	On one hand, Kathy is a friendly hippie who loves to perform for people and hear their stories, protective of the other homeless in her neighborhood, and generally laid back. On the other, she is a hardened idealist who brooks no disagreement to her hardline philosophy which rejects spirit slavery and dominance. She has little tolerance for immorality or excuses for such. Though she doesn't seem violent, she is capable of it easily when her territory or ideals are threatened. She could easily be beta but has no desire to be. She has great respect for Okasan, is wary of Dave as both a former soldier and a cop, and is very fond of Takami.

-	Kathy Young was born in 1950, during the redevelopment of the Fillmore District. Her mother told her that her father was Louis Armstrong and she grew up with a love for jazz. However, the two of them ended up on the street when they were forced from their home when she was five. She was left on her own at the age of nine when her mother died, but managed to get by because of a talent for music but went through hard times until her First Change in 1967. She wasn't aware what had happened to her and nobody was available to explain it to her until a visitor to the city noticed her on the street. He was a hippie but also an Uratha. He taught her who she was, what it meant, and inducted her into his tribe and lodge. She spent ~~two~~ years with him both in the city and traveling to communes in the Bay Area before he went his way and she returned to her home. Revitalized, with new purpose, she began to try and establish a territory in the Fillmore on her own and ran into Okasan. The two collaborated, found they had similar views, and agreed with the approach of each other's Lodges. They worked together in the neighborhood informally until the 1980s when Okasan's husband died and Dave showed up and the three decided to become a pack. She stays on the street, mostly because of her dedication to [[Uprooted]], who has been watching over her since well before her First Change.	+	Kathy Young was born in 1950, during the redevelopment of the Fillmore District.

==Background==
Hirumi Ishikawa was born in 1930 and spent her teenage years in a Japanese interment camp with her family. It was in the camp that she Changed, her parents trying hard to guide her through it despite their lack of first-hand experience, but eventually she made contact with other Japanese Uratha and joined them on their release. She learned all she could and then returned to San Francisco and fought to get back the property that her grandfather had owned, increasing awareness of the injustice of the interment and making friends within the struggling remains of Japantown. Once she had the locus back, she tended it on her own for many years with only the occasional assistance of other members of her lodge in the Bay Area. She married another refugee from the interment who started a restaurant and they had several children. Her husband died in the eighties of a stroke and none of her children seemed to inherit the wolf-blood. At about the same time, she found two new Uratha and formed a pack. One Changed in the neighborhood and Hirumi helped her through it. The other had Changed in Japan and she found him through his frequent visits to the Buddhist temple. The pack claimed an actual territory centered on Japantown immediately after. Toward the end of the century, her granddaughter unexpectedly Changed and she brought her into the pack. She still runs her husband's restaurant (called Okasan, or "mother") and is well-known in the city for her fine traditional rustic Japanese cuisine.
