable,” “unfair,” and “completely fucking batshit.”

She is particularly good at picking up on the physical and emotional states of other people, and attempting to get along with them, which has aided her in her ability to relate with a great number of people, though her ability, linked with her inborn magical ability of “Aura sight,” can sometimes unsettle people.

Throughout season one, as she spirals deeper into the depths of magic and her obsessions, she became at various points unhinged, showing small amounts of violent, coarse, and uncaring tendencies. Thankfully, through interactions with other player characters, notably with Ellison, she was able to reign in that part of her, and asks for others to let her know if she’s going “too far.” During the events of season one, she also shows a vulnerable side to other player characters, being very concerned for her future path of going to law school and maintaining her appearance as a “functioning member of society” despite her new knowledge of the occult underground.

Being a middle child, she knows the joys and pains of being both a younger and an older sibling. In addition, she has “a bit of a martyr complex:” she decides quite quickly that her suffering, physically, mentally, or emotionally is preferable to any one of her friends getting hurt. This is most likely due to her upbringing (or rather lack thereof) which has encouraged her by habit to take care of others at the expense of her own happiness.
