Pronunciation: Kate (k-AYT) Mercer (mer-ser)

Role: The Groups "Glue" / Emotionally Strong

Description: Kate is the group’s protector, fiercely loyal to her friends. She's the one everyone turns to when they need a shoulder to lean on or when things get rough. While she’s deeply caring, she’s also very pragmatic, which sometimes makes her seem cold or distant. When Tess disappeared, Kate stepped up to keep the group together, but not everyone agreed with her methods of handling things. Her role as a leader is often challenged, and her secrets might prove to be the group’s undoing.

Personality: Kate is fiercely independent, confident, and no-nonsense. She can come off as harsh to some, but she’s only trying to protect the people she cares about. She holds her emotions close to her chest and tends to make decisions based on logic rather than feelings. She tends to take control of situations, which sometimes makes her overbearing. Her biggest struggle is dealing with the balance between keeping secrets for the greater good and keeping her loyalty to her friends.
