Biography
One day when Oscar was visiting Moorin's orphanage in the Kingdom of Velka's capital Velnika, where Katy and the other children he grew up with were living, he detected an unfamiliar person inside. As Oscar saw that it was a beautiful girl named Miledi, he was about to attack her due to her childish antics, but Katy and the other kids suddenly arrived to stop him and claimed that she was a guest. During dinner, the kids were bragging to Miledi about how great Oscar was, but it quickly changed when another of the orphans named Ruth claimed that Oscar was weak. Miledi refuted Ruth's accusations by claiming that she could tell how great a person Oscar was, and that she had found someone very special to be with. Everyone else was shocked by Miledi's declaration, to which she responded by jokingly accusing Oscar of already having found himself two young wives in Katy and Corrin. Both girls were shocked by this sudden accusation, with Katy quietly admitting hat she wouldn't mind marrying Oscar. The conversation ended when Oscar threw Miledi out and told her to stay away.

One week later, Katy and the other orphans were abducted by the Holy Church and taken to the kingdom's mines. Oscar managed to track them thanks to the special pendants he gave each of them that acted like homing signals. When he confronted Bishop Forneus Abyssion, who was the mastermind of the kidnappings, he was suddenly attacked by several of the abducted children, including Katy and Dylan. They had all been brainwashed through a mysterious Artifact and were now soulless warriors that were loyal to the church. Oscar tried to hold them off, but eventually surrendered after seeing that they would strain themselves to death from all the fighting. Forneus made Oscar submit to him in exchange for Katy and Dylan's safety, to which Oscar reluctantly agreed to. As he was about the swear his oath of loyalty, however, they were suddenly approached by Miledi, who was carrying the Artifact the church was using on the children with her Gravity Magic and revealed that Forneus actually had no idea on how to reverse the process that transformed the children. Forneus attempted to have Oscar fight for him by threatening to have Katy and Dylan kill themselves, but the two kids were subdued by Miledi as she used her magic to knock them out.

After Oscar and Miledi rescued the kids, Katy and her family were taken in by Miledi's group, the Liberators, for their protection. Unfortunately, both she and Dylan remained unconscious and could not be healed through normal means. They eventually reached the Liberators' hidden village at the bottom of Reisen Gorge, where she was constantly tended to by Corrin. Months later, when the Liberators were attacked by mutated demons from the Igdol Empire, they were forced to evacuate, with Katy having to be carried out by Moorin. They were eventually met up with members from the Schnee Clan and found refuge with them in their hidden village in the Obsidian Tundra. Soon afterwards, they were met with Meiru Melusine, as she could use her own Ancient Magic to heal Katy and Dylan. While she had been successful at awakening them, the damage they received to their souls was beyond even her ability to restore. As such, the two of them were only capable of executing the simplest of movements, and could not communicate properly.

Overtime Katy began to display more of her independence, as well as her innermost desires that she would otherwise have not show in public. In particular, she became much more affectionate towards Oscar and would constantly be at his side.

When Laus Barn joined the Liberators after defecting from the church, he examined Katy and Dylan's souls and determined that he could restore them to their original state, but it would take him a month to do so for each person (even factoring in the aid of Lyutillis Haltina and her Evolution Magic). Furthermore, even after they would be cured, Laus would need to maintain treating them indefinitely due to the other souls fused in each of them was too complete for him to remove for good. Despite this setback, everyone else was confident that Oscar could create an Artifact capable of maintaining their original souls in lieu of Laus having to always treat them.
